AJ's Burgers

What a great first time experience at AJ Berger’s what a hidden gem! Food was outrageous we had Cheese raviolis with homemade vodka sauce, the best I ever had, from Bugatti ie Arthur Avenue amazing! The young man that served us was incredibly sweet, attentive and professional! The owner even came over to us and acknowledged us and went above and beyond to make our dining experience top notch! he also recommended the most amazing desserts and homemade ice cream to die for, the Cannoli’s were so fresh so delicious! This place had great service and the owner kept coming over to make sure we were happy. Can't speak highly enough about this place. I will definitely be coming back again to try their famous burgers!

It feels like family! I have traveled across the world to eat, and today I felt the love, passion and dedication that the chef presented in all the dishes. The Chef and Owner Alan aka AJ, he made exquisite dishes from stuffed raviolis to pork prosciutto bread and delicately crafted mango martinis. He provided an unforgettable experience bringing dish after dish with passion and care and most of all attention to detail. AJ personally delivered every dish and explained the makings and where they originated from. This was an art and a passion I have not felt from any chef since culinary school. If you're ever in New Roc please come visit tell him hi and experience his passion of love through food! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience AJ! I am anticipating the next food experience.

Totally love this place! If you want amazing food, service and atmosphere I totally recommend. The staff were phenomenal and accommodating. We were blessed to be served by AJ and the student he is training and they were both so sweet, check in and multiple times and made sure you were doing well. He had a very family feel and that is rare these days. AJ and the staff kudos to you ❤️ you are amazing xoxo

What an awesome family owned restaurant! Very friendly and helpful. Food was very yummy. The pulled pork nachos was tasty, crispy and came with extras on the side to pump it up. The sauce on the pasta was delicious. Highly recommend the wedge fries. It was super crispy and goes well with their home made sauces. Portions are large with lots of leftovers.

This was our first time coming to AJ’s Burgers, and it was truly beyond our expectations. The food was amazing across the board, the burgers were outstanding, the pasta was excellent, and the ribs are an absolute must. We strongly recommend the ribs with their homemade BBQ sauce, they were phenomenal! AJ, the chef, came out multiple times to check on us, which really made the experience feel personal and special. You need to come and experience this place for yourself. Highly recommended.

Fresh homemade and very delicious ❣️ The burgers are all tasty combos. Be sure to try their famous habanero or shrimp burger. Do not snooze on the Italian specialties. Best chicken parm and shrimp lobster Positano. But craving everyday AJ’s famous shrimp bisque-to die for.! BTW the mozzarella is made on site-dreamy and creamy. Follow me on IG @DonnaDishes

The beer is excellent, and the wings were perfectly crispy with flavorful sauce, complemented by delicious blue cheese. The dessert options are fantastic, offering a wide variety to choose from. The menu provides a great selection of food, and everything tastes fresh. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service was impeccable. It’s no surprise they’re Zagat-rated! I would definitely return and highly recommend this place to others.

Hi, your service is excellent. Friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. My only problem was the clams in the linguine with clams in a white wine sauce was the clams were a little gritty. I personally like the cockles for this dish because they are smaller and easier to eat. Over all dinner was super. Thank you for all you do for community as well.

went back and this time got a burger and chicken sandwich. they were sweet to cut the entrees in half for sharing with my partner. they even gave us nachos appetizer and brownie dessert in the house as a treat! the burger was really good and the sandwich was my favorite i had in awhile. the french fries were overcooked and a lil burnt so i wouldn't recommend that; it's probably because we went around closing time. but the rest of the entries were top tier and very fulfilling i was so full. the service is very attentive and dedicated it's the best i've experienced in the whole city and that's says a lot 10/10 A+

Went to AJs for the first time and was inpressed! Some of my friends have been going here for years, and I finally made my way over to try. I had the Hot Spicy Honey Butter Pablo Chicken sandwich - WOW. Not only was it huge in size, but my taste buds blew up. So many flavors in one sandwich. The spice, freshness of the chicken, cooling of the pickles. Delish!! I also was able to try their burger special - Brie Burger. (a friend got it) That too was a big size- basically a full salad on a burger. she didn't know how to even start eating it! We got the thin fries as well - they were extra crispy, just how I like them. Only negative thing I would say, is that it's a little pricey. $22.00 for the sandwich and & $8.00 for the fries, so you're paying $30 if you want sandwich and fries, whereas most pubs/American food places you can get all that for $20 and under. None of us even got alcohol and we each paid over 40... But nonetheless , will most likely be back!

I've had food with AJ's a few times. My first experience was at a party, where AJs was the caterer, and I was impressed with the variety and taste of the food - everything from pigs in a blanket, sliders, a salad, and pasta. My more recent experience was with delivery. Overall, I was still very pleased with the food. The burgers seem to be a guaranteed slam dunk. My pulled pork was very tasty, but in comparison to the size of the burgers, it felt a little more mediocre. I was blown away by the size of the chicken sandwich, and I would definitely consider getting that next time.

Love my experience every time. A hands on customer service based restaurant with delicious food and delicious desserts. AJ's is a neighborhood staple that has evolved and so has the menu. The pizzas are delicious. The pasta fresh and yummy. You really cannot have a bad meal here. The atmosphere is chill and easy going. That's a great spot for families, friends or even a date.You

Came in for lunch and grabbed a burger and fries. Really like the burgers here. A number of local events I went to had their burgers or sliders, which I enjoyed. Overall, a casual vibe and it was busy, so was able to relax. Server was nice.

Gotta update my review. Was in the area and was able to pop in for lunch today. It's just as good as it was and they've added so much more to the menu. The service is spectacular. They keep checking up on you and are very friendly. So glad I was able to sit inside and enjoy it this time. Got my favorite Panko crusted chicken fingers with a side of their delicious homemade BBQ sauce, a burger, and pulled BBQ slider. The French fries are so good they're like potato wedges, soft and pillowy inside and crunchy on the outside. Would definitely return against hopefully soon!

I can't believe it took me to long to discover AJ's Burgers. Our server Anisa delivered exactly what we ordered. Burgers were delicious, caramelized onions were actually caramelized. Fresh burger buns. Did my side of broccoli rabe make that a healthy meal? My partner ordered homemade potato wedge fries and they were great. The menu is extensive. I will be back to try the chicken meatballs, eggplant parmesan and shakes. Service is warm and welcoming. AJ himself came over to check on us. The place is clean and well maintained. There is street parking outside.

This place definitely rates up there! The atmosphere is casual and pleasant. The service is nice and fast, and the food was surprisingly tasty! And overall it was pretty good deal portion wise, especially for the sandwiches. Usually I hate on wedge fries for being soggy and bland, but these were crisp and very well seasoned! In hindsight as I'm adding the photos, I realized they didn't add avocado to my salad, but it's aight. I would still definitely return.

My fav place to eat at. Love the burger and salads. Aj is so nice and extremely helpful. The shakes and desserts are an add. Don't skip out

A++++J's!!! Hello there sexy! The Garden Burger (aka veggie burger) was so good I had to triple check that it wasn't actually beef. No joke. Fries are to die for. Truffle fries in particular, but the regular fries were just as yummy. Sophisticated ambiance in the space that was way nicer than the burger joint I expected to be honest. Attentive servers with great attitudes to boot. Not to mention the "after dinner mint" that was a perfect pint-sized morsel of a warm brownie bite. Insider Info: No matter what anyone tells you....get your own order of fries. No sharing. You will thank me later.

We have been going to AJs for years since we first moved to New Rochelle and our kids were small. It is always a welcoming atmosphere with good food. Tonight I had the opportunity to appreciate them even more. I ordered dinner online through their website for delivery. Easy and cheaper than through the apps. However, the food is delivered via Uber and despite getting the texts that the driver was on his way, close by, etc. our food never arrived. I texted the driver, no response. About 25 min after it was expected to be delivered, I called the restaurant. The woman who answered was super nice, tracked down the food (the Uber driver left it at the wrong house), and remade the order immediately. They included dessert on them and refunded the our order. AJ himself delivered it within 15 min. You cannot beat that for customer service (and dinner was excellent)!

Had another awesome dinner at AJ's with my two college aged kids! We had the braised clams appetizer, rice, balls, and the surf and turf burgers. Everything was unbelievably delicious! We just kept dipping the bread in the clam sauce, which was heavenly. I didn't take any pictures because we were too busy eating as soon as the food hit the table! lol It's just that good! Thank you again for an awesome dinner at your restaurant. Keep up the great work. We'll be back. Karl from Fleetwood

I truly cannot speak higher of this restaurant. AJ the owner, is the kindest human being with incredible hospitality. The food is nothing less that superb! The flavors in each meal are so authentic and everything. Is extremely freshly made. We brought my in laws and they amazed by the service and how delicious the food was. From the chicken parmigiana, the surf and turf burger, the salmon with arugula salad, the shrimp bisque, all the way to the cannoli, was cooked to perfection. This is now our family go to. We love the service, the food, the ambience and of course AJ himself. Shout out to our server Eric too, he was on point the entire time! If you're thinking of coming here, just to it. You won't regret it!

I went to AJ'S on Saturday with 3 other friends . The food was excellent , the service was over the top and the owner who works the business was there and is a gentleman. He works with the employees to make the experience over the top. He kept bringing samples of food to the table . Never had such a good experience like this before . We had the fried cheese and chicken meatballs for appetizers and they were amazing. AJ gave us fresh Mozzarella. The entrees were over the top . We had Ribs and the Shrimp bisque and pasta and a salad . The desert was also amazing . A must go to place and AJ the host is very professional and fun to talk to .

Food was amazing One of the best burgers I have ever had. Service was second to none. Very attentive. Owner came over to say hello. This was my first visit. Will be coming back.

Came here with a large party for Mother's Day. They were very accommodating since we came late, right before closing. They put us in a 8 seater table by the window. Great spot in the cut, I loved it. Also, it wasn't busy and we got the red carpet treatment. I met AJ the owner and his daughter who was our waitress. They were both incredible. Super personable, friendly, social and patient since we had kids with us who were a little picky. The menu's are online and on the table. All the food came out hot. A few of the items people ordered at the table, they weren't fans of once they tried them and they immediately removed them from the bill and offered other options, no fuss no muss. We had multiple items: garlic knots, regular cheese burger with onions, lettuce and chipotle mayo, garlic parmesan truffle fries (delicious, cooked crispy like I prefer), Whiskey sours (needed a little more whiskey, but still good in my opinion), chicken tenders fries (very good), caprese (wasn't bad), bread, clams, salmon, and a couple of other options. Everyone loved their full meal or at least something about it. They asked about desert and everyone was stuff, so they gave us some brownies to take home, mine didn't make it all the way home. Shhh! LOL PS. AJ is a big Yankees fan, so he already got brownie points in my book. No pun intended. PS, PS. If you check in here currently they are offering garlic knots with your meal. YOU'RE WELCOME! Needless to say me and my family definitely be back, because being there we felt like we were all part of the family. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and making the Mother's that were there feel as special as they actually are.

Imagine stumbling on a burger joint that serves it up on an industry standard chef pan, has a menu well beyond burgers ... however not looking down my nose at a good burger and shakes good enough to make you slap mama. Here we go: - chicken basil meatballs were flavorful and perfectly cooked - the SLAW. Leads with a vinegaresque flavor profile but has other goodness in there to make a great slaw. Well done. - shrimp PO boy thing (forgot the name). Shrimp were fresh and snappy. Fries were great as well and I'm not into fries. Anyway, will return to this shop for sure.

I'm addition to making the most delicious homemade food AJ is amazingly compassionate and supportive! At a stressful time I called requesting a meal for 15 (with 24 hours notice) and he helped me plan the ideal menu, considered different dietary needs, took my anxiety out of the delivery and sent the most wonderful meal that was scarfed down by everyone. This is the place to call if you need catering small or large!

We went for the burger but loved the ribs. While the burger was huge, unfortunately we could not taste the char and it was tasteless. The fries were homemade large potato silvers that were good. Now the pork ribs were moist and flavorful with a wonderful dipping sauce. Definitely nailed that. Our server was nice and relatively new. Not much help. They need some help with the menu's, which were online and confusing to me. The owner is wonderful and a good reason to go back and try some more menu items. Not much ambiance to speak of. It is like eating in a deli. Go visit and order the ribs and fries!!!! It is a 5 star rib place.

Wow AJ! You've done it again!! Look my dear readers at this line-caught (yes environmentally sustainable practice) cod over a bed of perfectly cooked pasta and spinach... The flavors, textures, and tastes are superb. 100 percent I'll be ordering this again. Oh, I already did... Enjoy!

One of our favorite places to eat. Food is great. And service is top notch. AJ himself is always visible and helping out wherever needed. You can see he takes pride in his establishment. He always makes sure everyone is happy and things are moving smoothly. Very family friendly as well. They give little balls of dough to the kids to make their own breads while they wait.

The food is fresh, delicious and the service was outstanding Your greeted at the door with such a welcoming and warm manner.

Great burger, great food, great service. A burger and fries are one of my favorite meals and AJ's does them well. Their pizza is really good too. I wish I lived a little bit closer, I'd be there all the time.

There is nothing to complain about this restaurant. Went with my husband and kids on Sunday. I was recommended and it was a great experience all around with the food quality, presentation and the service. Staff worked well together and owner AJ was so personable.

Best cheeseburger I've had in a while. Ingredients were so fresh and the patty was thick and juicy. Fried cheese was the January special, served with garlic cilantro sauce, though I felt it went better with the spicy habanero sauce the boss was so nice to bring to us (we told him we liked spicy) Our server was very friendly too. Would come back again

We wanted total comfort food for a family funeral reception- AJ went above and beyond with the most delicious selection of smoky pulled pork, coleslaw (not to much mayo), sliders, mac and cheese (GREAT M&C- not goopy, really flavorful), fresh breadsticks, our favorite slightly crunchy broccoli salad with olives and red onion, super fresh cannoli, brownie bites, the works. Great veggie platter, too. Oh, and the WINGS, spicy and not too saucy. Those disappeared. And how many places clearly make their own russian and blue cheese dressings, their own BBQ sauce? He brought everything in a hot box that kept the trays perfectly hot for hours. THEN he came back to check on us later. We love having dinner at AJs, but I can't recommend their catering enough. THANK YOU!

Have eaten at AJ's quite a few times and never had anything that wasn't over the top. AJ is usually there to say hello and has always treated us very well like family. As far as the food, it's tasty and never lets you down and you would have to travel very far in search of a better burger but never find one and the fries are excellent too just the way I like them. We haven't been there in a while because of the pandemic but will certainly be back again again now that it's subsided. See ya soon AJ.

Great food, great workers, great owner . . . my one complaint would be that they need to go back to using paper menus. The whole "scan the QR code for our menu" thing is really annoying and you can't even access the menu from their website, a person should not have to download an app just to view an online menu. I would literally stop going there just because of this.

To start the place is incredibly clean and the owner is extremely welcoming. The menu has a lot of great choices. The house made bread is pizza dough like. The cheeseburger is fresh, flavorful and handformed.handsome. The French fries are handcut. The eggplant parmesan is homey. Everything is served in stainless steel skillets and all the portions are generous. Next time dessert. Oh, free parking in the lot across the street after 6pm.

The food was delicious and very yummy and the service was great and the amblance was great

It's been 8 years since my original 5 star review of AJ's and after visiting twice in the past month, I'm sorry I cannot give a sixth star. Food, excellent. Service, excellent. Space, comfortable w a nice vibe. Music, always a great selection. And, the owner Allen is as ever-present and attentive as he ever was. A wonderful experience every single time. I love AJ's Burgers.

This place was pretty decent for lunch while in New Rochelle. It wasn't extremely easy to find a good lunch place that was kid friendly in the area and that had outdoor seating. This place accommodated us and set up a table outside so that we could bring the kids and dine al fresco! As soon as we sat down, they gave us dough in a tin for the kids to play with. The menu was through a QR code which was super easy and there were a lot of options for lunch. Being a burger place, it would've been good if they had different kinds of burger meat, like turkey or chicken. My little one ordered the kids slider that came with fries and throughly enjoyed it. I decided on the grilled chicken sandwich with roasted broccoli rabe, hot peppers and subbed provolone for cheddar. The bun was toasted to perfection with delicious garlic on it. I had to take some of the hot peppers off because it was a bit too spicy for me but it was such a great sandwich! I wish I took a pic of it. The sandwich was so big I was only able to eat a quarter of it! I was a little disappointed that they only wrapped up half of it though! But if I'm ever in that area again, I'd go back!

What a great lunch! The burgers were delicious and the fries crunchy the way we like them. AJ made it a point to check in with us personally, making sure we tried a bite of the homemade coleslaw based on his mom's recipe. In fact, everything was homemade, including the delicious chocolate mousse that finished off our meal. Our waitress Rachel and the entire team took excellent care of us so that we were in and out in no time. We will definitely be back!

My group all has very different meals and they were all excellent. Great service, too!!

What stands out about AJs is the personal touch and the home cooked entrees! I always feel like my good wash freshly prepared w nothing out of the freezer.

I don't leave reviews too often, but AJ's deserves it. Excellent burgers, excellent sides and they have, by far, the coldest beer in New Rochelle. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. 5/5 stars. Come here, you won't regret it.

Really good food go try it it has the best service and ambiance Buffalo Chicken Sliders

food and service has always been great at this place. always friendly and the prices are reasonable.and the business is always involved in its community

Amazing burgers, great service too. The ppl were really nice and food came out quickly. High quality food and atmosphere was superb.

This is in response to the review I made on 02/10/24. I sent the review before I was able to resolve the issue with AJ's Burgers. I tried to take back what was said but wasn't able too. When entering the restaurant, I was greeted with warmth and kindness! AJ came out and said hello to us as well as other guest dinning that night. Which I thought was pretty cool! I called the restaurant and spoke with AJ on 02/11/2024. I was able to explain the disappointment I experienced the night before. He was more than willing to resolve the issue and even invited me back for another visit. I rushed to judgment on the treatment of brown folks, with this establishment! Several restaurants in NY have a way of making you feel you aren't welcomed! (AJ PLEASE EXCEPT MY APOLOGY)!!!!!

Went here for the first time and it is a nice place but a little on the pricey side imo. A chicken sandwich for example was around $17 which seems high to me. Many meals also don't come with a side so I paid additional for a side of fries. I wound up getting the garden burger (veggie) for $12 it tasted good but it completely fell apart with every bite (see attached photo) so i barely was able to eat it. The photo below shows the issue I had. Also not crazy about the style fries they have. I still have 4 stars because the service was fast and place was nice. If I go back I'll try a regular burger and not the veggie. One last thing the bun for my burger was amazing!

Not just a burger joint!! Hidden gem with expansive menu. Pickled veges, coleslaw and roasted veges great healthy sides. If you want a juicy tasty burger with so many varieties to choose from this is the place to go. Paninis are generously filled. I had the chicken, broccoli rabe and cherry peppers, it was delicious. Entrees are also available. Owner is very hospitable and hands on. You must try it, it won't disappoint.

Tried this place for the first time tonight hoping it lived up to the reviews... and it did! Amazing burgers and fries... exceptional milkshakes and the owner (we presume) sent us an order of the garlic knots to try while we waited. He came around to tables and chatted and checked on everyone. Very friendly and attentive staff... all around great experience and we will be back!

So impressed by what AJ's has going on! We stopped in a couple months back with our seven month old and had a great time. The staff is SO friendly and was so welcoming to us and our little guy. Their burgers hit the spot, as do their fries, and of course, the famous ice cream! We were given some to sample and it was the perfect treat on a summer day. Great spot right in the heart of New Rochelle! Looking forward to going back.

We were in New Rochelle for a wedding and I told my fiancé to just find a place that was close to our Air B&B. She selected AJ's burgers on a whim, and it did not disappoint. The food was so fresh and hot. The staff and service was one of the best experiences we had during our time in New York area. The staff was so friendly, and recommended so much to us for our trip. Absolutely will go here again next time we're in town, even if we're not in New Rochelle! Great work everyone!!!

Food is amazing! Service is fantastic; haven't been disappointed yet other than when I want to go and it's closed

We went with a group of guys from our church. Everything was great! Allen (AJ) was was super friendly and the staff was very attentive. The food was awesome. One of our guys was having trouble with using the phone for ordering so Allen just asked him what he liked and made him the best Italian burger he's ever had. The bread and olive oil and fresh mozzarella and tomato were a great way to start off. We all had various burgers and loved them, including the veggie burger. The mix of burger meat that they use is absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back and look forward to trying the many other things on the extensive menu! Thank you! Tom & the guys from Harrison Presbyterian Church

Definitely gonna be my go to spot for a burger from now on, so dang good, and the fries were incredible
