AJ's Burgers — Restaurant in City of New Rochelle

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. AJ’s Burgers in New Rochelle is the definition of next-level comfort food. The owner cooked for me personally, and every single dish was made from scratch with care, passion, and serious skill.

The Club Burger was insane—made with a blend of chuck, brisket, navel, and short rib. Topped with homemade chipotle sauce, fresh lettuce, tomato, factory pickles (not those soggy jar ones), and cheese, all packed into one juicy, flavorful bite. On the side? Potato wedges that are first baked, then fried—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

The buffalo wings were cooked with precision—baked first, then fried, and tossed in a bubbling pan of red hot sauce over a flame, with butter added at the end for that smooth finish. Paired with house-made blue cheese that was thick, rich, and anything but watery.

But the real showstopper was the chicken parm. Served with linguine made using imported Italian pasta and cooked with the mending technique (adding marinara to the boiling water), this dish was hands down the best chicken parm I’ve ever had.

Finally, dessert. The cannoli was stuffed fresh with ricotta and topped with dark chocolate nibblets. AJ uses Artuso cannoli shells, and Artuso himself taught him how to stuff them right. You can taste that legacy.

This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. AJ puts heart into everything, and it shows. If you’re anywhere near New Rochelle,...

Have dined in AJ's many times. Ordered takeout today (#1 Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Parm, and Chipotle Sauce Burger, to name a few greats). Wanted to try the ribs and the wings. Both were outstanding. The wings are as good as any in Westchester, and the ribs can challenge any barbacue-centric eateries as well. Meaty (half-rack is PLENTY) great rub and outstanding sauce on the side. When I got home, I noticed my black and white milkshake was not included. So I checked the bill and saw that it was charged and phoned the restaurant and asked them for a credit. Seeing the size of the ribs and the wings I really thought the idea of fitting in a thick black and white milkshake, which I have had from AJ's in the past and it is excellent, wasn't necessary. They asked if someone could bring it to me, and I said it wasn't necessary as I am about 4 miles away. Just asked for the credit, which they agreed to provide. Moments later, my phone rang, and it was the owner AJ. He really wanted to have someone bring me my milkshake, and so I didn't want to deny his devotion to service and agreed. Not only did someone show up within 10 minutes with my milkshake, but two FREE brownies were thrown in on the house, and they were EXCELLENT. It's just a rare experience today to feel so satisfied with a decision to patronize a business. I'm looking forward to my...

Our 1st visit. Definitely NOT the last. The Owner, AJ was welcoming from the moment we walked in. Not only was the customer service on point, but the social distancing and disposable utensils and flatware made our decision to dine in all the better!! Now let’s get to the food: we were given huge samples of homemade coleslaw that for me, was THE BEST EVER!! I ordered the Surf & Turf Burger - a burger mixed with beef and shrimp TOGETHER!! OMG...you’ve got to try it. Mine was Medium and it was PERFECTLY cooked. My husband had the Club Burger, y’all look that one up. It was good, but didn’t compare to the Surf & Turf Burger (had to give it props AGAIN and repeat that name❤️). We had both Regular and Garlic Fries. Both were average and nothing overwhelming, but great with our Burgers. Oh and btw, you need BOTH HANDS to handle these Burgers! Finally fully stuffed, AJ offered us a nice selection of desserts - we had to decline. But...here comes that quality Customer Service: samples of Toasted Almond Coconut Ice Cream. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! We can’t wait for our next visit. Looking to try those Ribs!! AJ “thank you” for a memorable dinner!! Wishing your establishment ALL THE BEST!! Sorry no pictures. When we saw those burgers it was...
