AJ's Burgers New Rochelle: The Ultimate Destination for Gourmet Burgers, Italian, and BBQ in NY

AJ's Burgers Introduce

Welcome to AJ's Burgers, a celebrated culinary landmark nestled in the heart of New Rochelle, NY. More than just a hamburger restaurant, AJ’s has cultivated a reputation as a diverse and beloved dining establishment that skillfully merges the best of American comfort food—including phenomenal burgers and in-house smoked BBQ—with classic Italian and fresh Seafood offerings. Under the passionate guidance of Chef and Owner Alan Cohen, affectionately known as AJ, this spot is a true New York gem, reflecting his Bronx roots and extensive experience in the Westchester dining scene. The restaurant is built on a foundation of 'love, passion, and dedication,' as noted by patrons, ensuring every meal is an unforgettable experience.

AJ’s Burgers distinguishes itself in the highly competitive New York food landscape by committing to an authentic, high-quality cooking process. It proudly operates as a "no seed oil restaurant," exclusively utilizing beef tallow for its famous, hand-cut fries, and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and avocado oil for other preparations. This dedication to superior ingredients, coupled with the chef’s personal touch—often seeing AJ himself delivering dishes and sharing their stories—creates a warm, cozy, and trendy atmosphere that feels like dining with family. It’s no surprise that it's popular among locals, college students from Iona, families, and tourists alike for lunch and dinner, as well as for solo dining.

The menu is a testament to the restaurant’s multi-cuisine capability. While the legendary, repeatedly "Best NY Burger" winning beef patty—a delicious blend of Brisket, Naval, short-rib, and Chuck—is a major draw, the culinary creativity extends far beyond. Diners can explore specialties like the Surf & Turf Burger, the Pulled Pork Burger, or the seasonal Brie Burger. The Italian offerings are equally celebrated, featuring classic dishes like Chicken Parmigiana and Homemade Meatballs over imported linguine, and even Borgatti's Cheese Ravioli Marinara. The in-house smoked BBQ, including juicy Baby Back Ribs and tender Pulled Pork, provides yet another layer of flavor that satisfies serious cravings.

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.

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.

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

I couldn't write this fast enough! Date night with dad after a doc appt. in New Rochelle, I decided to take him to AJ's Burgers 🍔 John n I ordered from them once and fell in food love! A day later I was like "I need those garlic rolls!" First time inside today and it's really nice. Thanks to AJ, I now have a new favorite Pandora playlist! 🎶 I was groovin'! Back to the garlic rolls... O👏🏼M👏🏼G👏🏼 Please try them. I had to bring an order home for hubs. 😋😋😋 Chicken meatballs delish. Fresh bread. I was served a tray of chicken parm and linguine! The kind where the first bite makes your eyes roll back, you sit back n say o.m.g. Dad had porkchops n sausages and we both took home to go boxes. Cannot wait to come back with John! #datenightreview #garlicrolls #AJs #yum

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, run, don’t walk.
