    I've been here several times. For a bar and grill, they have great homemade food.  Either at the bar or in the dinning room, service on the other hand has always lacked. This is a 2 star place. I gave it 3 because they are fighting an uphill battle in the declining city of Trenton.

    I also saw this place on tv and being that it was close to home I thought it would be fun to check it out.

    The neighborhood is horrible.  Was praying my car would be there when I left was on my mind throughout lunch.  

    Now to the food.   I got the cheeseburger which was priced at $6.95 (with tomato , lettuce and raw onion).  The server asked what I wanted on the burger.  I asked for cheddar and with the veggies listed on the menu.  I also got the fries which were $1 and change extra.

    Burger was big, barely any fries came with it.  It was a decent burger.  I was expecting ALOT more due to its tv hype.

    The bill came and my cheeseburger that was 6.95 on menu with cheese and veggies turned into an almost $10 burger.  70 cents for cheddar, and $1 and change for "California style" (which is for onion . tomato and lettuce) .  

    The server never mentioned  that during ordering and its not the issue for the few bucks its the fact that it clearly stated the veggies came with burger and nothing about up charges for cheddar .  

    Just a shady feeling for a server was appeared very sweet and I think was the owners daughter based on pics throughout building.  

    One and done for me.

    I found Rossi's on Burgerland (Travel Channel)  3 words:  EX Cell Ent!  Eating in a 80+ year old establishment is better than visiting a museum...you are in a museum of great American fare and their famous Rossiburger.  You MUST go to Trenton, New Jersey to experience this.
    You will have a MEDIUM burger of approximately 5 ounces.  It will be cooked medium, unless you ask otherwise BUT ORDER IT MEDIUM or else!!  Anything else will ruin it. and Daniel, the waiter will be very upset!!  The burger is not seasoned, so it's up to you and your liking.  GO NOW!!!

    I do not understand why people love these burgers.  They are barely ok, cheap meat with lots of Montreal steak seasoning to mask that fact.  They are big, but whats the point of a huge cheap burger that makes you feel like dying after?
    Its definitely a locals place, and if you are not, they will let you know. Dont get me wrong the people are nice enough.  
    If you are in the area or just want to see what all the buzz is about, go, and get it out of your system.

    Plain and simple..... The best cheeseburger I have had in a very long time. When my order first came out I was nervous about the size of the burger because usually big burgers have less taste. After the first bite I knew I somehow landed in burger heaven. Don't let the neighborhood scare you either. It's not nearly as bad as its reputation. I will be back to not only support an old school Trenton landmark but also to enjoy delicious food and very kind service.

    Rossi's is a throw back place. Family owned business, wood panels and a bit of attitude. While Chambersburg has lost both the DeLorenzo's, Rossi's remains an important part of the community serving up great burgers as well as good Italian food. But the burgers are what to go for. They grind their own beef daily. They cook their hamburgers under a flame broiler. As a result you get great beef flavor, caramelization on the meat. This is a place that will still cook a hamburger rare. So sit at the bar, order a lager, the cheeseburger deluxe and think that you are there to watch Mickey Mantle on television...  For just a second the world will stand still while you bite into the burger.

    Haven't been to Rossi's in many, many years and give them 3 1/2 stars for their food and service yesterday. I should explain that I was with 30 fraternity brothers and our faculty advisor for a holiday lunch. Our ages were all over the map and the place was packed and noisy - not unlike similar gatherings 40 years ago - now we are all legal, however.

    Our advisor was there as well - he has been teaching at TCNJ for over 50 years and was the recipient of many late night phone calls regarding his "boys". Those were the days ...

    Nice menu, great burgers and good waitstaff kept us going for a couple of hours. Entrees and appetizers looked good as well but this was a burger and a beer crowd. Parking could be an issue since this place is on a corner in the "Burg" (Chambersburg) and seems to be doing okay while the area is in transition from a mainstay Italian neighborhood.

    We ate in the dining room but the bar area is fairly large with the usual TVs.

    Definitely will go back for another burger.

    I've been going to Rossi's here and there since I was a kid, but only twice in the last 5 or 6 years. I stopped in for a quick lunch the other day and was very disappointed.  My recollection was that it was much better way back when.

    I ordered a caprese salad and broccoli rabe with hot peppers and sausage. Well, the caprese salad was a horrible flop. White tomatoes should not make it onto a plate. If it isn't red, it isn't ready. I simply don't understand how someone in the food service business would allow that to leave the kitchen. The broccoli rabe was actually delicious, hence the fact that they got two stars instead of one.

    The service was very poor too. I don't think I'll be going back any time soon.

    I think I should add the caveat that I'm really only inspired to write reviews if the place is really good, or, really bad. Maybe, even more inspired if it's really bad. That being said:

    Sitting at the bar usually ensures that you'll get better service; faster drink re-fills, more attentive service, etc. Well, maybe, "usually," but not here.

    *STARVING,* that should ensure that the food tastes better than it normally would.

    I go ahead and order the chicken rice soup as my appatizah. Not really sure how they got the burnt smoky taste in there...My guess is that they burnt the roux--it was really, really, thick, lots of flour.

    There's only one way to get the soup hotter than 212 degrees Fahrenheit-- I know that! The microwave. Made my blood boil!

    Let's bring out the entree, the meatball platter.

    Of course, I ordered it with mozzarella on top. Can we say "parmigiana?"

    Ok, they have to be able to make meatballs, right? I mean it's Chambersburg, the red sauce Italian capital of  NJ. The meatballs were not great (vaguely warm), the red sauce was ok, but the melted mozzarella cheese on top--barely melted.

    How about that microwave that you used on the soup? Then, the cheese would have been melted AND the meatballs would have been hot!

    Or, better yet,  a broiler!?

    My expectations weren't high and the prices are really reasonable.

    Could Rossi's be the reason all of the Italians left Chambersburg?

    Considering I've spent years in and around the Trenton area, I can't believe I had never had one of the burgers here. Situation rectified today meeting up with 3 old friends that also used to spend time in the area back in the day. It was great, no question about it. The burgers are absolutely huge, and delicious.

    The service was friendly and all our meals were served as ordered. I can see where some would find the upcharges for burger toppings a little nickel/dime, but seriously the prices are so low I just don't have a problem with that, at all. Good beer selection and again, reasonably priced. I guess when you're used to Princeton and north pricing, Trenton pricing is warmly welcomed!

    My wife and I go about once a month. Everything I go here to eat, I want to try a different dinner. Salmon, NY Strip Steak, Chicken Parmigiana, Pasta with homemade meatballs. Then the waiter or waitress comes up and.... I ll have a Rossi Burger deluxe with Bacon and Cheese.  Gets me every time. By the way the Burger is $7. Wow. U can't beat it.

    i saw this place on burger land on travel channel. when i realized it was literally minutes from my office, i had to go. the restaurant is unassuming on a random street corner. you walk in and feel like you're in a relative's house, especially when you turn the corner and look into the dining room. i ordered a cheeseburger deluxe (named so because it comes with steak fries or cole slaw) with american cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion - the standard. it was SO good. cooked a perfect medium, juicy, and huge. my coworkers picked up my portion of the tab just for the suggestion. (the prices are really reasonable.) definitely worth checking out.

    I'm not a regular. I do go to Rossi's about twice a year, sit at the bar, and order the cheeseburger deluxe. I've been doing this for 20 years. I've also been an advocate as well as a big fan of Rossis and Chambersburg restaurants. And then there was last night.

    I brought 4 guests - two from Italy - and we required a table as any bar isnt suited to accomodate 5 people. Our server - a grey haired man with an earring - was the rudest, most inept server I've ever encountered. He consistently told us what we should have and refused to provide us what we ordered.

    1) When we sat down we were asked for drinks. We ordered a pitcher of beer; our server insisted on two. Not being big drinkers a pitcher to start would be more than enough.

    2)As he delivered the pitcher of beer he inquired: 'how many appetizers can i bring you?'. We were in the restaurant for a quick burger before heading to the Thunder game. We didnt want appetizers. This request was pushy.

    3)We ordered burgers. I asked for the cheeseburger deluxe which comes with fries. I also asked for mayo twice with my order. I like mayo and I know its not standard which is why I request it multiple times so I dont have to interrupt the server after delivering our food. I never saw the mayo.

    4)When a friend overheard me ask for fries and asked the same for himself the server insisted he order the home made potato chips. My friend relented. This resulted in our table getting a massive plate of chips that no one wanted. I wanted the steak fries, not chips. When I complained the server retorted "fine...i'll bring you fries.' Huh? I ordered fries and not the server's attitude.

    5)Out of 5 burgers only 2 were served as ordered.

    The burgers were tasty as usual and such this review gets 2 stars instead of one. The server was horrible. He should be fired.

    I have eaten hear over the years many times.  When I was younger I would stop in at least once a week for dinner. Back when I was dating my wife we would both enjoy a nice dinner along with a bottle of red.  She loves the mushrooms and hot pepper app that they serve.  They are known for their burgers but I prefer the NY Strip which they serve.  The place is old school with some good beers on draft.  They are also avid Yankee fans.

    I have eaten here several times, the burgers are huge, but I suspect that they taste a bit like burger made of meatloaf mix. I would like it more if they offered blue cheese and bacon, instead of the boring cheddar or american. Steak fries are crispy. Usual line of beers, old world atmosphere, the bar walls have a coating of a billion smokes over the years. They do charge for every little thing, like lettuce and tomato. It is not that bad of a neighborhood during the day, but parking can be challenging.

    Rossi's is a small corner bar that serves HUGE burgers.  Most of my family lives in and around Trenton so we stopped by for the first time over a year ago.  I'm a burger lover and Rossi's was rated high on 610 WIP's burger contest.

    As you walk in its not an impressive place.  It has a few tables covered with checkered table cloths.  You can see in the small kitchen as they make your burger by hand.  This place has a lot of Yankee memorabilia and former all stars from the team used to frequent it.  I personally hate the Yankee's and anything New York so this was the only CON to the place.

    If you want to grab a great burger Rossi's is worth trying.

    Family-run, this place is awesome!  We know everyone there and they know us.  It has been remodeled slightly which makes it great, but still has that old Italian feel.  the burgers are a staple and huge, and the fries are nice and creamy.  a must ahve is the chicken parm platter, and it comes with a salad for only $13 and the 2 peieces of chicken you get are huge!  take it home for sure.  this is the best chicken parm i have ever had and wont eat it anyhwere else.  some other great things to get are the mozz sticks, zucchini sitcks, pesto salad, and veal stew.  their portabella mushroom burger is great as well.  never had a bad meal there and everything comes out piping hot!

    I have been a regular for many years, too many to count. I do not stray from the fantastic burger-rare with a thick slice of raw onion. Don't miss the fried zucchini with marinara for dipping. Top is off with an ice cold Stella, perfect way to kick off the weekend or weekday or .....

    Number of visits: 1 for dinner
    Day: Thursday at 8pm.
    Party size: 8

    I visited the place only once (it's in Trenton, NJ - enough said).  It's what I expected - corner neighborhood bar for the locals.  Reminds me of walking into Tacconelli's for the first time...except with a bar.

    First, I like be an outsider invading local gruberies like this, but it was well worth it.  I had dinner with 7 people.

    Apps ordered/tasted/shared: mozzarella sticks (get it), fried zucchini (get it), broccoli rabe (not worth it, don't get it).  I ordered the burger (medium well) with american cheese, raw onions, tomato, and let.  Tasted great.  It was cheap and fries were a plus.  Beer available - your typical selections at a bar (don't expect your fancy pants beer).

    Worth it for the neighborhood experience* and if you're looking to try every burger in the tri-state area.  

    *JUST KIDDING.

    Enjoy!

    the only negative...server didn't know how to split bill with cash first, and the rest on credit card.  Not sure if lazy or what?

    I've never lost a battle to a burger until I ordered the Rossi burger.  I was fully unprepared for this massive slab of delicious meat.  Hamburger America led me to Rossi's for this famed Rossi burger.

    Cheeseburgers are $6 and can be topped with a bunch of different options.  I was out with Dan.  Mine: Lettuce, Tomato, fried onions and American cheese cooked medium rare.  Dan: Raw onion and American, also medium rare.  The burger comes out on a large white roll, but the bread still can't contain the meat.  As I bit into it, the juices began to flow. It was delicious meat and cooked as I ordered.  Half way though my burger, it was a mess that's falling apart, and I had a big smile on my face.

    We also ordered steak fries and fried zucchini. The fries were standard, and the fried zucchini was a huge order of a surprisingly tasty app.  But we should have skipped these and focused on the burger; it was a lot of food.

    Beer is pretty standard and nothing special. There are five or so taps; Stella, Yeungling, Miller Lite, Bud, Heineken were all represented, if I remember correctly.  $5 for a pint of Stella isn't bad at all.

    Most of the reviews on Yelp for Rossi's are silly.  If you read most of them, most of the write-ups are about soda and topping prices.  If you don't like that, don't get soda.  And even with four or five toppings, the burger prices are still below average.

    The bartender was nice and attentive, and even warned us that the kitchen was going to be closing down early so that we had enough time to get our order in.  He was a fun guy.  This place has a weird, but hometown atmosphere.  

    Bottom Line: The hours of 5-10pm 6 days a week are a downside. This place is still awesome, and completely worth the drive from Philly to try out this burger, which is surely a challenge to finish. I'm looking forward to my next attempt.

    Burger was okay.  My bun was shredded so it was difficult to eat.

    And, I have to echo everyone else on the sodas.  Absolutely ridiculous to charge $3 for a soda and then $3 for a refill.

    Will NOT go back there - ever.

    Major issue: 3.00 sodas and 3.00 refills.  our drink tab cost more than anything else on our bill.  This is not on the menu nor did our waitress inform of us this, which I think is her ethical obligation.

    Minor issue: Burger was "meh. I've experienced better."  Maybe Philly's fantastic burgers have spoiled me.

    Will I be back? Unlikely.

    I enjoyed the burger.  It was massive, juicy, well-seasoned.  The bun was nicely toasted but honestly not that great-tasting.  Fries were worth eating.

    I wanted Diet Coke with my burger.  I tend to drink fast and of course ended up accepting the waitress's offer of a refill.  Major sticker shock when the bill came and my two sodas, at $6.00, cost as much as a basic burger.  This was a huge disappointment after an otherwise fairly enjoyable and quick lunch, because I felt like I'd been taken for a ride.  Lesson learned:  stick to water (or beer!) to avoid the 3000% markup they charge for fountain sodas.

    I have heard people rave about the burgers at this place. So, I went with a few co-workers of mine. The food was good, but not great.

    The burgers are a hefty size, and its pretty inexpensive. Think it cost me about $15.00 for lunch, but I was with a group, so everything costs more.

    When people want to go there now, i usually bail. There are better burgers to be had.

    The ambiance stinks too. Very crowded, and tables are on top of each other. Wait staff was nothing to write home about either.

    To be honest I want to give this place a 5 for the burger and ambiance but a 1 for the unfair menu pricing and gruff service. The 3 falls in the middle so take it for what it is and be warned. THEY UPCHARGE FOR EVERY LAST ITEM ON THE BURGER!

    Ok, now that you know to expect it you won't be as shocked as I was to find that what is advertised in the menu as a $6 (roughly) cheeseburger ends up being $11... The thing is, the menu lists 3 prices: Burger, Cheeseburger, Deluxe. Deluxe being a platter with fries or cole slaw.

    Below the 3 choices are a list of items to put on your burger. Nowhere does it say they will be additional, but they are. The screwy thing is my girlfriend ordered the Cheeseburger with American cheese and on the bill it read Cheeseburger. I orderd the cheeseburger with Cheddar and I was charged for a burger add $.75 Cheddar... I guess I chose the wrong cheese! Whatev, but to charge a quarter for a piece of lettuce, I think it was $.50 for two thin slices of tomato, peppers and onions were like $.75... it all added up. I guess they are making up for giving away a pound of perfectly cooked beef for only $5.

    So here it is:
    The Good: The burgers are a sight to behold. Arrive hungry as there is a lot of it (as well as good fries too) and it comes quick (did someone call ahead?) I also love the corner bar/restaurant vibe but I am a dive bar guy.

    The Bad: The hidden pricing like I mentioned above. Our waitress' attitude was less than welcoming and I never felt she got my order right even after asking me twice. I asked for medium, she looked at me as if I were speaking gibberish and the burger came out Med. Well (a delicious Med. Well I must admit)

    The Ugly: The neighborhood wins this one. I've been hearing for over a year how bad Trenton is, and how bad the 'burg has become, but until now I've yet to see it.  For the first time in a long time I was grateful for full-time 4WD and was fully prepared to use it to run over fools if need be. I don't know what just went down, but 6 cop cars and an ambulance later we turned to park and were greeted with the sight (I got the full version, the gf missed it all) of a guy pissing into the street about 20 feet from Rossi's door.

    In short, despite all the negatives I mentioned I still want to go back. That's worth 3 stars, isn't it?

    Cannot count the times that I have been here through the years, either for a lunch with the bros or a dinner with special ones. Typical Trenton flavor even though the decor reflects a certain baseball team which I do not choose to cheer for!! Needless to say, the burgers are probably the best in the hemisphere if not the world!! Call ahead because the dining times reflect the busy-ness of the season!!...Ciaou!!!

    After a long day, but getting out of school early after a test, nothing says love like a good burger! That being said, I hopped in the car and took a ride over to Trenton to visit the world famous Rossi's Bar & Grill, for what many call the best burger in NJ. I'll say that it has been years since I have been to Rossi's, but Zelda took me there when we first started dating way back when. I remember the burger being fantastic back then, and there is really no excuse that we haven't been back in such a long time. That said, tonight was the night!

    I walked in and grabbed a seat at the bar, and the place looked just as I remembered. Sat down and ordered a beer from John behind the bar, got a menu, and opted for the burger with Swiss cheese, and fried onions, cooked medium.

    It couldn't have been much more than 5 minutes, and out came my burger and fries. The burger looked just as I remembered, but was bigger than I remembered them being.

    Upon cutting it in half to make it easier to eat, the burger was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the Blackberry doesn't do the burger justice, but you get the idea! The onions had very light coloring to them, but were nice and tender, and the swill cheese was melted and oozing all over the place!

    I added a bit of Heinze ketchup to the burger, put some on my plate for my fries, and in I dove! The first bite was heaven, and I had to ask why it has been so long since I have been back to Rossi's. This is just such a good burger! No frills to it whatsoever! Just good meat, and minimal seasoning. If I had to guess, it's just a little bit of salt and pepper. Do you really need to add anything else? Obviously not!

    The meat itself was tender, and had really nice flavor. It was simple, and just down and dirty good. It wasn't greasy in the least, but you can tell there is a little fat in their ground beef to give it that good flavor.

    The Swiss cheese added a nice element, as did the onions. The onions actually had a bit of a sherry taste to them, which I am assuming is from flying on the flat top. All in all, what can I say other than awesome!  $13 for a burger and a Yuengling!  Life is good!

    If you're looking for one of the best burgers in NJ, Rossi's is a must hit! I look forward to comparing this burger to a burger from Boom in Belmar, as well as Barnacle Bill's in Rumson. Stay tuned for the latest and greatest to find the best burger in NJ! For now, Rossi's is in the lead! Cheers!

    That burger is not to be believed. Good food, better prices. Eat at the bar, watch the game, and chat with the old timers--it's like a look back at Trenton's past in there.

    Heard the hype about the great burgers. Took my cousin for lunch the other day. We both ordered medium cheeseburgers, by the time the waitress took the order in the kitchen she was bringing our burgers out. Both burgers were overcooked along with the fries. That night we both were sick with food poisining. I quess for 5.95 you can't expect them to be using quality meat, but at least it should be fresh. By far the worst burger I have ever had. The reputation is over.

    As much as it pains my poor father who loves this place, I have to give one star based on our last experience on Saturday night.  My party of six, including the parents, boyfriend and aunt and uncle entered an EMPTY dining room, literally there was one table in use.  So we told the lovely and extremely friendly waitresses (insert extreme sarcasm) that we were six, and they put two tables together slowly and bada bing it could have been a normal setup....however, the born and bred Trenton lady says "you'll be done by 7 right?"  At this point is was 5:50.  My mom, dumbfounded and reallt cute looked at her watch and said, "yea sure, I guess."  So while my blood starting to boil, I let it go.

    So as we are seated and our drink orders are taken we also ordered two appetizers, really delicious zucchini fritters and poppers (the only highlight of the miserable meal).  Five minutes later, another really extremely friendly and lovely Trenton woman brings out two burgers and says, "American with lettuce".  I proceeded to say, "No, we just ordered appetizers like two minutes ago."  So, in her lovely state, not an apology or oops is muttered but she went back to the kitchen and probably spit on our food.  Five minutes later the apps are brought and not two minutes later here come out burgers (the same burgers she brought out five minutes before).  There is nothing less appealing then ordering appetizers and having your meal brought right after.  The whole point is getting your palette ready, right?  Oh wait, I forgot we had to be done by 7!  My bad lovely waitstaff of Rossi's, my bad.  So being the brat I am I loudly tell my embarrassed boyfriend how much I hate when restaurants do that and how it shows their lack of waitressing skills.  So, we are all munching away on our pretty tasty burgers, yada yada yada and the meal is over.  Surprisingly, lovely waitress asked if we wanted dessert.  My aunt ordered a coffee and uncle a tartufo.  The tartufo came, no coffee.  My family being not very outspoken like I am said nothing.  Oh wait, when she brought the dessert she simultaneously brought the check! wow.  

    So, as everyone is rushing because a clearly more important Trenton friend of the owner is coming in, my dad is examining the bill and WE WERE CARGED FOR EVERYTHING, I MEAN LETTUCE, TOMATOES, CHEESE (understandable for me living in No Libs), RAW ONIONS AND CANNED MUSHROOMS ($1.50) WTF.  So, as my anger was growing increasingly on the surface, my fam was getting nervous and my dad just wanted to get the hell out of there. The old and decrepit menu said nothing about add ons for gross lettuce, tomatoes, onions or nasty mushrooms.  Who the hell do they think they are?  

    So, long story even longer, I effing hate this place and everything about Trenton, except the delicious little pizza place Delorenzos which I would never speak ill of, even if they acted like the trashy Rossi's staff.  They should be ashamed of themselves and I do not care that they have been in business for like 60 years.  Appalling experience and I felt really bad because my dad likes finding these little haunts that he can bring me to.  I even offered to pay him for my share because I complained how much I hated that place so bad.

    Sorry Yelpers for the novel I just wrote but I was never so turned off by a place and even though no one on here will probably go there, it is my duty to let you know that if you don't know the owner, you'll get treated like dog shit.  sigh.

    Completely in agreement, great burgers..

    Perhaps if I had sat at a table and did not witness the bartender giving attitude to a customer there would be 4-stars here.

    Service is HUGE with me, was sad to see that at one of my favorite local burger and beer restaurants.  Oh well, can't win em all.

    been going there my entire life. it's not swanky, it's not pretentious, it's not on zagat's radar, it's not even well known outside of the city. THANK GOD!!!!

    the extended rossi family has been taking care of trenton's families for decades and providing simple, wholesome, and tasty fare for extremely reasonable prices for as long as i can remember. i'm the youngest of 6 kids and this establishment is one of the few places that my parents could take us all out to without getting a 2nd mortgage. i bring my kids there now. it's very family friendly and theres something on the menu for everyone. or, off the menu- ask for a pepper, egg, and provolone sandwich and MANGA!

    i didn't even have to mention the 'burger!

    Rossi's is known for it's burger.  I remember the first time I saw it many many years ago.  It is/was huge.  Seemed like half-a-cow huge.  I haven't had one in a long time but some friends still do get it every once in a while.  I'm not sure, but I think the last time I saw a burger at Cesares nearby, it may have been at least  equal.

    This is usually on the lunch place list for me, but have been to dinner a few times.  You usually get generous portions for dinner at a very reasonable price.  Appetizers such as onion rings, fries and poppers are pretty much your standard fare.  I do tend to like the fried zucchini sticks.  Chicken parmigiana is what I like to try at  most  restaurants and here it's basically average.  Also, the lunch time soup always seems to be pasta fagiole.

    What really stands out to me is the penne' and marinara sauce (sometimes with meatballs, sometimes with mushrooms).  The penne' is cooked/boiled to perfection.  It almost melts in your mouth and accompanied with the marinara sauce, makes for a perfect pasta meal.  There's been no other restaurant I've been too where the penne' has even come close.

    I guess it's sort of medium-size for a corner 'burg restaurant.  There's a bar area and the seating area.  In a full house, you may seem pretty close to the next table over depending on where you are sitting.

    O.K.  A 3/5 rating is good, but not great.  But don't get me wrong -- I love Rossi's.  I truly do.

    To be honest, there is only one item on the menu that I truly love -- the Rossiburger -- but, man, do I love it!  As far as I can tell, this gargantuan sandwich consists of about 1 lb. of meat -- and it's only $4.95!!!  It's so good, most people don't even load it up with extras like cheese or bacon.  For the Trenton area, the Rossiburger is legendary -- and it should be.  If you've never had one -- go there now.  You won't be dissapointed.

    As far as the rest of the menu is concerned, I've never really been that impressed.  So if you don't eat meat, or simply don't like burgers, Rossi's might not be the place for you.

    Also, the place is usually pretty crowded and area parking can sometimes be a mess, so be mindful.

    Here's their website (as of 3/2/06, it appears to be under some construction): <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rossiburger.com%2F&s=5ff3bb946cc6446b5caa499b9647853b52e8d4addd17108d96955a61edb650ba" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.rossiburger.c…</a>
