Came here for a weekday lunch. It seems more like a bar with a restaurant than a restaurant with a bar. There's no hostess and not many tables and you have to walk through the bar and self-seat. The menu has a nice selection of appetizers, sandwiches and salads. You pick your toppings for each sandwich, which I liked. I had a filet mignon sandwich with can't-pass-up parmesan fries. The restaurant area is decorated with art from local artists, but the wall behind had a series of photos of women in just body paint, so you probably want to make sure you're with people who are ok with this avant garde style.

this place gets great reviews and has a large following-my god I don't know why-i tried eating there twice to be sure-prices were ok but food was terrible-i had eggplant parmigiana platter with roasted potatoes and string beans-and an antipasto salad-the eggplant p platter was nothing but eggplant pieces like you buy at s/r supermkt-put in a pan-a dash of sauce and sprinkled parmesan-it was not layered little sauce-the worst I have ever had-the roasted potatoes had no flavor-dark almost blackish color almost afraid to eat them-the antipasto salad was fair but stingy on the meat-i will just pay a little bit more and eat elsewhere-my son had a California hamburger it was ok but the sweet potato fries were so limp if you held it in the middle both ends would hang straight down-somebody please please tell me why they go there-there has to be a reason??????

Checkers is one of my favorite lunch spots in Trenton. They have the best veggie burger I have ever tasted! The beef burgers & turkey burgers are awesome also. The service is super-fast and friendly. They have the system down. Iâve never witnessed a restaurant run with such efficiency. Definitely one of Trenton best restaurants. Great prices also!

My family and I were at an event at the Trenton War Memorial and stumbled along this place. It is more bar than restaurant as there are only 5-6 tables available. The service was fantastic as Yolanda was personable and gave great food recommendations. They have a full bar. I ordered Ribs and pulled pork platter with cole slaw and baked beans as sides. The ribs were very tasty and had lots of meat on the bone. The pulled pork was average. The cole slaw was homemade and out of this world as was the baked beans. Other people ordered the boneless wings (harlem style) which were excellent as well as the brisket sandwich which they raved about. The side of candied yams were amazing. At the hour of 19:11 everyday they give out free shots to all patrons. We were fortunate enough to be there at this timeframe and they did a bar wide toast which was fun. I am not sure what I drank but it was sweet and good. You can also order the C Rock Special which is $1.15 for one rib and a sip of soda (I'm gonna get you sucka move fans would understand). The neighborhood is a little shady, if in the area I would definitely go back again. Luckily, I have a client that is around the corner and I will come back for more.

This noisy restaurant specializes in burgers the plates are constantly greasy looking as if they were not washed properly. They provide a rewards program and free bottomless sides. Otherwise, this place is an average restaurant that has spotty service. I only frequent it when in a hurry because it is close to my home. For the price, you can get a better burger elsewhere.

Local Irish pub with the best wings and burgers around. We stop for a quick bite on our way home on a week night. We had heard good things about this place and we were not disappointed. Simple menu with great tasting food. We order wings to share and they were some of the best we ever had. The burgers were delicious and big. Can't wait to come back.

I have coming to Rossi's for years, going back to the old days in the Burg. Nothing much has changed except the current spot in Hamilton is much nicer. The food is still very good --- the Rossiburger is still the biggest and the best around. I like mine rare with Swiss and Grilled Onions and Mushrooms. Perfect. For a nice change I often go with a Chicken Parm Sandwich. And, of course, who doesn't like the Zucchini Sticks. Wash it all down with a Stella. Hmmm. Call me crazy, but I love their salads too.And big-time props for the wait staff who are always friendly and helpful. Thank you, We are so happy to know you enjoyed your experience and really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a 5 star review. It's the great customers like you that make this place so special. Thank you for your business we hope to see you again soon.

My husband and I recently returned to this restaurant after about a year or so. We were impressed then but no longer. The menu is less interesting, more pizza than sandwiches. The house salad that came with my waffle grilled cheese sandwich was very wilted and the dressing had been sitting out. The waffle grilled cheese sandwich was very disappointing, fairly tasteless, soggy waffles. No reason to ret,frankly.
