Choosing a burger in Hoboken: four checks before you order
A search for burgers gives you a long list and no way to settle it. These four checks use only the menu page, the hours and what guests wrote.
Searching for the best burger Hoboken has to offer turns up a long list, and no search page can settle it for you. Four checks work better than a ranking: what is on the patty, what it costs, when you can eat it and how you get it. Here is each one for the four burgers at Uncle Rocco, 112 Willow Ave.
Check 1: the patty and the bun
Every burger on the menu is grass-fed. The Smash Burger and the Big J Burger are listed as wagyu, and the Rocco Burger is grass-fed 100% beef. The Smash Burger is one patty with onions, American cheese and pickles on a sesame seed bun, and the Big J doubles the beef and adds fancy sauce and tomatoes. The Bread Pudding Smash pairs a 3 oz smashed burger with the baby bread pudding, topped with caramel. Our wagyu burger guide goes through which is which. If gluten matters, the Big J is the one whose ordering page lists a gluten-free roll, and the gluten-free burger guide covers how to order it.
Check 2: the price
On the menu page as of November 11, 2026, the Smash Burger is $12.00, the Bread Pudding Smash is $16.00, and the Big J Burger and the Rocco Burger are $19.00 each. That puts the Smash Burger $7.00 under the Big J. The menu names fries only in the Smash Burger's description, and French Fries are $6.00 on the sides list, so check what comes with the burger you pick when you order.
The price also depends on where you order. On September 21, 2026 the Big J was $19.00 on our ordering page and $21.85 on DoorDash.
Check 3: when you can eat it
The kitchen opens at 9 AM every day, and the burgers are on for every service, alongside the brunch board. Monday to Thursday the dining room runs 9 AM to 1 PM and 5 to 9 PM, so a weekday burger is a morning order or a dinner one. Friday and Saturday run 9 AM to 10 PM, and Sunday 9 AM to 8 PM.
Check 4: how you get it
You can sit down, with online booking on Resy taking parties of up to six, or order for pickup or delivery. Orders placed on our own ordering page go out with the restaurant's own drivers, and first-time guests get $6 off an order of $30 or more. The takeout and delivery guide covers ordering direct in more detail.
What guests wrote
Natalie Allgyer's Google review is about a table of eight: “Most of us went for the smash burger, and it was absolutely delicious!” Lauryn Donnelly wrote “Best smash burger I’ve had in a really long time.” Those are their words as written, and they are not a ranking. Our smash burger Hoboken guide compares the three smashed burgers, and the burgers page has all four with photos.
