    Amazing service! My waitress asked the chefs to split our portions into 2 instead of having us cut and resize the portions ourselves - super helpful. Calamari was amazing and the complementary bread was good. The focaccia came with a vodka-like sauce. My burger wasn't bad- it satisfied my cravings and it was paired with fries. I got the squid ink tortellini and the dough was a bit hard unfortunately

    Very good service and delicious food. The rigatoni was flavorful and the burger was juicy and delicious. The fries were nostalgic in flavor and crispy.

    It gets the job done. This restaurant is in the heart of Bay Ridge, and it is hard to miss. It is usually packed, especially at night or on the weekend. The menu is extensive, and the outdoor seating is visually inviting as much as the inside. That was what hooked me into stepping in. I ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees, which took forever to come out. It was not a particularly busy time for the restaurant,t as I was probably the 3rd customer seated. The food did come out smelling wonderful and presentable. The appetizers, consisting of the calamari and wings, were a smash. It was amazingly fried and fresh-tasting. No complaints. The entrees were definitely disappointing. The breakfast dish consisting of eggs, sliced avocado, and bacon tasted as it should. Nothing outstanding and nothing bad. The pizza, however, was absolutely dreadful. It was very small, top-loaded with greasy cheese to the point that when you pick up the poorly cut slice, everything will fall off. It honestly tasted like the children's Lunchable pizza box set. The Cebu burger was uninspiring. It was a plain-tasting burger. A burger your uncle can make at a backyard BBQ. For $25.00, I am running to Shake Shack and getting myself 3 burgers. Overall, it was okay. The food gets the job done, and I would suggest coming here for a social event rather than impressing a foodie.

    Stopped in on a Saturday around 1:45pm. Seated right away in the back room. Our server was Tommy who was welcoming and friendly. We ordered the steak sandwich and fish tacos. Both were very good. We weren't in the mood for brunch--but the brunch menu looked so good. Fries were probably my favorite. Delish. I'll be back to try the brunch menu for sure.

    I stumbled upon Cebu in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and it was a total delight! We ordered the brussel sprout salad (which initially got swapped with a kale salad), cheeseburger with sweet potato fries (which came with regular fries), and two diet cokes. BUT - our amazing waitress, Daniella, was on it! She quickly fixed the mistake, let us keep the kale salad and regular fries (which were actually pretty tasty!), and even treated us to an incredible carrot cake. Speaking of which - that carrot cake though! One of the best I've had, and I'd love to know where it's from. If anyone knows, let me know! Daniella's top-notch service made up for the kitchen's oops, and we'd totally go back for her (and that carrot cake). Cebu - will be back for sure!

    Broccoli - again, the picture doesn't do it justice. The flavors are ‍

    I have a love|hate relationship with this place. I've been here for private birthday parties, branches, dinner and sitting at the bar. I'll be honest - the private parties have always been a great time. The other times have been misses to a certain extent. However, I've lately stopped by later in the evening as Cebu is on my way home - the latest visit was actually pretty good. I had a margarita and broccoli that to my pleasant shock, tasted like Brussels sprouts (IYKYK). I will definitely come back for the broccoli and 'rita!

    Eggs Benedict

    Burnt English muffin, flavorless hollandaise sauce, and a 40+ minute wait for eggs Benedict and French toast. That is ridiculous for basic brunch food. The eggs Benedict tasted bland and the burnt bread made it worse. The staff was fine, but the kitchen timing and food quality seriously need work.

Let's start with the good - the service and ambiance were on point. I went on a Sunday evening around 7pm. It was busy inside, but since I was a solo diner I was seated immediately by the bar. The servers were friendly and attentive. Probably 3-4 different people checked in multiple times throughout the meal. Where I struggle is with the actual burger itself. As a non-resident New Yorker, for me $22.50 is a lot to spend on a burger and fries. It needs to rock my world at that price point. And it just didn't. I got the B&B Burger. The onion ring tasted like it had been refried a second time to make my burger. The bread was crumbly like it was on the verge of going stale. The actual beef patty itself was decent - good flavor. Usually I can overlook an okay burger if the fries are top notch, but these fries were under-seasoned and also 'just okay'. I also got a side of Chicken Tenders. These were good - no complaints here. I really wanted to like this spot, but not sure this would be a return visit for me.

    We loved the food…read more Came here on a saturday for lunch before the world cup. We arrived just when it opened I think. The place was pretty quiet. Friendly waitress greeted us and sat us immediately. Menu's came out and they recommended a pizza and burger. We agreed and ordered. Place started to pick up and get busy immediately after we ordered. Food came out pretty quickly. We each had a burger. Not a lot of options on the menu but we all tried the emily burger. It was worth it. Think, juicy and with an amazingly unique taste. The ingredients were high quality, the burger cooked to perfection. The table also split the modern pizza (I think). Not sure what to expect from this one but turns out it was perfect, unique and delicious. The cheese taste really shined through. Overall, we were super happy with the food here. Stop by if you have a chance.

    Greetings all, it's been a while but here I am. Let's talk about Emily a quant pizza restaurant…read morethat you could easily walk pass and not know what they sold. Today however it wasn't pizza that brought me here, it was the famous Emmy Burger. To begin with the atmosphere of the restaurant is dim lighting a few tables with a reasonable sized bar in the middle of the room. They also have an open kitchen concept where just past the bar you can see the cooks working. My server Inda was polite and knowledgeable about the menu. My burger was excellent, normally I don't eat my burger with a knife and folk, but in this case with all the cheese and sauce oozing down the sides, not to mention the caramelized onions, it was necessary. (If I were home I wouldn't mind having burger juices running down my arm, but other people were eating in the restaurant also). The tiny pickles which I can't remember the name of were an added treat to the burger. I decided to order mine with the loaded fries. Just imagine the ground burger with all the toppings covering french fries and add melted white cheese. Since I was alone I didn't order a pizza because how would I eat it all, but next time I will try the pizza. I don't mind paying extra for a burger when it's aged beef and the taste is great. I definitely recommend this location. There is a fast food burger restaurant next door to Emily's but I can't imagine there burgers compare. I will try them another time and let you know. That's all for now, see you on my next review.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 10 Overall: 8 I rarely update my reviews, but this place needs to be recognized as the Brooklyn institution that it is. They say some things age like fine wine, and I believe this restaurant falls in that category. After 55 years, this family oriented fast food shop known for its famous roast beef sandwich and other popular greasy goodness is still standing. I swung by recently for my usuals and glad to report that everything still tasted the same, just slightly more pricey year after year as expected. My regular order has always been the Roast Beef w/ Cheese, which was maybe $4 when I first tasted it over 25 years ago. It is now $9.45 or $.50 less for no cheese. Regardless, the roast beef (medium) is still tender and juicy, piled on top of a soft and pillowy, freshly made bread that's been dunked in a bath of delicious beef gravy. The ooey gooey cheese makes it complete for me. Everything else is solid. Nothing fantastic or worth driving out of your way for. Don't come here looking for the best version of everything on the menu. However, if in the neighborhood, this place is an inexpensive experience that brings you back in time, when the world was less complicated and a night out with family meant a delicious trip to a local restaurant like Roll-N-Roaster. Enjoy it for what it is and you'll have a good time.

Driving through Brooklyn and stopped for the first time in prob. 10 years, and it was the same quality, portion and taste as I remembered. I'm not even a big roast beef fan but it is just so good here, and their fries are legendery, too. Their iced tea and lemonade is also memorable, in a good way. We spent enough ($50) to get a free pizza and that too was tasty - thin crust. Can't wait to stop by again in another few years. It's worth the stop.

I ordered: * Truffle Maker ($11.59) * Truffle Parmesan Fries ($6.50) * Chicken Bites with BBQ sauce ($8.05) * Large Yuzu Honey Lemonade ($4.00) Truffle maker was pretty good and I was glad I was able to remove the caramelized onions and truffle aioli (I'm picky). The bun is soft and sweet and the burger has a good amount of sautéed mushrooms. Truffle Parmesan fries were pretty standard, but still very good. Yuzu honey lemonade has bits of citrus at the bottom of the drink and it was refreshing. I saved the chicken bites hours later and it was still pretty crispy after being microwave. Texture was reminiscent of Taiwanese popcorn chicken, nicely seasoned. Overall had a pleasant experience, I definitely want to return and try the rest of their menu.

I was able to make conversation without the music being overwhelming. Service 10/10 This joint has a self-order/self-checkout option, which makes it easier. They also have a restroom. Not all restaurants have restrooms that are made available to customers. That is an A+ in my book. Food 10/10 I ordered Hous Burger (hold the onions. Don't at me) it was pretty good. The taste of their burgers is different from most of the burger places I have tried before. I have also ordered Yuzu Honey Lemonade. I was trying to taste the honey in the lemonade. I guess I was expecting too much. The drink was refreshing. I may try the Matcha Yuzu Lemonade next. I met a gentleman who goes by the name Ten P aka 10pushups on IG. He recommended that I try his cola shake. That is what I got, plus the whipped cream. I was honestly looking for the taste of Coca-Cola because Cola is in the name. Regardless of what I expected, the shake was pretty good. I am not a shake person, so when he asked me to try it, I made an exception. Overall: I plan on coming back to Bun Haus. This was good eats.

The service is impeccable, the wait staff is well versed in the menu and will offer help if you don't know how to truly get the best sandwich that you can. The star here is the roast beef sandwich, it's moist and flavorful and cooked absolutely perfectly. My suggestion is to order it with cheese and have it dunked in the au jus. I prefer what they call a "knife and fork job" where the sandwich, the meat the bread is all dunked and comes out in a river of au jus.

Curious about the "famous" Brooklyn roast beef war -- yeah! it's a thing! -- T and I decided to see for ourselves. (Once I try the competition I'll weigh in with my vote.) With a reputation built on beef we ignored other options and researched how to order. You can get double dip, "dingle-dangle" (don't ask), cheese/no cheese ... it was confusing. We both went with rare roast beef, cheese and onions. T asked for his double-dipped in gravy. Yum! Short of five stars, but yum nonetheless. We ordered two unhealthy sides which added to the decadence of our lunch: corn fritters and onion rings. If you only get one, go with the fritters. The place is busy. You'll likely have to wait a bit -- but I found it interesting to watch the guys at the counter work. Service was friendly and attentive. Unlike someone's comment about paying blind -- not so. We were given a check with an accurate breakdown of what we ordered. Prices are posted. And yes -- cash only.
