    Grilled Shrimp w/ Side-Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    Catherine S.

    Noticed this place while I was at a stoplight and added it to my list to return. First thing, from the outside it's unassuming but once you entered it has a beautiful decor.Faux flowers & grass walls as well as straw decor hanging from the ceiling and lanterns. Also, green celebrity bar stools that give the place a feminine touch. We were the only couple in the restaurant so we were serviced, but I would say she wasnt able to explain some of the dishes and had to refer to the kitchen for explanations. But the food was delicious. We thought the wings were undercooked and they quickly rectified it. Everything tasted delicious. I would go back and recommend.

    Garlic mash Garlic Mashed Potatoes and BBQ Pork Ribs - Full Rack

    I saw this restaurant on my stroll through the neighborhood on a Sunday evening and decided to stop in. Atmosphere: Intimate small but cozy, nicely decorated with splash of island vibe. The music was 90's R&B which was perfect for the vibes. Drinks: I had the Liar which is Hennessy and grand mariner topped with ginger. This drink is really good and hits. I also had the pineapple ginger lemonade which was really good. It's was a perfect mixup with a delightful taste! Food: I had the garlic mash potatoes and full rack of pork ribs. Everything comes really hot and sizzling. The garlic mash was great, freshly made and perfectly textured. The pork ribs oh my goodness, so soft and falls right off the bone and glazed with the right amount of homemade bbq sauce. The portions is big enough that I'm taking the other half of ribs and garlic mash for lunch tomorrow lol. Service: The service was really good. The waitress was very attentive, provided check-ins, gave recommendations, and always had a smile on her face. Overall: I will return to try other items on the food and cocktail menu.

    Sometimes, you just want BBQ. Well, look here...a BBQ spot on Nostrand Ave. So why not try it. My friend and I went to pick up food b/c I just didn't have the energy to be out after traveling for 2 days. I got the beef rib and potato salad. The rib was flavorful and falling off the bone. The potato salad was a little on the sweet side. My friend said that's how people in the Caribbean make it. I had to doctor it up to make it more southern. All I was missing was the egg...lol. But overall, good! My friend had the rack of pork ribs w garlic mash potatoes. She was satisfied! Saved the other half for a snack lol. The staff was super sweet when taking the to go order. We actually got a drink while waiting for the food. The pineapple ginger lemonade was sooooo good. I will come back to actually dine in. It's cute inside. I'm sure the good would be even better.

    Let me start off by saying if you come here get the mussels in the white wine sauce and also the pork ribs , you will not be disappointed! The ribs fell off the bone and were seasoned and cooked perfectly. We also had the lamb chops which were also tender and seasoned well. I was told the mashed potatoes were tasty but needed a little more salt. We tried the Mac and cheese, it was okay but needed a little salt as well. The pineapple ginger lemonade was really good. The ginger wasn't overpowering at all! Our waiter was very kind and kept a smile on her face. Service was really good in my opinion. Music: soca and calypso played at a very reasonable level. Environment: it's small and intimate but the decor is gorgeous! Parking: street parking is available. I would come back for the mussels and to try a new dish.

    Went here for happy hour on a Friday. The ambiance is nice the customer service was good. One drink tasted like juice and the other you can tell had alcohol in it I don't think it was mixed equally well. the overall taste of the guava coconut was pretty good. I also wish that they had a happy hour menu because there was no prices of anything to refer by and our waitress just told us the drinks tht were happy hour and didn't tell us the price until we got the bill (which wasn't happy hour price it was $12 while she stated other margaritas are $7. i do wish she told us that prior but its okay). i think it would be better if they had a menu and also had food on the happy hour menu as well. I will go back again and try their food next time

    I stopped by Brooklyn Burgers & Beer during a work trip to quell a burger craving. Menu looked…read morepromising but unfortunately it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. 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.

My friend was as turned off as me due to what happened (read my previous review) and he headed for the proverbial "Hills". This left me solo and hungry. I started walking northwest knowing I'd find something pretty good. Low and behold Brooklyn Burger and Beer looked like just what I wanted, so I walked in, grabbed a stool at the bar and jumped into their menu. What a difference a 1/2 mile makes! This place was perfect and its menu was choke full of bargains and bonuses. This place was cute; I mean the bar was front and center and was very impressive but the table seating was charming too. Their lunch menu has a great "build your on burger" which i had a blast doing: Burger Cheddar Cheese Bacon Grilled onions Lettuce Tomato Mayo / BBQ con The service was exceptional, the ambience was very "Taverny [sic]" and my lunch was delicious!

    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.

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.

We decided 7th Street Burger and it looked good enough for me. Here's where it gets "Sticky (literally)": You probably can't think of a much dirtier place than an airport, subway, public restroom or playground; especially if you going to go to a restaurant where you'll be using your hands to pick up a hamburger, or dipping your French fries in ketchup. So, I arrived first at 7th Street and I asked the cashier where is your restroom where I can tidy up (basically meaning disinfecting my hands). She said we do not have anyplace for that. I thought "What The Hell"!!!!!!! Now, I'm not an O.C.D. guy; but not washing my hands, after touching every rail a subway system has was not going to allow me to eat this lunch with filthy - dirty contaminated hands. I pivoted, walked out and went to a place that had hot water, soap and a hand dryer. Shame On You 7th Street Burger for not having the insight and perception to take steps in good hygiene for your customers! Unforgivable!!!!!

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.

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.
