    Chorizo Mac and Cheese
    Jillian B.

    Solid food in a relaxed environment! My partner and I came after a comedy show in the area and were impressed by the menu - we had trouble choosing!! We both agreed the Mac and cheese was our favorite, albeit a little greasy. Would return to try other bites!

    GET THE DAVID CLUB SANDWICH! Please! I don't even eat meat often! I hate chicken, but this looked so good, so I decided to splurge! The sandwich is stacked and so tasty! The chicken is moist and flavorful! Absolutely devoured my lunch! The service was also spectacular and the perfect lokey spot for a sunny afternoon! Kinda felt like I was in the south if that makes sense! Really loved the vibe and the staff were supper attentive and nice! Highly recommend. My only con was that some of my fries weren't fully cooked, but that is it! Love it!! Will be back!!

    Chicken Milanese
    Mark W.

    Every time before last night I had been to New York City, I've only ever had my visits in Manhattan. This was my first time in Brooklyn. I had come to the city to go to a stop on the Light Places Tour as I had purchased a ticket well before the event. I was already checked in to The Bogart at LuxUrban (did they ever get a Yelp page added yet?) and before I went to go dance my brains off, I needed something for dinner. This dinner was one of the last things I had worked out a plan for for the visit and only managed to reserve a 7 pm table on the morning of on Google. Out of towners such as myself wouldn't just be able to know about this place like 80 years beforehand, but I'm glad I had found this. It serves New American and Mexican food alike, but its look is unmistakably Mexican. Red walls and the decor really sell the look and it pulls it off SUPER well! Everything was easy to find, so you for example didn't have to go on a 90-minute manhunt just to get to the bathroom. The food you see in these 2 photos was my order. It was my first time having Esquite, and the Chicken Milanese smelled great upon arrival. Everything I had in that order was delicious and I definitely recommend this place if you are in Brooklyn and are in the mood for Mexican food! Seriously, the Esquite especially was heavenly! The service was also really good. Was seated pretty right away even though I was about 20 minutes early, and I was already eating by the time my reservation was actually supposed to begin. Waiter was nice and even checked in every so often to see how I liked the food. I even got to watch a good portion of Spider-Man: No Way Home on their TV to my side as I ate which was a nice touch. Rock on Leslie's!

    Crispy Taquitos
    Samantha S.

    Solid restaurant! Good service. I vaguely remembered coming here for a burger with a pal a few months ago and returned yesterday for a light meal with another friend. Upon inspection of the menu, we were both happy to note the range of items (and portion sizes) listed. Being a tad peckish despite a late breakfast, I ordered the taquitos, which came in two pieces, plated with lettuce, radish, sauce, and cheese. My friend, meanwhile, ordered the French onion soup, which came in a large portion with cheesy bread on the side. She ate some and took the rest home due to a toothache caused by a dentist appointment earlier in the day. I polished off the taquitos. The total for our food was around $20, a great feat for a sit down lunch these days.

    David's Club Sandwich
    Bre Y.

    Ordered from here for the first time today, after scrolling past on seamless for so long. Boy, do I regret not ordering previously! I had the Club sandwich, grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, (crispy!) bacon, avocado, and chipotle ailoi (which I subbed for mayo, personal preference). Sandwich was huge, had a great ratio of meat to toppings, and was delicious! Also so thick I could barely bite into it! Their fries came still hot and crispy, some of the best fries in the area, truly. Crispy without being super thin shoestring type, a fine line to walk! Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    The deliciousness
    Nina C.

    I ordered from this restaurant while working and I would like to start with the packaging quality. My entrée was wrapped in plastic, which was perfect because the food arrived hot as if it was fresh out the kitchen. Now, on to the food. The mashed potatoes are beyond amazing, the veggies were cooked perfectly, and the chicken was so flavorful that I forgot I had sauce to add on top. I need to emphasize how amazing the mashed potatoes were one more time. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to order again.

    Nachos w steak!
    Ina N.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Bushwick. Their nachos are AMAZING. Portions are generous, ingredients are well ratio-ed. also recommend their burritos & leslie's burger!

    Sweet potato fries
    Rebecca S.

    Grabbed Brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries for takeout for the road and honestly, some of the best Brussels I've had in a while! Brought them over to a friends house for dinner and everyone loved em. Delicious, great flavor and service was super quick. Will definitely stop by again

    Sweet and Sour Hot Chicken Wings
    Chernel H.

    This place is in walking distance from our place so I figured to give it a day. Walked over a little before 7pm on a Friday night and was seated right away. We decided to try the sweet and sour chicken wings, carnitas burrito and chorizo Mac and cheese. Everything came quickly and pretty good. The servers are very attentive and nice. Would really recommend. Might try the brunch next time around!

I believe it's been there for 56 years. The side I walked in you had a huge counter with the menus above. I'm not sure what they are famous for but burgers, roast beef, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches and more. I had the cheeseburger and fries which are baked like chips. Awesome touch. The orangede was delicious too. We also got a free pizza with our order, which I believe was from spending a certain amount. Seating is right behind the counters and they had tables and old school booths for the tables. Great spot and I can see why they've been around for so long.

Both restaurants have been in business for well over half a century with well-deserved accolades. Despite having grown up in Brooklyn, I hadn't been to either before this year. I read reviews and actually asked ChatGPT what to order at R-N-R. We went with its suggestion: medium roast beef with cheese, onion rings, root beer and lemonade. My sandwich was more well-done than requested. They don't offer 'rare'. The few bites with red meat were infinitely better than the rest of the sandwich. The roll, as everyone points out, is baked in house. Though light and puffy, it didn't outweigh overdone beef. Onion rings were great, root beer average, and lemonade -- per my husband who loves lemonade -- excellent. While I wouldn't balk about returning, my vote goes to Brennan and Carr, though truly, when cooked as requested there is no substantial difference. If you take the train, get off at Sheepshead Bay Road and head south. Turn left at Emmons Avenue and keep walking. Twenty minutes all told.

    Fast service and it's really easy to order through their website since customization is seamless…read more Restaurant itself is small, has a very small dispenser of condiments packets, and I'm not a fan of the rough napkins lol. 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.

Considering the height of the table, they were the perfect height. I like the music that was being played. The music wasn't too loud or too low. 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. They make amazing sides, I typically go for the onion rings and corn fritters which are tasty, fried nugget of sweet corn and they are delicious.

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.

Luckily, I was by myself, which gave me some wiggle room to grab a seat at the bar. The seating was quite tight, and I was sandwiched between two other people; however, I knew I was lucky just to get a seat. Once I sat down, I was quickly served water. I already knew I wanted the double cheeseburger with bacon and egg, so it didn't take me long to place my order. I definitely enjoyed sitting at the bar because the restaurant has an open-kitchen concept. You can watch the chefs prepare the food, which is always enjoyable for me. The burger itself was definitely an experience! It was beautifully presented, and everything was cooked to perfection. Honorable mention goes to the pepper on the thick-cut bacon- it added a nice savory kick to the burger. I had really been looking forward to trying it because I recently passed by Au Cheval in Chicago, but the wait was extremely long, so I didn't get the chance to go. This burger was definitely good. It's not at the top of my list, but it was worth the experience. I must say, it's also extremely high-end price-wise. For just the burger with bacon and egg, plus tax and tip, I paid about $47. Again, it was a treat, but not necessarily one I'd order again. I'd love to try some of the city's other standout burgers before returning for this one. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Would I return? Sure, but I would probably try something other than the burger next time.
