    HUNG UP ON ME WHILE LAUGHING!
    Rich M.

    I have been ordering from this establishment for quite a while, with no problems! Unfortunately, today was a NIGHTMARE! I placed a delivery and the entire order was Incorrect! I called and requested the correct order and was told to wait until they deliver me a new order. After waiting for 30 minutes, I decided to call to see the status! The women on the phone hung up on me twice as soon as I requested the status while laughing! The driver finally arrives with the food but is missing the fries and drink. When I called to let them know, a very angry man answers. He stated he was "too busy to talk and has 40 orders" and hung up! I have been ordering for years and I am actually happy to know I will never be supporting this establishment again!

    Retro Burger French Fries

    I wish I could give this spot more than five stars! The food, service, and atmosphere are all a 100/10. I am surprised that they do not have more customers with their delicious food. It is worth the price; in fact, it is worth more. Everything is fresh, from the meat to the vegetables in the burger, which taste like they have been just plucked from a garden. The bun is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The meat has an unimaginable level of flavor since it is grilled on open flame, instead of a griddle, and makes you want to keep taking another bite. The burgers are big and the sliders are a perfect size. Their chicken tenders are fresh and juicy. I would recommend the avocado chicken wrap. Actually, I would like to recommend everything on their menu. There are large portion sizes, all for just the right price.

    Why are you advertising a salad with lettuce and not give?
    Jessica L.

    I'm writing this as the issue is happening. I place an order online for lunch at work. I order a steak salad which as the pic I have provided is described as 'Grilled slices of prime beef on a bed of lettuce'. $18. Worse than midtown prices (I've worked in midtown and still only spent $15). Mind you this is going on just as it's ok to eat certain kinds of romaine lettuce. I, along with a few of my co workers place my order and their meal comes with lettuce. Mine is with all the veggies I ordered my salad with, plus the steak. NO LETTUCE. WHO ORDERS A SALAD WITHOUT LETTUCE. IT ISNT A SALAD THEN. I DID NOT order a $18 salad - $22 with tax and tip for no lettuce. It looks like I'm making a stir fry. I called them right away - they told me they do not serve lettuce to kill people. Um what? Then PLEASE call me with the number I provided when I placed the order to tell me you do not have lettuce and do I want a substitute.....??? I'm not spending $22 for stir fry lol ... Lettuce just came. Honestly - salad is not that bad. Would i order again? no. Def not worth $18. Worse than Midtown... And why advertise a salad with lettuce if you dont provide. You just contradicted yourself Retro... NEVER again.

    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.

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.

After a short wait, we were sat downstairs and able to order. The mornay fries were so delicious we ended up ordering a second one, while the burger was also delicious. The second visit, we waited ~30 minutes (not bad for a walk-in on a Friday night) and we were sat upstairs. Additional to the burger and mornay fries, we got the chicken sliders and a malted ice cream. The fries were unfortunately a bit overdone and hard, and after expressing our disappointment to the waiter(since it was our favorite dish our previous visit), the amazing manager came by and remedied the situation well! The malted ice cream was also delicious! I would definitely come again.

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.
