Solid shake shack location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came on a friday night and it wasn't too busy (though there were a lot of pickup orders).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was very friendly and vibing, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there is plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got a to go order, and everything was packaged well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also right next to some outdoor tables and fairy lights, which may be nice when the weather is warmer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Fries
Tokunbo Aka TJ J.

Very disappointed with the fries! Shared with a friend to eat with our sandwiches and we were both disappointed after seeing and tasting the fries. They were not fresh and the picture speaks for itself. I called the store and it had a busy signal all the time, 718-307-7599. Please do better!

Fried pickles were eh
Val L.

Ordered in the store, not beforehand for pickup. No reason for my burger to be cold when I got it. Fried pickles weren't great either. Quite disappointing when you're craving a shroom burger.

Dreamsicle shake and smokeshack burger
Joannie B.

Came here for lunch while on break from jury duty. I have a craving for a milkshake, and after searching online all night, I opted for this location because I knew I would be here and have seen it before. I never really cared for shake shack when it popped up on the scene, but I finally wanted to see what the hype was all about. This location downtown Brooklyn is pretty busy. I walked in almost around 1 p.m., and it immediately got full. I proceeded to the kiosk to order, and it was quick. They have the traditional ordering boards in front so you can see what you want to order beforehand. Didn't take too long for my order, maybe 6-10min. I sat at the back; there are plenty of space and available seats, which is good. Condiments and napkins are on the side by the front. Customer service is good and quick. Very clean. I ordered the dreamsickle shake, which is limited time, and the single smokeshack burger. I chose not to get fries because it was a separate charge and not included with the burger. The dreamsickle shake is just eghh; nothing to rave about. It didn't taste neither good nor bad. I thought it was going to have a more orange-y taste, but it just tastes like vanilla ice cream - very disappointed. The smokeshack burger came with bacon and agian it was just eghhhh ok; nothing to rave about. Neither good nor bad. No distinctive flavors, just regular. I was really hoping that it was going to be this great tasting burger full of bursting flavor and i was going to put my money where my mouth is but, I wished I would've spent my $17 at burger king enjoying am impossible whopper that comes with fries and drink. So, in the end, I was right all along. The hype is Just That!. But if you want lunch, visit there and try for yourself. But the single doesn't really fill you up, though maybe if you get a double stack.

Team should not be sending up burgers that look like they were thrown together in a rush .[[HIGHLIGHT]]Especially since the store was practically empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been to this location roughly 3 times and unfortunately it's always been a disappointment. Sorry definitely not a fan of this chain

Korean BBQ Meal w/korean BBQ cheesy fries. Hot dog Chicken bites Double korean BBQ burger
Paul K.

The meal was good, the service was better. I was a little disappointed in the lack of Korean flavors. It was seasoned well, but nothing about that burger tasted korean. The sauce that comes with the fries, the korean BBQ sauce tasted like a sesame, fermented soy mayo. Anways I enjoyed the meal didn't deserve a 3 star so I think the 4 star is the way to go. It wasn't busy on a Saturday for lunch (1:30pm-2pm)

Bacon cheese fries and regular fries
Maggie B.

I love Shake Shack's 'Shroom Burger. The batter-fried mushroom stuffed with cheese provides a great alternative to a veggie burger. Sometimes the mushroom is a bit tough to bite through, but it's very tasty. I usually add avocado and cherry peppers for some extra texture and flavor. Both their regular fries and cheese fries are also great. Crinkle cut and super crispy with just the right amount of salt. This particular location feels like a greenhouse with floor to ceiling windows and lots of natural light.

I don't know how they manage to improve on burger and fries, but they do! Superior 'fast' food, and with gluten-free buns if you need them.

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.

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.

Ambiance 10/10 When I walked in, the restaurant's color…read morescheme made me feel drawn in. The stools weren't too high or too low. 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.
