    Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich, Animal Style Fries
    Raia S.

    I've been here a couple of times, once for the burger a while ago, and recently for the chicken sandwich. It is nice that it's part of the bar and you can get real food while you're out, and I do remember enjoying the burger. But the chicken sandwich was just strange in all the wrong ways. I'm a fan of cilantro, but there was wayyy too much and I looked a little silly piling up my herbs on my tray in the bar. My friend hates cilantro and had to pick off all of it. I just didn't enjoy eating this sandwich, I didn't think the chicken was seasoned well and it was exploding out of the bun in the wrong way, the slaw and sauce didn't complement the other flavors in the sandwich. We did really like the animal style fries, which I've gotten before, nice and crispy and with that delish queso. I never got why the onions were on there but still enjoyed. I'd stick with the burger, but honestly there are better ones out there. It's only useful if you're hanging at the bar and feeling peckish. Maybe just get fries.

    we were in the mood for burgers after a jazz show on vday and this was the closest place nearby. i have to say, the food was PHENOMENAL. i'm absolutely obsessed with the animal style fries. the server at the window was the sweetest and the music was bumping. i can't wait to come back!

    I came here due to a friend's recommendation. I love fried chicken and she knows it. I got the crispy fried chicken sandwich and the animal style fries. The chicken sandwich was made out of thigh meat, which is amazing as a big dark meat fan. The thigh is actually my favorite. The sandwich was full of cilantro and that was alot of the taste I had as well as the ranch. Be warned: it is a very very messy meal as the bun does not contain the chicken at all. It was delicious though. Chicken was pretty tender and it was pretty crispy too. The animal style fries were good too but at $11 I may pass on this next time in favor of the $6 regular fries. Lowkey think I like in n out original animal style better.

    great burger spot - ordered for take out & got the pop's burger with animal fries. had the best time eating this cozy meal with a movie. also, i recommend getting a side of special sauce if you love a saucey burger

    Chop burger and fries

    It's a Friday night with unseasonably warm weather, and we're exploring the neighborhood for a taste of something new. Since it was a full house, we had to go for the outdoor seating. Sadly, it quickly became the smokers' section. Thankfully, we were able to escape by grabbing an available table indoors. I ordered the Dusty Dog (corn-battered on a stick mustard, spicy mayo, cilantro scallion, crispy shallots, and togarashi) and really appreciated the employee confirming whether the hotdogs were 100% beef. It tasted alright, alongside a handful of crispy fries that I grabbed from a friend.

    Yum!

    This is a small little kitchen within The Johnsons so it's great for drunk eats or just a pickup and go. The best part of all this is that they have vegetarian alternatives for all their choices. I got the Chop Burger vegetarian with a veggie burger (for $1 extra) and my friend got the grumpy meal. Both were big enough portions and the Yelp Check-in reward was fries! The fries were cooked perfectly a good size (and a good size portion) and had some great seasoning. There's place to eat indoor and outdoor and it was a really quick turn around. Definitely a place I'll come back when I'm craving a veggie burger!

    It's quite the non descript location if you're not paying attention, you will surely pass it. Located around the corner from a few nightspots I never would have noticed this place had I not seen him on Yelp. I called in an order for pickup and the check-in special was honored! So sweet! The service that come out of the kitchen is impeccable. There is a small staff the owner (hi, Bill!), and 2 workers that are crank it out the best stuff ever. Crisp golden fries (Asian flavor to them, ummmmm), fresh burgers and portable drinks? Yes please. Never mind the picture of my pain killer isnt frozen, its for later (I'm excited). I will be sure to use these nice folks for delivery and irl the future.

    I've ordered strange flavor burger shack before and recently stopped in for pickup for the first time so I decided why not write a review. Strange flavor has some, well.. strange flavors, but good ones at that! What you see in the picture is my typical order: the chop burger (no pickles) and animal style fries. Both have interesting flavors you wouldn't normally expect from a burger place! The burger even has peanuts which, although sounds odd, is actually really good for a different textural component. The fries are more crunchy than soft but the sauce is plentiful and welcomed. They also give you a ton, so I'd recommend sharing an order instead of getting one per person. It's not something I crave all the time, but once in awhile I get the urge for some strange flavors!

    My friend's corn dog. I didn't have it but he said it was a solid A.

    To be clear, this little burger shack is located inside The Johnson's, an 80s style retro bar. The shack offers a few classic burgers, loaded fries, and crispy chicken sandwiches. You order at the shack window, they give you a number and bring the food to your table at the bar. The fries alone come in a huge portion so I don't know why I ordered a chicken sandwich but that's what I did. Dang that chimken was good! I don't know what batter they use but the outside crisp was phenomenal. They use some sort of Asian-style seasoning blend, which was a delightfully scrumptious surprise. The other surprise was how enormous the chicken was. This is a huge chicken cutlet sandwiched between a regular potato bun. They could easily make two chicken sandwiches w that amount of cutlet, possibly even three. So I recommend splitting the sandwich w someone. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the sandwich but feast thine eyes upon these fries. I recommend.

    Honestly chicken sandwich gas Bring a microwave for the fries After you grab it you gotta grab the $2 beer from Johnson's in back to complete the meal

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.

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.

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.

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.
