    Trio House Pie
    Helen S.

    We had a reservation for 3 on a Friday night and were seated as soon as we arrived. The restaurant is small and was really busy so would recommend booking, at least for weekends. We ordered the hot wings to start and then the Emmy Burger and the Trio House Pie to share for our mains. The wings arrived quickly and really packed a punch of flavour. The portion size was generous, enough for 3 of us to share, and overall it made for a great starter. We had a nice break between our starters and mains arriving, which we appreciated. When they arrived though all of the main dishes were delicious! The burger was so juicy and all of the flavours together worked so well, I can see why this is considered one of the best burgers in New York. Shoutout to the fries that came with the dish as well, they were so moreish and none of us could stop eating them. The pizza was more of a Neapolitan style pizza but the dough was tasty and we all thought it was an enjoyable slice. We ended the meal with some espresso martinis and the s'mores calzone. The martinis were great and the calzone was a great dessert, it was just a bit too much for us after all of the food (clearly had eyes bigger than our stomachs). All in all I would highly recommend Emily if you are looking for a casual restaurant with good food. We all had 3 or 4 drinks each, along with the food, and the total bill (including tax and tip) came to c$300. We didn't think this was bad value for the quality of food (and being New York) and we all agreed we would return. Looking forward to trying more dishes in the future!

    I've walked by the restaurant Emily here in Clinton Hill Brooklyn 100 times and never recognized it for what it is: a really good cafe / restaurant making excellent food! It opens at 12:00 noon for lunch and I was there at 11:59. I got the "A" table for the five of us and we all jumped all over their famous "EMMY BURGER" made with Pat LaFrieda dry aged beef, EMMY sauce, caramelized onion, Grafton cheddar, on a pretzel bun with cornichon & fries! Yes it was a feast for your eyes and palate. Us five devoured these burgers. This restaurant is very popular and fills up quickly. The service was attentive, the ambiance is Cafe Stylist and the food was excellent. I remember Brooklyn in the old days with Peter Lugers Steakhouse being the only reason to come this borough to eat; man........have things changed now. Brooklyn is now a Mecca for great food and Emily's is on that list!

    Visited Emily during my NYC trip and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I ordered the Dante pizza, Emily pizza, burger, and Caesar salad . The crust on both pizzas was perfectly chewy and charred, and the flavors were super well balanced. The Emily pizza stood out for its sweet-savory combo (that honey hits), but honestly, each item held its own. The burger? Insanely good, juicy, rich, and perfectly cooked. The whole meal was memorable, and the space had a really cozy, welcoming vibe. Would 100% go back next time I'm in the city.

    Trash Ranch

    Service: 1/5 Food: -Caesar 2/5 - $16 -Ranch 0/5 - $2 -Emmy Burger with Bacon 4/5 -$35 Biggest issue of the night, the service. We came on a Monday night, restaurant was pretty empty. There was a party of 2 that had all their food by the time my husband and I sat down, and a party of 4 that ordered a few min before we ordered. There were about 2 take out orders while we were there, so nothing crazy was going on. The waitress/hostess and bartender spent more time on their phone than paying attention to the customers. We couldn't get their attention for a side of ranch for almost 10 min because they were gossiping and on their phones. Then when the check came, the audacity to have the minimum tip at 20% when the service was trash. The Emmy burger - for $35 and the hype about one of the best burgers around, we were let down. The burger was good, but we weren't WOW'ed it was just a solid burger. Not worth $35 in our opinion. The bun was really good, meat juicy, bacon was delicious, but the burger overall was just okay? It just wasn't anything extraordinary or memorable. We wouldn't recommend coming here just for the burger. Burger came with fries which was really solid. Fries 5/5. The sauce it came with, we were not a fan of. Caesar salad - EXTREMELY salty. We wanted pepper for the salad but couldn't get our servers attention (of course). The pepper honestly might have changed our opinions, but it was just so salty the way it was served. We had to keep drinking coke to help with the salt. Ranch - this was disgusting. The ranch had an odd cucumber taste? Didn't taste anything like ranch.

    I've been to the other Emily locations and I usually love them. It was my first time at this location. And it was definitely different than the other ones. I want to say this is a skinny girl Emily I don't know if that's necessarily true, but the pizza had a thin crust and that makes me think that it was healthier lol. But I will say I would pick the other locations over this one. Their Wings is an absolute must, and they actually really appreciated their salad. I am a typically a loyal girl to the colony, but I decided to try something different. I forgot the name. I did get their burger as I always do but this burger had caramelize onions in it, which basically overpowered the taste and didn't give me the vibe I was looking for. I swear it's different than the other locations but I didn't double check. Do I recommend it? Yes. But I do prefer the other locations more!

    My husband and I came here on a Sunday evening around 7pm and was seated immediately. The place's ambiance was nice with a fair amount of lighting for me to peruse the menu. Coming in, I was hungry and we ordered an app and each of us got the burger. The cauliflower dish was good! It had a decent amount of veggies (haha maybe should've gotten more fiber in our diet but whatever haha) but the sauce it came with was delicious! However, the star was the burger. The burger was cooked perfectly and the bun wasn't soggy! I especially loved the bun it came with but I don't know if I would want to pay this amount on burgers and fries again. Overall, if you haven't had it, definitely try! You will not be disappointed. You'll leave full and happy (if you love carbs :p)

    I've heard chatter about the burger at this spot for some time, so when my best friend wanted a birthday dinner near his bar hang in the area this was a perfect opportunity to try it out. Thanks to the team for being so responsive and open to our larger party in the small space! Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and we were excited to try everything. We started with the Shishitos, Strawberry Salad, and Watermelon Salad- this spot really has their sauces down. Both salads were bright and tasty, and we ended up just keeping the shishito dip cup at the table for whatever else came. Next was the burger and the wings. The burger was good but wasn't my favorite: granted, we split this, so maybe I just didn't get the seasoned quarter, but the carmelized onions and sauce on it were good and the bun so chewy. The wings, however. The WINGS! I've been thinking about them for a week and a half since trying them. Waking up yet again craving those wings is why I remembered to post this review. We initially got one order to share against our server's advice and had to relent and order another. Such a hit. The pizzas were great too, but honestly I locked in on the wings and don't remember much other than everyone really loved everything else we got. & honorable mention to the absolutely perfect fries! At the end of the meal they stuck a little candle in the banana pudding & we sang happy birthday which was really sweet to let us do even tho we were the last table left in there. 10's for this experience. Can't wait to come back!

    I've been hearing such good things about this place so I finally decided to try it for takeout. I ordered through their website and it was ready for pick up earlier than estimated! Got the Quinn pizza (white pie) with added sausage and it was sooooo good. So good that my mom who I shared it with, called two people to brag about it. We aren't fans of red sauce so this was right up our alley. The cheese blend was perfect and buttery. The crust was thin and crispy just how we like it!

    I've been to Emmy's several times and finally made it to Emily. I came primarily for the burger. I love the pretzel bun. This was a solid burger. The colony is one of my favorite slices at Emmy Squared and found out that it comes as a standard round pie at Emily. Loved it here even more! - you get more pepperonis ;)

    Is the Emmy burger sold during brunch hours on the weekend?

    Yes!!! I have gone right when it opens twice and have gotten the burger.

    How early do they run out of burgers on the weekend?

    No telling for sure (which makes it all the more annoying) but as early as 730 pm. Good luck and enjoy!

    How long is the wait for a table usually for a weekday (mon-thurs)?

    20 mins

    I heard that they do not allow modifications on their infamous burger, so I am wondering is lite sauce or no sauce is an option?

    Correct! they try and accommodate request but modifications are limited. I think its done because they build a great burger and to maximize the taste allowing modifications from customers take away from how good it is.. For instance i wanted a… Read more

    Are walk-ins typically accepted on a Friday night? If so, what's the typical wait time?

    You can totally walk-in, but the wait time on Fridays and weekends is typically long - sometimes up to 30 minutes. People (me including!) sometimes go to Hanson Dry to get a drink before we get called to eat.

    How early do they run out of burgers on a weeknight?

    On a Thursday night, we got there at 7:30 and they still had burgers. When the table next to us tried to order some around 8:30, they were out. I would try to go before 8 if you can.

The atmosphere really sets it apart--those soaring ceilings and massive windows create an airy, open feel that's perfect for daytime drinking, and the sports decor adds character without being over the top. Despite being a sports bar (I'm sure it gets lively during Knicks playoff games), it was surprisingly family-friendly during our visit. We saw several other families, including one with a small baby, and the vibe was welcoming and chill. It wasn't crowded, so we could sit wherever we wanted. On this visit, we tried the deviled eggs, french fries, and Sonoran dog, all of which were tasty and came out impressively fast. The drinks are solid too: my Negroni was well-made, and they have well-priced beers and decent cocktails throughout. Daily specials make it even more budget-friendly. The staff is friendly and laid-back, which matches the overall vibe. Bonus points for being dog-friendly with a sidewalk patio, and the hours (weekdays 3-11pm, weekends 12-11pm) work well for both afternoon hangs and evening plans. Super convenient if you're hitting up BAM.

For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.
