My sister and brother in law were excited to try out this spot as they heard great things about it. My bestie and I tried the cheeseburger, Detroit style pizza and brussel sprouts salad. Surprisingly my favorite dish was the brussel salad. It was light, fresh, and crispy - whatever dressing they had in it was refreshing. Now to the burger. I've had a lot in my life, and this one was majorly disappointing. We all agreed there was no flavor. Wouldn't get that again. The Detroit style pizza helped make up for the disappointing burger. I typically don't gravitate towards this style, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was light and the i gradients blended well together. It was a little spicy which we liked. The best part was the pepperonis were cooked well and crunchy. Yum! read more

SO SO GOOD. I am a sucker for a pretzel bun, so much that i eat it by itself sometimes. however the pretzel bun for the emmy burger really seals the meal completely, capturing the savory & juiciness of the meat, without the overly greasy nature of some other burgers in the city (that chain that we all find ourselves going back to). the staff was nice and the ambiance was great, no one rushed us even as we approached 5:30/6 pm dinner time on a saturday. i recommend going during off peak around 3/4 pm to get a good seat by the window and leisurely chat while enjoying delicious pizza (so butter and yummy) and the emmy burger. ps dont get seoul sister, it's really wet and nothing to call home about. but i didnt tack stars for that since thats not what they're known for read more

The pizza and wings are our #1 choice! If u order sausage on ur pizza, its not big slices of sausage, its crumbly like beef. I prefer big sausage pieces. But none the less, coming here is always a great experience. We love this place. read more

*** 4.5 stars *** For the BURGER. I've slowly been working my way through all the "best' burgers in NYC and when I had 30 minutes to kill and found myself walking past Emily, I plopped myself down at the bar and ordered the burger. This thing is no joke. The pasture raised dry aged beef is as good as it sounds and is served on a pretzel bun with caramelized onion, cheddar and a secret sauce. I personally love all of those components, so this burger for me, is currently in competition with the Claudette burger for the top spot. read more

Wanted to rate this place higher, Ordered the pretzel bun burger. The meat and the cheese was actually very tasty. Unfortunately they totally burnt the bun. I was so hungry at that point so I ate most of it anyway. Really a shame cause most of the burger was very good but I kept tasting that burnt pretzel bun which ruined it. We also split the Enzo pizza. This was absolutely delicious. Loved it with the honey and pepperoni. Our waiter was nice, but he was a little slow and nonexistent when we needed to check. Overall, I would've given this place likely five stars but the burnt button just kind of ruined the meal. Totally should've sent it back, but I was pretty hungry so I sucked it up and eat most of it. read more

Hit up Emily recently and I got the Emmy Burger and their famous MVP pizza. The burger lives up to the hype: juicy, well-seasoned beef, nicely melted cheese, caramelized onions, and that pretzel-bun + special sauce combo that makes it feel indulgent in all the right ways. The MVP Pie was also excellent. It's simple but so well executed: great crust, mellow tomato sauce, layered cheese, and that perfect Emily-style balance of richness and char. Not as flashy as some of their other pies, but honestly one of those "done right" pizzas that hits exactly when you want something classic. A great comfort-food meal and an easy recommendation if you want pizza and burgers that taste genuinely well crafted. read more

Almost 5 starts but a few things off. The Kim Chi Bulgogi fries were full of bacon, and less bulgogi but the bulgogi had a seasoning that wasn't good, the sauce ok, missing salt and would have been great if a little kim chi was actually on top. The Emmy Double Stack Burger was really good, super greasy, and hard to eat. Had to eat with knife and fork. The waffle fries needed salt! They had a herb/garden like ranch, that they charge for $2. I was bummed I didn't get to sit on the floor level, and went down in the basement instead. Must be because I'm a tourist instead of a local. That bummed me out! Andrew was our server. Nice guy, he didn't check on my table as often as the other table with more than 2 guests. read more

After how frequently the famous "Emmy Burger" comes up on a podcast I listen to, I knew I had to try this place when I was visiting NYC. The burger was maybe the best burger I've ever had. What that special sauce is, I have no idea but it is goooood. My husband got the Good Paulie pizza, which is a white sauce base and holy crap was it delicious too! They make Detroit style pizzas with a thicker crust, which I love. Our cocktails were so yummy too. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant too - they were playing great music and sitting upstairs allowed me to look outside all the windows and watch everyone walk by. The upstairs seating is a bit crowded with tables for 1-4 people. It was a little awkward being seated so close to other people, but I understand they are maximizing the smaller space. They had outdoor tables as well, but we were visiting in February, so no one was seated outside. Downstairs had little rooms for larger groups and was so cool - like a fancy cellar with exposed brick. And you can see the open kitchen where they are hard at work preparing the food. You've probably had pizza and burgers before but if you've never had them at Emily's, I promise you won't regret it! read more

Wow. I can understand the hype. I've been back already. The double burger is nothing short of delectable. The sauce is so creamy and it's messy and allllll over the burger. So tasty to try. The pretzel bun is a blast. Waffle fries were perfectly cooked. Awesome service. He was so friendly and walked us through the whole history of the burger. I felt very taken care of. I can't recall his name but slightly red head and a beard. He is the man! read more

Came here for lunch after summer streets. We made a reservation and came about half an hour early, which they were nice enough to seat us. We were seated and given menus and cups. Then no one came to us for 10 minutes, not even with water. The other patrons all either ordered, or had their food already so I wasn't sure why we weren't given any attention. We tried to flag them down but they mostly congregated near the front amongst each other and were facing the other way. We finally got someone to take our order after 15 minutes. We ordered the double stacked burger and a chicken parm sandwich. The burger was pretty good. Cheese and sauce were great, and lovedddd the waffle fries. The chicken parm sandwich was all right, but it's not what they're known for. read more

Called to see if they did walk ins since online they were all full. We showed up in 10 and got seated with the understanding that another party will need the table in 80 min. Having read reviews about the burger we winded up ordering the Seoul Sister and the Emmy. We also tried the cauliflower along with some beers. Note that during ordering we were not asked how we wanted the Emmy cooked, whereas another party that came along later the server did ask. A sign of spotty service. The cauliflower came first and was tender, tasty and had a kick. The Seoul Sister came first, followed by the Emmy in about 5 minutes. Upon first bite of both burgers one could feel how dense the bite was. The meat was salty and chewy. Kenji Lopez Alt would have had a fit since the burgers were probably over handled in adding the seasoning and forming the patty. So while the menu description read fantastic (as well as some reviews online) the actual eating experience was a bit disappointing since it didn't live up to the rave reviews. The interior decor was nice and seating tight and a loud nyc ambiance, with outdoor seating even on a rainy day. Additional seating and bathrooms are downstairs. We didn't try the pizza but as for the burgers take the hype with a grain of salt. Knowing there was a time limitation on the seats we attempted to flag our server down on a few occasions for the check but unfortunately he was not so attentive. read more

Went there with a large group for dinner. We were seated in a private area and had terrific service. We ordered a number of appetizers and then pizzas. Cauliflower was terrific. Well cooked but still firm with a sharp chili, cooled by raisins...banana chilis gave it crunch and heat. Nice dish. Brussels sprouts salad was also shared. Nice large helping with fresh Brussels Sprouts, blue cheese and dried cherries. Sour flavor and saltiness of fish worked well. French fries were shared as they were out of waffle fries - std fare. Non dairy pizza with pepperoni was enjoyed. I did not try it but the person who had it loved it. White sauce pizza with garlic and marscapone cheese was tasty. The red sauce pizza was also great. Red sauce pizza with nuts was also enjoyed by those who tried it. We tried a bottle of the Pinot Grigio and it was good. I recommend this place! read more

Might've been the best pizza I've ever had - I tend to like thicker crust. I want to go back and verify. The burger was also super good but if I were to go back I'd ask for lettuce and tomato on it to cut the heaviness. Pretzel bun was definitely unique but a tad dry. Great service and solid seating. I sat outdoors but I love that. read more

Tried the famous Emmy burger and honestly, it was kind of underwhelming. Most of the flavor came from the cheese and caramelized onions, but the beef patties didn't really stand out. The waffle fries on the side were really good though. Ended up liking the chicken parm sandwich more. The chicken was crispy and sandwich was extra cheesy. Service could've been better. We sat for a while without water or any attention from the server. read more

Came here to just try the burger this time. The saucy drizzle look scares me a bit as , I mean... I do enjoy the flavor, the sauce wasn't very thick as it looked. Pretty greesy. Usually not a fan of pretzel bun as it's usually on the denser side but this one wasnt, and love the grilled/toasted rim of the bun. I asked for crispier fries, it was good. For $30 though, it's almost the price for burger at a fine dining restaurant. read more

Went with a group. Sharing the burger and 2 pizzas was enough for 4. The burger was the real deal. Sauce was super delicious and the burger had a good crust. Was more medium than medium rare and I actually enjoyed it which doesn't happen often with medium burgers. The fries were also very yummy. The mvp pizza was saucy and had a yummy crust. Would definitely recommend. Set he was very good as well. read more

Went to Emily for a private dinner with friends. We sat in the basement next to the wine cellar. It was a dim, candlelit ambiance. It was absolutely perfect for what my friend had envisioned. The staff was great. The manager came to introduce himself and offered to help with anything we needed. It was $60 pp for plenty of food. They even customized the menu for us. The pizza was absolutely delicious especially the MVP and burrata. Next time I would love to try the dessert. Highly recommend! read more

Came for a late lunch on a Saturday (with a reservation) and walked right in. Service was good. Drinks were good too. We ordered the burger and MVP pizza to share - both were good. The pizza was REALLY good. The burger is suppperrr hyped up, and while it was a good burger, it's not my favorite (just personal preferences). The sauce is delicious but there's a lot of it. Waffle fries on the side were soooo good. I'd come back here and try more apps and pizza! Great for a quick lunch but I'd also imagine very cute for a girls night or date night too. read more

I have been on a quest to find the best burger in New York and Emily has officially thrown its hat into the ring. With that known, I ordered their signature Emmy Burger with waffle fries. I received the burger fairly quickly and I was ready to dig in. I took my first bite and it was so delicious that I almost fell out of my chair. To expand, the burger was medium rare and cooked to perfection. In addition, it was two big juicy patties loaded with cheese and sweet, caramelized onions. Furthermore, the bun was fluffy and tasted fresh. Finally, the burger was topped with their signature sauce that was slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness. It was simply one of the best burgers I've ever had. Likewise, the waffle fries were tasty as well. The fries were crispy, hot, and seasoned. It was nice to have some good fries for once. Also, I would like to mention that the mozzarella sticks were very good as well. To explain, the sticks had an excellent breading and the cheese had a great pull to them. In full, Emily is a great restaurant and has one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. read more

Heard about this place but was unaware of the GAME they had. WOW. Perfect place to eat outside - it's in such a chill, little hidden area of the west village. That pizza was INCREDIBLE. Nothing like a Detroit slice with a little more pizzaz. The burger also had this addictive buffalo type steak sauce - I can't even describe it it was just mouth watering. A must try and a top contender for my fav burger in NYC. read more

Great burger, huge portions. What more can you ask for? Went for lunch and it was a decent amount of people but not too crowded. One thing I was not a fan of was how squished the tables are together so you can hear everything the person next to you is saying. This was not factored in my review because I understand NYC is a tight space. We got the Emmy Double Stacked burger with waffle fries and they gave such a large portion. The burger was juicy and tasted quite unique (gochujang mayo is not a typical burger ingredient) but it made it taste really good. It was a bit messy to eat but the juiciness and flavorful burger made up for it. Waffle fries were perfectly crispy as well. This was a fantastic burger and fries meal. Will say though the burger is quite expensive at $27 per person read more

I've heard sooo much good things about the Emmy burger so of course I had to give it a try. We ordered the burger and pizza to share between the 2 of us. - Emmy burger: 100/10 (love love lovedddd the sauce! I can see why people were raving about the burger here-- it's definitely a perfect burger to have when you're craving a burger with a nice tangy, deep sauce. Fries on the side were meh-- I like my fried to be crispier and hot.) - MVP pizza: 8/10 (loved the sauce but the dough was so so... maybe I'm just too used to the perfectly crispy pizza dough in other places) Vibes were very cozy and service was great. I'll def be back for the burger! read more

Quick disclaimer before I begin: I'm usually very straight-to-the-point with my reviews. Good or bad, that's it. I don't ramble or write essays. But this is the first restaurant in years that I got home from and immediately wanted to talk about, so here we are. Let's talk about Emily. The ambiance is immediately evident. Upstairs is social, buzzing, etc. Downstairs is intimate, quiet, almost hidden. They even have a room downstairs that you can decorate as you'd like, bring your own dessert in, etc. And the prices are actually reasonable in the West Village. So, we asked about it for an upcoming birthday. And if you end up loving this place as much as we did, ask them about it. Now, onto the service. Our server, Mel, was the epitome of this entire experience. Vibrant, attentive, caring. Not in an overbearing way, just in a genuine way. She went above and beyond, quadruple-checked everything with us to make sure our friend with a severe nut allergy was okay, which is even more important here since pesto is involved... and I love pesto. The biggest thing, though, was that it felt like eating at someone's home. Fast, always around before you knew you needed something. We never had to ask for anything. Mel alone was enough for me to return. Drinks - this is the only negative I have. Flavors? Incredible. Great cocktails. But they were a little light on the alcohol for the price. The prices are in line with what you would expect to pay in the West Village, but I have high standards when it comes to cocktails, judging them on the alcohol-to-price ratio. Now, the food. We stuck mostly to the pizza-based dishes, including the cheesy garlic sticks, which are made fresh from the pizza dough. I've had my fair share of garlic cheesy sticks in my time, and I was pretty sure they could not be improved. I was wrong. I was wrong. The garlic cheesy sticks were the best I've had in years. Easily. We also tried The Luca -- added pepperoni for a little extra flair, but at its core it's traditional, classic, and just straight-up fire. If you're someone who likes to play it safe and still wants something executed perfectly, this is absolutely your pizza. The main event for me, though, was the VIP -- which is actually what I ordered. It's essentially the spicy version of the MVP. And listen, I have a spice tolerance like a mf, and this pizza actually delivered the kick I've always wanted from a pizza place. Not some gimmicky hot honey situation -- real heat, real flavor. Marinara. Vodka sauce. Pesto. All of these were already present and accounted for. But I had the brilliant idea of taking the pizza and dipping it in whatever sauce I was in the mood for. I opted for the pesto, and it was just incredible. All of the sauces are house-made and are absolutely delicious. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "New York does not love the Detroit-style pizza." And you're right. You're thinking, "I don't care how good the pizza is, I don't care what the guy says, I don't like the style." And you're right. You're thinking, "I'm a thin crust guy, and I don't care how good the pizza is, I don't care what the guy says, I don't like the style." And you're right. I'm not any of those guys. I'm a pizza connoisseur. I was just in Italy, and I'll tell you something. Nothing was even close. I did not even try everything. They have an award-winning burger that everyone around me was ordering, and the wings looked insane. So yeah, even with the slight drink criticism, between the ambiance, the service, and the food, this place is an easy 11/10. I genuinely can't believe it took me this long to find this place. And I'll be back. Soon. read more

I reserved my group of 8 at Emily's for a birthday party, but we ended up lowering it to 6 the day of. Since the restaurant was fully booked, we stayed in the private room which ended up working in our favor, it was beautiful! It was a great space to use and felt like we had our own room. The ambiance was lovely. Since we did a family style pre fixe, the food started coming out asap. The menu they set up for us was a nice touch! We got to add a custom image and title at the top too, so it felt a little more special. We got the mozz sticks, salad, wings, burger, and different pizzas. It was DELICIOUS. The portions were great, and we ended up having lots of leftovers. The pizzas were both doughy and had a crispy crust. They were all so flavorful, if only we were hungrier to eat them all! The only thing I probably would've replaced was the wings, but everything else was great! Service was also top notch. We could tell he was busy, but he was on top of taking care of our party. If anyone is in need of a space for an intimate birthday party, Emily's is definitely the spot! read more

Neat little place. Came in for an early dinner. The place was quiet and laid back. Service was good. Staff were helpful as we asked about the food and drinks, as well as checking in just the right amount of times. I did order an Old Fashioned before we ate. I asked for it to be made with Makers Mark. I felt it was a little on the high side as it cost $20. The food was outstanding! The Emmy Double Stack Burger has got to be one of the best burgers I've ever had. Cooked perfectly and flavorful. It came with waffle fries that were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and seasoned well. We also tried the Chicken Crunchers. They were so good! Not sure what the sauce was that was on them, but it was phenomenal. The ranch for dipping was so good and went well with it. read more

This whole experience was everything that we wanted. A girls night with great food and drink options. We were running late and the team was super friendly and understanding. We were sat right away and the service was quick but not pushy. I feel like we should have gotten 3 burgers instead of just 2. Trust me...they are worth all the hype. Caesar salad was honestly one of the best I've had in a LONG time. Even if you don't like anchovies- you won't even care. Pizza was a perfect distribution of sauce and toppings. I can't wait to come back and try again. 10/10 read more

I've been to a couple Emmy Squared locations but never to Emily, so I was excited to add it to my list! We shared the Caesar salad, which might be one of the best I've ever had, and the vodka pizza. We asked our waitress if we could do half pepperoni, half sausage but were rudely told no but that we could just put pepperoni on half instead? I don't get why that was our only option and sausage couldn't have been added to the other half. We were charged for a pepperoni addition on the entire pizza anyways, so why not be able to add a different meat to half of the bottom sauce is the same? We also asked for clean plates after our Caesar, which never came so we were sharing the pizza plate. The food is great, but our waitress wasn't the nicest or most attentive. Loved the outside seating vibes, though! read more

I came here specifically for their burger. I finally had the chance to try it after watching a video (from Insider?) years ago. We also ordered a pizza to try bc why not. My bf and I shared the burger and I'm so glad we did because that burger was thiccc. It also came with a side of crispy waffle fries which I loved. The burger was delicious. From the caramelized onions, to the cheese and their secret sauce, it was a nice juicy burger. I was actually already full from the burger and could barely eat the pizza. It was pretty filling. I forgot the name of the pizza but it had pepperoni, red sauce, pesto and I think vodka sauce as well. The pizza was actually pretty good and it even tasted just as good the night of after leaving it in our hotel room and eating it cold! Service could've been better though. The waiter didn't come check up on us at all or refilled our waters. read more
