The good items (like the burger) were amazing, but there were also a number of less memorable items (pizzas were hit or miss...feel like there should be a better, more consistent standard for being a pizza place).
The Emmy burger was as good as advertised, and it totally lived up to all the hype, which is rare. Everything was great, from the meat to the cheese to the sauce to the pretzel bread...and everything worked well in combination. Most memorable burger I've had in a while.
The curly fries that came with the burger were good, but not nearly as good as the crowlers (curly fries topped with miso queso, jalapenos, scallions, olives). So yes, I would recommend ordering the crowlers even if your burger comes with curly fries.
Of the pizzas, the Detroit-style pizzas were much better than the round pies. The square pies had a nice crunch but were not too dense. The Colony had amazing flavor, but the Pig Freaker didn't live up to expectations for us; for a pizza with kimchi and bacon, the flavors were not that standout. We only tried one round pie, and I found it too chewy and not crispy enough.
The shredded sprouts were okay, but the buttermilk blue dressing was too heavy for my taste, and the shishito peppers were not that special either, and the pecorino on the shishito peppers didn't stay on the peppers and instead melt into big pieces that then fell off to the side when cool.
The duck confit sandwich came on the same pretzel bun as the burger, and the sauce was good, but we did share this sandwich and I didn't feel like I got enough duck confit in my portion to really be able to comment; not sure if it was just bad splitting/cutting on our part.
