Red Hook Tavern Reviews from The Last Year
I think 4.
3/5. Ambiance is great, speedy service, and wine list is approachable. I wouldn't say the burger is worth trekking for, but this place fits perfectly in a day trip itinerary if you ever feel like taking the ferry to go to Red Hook. I like that the cheese burger is loyal to the classic recipe with American cheese and onion. Even though I chickened and got medium doneness, the pepper crusted beef patty still came super juicy and with a little pleasant funk (enzymes from dry aging). I wasn't the biggest fan of the buns as they resemble those almost stale bread buns from random diners...wish they had cheated with a more buttery option.
The service is fast and polite, drink prices are good for
The service is fast and polite, drink prices are good for the area, and the food is quite good. We'll start with the good. The ham croquettes are quite tasty, with a wonderful sauce with a taste of horseradish. The French onion soup was amazing. The burger is among the best steakhouse style burgers in the city. It has a distinct dry aged flavor, and is perfectly juicy. The weakest dish of the day was the prime rib beef on weck, it was advertised as being medium rare towards medium, it came cooked a heavy medium, if not well done, and was only ok.
First of all, believe the hype.
Second of all, go make your reservation now. Everything from appetizers to coffee and dessert were delicious. The burger is the best burger that I've ever had. It's been 4 days since I went and I still haven't thought of a better one. I usually have a doggy bag but this whole meal was gone from the table. I love that they kept the old tavern style and haven't updated it. I hope they never do. Super friendly staff. I went on the hottest day of the year so the only complaint was the AC didn't reach all of the tables but that won't keep me from returning. Tiny chairs, too, so you might get a little uncomfortable if you have a bad back. I definitely want to go back soon.
Amazing burger, arguably the best in the city.
Service was excellent and well worth the slight hassle of looking for a table.
Really good burger, but not sure it lives up to the hype
Really good burger, but not sure it lives up to the hype (or the price point). I prefer the burger at PL's.
It's a cute small space.
The food was good, I really enjoyed the prawns. The roasted chicken lacked a little in salt but I would order it again. I wasn't impressed with the service but I didn't have a negative experience either. I observed the staff accommodating guests with larger parties and try to seat people without reservations. My waiter was a little distant but overall I enjoyed the restaurant and would return.
Was lucky enough to get a reservation day of for 3 @ 930
Was lucky enough to get a reservation day of for 3 @ 930 outside, Which worked out great because the weather and outdoor ambiance was great, Some good tunes and nice lighting with a nice warm evening breeze made for a great experience. Our server was not the Best/ friendliest and lacked a little in every aspect, however the food was excellent and I will return Burger was top 3. It was a little heavy handed on the black pepper which I would omit next time if possible. Not sure if this is how they always come but the amount was a bit intense for all 3 of us.. The bun they use excellent, maybe house made? Fries which menu says "frites" which they are not, are actually called cottage fries which are more of a cross between crinkle cut potato chips and French fries were good but not very crispy. Some other things on the menu sound really good but they are well known for the burger. We had a shrimp cocktail starter which was excellent and a great with 12 shrimp for $18.
Got French onion soup, kale salad and the famous burger.
The soup and salad were amazing, perfectly seasoned and delicious. On the other hand, less impressed with the burger that everyone raves about. I think it's a preference but I didn't enjoy the raw onions and they over did the seasoning (too much peppercorns). The burger was definitely big and juicy and the bun was great but did not meet the expectation nor feel justified for the price.
Literally the worst establishment ever.
They had me on a waitlist for 4 hours and when I come back they say they are done seating for the night. Incredibly rude staff. Burger is greasy and overrated. Don't support a place like this, ruining the dining scene in New York.
Don't even look at the menu! Just order the burger! It's a
Don't even look at the menu! Just order the burger! It's a blend of different meats. Simply amazing!
Go On A Monday Night
Had reservations on 3/25 Monday night, sat at the bar for our reservation and only waited about 15 minutes, Started off with a Tito’s martini and a cosmo….apps were half doz oysters and their croquettes, both very good though oysters were small in size. My wife had the roasted chicken and I had the burger, had to try…though good, I think the bistro burger is/was better. Have gone to the C Bistro since early nineties. Go on a Monday night!!!
The hype is real, everything here was freaking delicious.
And thank you Jesus finally a competent and friendly hostess in NYC, you guys are doing something right bc she treated me with respect and I felt appreciated from the moment I walked in!! That's extremely rare these days please give her a raise. The burger is all worth the hype and dammit I wanna go back and eat there immediately to have it again!! I'm getting rainbow cookies for dessert next time, compliments to the owner and the executive chef!
Stop reading this review, head to Red Hook Tavern, and get
Stop reading this review, head to Red Hook Tavern, and get the burger. You will not regret it. Seriously, I didn't have "lunch" here, I had a religious experience. The burger gets a lot of hype, and I can confirm that all of it is deserved. They keep it nice and simple to let each component shine, and shine they do! Let's work our way from the outside in -- the bun is something special, toasty without being too crunchy, the perfect vehicle for this burger to get to your mouth. The meat is seasoned perfectly, you can taste the salt and cracked pepper with each juicy bite. I got mine medium, and it was easily the best burger patty I've tasted in years, maybe ever. The cheese is so decadent, and adds a nice sharpness to go with the heavy patty. And then the onions are a nice touch, adding some crunch to each bite without taking away from other flavors. The fries were also great, shaped more like chips than traditional sticks, and also seasoned really well. Charming old school interior, and it fills up quickly! Make a reservation or go at an off hour if you don't want to deal with a wait. Everything about this meal was memorable, I can't say enough about my experience here.
Have to say, quite a disappointing experience.
We've wanted to have the burger at Red Hook Tavern for a while and it sadly did not live up to the hype. Ordered medium rare, arrived nearly 45 minutes later close to well done. If we get the dry aged burgers at Winner butcher or Ends meat, we frankly replicate the burger easily for $10 rather than $29. Would not make a point of going again. Salad was good as were the croquettes. But the fame for the burger is just hype. If you can't cook a medium rare burger in a spot known for burgers, why bother? Struggled to get the attention several times of our server who, while friendly, kept her eyes straight ahead rather than even glancing at her tables. Pretty 101 no-no. All in all, boo. We wanted it to be awesome. It's not.
Burger was a show stopper for sure, complemented by kind
Burger was a show stopper for sure, complemented by kind and attentive service. Definitely check this spot out (and make sure you secure a res)!
If you live in the neighborhood, this place feels snobbish
If you live in the neighborhood, this place feels snobbish relative to the other options -- its all business and sel that seat to the top toirist. How can you have a bar that is not welcoming? They only do reservations which doesnt leave for much of a local feel. I rarely (never?) write a poor review of this nature. Consider this more of a vote of admiration for all the other options in the neighborhood who actually make themselves accessible and make an effort to be part of the community. Please change your seating policy or let another hospitable proprietor fill your spot
$29 for a cheeseburger? Yeah.
..and it's worth it! This huge dry aged burger cooked to perfection is served covered with delicious American cheese, white onion on a lightly toasted bun and is accompanied by a generous amount of cottage fries and a pickle. It also comes with an incredibly friendly and efficient waitstaff! There was nothing we did not love though the ice cream sundae would be even better with a thicker (and a bit more) fudge sauce. On my next visit I look forward to to trying their steak tartare which I will only eat in restaurants who have earned my trust!
One of the best tavern in all of New York City.
Great vibes and incredible food. They are famously known for their dry aged cheeseburger and believe me it did not disappoint. Bit out-of-the-way in red Hook Brooklyn however, definitely worth the trip. Book ahead.
Just want to start off by saying yes, the burger is worth
Just want to start off by saying yes, the burger is worth it. Best burger I've had in my life. Although, the night started on a bad note- Me and my parents had a Sunday reservation for 645. We got there on time and our table had a family sitting down with their entrees just being cleared. The host simply said it would be at least a 15 minute wait, no apology or anything. When the family finally finished, there was no rush getting the table cleaned and set for us. We got seated 30 minutes after our reservation. The server offered us free croquetes at least, but the host was inattentive and dismissive. The service when we were sitting was great through. The food was absolutely mind blowing. From the mouthwatering burger, the chicken, the fish and chips, the croquettes, the capacola and the wedge, it truly all blew us away. I want to come back and try the pastas. I would give five stars for food but the hiccup in the beginning brought it down.
My partner wanted the best burger in NYC for his birthday
My partner wanted the best burger in NYC for his birthday dinner so I took him here- and it did not disappoint! We are both foodies and have eaten out together at a ton of places across the city- this one tops them all! I got a mint Julip to drink at the waiters recommendation and it was absolutely fantastic! To start, we ordered the potato and ham croquettes. We were so blown away by them that we asked for a second order. I grew up eating my grandmothers potato croquettes that she would hand make- these topped those! For our entrees, I got the roasted chicken and my partner got the burger. The chicken was so good that I was picking it up with my hands to eat it off of the bone. My partner said his burger was outstanding. I also adore the decor of this place. The inside is extremely cozy. It's the perfect spot for a date or to meet friends for dinner. Their bathrooms were also extremely clean and smelled incredible. I can't recommend this place enough. We agreed that this has been our favorite bite in the city so far (and I've lived here for 8 years).
So let's start by how difficult it is to get a reservation
So let's start by how difficult it is to get a reservation here . Why ? There's only maybe 10 tables inside . Weather permitting and you can withstand the cold & rain you can sit in the outdoor area they built. Weekend menu much smaller which would be fine . We had to order any appetizers and meal all at one time. Received the ham & cheese croquettes?? No taste other than the oil it's cooked in and SALT!! Next received the French onion soup a a whopping price of $18!! Steep. Well another disappointment, soup was flavorless no cheese on top of soup but somewhat melted on side of a smaller size cup. Definitely was missing something and seemed to have some type of vinegar taste in the back. NOT GOOD AT ALL and no way worth $18 !! From this point we waited over 45 min for 2 burgers as we watched other tables seated after us receive their food before us. Waiter never visited the table during all this.finally got his attention to ask where the burgers were and when he walked back after supposedly checking very small portion of tables he walked right passed us never gave us an update . He clearly forgot our order. a manager approached me to kinda apologize for it taking sooooooo long with the excuse there is just so much room on the grill. The size of the grill isn't the problem !! I explained that many other people who were seated way after us have already received their food ! He seemed to be somewhat annoyed by what I said but was just stating a fact. Everyone seemed to get different service and different attention was given. We received none. Finally got the burger which was good. Way better places and food out there . Don't waste your time . Won't be back anymore .

Red Hook Tavern in Red Hook is an iconic pub serving one of the best burgers in NYC. We came for lunch to try this fabled burger for ourselves. We started with the ham croquettes to whet our appetizer served with a dijonaise and wedge salad served with a thick slice of bacon. Now for the main event...the dry aged burger was served, juices flowing, with melty American cheese and atop a decadently buttered bun and raw white onion to help cut the richness. This is indeed one of the best burgers we've ever had the pleasure of devouring and we understand why many feel compelled to make the pilgrimage to this eatery. We finished off with the rainbow cookies which were moist and rich with marzipan flavor. Make a day trip out here and enjoy some great local breweries, waterside views and a damn good burger
Worth the ferry ride over to Red Hook
Red Hook, Brooklyn isn’t easy to get to. But it’s a really cool spot that makes you feel like you’ve found some sort of hidden island outside of Manhattan. And the easiest way to get there is probably going to pier 11/Wall Street. The ride is quick and then you’re within about 2/10 of a mile of this restaurant once you’re at the Red Hook terminal. This place is pretty popular, so reservations through Resy are recommended. They have a lot of outdoor seating, but indoor seating is more limited, with a long wooden bar and maybe 10 tables and a booth or two. They have a succinct menu, which includes fish n chips, oysters, salad, cavatelli. I had their well know tavern burger, which was quite good. I’ve had a lot of good burgers, so I’m not sure I could say it’s the best I’ve ever had (that honor probably belongs to The Golden Diner on the LES), but it was juicy, cooked just right, super hot and cheesy. Great char on the outside. The chips that came with it were fantastic! I really liked them—fries, but cut with a mandoline slicer. Hot and well seasoned. I also had the ham and cheese coquettes (please realize this is way too much food and you shouldn’t ask for both alone unless you want leftovers). They have gooey aged cheddar—so gooey and tangy I almost thought it was pimento cheese—and a crispy outside. They have a nice cocktail list to satisfy all tastes with a variety of spirits (gin, vodka, whiskey, tequila) with lots of interesting herbs, fruits, and accompaniments. I even had one interesting drink with charred onion. They also have wine and beer, Service was attentive. She gave great suggestions. The place had a laid back vibe. Worth the ferry ride!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
