Red Hook Tavern has one of the tastiest burgers I have ever had and that's just what I wanted to say. Made reservations and had this place for dinner and everything that we had was just fantastic. We were blown away at how tasty, and juicy this dry-aged burger was. I know most people wouldn't talk about a burger but I think this place got it down. Not saying they don't make a mean Wedge salad as well. We also had some shrimp cocktails and some tasty mussels filled with some magic sauce which is also a must-order. If you are ever in Brooklyn you got to make a reservation to Red Hook Tavern. The service was perfect and even though the place was packed our meal went off without a hitch! read more

Our friend said this was one of the best burger she's had so naturally I had to verify the accuracy of such a bold statement. When we tried to make a reservation for Saturday, they were all booked out. We decided to tempt fate and trek over for walk-in. We got there 30 minutes before they opened for the evening and there was already a line! This must mean it's good right? 5 comes, and they start walking people in. Luckily, since we were 4th in line, we got seated in 15 minutes at the 2 seats by the window. The person handling the check-ins was very friendly and so was the staff inside. We got to ordering. We got the burger and cavatelli. The staff warned us there may be a 20 minute wait for our entrees but we were fine. The cavatelli came first and it was a good start to warm you up from the unusually chilly April we're experiencing. The texture was chewy and the sauces tasty. There were some pepper flakes that kicked and kicked my body heat up as well. We get the burger and it is THICCC. Probably one of the thickest I've seen smothered with that cheesy goodness. The burgers do automatically come medium rare and some may not like the texture (I loved it). It was so juicy and flavorful and the cottage fries paired well with it. I would say it's definitely worth to come for the burger. Try to make a reservation because from what it seemed, if you're not the first 8-10 parties in line, you may not get a seat. read more

Simply the best burger in NYC - no question about it. A bit steep in price but is 100% worth it. I will continue coming back

Burger was a 10/10 for me, my new favorite in the city! Ambience was gorgeous and cozy as well. We went on a hot summer day but would love to go back in the winter to align better with the cozy vibes and try some of the other dishes which looked amazing. read more

We enjoyed the burger!!! Juicy and flavorful and simple - and we love a thick patty!! The fries are good too and well salted. I like how they're cut in circles lol. The prawns were delicious! Love the sauce. The wedge salad was good! Crunchy and fresh, even though I'm not a big fan of bleu cheese dressing we stilled enjoyed. And of course how could you not like the big piece of thick bacon on top! My husband waited in like about an hour/45 mins before opening as we expected the long lines. We were seated at the bar and Connor took care of us! He was very attentive, offered great recommendations, and overall just a kind person! He made really good cocktails too. We appreciate the hospitality, and look forward to coming back to try more on the menu!! read more

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. read more

My visit was almost a year ago and I can't believe it's taken this long to write a review. there is not much to add about RHT other then the burger LIVED UP TO THE HYPE. That and it went beyond how good i thought it would be. this is by far the best steakhouse burger i've had. I've given this recommendation out as the best burger in nyc so many times, ive lost count. there are so many components that make this mouth watering good, but how they incorporate the onion on the bottom is what separates it from the rest, imo. the other thing to report about RHT is, expect a line. However, i was really impressed with the staff. we came in as two families with young kids and strollers. the staff was happy to store them even with a packed house. read more

Red Hook Tavern has built quite the reputation, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite live up to the hype. The much-talked-about cheeseburger is overrated--decent, but nothing special. On the upside, the fries were crispy and satisfying. Overall, the place feels more like a tourist trap than a local gem. If you're going for the Instagram clout, maybe it's worth a stop; otherwise, there are better spots in Brooklyn read more

BEST BURGER IN NYC (so far). There, I said it. This place really lived up to the burger hype. I was not let down one bit. Now I understand why a reservation is so hard to come by. Was able to get one for a Sunday evening. Please allocate time to get there since this is out of the way no matter what. Staff was nice and was able to accommodate food allergies. Ordered the following: 3 different cocktails - all great 3 burgers - so much great meaty flavor. Simple burger without any BS toppings... just meat, cheese, onion... amazing... came with crispy cottage fries that were perfect Oxtail Ravi - great. Would definitely order again Wedge salad - bacon on top was as good as you'll get at any steakhouse in the city Steak tartare - a little salty but great overall Definitely worth the trip! read more

We came to Red Hook Tavern because of the hype around it being named "Best Burger of 2025" by Grilled Dads. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the reputation. When we arrived, we were told there would be a two-hour wait, so we put our names on the walk-in list. We were later told our table would be ready at 9:05 PM, and we returned as instructed. At 9:22 PM, close to the restaurant's 9:30 PM closing time, the situation suddenly changed. While the restaurant initially said they would honor our table, we were told we could only be seated at a very small, uncomfortable tabletop, despite there being clearly open four-top tables available in the dining room. There was no reasonable explanation for why those tables could not be used, especially given how close it was to closing and how empty the restaurant appeared. To make matters more confusing, we were also told this was due to "reservations," even though Red Hook Tavern's stated policy is that reservations are only taken for parties of 8 or more, which did not apply to our group. The messaging was inconsistent, and no one took the time to clearly or respectfully explain the decision. Accolades and press don't excuse inconsistent service or poor hospitality. If walk-ins are accepted and policies are publicly stated, they should be applied fairly and transparently. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. read more

Wanted to give this place a try after being highly recommended by a friend. The decision was last minute so we were unable to get a reservation in advance. Decided to try my luck with walking in and arrived 30 minutes before it opened. There were already people gathering around when we arrived, but I had hope as we were the 4th party in line. Luckily, we were able to get bar seats once they opened and started letting people in. Of course I had to get the Dry-Aged Cheeseburger to see what all the hype was about. I asked for medium rare as that's what I always get. However, the patty was a bit more rare than I would've preferred. Because it was so rare, the middle of the burger was mushy. The outer parts of the patty were more cooked and much more enjoyable so I definitely see potential if I had gotten medium instead of medium rare. The burger was BEEFY! The dry aging process brought out an intense beef flavor. My partner got the cavatelli, which was good but nothing too memorable. read more

I'm always looking for a great burger in the city and red hook burger came highly recommended and deservedly so. We got the kale salad and the burger of course. It was summer so we sat outside which wasn't too bad. The burger is quite sizable and comes with very flat fries. It's quite a simple burger with a very juicy patty. A bit of sauce or ketchup included makes it even better. The service was a bit slow on the day but I recon it's cuz we were outside. Would definitely be back. read more

Red Hook Tavern is known for having the best burger in New York, and I went in with low expectations since I thought I'd already had the best burger at Emily's. But this burger was just so amazing yet so simple, just patties, buns, cheese, and an onion!! that bun takes it to a whole new level though. It was airy and crisp. It def added to the texture of the burger as a whole. The dry aged patties were just perfect. Everything went so well together. Red Hook Tavern definitely wins the best burger in New York for me. The atmosphere also feels like a classic tavern, and the service was quick. Just make sure to make a reservation because it fills up fast! read more

ok so since this spot has so much hype on the burger i knew i was coming in for that but surprisingly... that was not my favorite item that we tried. we got two mocktails, the kale salad, french onion soup and both got medium temp burgers but they came out a little bit more on the rare side. we actually liked the appetizers more than burgers and the drinks were special. i had the hey arnold and that was perfectly bitter and sweet at the same time- highly rec. the salad had so much flavor with the dressing and the green apples were a nice added touch and crunch! the french onion soup was perfect, no complaints. the burger was just a typical american style burger with cheese and onions- tbh i felt like it was missing something and the bun was a little bit on the dryer side... i prefer a softer bun. BUT the cottage fries were delish and i like that the plate came with a pickle! it's a good burger don't get me wrong but not my favorite. the spot is cozy and was packed by 5:45 so clearly it's very well attended! read more

Man, that burger had some funk on it! For years I've been hearing about the burger at Red Hook Tavern. I heard of Billy Durney, he's a BBQ expert and owns Hometown Barbecue. I've been there and loved the BBQ. It's time to try the Dry Aged Burger. My wife and I have tickets to see the Eagles and I want to have a nice dinner before the show. She's looking to go back to Hometown Barbecue but I'd like to try Red Hook Tavern. A pub style spot to have a nice cocktail and get down with the famous Dry Aged Burger. We're seated and I ordered up some outrageous cocktails. I started with the Isle Old Fashioned. There are lots of fun cocktails listed, anything with Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch has my attention. The drink has a splash of Giffard Caribbean Pineapple, allspice dram and jerk bitters. Awesomeness. My burger comes to the table. The Fries are great! They remind me of Roll-N-Roaster Fries, another Brooklyn staple. The bun? Toasted to perfection. The patty is cooked perfectly with a nice crunchy sear. I know its dry aged but damn, that is one hell of a burger. The melted cheese, it wasn't all gooey and dripping from the sides, it was abundant on top. There was an elegance to this burger. There's one thing the great chef of France can't do, they can't BBQ. From this Billy, I thank you for the dining experience. read more

The fries were unique they were cut like little ruffle potato chips but taste like your normal fries, which was awesome. Overall beautiful experience I will be back. read more

Red Hook Tavern - Dry Aged Cheeseburger - American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I don't recommend this restaurant, especially not making the trek out to red hook + playing the reservation game + paying $$ all to try the burger, frequently lauded as one of the best in all of NYC. My husband and I were disappointed - burger tasted mostly like salt and pepper and nothing else, not quality dry aged beef, bun wasn't quality either, couldn't taste the cheese, no sauce. I didn't get to try many NYC burgers, but I at least recommend the only other one I had, at golden diner, over this one. French onion soup was forgettable. While I don't want to be too hard on red hook tavern, I do want to save others from a disappointing experience like ours. I wish we hadn't spent one of our only NYC dinners here - I advise others to pick somewhere else. read more

Really excited I got to try the famous Red Hook Tavern burger. We got a resy a few weeks in advance. Their burger doesn't disappoint, it's a thicc, very meaty one and the meat quality really shines through here. It's simple with just onions and cheese on a sesame bun. While the meat quality is really great, I wish there was more to it, as I usually prefer more sauce or smoky-fieriness. Their ham croquettes were very decadent and I enjoyed. I would pass on the french onion soup and go straight for a burger per person. I would also pass on the rainbow cookies, I had heard good things but it tasted like it was in the fridge for a day or two more than it should've been. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed my experience and it is a very solid burger! read more

I was hoping I would be able to write a 5 star review after eating here yesterday, but unfortunately, the experience did not match the hype surrounding Red Hook Tavern. I was saddened to have such a poor experience at a place regarded so highly by Anthony Bourdain. Let's start off with the good stuff. We were able to get seated as a party of three with no reservation in about 5 minutes, by showing up just 20 minutes after they opened. The Maitre D' was strategic in making sure not to seat too many tables all at once, and once we got in, our server Ali was quick to get our drinks in and then our food order of oysters and three burgers. The oysters came and were good, but when the burgers came, everything went South. To start with, a different server other than Ali brought our food over, of just two burgers and a sharing plate. Our party was quite incredulous, but she was confident that was our order. We quickly informed her it was 3 burgers, not two. We then asked which of the two that did arrive was medium, and which was medium-rare? She did not know at first and seemed to guess. She unfortunately got this backwards. We were then told by the same server that she would go check on the other burger. While she was checking we saw several single order burgers go to other diners that came in after us, and it seemed pretty apparent that they had given the burger to someone else accidentally. The same server came back saying the burger would be ready in 5 minutes, which was the first of a few lies. We waited a bit more, until 10 minutes total had passed, and the same server said it would be right out and they were "plating". No explanation was provided about what happened. From this point another 10 minutes passed with still no burger. By this point myself and the other member of our party who got a burger in the initial order had completely finished our food since 20 minutes had gone by, with our third member still having nothing. We then flagged this to the maitre d, but she was quite dismissive saying she needed to help get others seated first and would then go check what happened. When she did finally check, she too said it would be right out and offered no explanation. Finally, 25 minutes after the first two burgers arrived, our third burger arrived as well, this time delivered by Ali. Ali was very apologetic and offered to take our beers off the check for the 3 of us. Ali didn't know what exactly had gone wrong, but she apologized on behalf of the restaurant. We were very grateful for her offer and the burgers were good, but the poor service and lies from the other staff ultimately made this a 2 star experience. Ali did her best to provide good service, but it just didn't seem like the rest of the Red Hook Tavern staff was of the same caliber and up to the task. read more

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! read more

Was so excited to come here with my brother to try their famous burger! We had reservations which I would definitely recommend. We got two diet cokes and two burgers. Nice and simple. My brother and I both agreed they should have fried pickles as an appetizer option on the menu. Based off the fries alone I know they would do a meannnnn fried pickle. The sodas came in old time glass bottles which just tastes better. Not taking arguments at this time. The fries were delectable. Nicely salted. So delicious. The burgers were next level. I think they were definitely worth the hype, but I do think there are probably better burgers out there. That being said, I still highly recommend trying this one. The cheese was perfectly melted and tasted amazing. The flavor was there, but my brother mentioned that he could taste the oil they cooked the burger with in some bites. I don't share that sentiment but wanted to include as something to look out for. The atmosphere of this place was perfect. I felt like I was in a local New Jersey bar (complimentary) and I felt warm and happy and safe there. Wait staff was excellent and kind. Bathroom was clean. Can't wait to come back again! read more

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. read more

Friends surprised me here for my birthday. Apparently they made the reservation a long time ago. I opted for the burger as I've heard great things about it and oh my I did not regret it at all. I've had my fair share of burgers but this was different. It wasn't greasy, it felt clean. My friend got the roast chicken which was bribed for 2 days. I tasted some of it and it was also very delicious. If I could, I would have both along with the tasty rainbow cookies. So glad I didn't pass on it given how full I was.

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. read more

This January was my second time coming to Red Hook Tavern for their legendary burgers. The first time I came was in early 2024 and I was completely blown away by how delicious this very simple burger was. There is no sauce, just white onion, American cheese, a sesame seed bun, and a legendary dry aged beef patty where all the real flavor is. This burger is all about the meat which is aged to perfection and covered in a thick crust of black pepper. The age on the meat gives an almost blue cheese like quality that makes the flavor so interesting. The second time I came, I received my burger but it was very under seasoned and honestly very bland. I turned to my partner to try his burger and his was perfect, the way I remember it when I first tried it. We also got the French onion soup and the fish and chips, both of which were amazing. The French onion soup may have been one of the best I have ever had. Getting a table here can be tough. We walked in without a reservation on a Friday for lunch and were told they would have some seating on the window bar in 45 minutes. We took that time to walk around the street and check out the shops. The restaurant is pretty small but very cozy and clean. I will be coming back again, and again. read more

5:30pm on a Wednesday, bar seat. They did not turn me away this time. Food: 8.5/10 Service: 8.5/10 Ambiance: 8/10 The dry aged cheeseburger is very good. There is a kind of bitter funk at the end because of the dry agedness, but it's fine. It is nice and juicy. It is probably a top ten burger in the city but it does not beat Luger's in my view. Scallops were very delicious and plump. The Waterlily non-alcoholic cocktail was excellent. Pomegranate, ginger, vanilla, and lime. Refreshing and sweet. If you are dining solo at the bar, they like to seat people right next to each other, regardless if there's plenty of empty seats in the middle of the bar. Service was friendly and prompt. Wood paneled interior. The bathroom sink's faucet does not extend far enough into the basin, so it is difficult to wash hands properly. read more

First off, The burger is excellent. Probably my favorite burger from a restaurant in nyc. (I think I prefer 7th Street Burger but that's fast food) The other items are just ok and not really something I'd say are worth going all the way to Red Hook for. If you're someone just visiting the city, there are other places you should be spending your time. Coming here is really up to the individual, bit of a pain to get to, bit of a pain to snag a reservation and very much on the $$ side. read more

I love this place. They do all the things right. When I say all the things, I mean ALL THE THINGS. But here are a few specifics: 1. Meat. The burger is the best in NYC. At $29, it fucking better be, and it truly is. At a time when everyone and their mother is doing smashed double patties (because everyone can, it isn't that difficult), this thick, juicy, perfect-every-goddamn-time dry aged burger is an absolute pleasure. Laid on a crisp, buttered bun with sliced white onion and American cheese completely and exquisitely melted across the entire visible surface, it needs no condiments. It doesn't even need the incredible wedges it used to be served with, nor the excellent cottage fries that seem to be its regular accompaniment now. It needs nothing. It just is. I've eaten it at the bar, I've eaten it at a table, I've eaten it at the tables on the street, and I've taken it out to go eat in the park down the street by the water, during the height of the pandemic when we weren't allowed to eat in restaurants. This is as good as burgers get. I do not say this lightly. I fucking LOVE burgers, and this is the one I want to eat on my deathbed. It may hasten me getting there, but I don't care. Red Hook Tavern will also prepare a steak as perfectly as you've had anywhere. There's always a special, and it's also going to break the bank, but if you need a beautiful slab of beef you can't go wrong. 2. Service. Every single person I've dealt with here has been on point. Specific shout outs go to the bartenders, and the sommeliers (maybe I'm partial to people that give me alcohol). I believe my favorite of the latter was named Rebecca, and she was pregnant not too long ago. Now I know that you can still trust a pregnant somm, so I've got that going for me. Speaking of... 3. Booze. The winelist is excellent. The martinis are perfect (although they aren't the buckets you get at most old steakhouses, they are perfectly housed in their non-martini glasses - a choice I can respect). 4. Non-meat. We've had oysters, and shrimp cocktail, and the stellar country ham croquettes. We've had salads, and pastas, and the fish and chips. I've never been sad about any of it. 5. Atmosphere. It's a tavern I want to spend time in. I'd live in here if I could afford it. My only complaint is the barstools are a bit uncomfortable for me, personally. Something about them cuts my circulation off, but I imagine that's by design so I don't sit here and drink until I order another burger. Basically, Billy Durney can do no wrong. Between this and Hometown, he's responsible for 95% of my meat consumption in Red Hook, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Come here. Or don't. I don't care. I'm tired of not being able to get a table anyway. read more
