I returned to the Good Fork after a multi year gap and was both surprised and sorely disappointed with the brunch offerings. This used to be my favorite place in Red Hook in the summer months, but everything was off the mark on a recent visit. The veggie burger was bland despite a kimchi add on, the curry on the fries had a peculiar sweetness, and the eggplant mash was unpleasantly sour (and a measly portion at that).

Amazing menu that changes every so often. The cheesesteak is always a great choice and on the menu!

The best thing we ever did was miss the IKEA ferry back to Manhattan and stumbled upon this gem, tucked away near the waterfront. They have only been opened six weeks since this writing and the locals were pouring in on a Saturday afternoon in the last week of august, while everyone else was heading out of town. The drinks and conversations were familiar and welcoming and you could tell this place will be the place to be in the coming weeks with years ahead. There is outside seating as charming and cozy as the bar inside. We did not have time to dine, but checking out the kitchen and seeing how everything was moving like a flock of starlings in fall, I have no doubt the menu is delicious. Run... don't walk to this place.

Steak and Egg Korean Style Roasted Free-Range Chicken
Michelle S.

The Good Fork .. was a pleasant discovery I made while driving in the area. It looked so cozy and homey, I hopped on yelp to check out the menu (it was fit my taste buds!). I was seated in a cozy booth in the corner with my boyfriend which I really appreciated! What we ordered: dumplings, steak & egg korean style, and the roasted free-range chicken. I highly recommend the steak & egg korean style cooked medium rare. I love any kind of steak but you can tell a steak is amazing when it's buttery and flavor radiates off of it. Thats how the steak is at The Good Fork. I almost ordered another one! This entree is paired with a salad of apples and greens which tartness balanced out the savory. The kimchee fried rice was okay, not too impressionable, but the steak definitely made up for it. As for the roasted free-range chicken, the meat was tender and NOT DRY. I really enjoyed the potato parsnip mash which help accentuate the chicken's flavor. But the steak is still the overall winner! For dessert, we ordered Steve's Key Lime pie. I've actually tried Steve's Key Lime pie at a food market before but somehow it tasted even better this time. I thought it was really cute they shaped the cream into a lime and presented it on top of the slice. 10/10. The service at The Good Fork is pretty good and I have no complaints. I am going to be returning!

Mussels in coconut milk

The atmosphere is very warm and intimate. Came here on a whim because I was near the area and hungry. It so happened to be just right before the restaurant opened for dinner. The lovely hostess was gracious and seated us before they began serving. I shared the chive dumplings, mussels in coconut milk and my date had the pappardelle with ragu. The food was good. I'm used to excellent dumplings having grown up in flushing, queens, so I had high expectations. I appreciated the taste of the dumpling wrapper, but the filling was not outstanding. Still good, though. This place is pretty popular. Once we entered the restaurant, at least 4 groups came in after us. Reservations aren't required, but are highly recommended.

Came here the other night with some friends for dinner. It's a cute restaurant! Since we came on a random cold Tuesday night the restaurant was pretty empty for the most part we had the back room of the restaurant all to ourselves. Which was great! The service here was good. The waitress was very accommodating and was able to recommend dishes. She also came back to see how we liked our food and see how everything was. The food was delicious as well. Since it was burger night the burger came with everything, a side of fries or onion rings and a glass of beer for $20 which is great! A couple of my friends ordered the burger and loved it. I had the homemade pasta with oxtail in a creamy sauce. That was delicious as well. My other friend had the chicken with the parsnip purée. Overall We had a great experience here. Would definitely come back again.

The line for Hometown BBQ dragged back to its hometown. Brooklyn Crab was filled to the gills with day drinkers and crustacean lovers. The Good Fork was opening momentarily so we figured it would be easy to walk in for dinner. Easy, it was. It was a solid meal though somewhat forgettable. The restaurant itself is cute with a backyard area covered with string lights. There are two rooms within the restaurant, one that overlooks the backyard, and the one where you walk in, which is somewhat dark because it doesn't receive natural lighting. Yelp describes The Good Fork as eclectic. I would call it Korean fusion, which doesn't always necessarily work. I think The Good Fork skirts the line pretty well between crazy concoctions and respectable food. I only wish it was executed better. Four of us shared a variety of dishes. My boyfriend and I shared the vegetable scallion pancake [$14] which, if you're looking for a traditional Asian pancake, it is not this. The pancake was drizzled in various sauces and was fried. It was not overly wet nor greasy. Perhaps, it could have used a little more seasoning. It was a good size to share between two people and it satiated us. I had the Korean Steak and Eggs [$30] which I thought was passable. The steak, cooked medium, was delicious but the kimchi fried rice on the side was lukewarm and was not particularly sour. I think the waitress waited until all the entrees were ready before serving them to our group. The sunny side up egg was just runny enough to spill over the rice, but only just. My friends got the burger, I probably should have gotten that too and for half the price. I also ordered the rhubarb and strawberry cobbler [$9] for dessert (spring!) but my excitement was quickly dashed. It looked like it was thrown onto the plate from the baking pan. Let's call it rustic. It was tasty but it was hard to cut through the rhubarb, while the rest of the pastry was kind of soggy. My friends had Steve's Key Lime Pie (which is also located in Red Hook). I thought the lime flavor was muted, versus what you get at the actual shop, which I've been to. I had the Carpe Diem [$12] which is a margarita with jalapeño and other fruit flavors. It was quite good! All in all, the check came to close to $200 for four people before tip. Yikes.

They had a bunch of collabs with other breweries so their taps were filled with wonderful selection of cool beers. I got here when it opened grabbed a seat at the bar. I didn't catch her name but the bartender was super nice and we chatted a bit. This bar has two tvs in the bar area and some tables in the back. It also has an outdoor area which I did not get to check out unfortunately. The only downside is, is that there is no food served here. But the upside is that you can get free Pop-corn! If you have not been here before, I would suggest stopping by. By the way whoever does their social media is super great!

But the reason I keep coming back - the sheer selection of incredible and unique beers (and reasonably priced for that manner!). Everything from the desthil spicy sour pickle beer to many variations to le chouffe, you can't go wrong! Oh and they have free popcorn as well... tough to pass up! Service has always been friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. I can already see myself back there for the next time I'm craving some delicious craft beer!

The energy was more mature which I preferred in a sports bar. Tons of benches, some bar seating and pool tables in the back. Lots of tvs as well, saw all the March Madness games playing.

We were debating between regular wings or smoked and best decision of the night was picking the smoked wings. It was crisp and not too saucy, keeping the wings as the key. Both the steak sandwich and burger were very good and well priced. I wish the burger was bigger though. Service: 5/5 There was only one waitress and one bartender at the time, but service was very quick. We did not have to wait for anything. Ambiance: 5/5 We were looking for a sports bar to eat at before going to the Nets game. Fulton Hall is only few minutes walk from Barclays. It was not crowded at all and was perfect to relax and grab a bite before going to the game.

Was here for Saint Patrick's Day and it was bumping! Energy was at an all time high! It was a bit…read morechaotic but found a seat in like 10 minutes. The venue is pretty spacious they have a back dining area, a big bar when you enter and a full bar upstairs. There's a ton of televisions if you are watching sports as well. They have a pretty deep beer menu which I loved. The food menu is Irish influenced bar bites. We had the wings which were nice and crispy. The center of attention was the waffle fries nachos. You can't go wrong with a potato vehicle to fresh toppings. All and all great fun spot for sports and gatherings. Also this is a melting pot. Various ages, groups, backgrounds, saw a few families. All are welcome. One flaw is St. Patty it appeared that our waiter who was superb was the only one working so it was a bit of chase to close out.

Solid Irish pub....i have only been here at lunch (I don't go out at night much if I'm not blowing…read moretrumpet at a gig or rehearsal). In general, I like the mellow / peaceful vibes of outer borough NYC Irish pubs at lunchtime. McMahon's did not disappoint. Solid buffalo chicken wings & good burger. I am also post fries (I will try one or two of yours, but I don't need an order of fries for myself.), so can't comment on the fries. They also make a mean Caesar salad. The Caesar & buffalo wings are pretty much my metric for all Irish pubs. McMahon's would def be in the upper 50th percentile. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends. I feel like, if you read between the lines, it's people coming in groups when it's busy acting entitled. The staff at lunch has been nothing but courteous, w/ excellent service. Also, very clean inside, & food was good quality / fresh ingredients. There are almost no Irish pubs in this area open for lunch anymore at all - thank goodness this is a good one!
