Red Hook Tavern offers a great vibe with friendly staff. Annette, an original Brooklynite, provides excellent service. The location on a nice Red Hook street adds to the experience. The burger, though juicy with a perfect meat to cheese ratio, had a slightly oversized bun. Despite this, the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food make for a pleasant dining experience. Recently, visitors have praised the simplicity of the burger, especially when cooked medium rare with salt and pepper, noting the char and toasted bun as highlights. The grilled prawn has also been described as delicious. Service is attentive, with guests often getting seated quickly, even at the bar. The restaurant is known for its best burger in NYC or even the USA, with some customers traveling from afar and appreciating the reservation-only bar seating, which staff members like manager Phil and bartender Connor handle well. The atmosphere is casual, and the food is highly satisfying, with some guests mentioning they were full after just a burger, cocktail shrimp, and drinks. The French onion soup and pasta are also popular choices, with the pasta cooked perfectly al dente. Seating can be tight, but the overall vibe remains great, making it a place many want to return to. For out-of-towners, visiting on a Wednesday might mean no wait, as the restaurant is reservation-only, but staff are accommodating for takeout orders.
