I’ve been to Red Hook Lobster Pound twice now, and both visits were consistently excellent. The seafood was incredibly fresh, the dishes were flavorful, and the happy hour was genuinely worth it. The lobster was clearly fresh, well prepared, and fairly priced—which is always appreciated.

The happy hour oysters and drinks were a highlight and made the experience even better without feeling gimmicky. Everything tasted high quality and thoughtfully done.

A big shout-out to Aissa, Mason, and Luke, who were fantastic hosts and servers. Their recommendations were spot-on, and their service went above and beyond without being overbearing. They really made the experience enjoyable.

I would absolutely recommend Red Hook Lobster Pound to any seafood lover looking for great food, a fun happy hour, and excellent service. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to!

Love the food! Everything here is so fresh and delicious. The Lobster Mac & Cheese is my absolute favorite, but the Lobster Roll, Fish & Chips are all tasty and S’mores is delicious! The atmosphere is great, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is super friendly and helpful, making the dining experience even better. If you’re in the area, you won’t regret stopping by!

Delicious lobsters and appetizers.
We had the Maine lobster and Connecticut lobster roll. It was delicious. I’d recommend getting the lime ranch on the side as a dip.
Loved the calamari too.
It’s a little pricey, but I think it’s worth it.

I came to see what all the hype was about, but left wondering what I missed. The Connecticut lobster roll, which cost over $50, didn’t deliver the buttery punch I expected. If I’m paying that kind of price, I want flavor that grabs me; not something forgettable.

The oysters were okay, but I’ve had better. Calamari was heavy on the batter and lacked the crispiness I like. Tacos? Meh—just so-so. And the lobster bisque came out lukewarm, which really dulled the richness it should’ve had.

Service didn’t help either. It wasn’t busy, yet I had to wave down our server multiple times just to get basic attention. That kind of inattentiveness really takes away from the experience.

Honestly, I’d rather track down a Cousins Maine Lobster truck and call it a day. Better flavor and no need to play hide-and-seek with the staff.

Was looking for lobster roll in Brooklyn after key lime pie. The lobster could have been sweeter, and with more melted butter.

The seafood boil was fine, good mix of items

This place was ok, but expensive! We were visiting from Tx and doing some site seeing. We took a ferry to Redhook to try this restaurant. The ferry ride was pretty cheap and we did get to see the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s Island along the way. Once we arrived we had to walk to get to any restaurant/bar… they were no where near the dock. Also, we did make a reservation beforehand, but didn’t have any issues checking in early and getting seated. The staff were friendly and the outdoor seating was ok, so we thought, but after sitting there for dinner and hearing the cars honking and speeding by (outdoor seating is literally on the street) we were rethinking our choice. As far as the food goes… it was wasn’t worth the time/money (almost $300 for 4 people) we spent. If you’re on a budget, this place is not for you.
Also, a lot of the shops were closed early, so there wasn’t much to do except drink alcohol or eat. Not what we were expecting! Our fault for not researching more before heading over to Redhook.

Red Hook Lobster Pound has some real highlights and a few misses, but I’d definitely go back.

The lobster roll was a win—meaty, flavorful, and perfectly toasted. One of the better ones I’ve had in NYC. The drink I had alongside it was super refreshing and really hit the spot.

I also tried the crab dip, which I was excited for, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. It was seasoned well and tasted good with the chips, but the actual crab flavor was barely there. It felt like it was drowned in the creamy mix, and the crab just disappeared in it.

The seafood boil with crab legs and corn looked great but unfortunately had no seasoning—completely bland, with zero flavor. Wouldn’t order that again.

Still, the vibe was good, and the lobster roll alone makes it worth a visit. I’d go back and try more of the menu—just steering clear of the boil next time.

Absolutely delicious! I ordered the CT roll and it was incredible — fresh, buttery, and packed with flavor. The lobster was perfectly cooked and the portion was generous. On top of that, the service was smacking — super friendly, quick, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best lobster rolls I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!

We come at least once a month. We stick to the basics, A lobster dinner with an extra lobster for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children). We get a side salad to augment and a key lime pie to end. We highly recommend and we’ll see you there!

Walked in on a Friday afternoon and got seated quickly. Service was great- staff was kind and attentive. I dropped a knife and a male server came with a new utensil set right away which I appreciated.

We got started with the Lobster Claw Bloody Mary and that was yummy. I’m usually particular with my Bloody Marys but this one was good, and it came with a pickle and a lobster claw!

For our meal, we got the two Lobster Rolls special with a starter and dessert for $125. We got the Maine and California Lobster roll, Mussels & Ciabatta to start, and a Key Lime Pie for dessert + we added the Garlic Biscuits too. The mussels and biscuits were AMAZING. The mussels were so fresh with an amazing fennel & garlic sauce. The biscuits were so hot and soft and moist! We devoured them so quickly, it needed no sauce. The lobster rolls were a tad bit disappointing for a place called Lobster Pound. It was good but nothing outstanding especially for the price ($40-50 is crazy). Our appetizers stood out so much to us and I’m sure the other food would be delicious as well, but the lobster rolls did not live up to my expectations. The dessert was good. They source it from a nearby shop that specializes in key lime pies and it was very soft and not too sweet which I enjoyed.

I would for sure come back to try the rest of the menu!
