Red Hook Lobster Pound

Want the Maine lobster shack experience but don't have the time to actually drive to Maine? Red Hook is your "Maine" connection! Okay, enough cheesy jokes (although their lobster cheese fries are loaded with cheese). This place is serious about their lobsters and lobster rolls. During our first visit, we had the "Maine Event". We discovered that we don't really like lobster rolls (cold sandwiches aren't really our thing), and we would rather peel our own lobsters. Ever since then, we've stuck to the seafood boil with lobster. The lobsters here are so fresh that the meat pops right out of the shell. If you absolutely don't want to peel your own seafood, the lobster rolls are good, and are all stuff to the brim with lobsters. Actually, most of the dishes are stuffed full of seafood. We find the other seafood (shrimp, clams, mussels, and oysters) are okay, but lobster is really the "Maine" character at this restaurant. P.S. If you don't want seafood, the Hook Burger is also quite good.

This place is great!! They sell live lobsters on the side. The bathroom is very cool - it is this round ship styled contraption. The bar is great with lots of room and quality beers. The food is diverse and creative with different variations of lobster rolls and great French fries!!!

Loved the sea food here. Definitely recommend the chowder. The lobster rolls are fantastic. Good service and nice decor. The location can be a bit far from the nearest train stop. I would recommend it for a lazy Saturday afternoon lunch/ brunch.

My 1st experience her and it was a delight! The lobster was succulent and cooked properly, most important! Oh and the staff was amazing ! Cheery and helpful! Wish all servers were like them! Our server's name was Ely! Amazing! Chad was wonderful as well! Small place but feels roomy maybe because of the tall ceiling? Oh! And the one bathroom that I was aware of was immaculate! Great place!
