I’ve been wanting to go to red hook tavern for a very long time, I had already convinced myself it would be the absolute best burger I would try in my life … If you go by the pictures / social media / and sadly, reviews - you would think it is the absolute best burger in the world , (it sure looks like it!) … The reality: The beef Pattie is salty (and not flavorful) just salty but it was cooked perfect medium as I requested, the bun seemed to be drenched in butter & toasted (the butter was very overwhelming, I don’t think a burger bun should have any butter to begin with, just a nice fresh Italian roll / or potato bun toasted) this one is overwhelmed in butter … The bacon taste nothing like bacon (although bacon is optional), it literally taste like ham) … The fries were perfect, loved it! besides this, the place was packed both inside and outside, so they definitely have their following & know what they’re doing and people obviously love their burgers ( because looking around it was what most people were having) … Wish I can say I loved it, but I didn’t, not even kinda. Amazing portions, go there hungry!
