Red Hook Lobster Pound

“This place is a gem. Great staff that are always friendly and attentive. Casual vibe with great food. Always over delivers expectations. $1 oysters for happy hour.”

“I've had this place saved on my Google maps for a few years now, and finally went last weekend on Sunday. This place is a definite GEM! The service was immaculate, and attentive. The food was FANTASTIC, and the atmosphere was comfortable and warm. The lobster rolls are definitely worth the price! And their surf and turf is phenomenal as well. If you do mini golf at Shipwrecked, which isn't far from there, you can get a free clam chowder depending on your score I believe! Is definitely on the prcey side, but worth the damn money! Will be a repeat customer!”

“I am very satisfied with the atmosphere, food, and service at this place. Everything was wonderful and made our experience truly special. Thank you so much for a beautiful evening and for helping us celebrate a birthday in such a memorable way. This is not my first time here, and I will definitely keep coming back. I have never had a negative experience at this place—every visit has been consistently enjoyable. It’s also a great place to visit with children, which makes it even more perfect for families.”

“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!”

“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.”
