A visit to Red Hook Lobster Pound feels like an excursion to Maine. Here, the lobsters are fresh, the trek from the nearest subway will make you feel accomplished, and its waterfront neighborhood (that feels extra isolated from the rest of Brooklyn thanks to a nearby highway), also conjures mini-getaway vibes. In addition to their signature Lobster Rolls available in five varieties, order up any of your favorite seafood items like clams, oysters, chowder, seafood boils, and even Lobster Cheese Fries.
Special lunch and dinner offerings on weekdays only (January 17 to February 10): Lunch at $45 per person includes appetizer choices of three chowders: New England Clam, Downeast, or Manhattan Clam; and entree choices like the Lobster Grilled Cheese, Crab Cake Sandwich, or Hook Cheeseburger. Dinner at $60 per person includes appetizer choices of three chowders: New England Clam, Downeast, or Manhattan Clam; entree choices like the New England Seafood Boil, Classic Lobster Roll, or Dungeness Crab Dinner; and dessert options are Chocolate Mousse, S’mores, or Banana Mousse.

Hook Burger
Seeing a burger on a menu at a lobster roll spot is kind of like seeing a platter of seared scallops on a 24-hour diner menu. But don’t let that thinking steer you away here. Red Hook Lobster Pound griddles and butters its buns on both sides, meaning along with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and a “special sauce,” the thick, dry-aged short rib, chuck, and brisket blend patty gets an extra-toasted accompaniment.
