What else would you get besides the rolls? Go Connecticut style ... butter poached, served warm without any unnecessary mayo . Roll is toasty & buttery and you will leave full after one of these babies!
Must eat: Lobster dinner w potato salad , cole slaw , & corn on cob and/or Maine-style lobster roll . 15min walk from IKEA. Take IKEA ferry over from Pier 11 in city--it's free on weekends!
Craving a lobster roll , but can't make it to Maine? You won't be disappointed with the Maine (house-made mayo ) or Connecticut (butter) lobster rolls made with a 1/4 lb of fresh knuckle and claw meat!
The lobster rolls were amazing plus we shared some fried pickles that were made just right! RHLP is the perfect low-key, good beer , great food, small-seaside-town-like place to enjoy with friends.
Lobster , Salmon , Oysters . ALL the choices are excellent, and the staff is truly attentive to your needs. If I could give this place an 11, I would. Don’t forget the Wednesday Lobster fest.
Greatest Lobster Rolls on the planet!The Mac&Cheese is to die 4! Lobster Cheese fries FANTASTIC!! Peel&Eat Shrimp AMAZING!The menu is great you can’t go wrong with anything!Love this place!!
The feeling you get diving into the Steamed Lobster Dinner at the indoor picnic tables at the OG location is magical! Also, order the Maine Lobster Roll , too! No one will judge you!
Tuscan lobster roll was amazing! Fresh and wonderfully mmmmm. Sweet potato fries and lemonade also spot on. Great casual vibe in the next door dining area.
Really nice place, amazing vibes. Fresh good food. Very family friendly definitely coming back
Best seafood in the city !! I didn't think I would like lobster rolls , but these guys surprised me. Really great, casual ambience and service. Plus the chowder , which sucks elsewhere, is pretty tasty.
Choose between the Maine- and Connecticut-style rolls at this cult-favorite New York establishment. Word on the street is it sells up to 5,000 rolls on a good summer day. Read more
If you're a party of 2 The Poundster is the way to go. I'd suggest opting for a side of Slaw and Potato Salad . There isn't much with The Poundster that isn't meat.
Summertime (so they say), so go for the DIY kit, your favorite bubbles & create your own oasis. Great Value even 1/2 kit (at least 4). Perfect for picnic , beach or apt terrace . #lobsterroll
Classy spot , great atmosphere. Lobster roll was small for the $, even the LBLT option. Small but inspired cocktail menu . Overall, nice experience, 7/10
Village Voice is proud to welcome Red Hook Lobster Pound to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. Try some of Maine's freshest Lobsters right here here in New York!
I love the Connecticut but my husband enjoyed the fried Lobster Roll surprisingly.
Connecticut roll with sweet potato fries was fantastic. Super freaky mirrors in the bathroom !!!!
Get the Maine-style lobster roll and ask for it with no lettuce if you don't like roughage on your roll. One of the best in the city .
This is my favorite lobster roll in the city--and they've added a new dining room area so there's a little more ambiance now. But you can always take it down to the waterfront for a picnic .
Lobster BLT roll, lot aster mac&cheese & fried oyster rockefeller — do it all. Also, can't go wrong with $12 pitchers ????
The lobster is great. The bathroom in the back has three lawn chairs facing the toilet in case you feel like performing a soliloquy.
Try Connecticut rool (absolutely not over cooked), fried pickles and banana pudding ( Texas style and perfect)
Lobster rolls are good in here, not my favourite but a good option in red hook. I would rather prefer luke’s lobsters if getting lobster rolls in a fast food manner! But still enjoyable!
This place has the best lobster roll ever! My favorite is the Maine style . Tons of fresh lobster meat, on a perfectly grilled roll with a touch of mayo .
Lobster roll is a must get! Definitely get a lobster mac and cheese on the side! There's no such thing as too full when it comes to lobster !
Lobster rolls , lemonade (some of the best in NYC), and the potato salad are all super legit. Love their new expanded menu.
The best thing is Lobster week, this year 9/19-25, when a 1.5 lb lobster dinner with corn and potatoes is only $25! Beer & Rose , $5.
Try the Maine-style lobster roll , highlighting fresh lobster lightly seasoned with homemade mayo and a touch of lemon , served on a split J.J. Nissen bun . A contender in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more
Fried oysters were amazing, the Connecticut lobster rolls and the funnel cake were all amazing!!
Lobster dinner here was exactly what it should be, steamed hard-shelled lobster from Maine, corn on the cob, potatoes , a little slaw . Perf.
Check their nightly deals. How about Lobster 2 for 1 Wednesday? Party space available. Bar , pretty well stocked selection. Try Lobster + Bacon = O.M.G!!!
Best lobster roll in NY and it's $16. Grilled bun with perfecly cooked chunks of freshly made lobster . A new location is coming to Bowery.
Perfect. Bartenders , food, drinks, options, everything. Must do in BK
Bikers: they have a few benches outside if you'd rather eat by your bike . Also, the lobster roll is a refreshing, light meal if you're on a long ride.
Lobster , of course. My wife thought the chicken sandwich was also good.
The freshest of fresh. This casual Red Hook spot has one of the best lobster rolls in the city . Get one with a bag of chips and the blueberry soda . Yum!

Best lobsters around. One of the few spots around where you can buy fantastic, fresh lobster at a reasonable price.
The bloody Mary’s are fantastic. The lobster rolls must be what heaven tastes like
Because sometimes we need to have a lobster roll at inconvenient hours, we love that Red Hook Lobster Pound sells their signature lobster salad and packages of J.J. Nissen buns from Maine to go.
Some of the best French fries I've ever had. Seasoned with salt and pepper .
Go on Wednesday for the $25 lobster dinner and $1 oysters before 7pm ????
Bib not required to chow down on one of their Connecticut style lobster rolls . Just lobster and butter! Pure deliciousness from the buttered, crunchy bun to the thick and hearty helpings of lobster .
