Dusty S.Dusty Springfield: KCBC Snackin’ Kraken Fruited Sour / Dry Aged Red Hook Tavern Burger (American cheese, white onion, frites)

F. B.F. Bastard: Strikingly friendly and cheerful service. The burger’s as good as everyone says it is. I still don’t get serious chef’s devotion to American cheese. Wish RHT offered an alternative.

Alyssa B.Alyssa B.: The Dry Aged Burger ($28) when ordered Medium has deep flavors of umami, peppery w/ subtle sweetness from the meat itself & white onion, w/ creamy melted American cheese. Bun holds well. Worth trying!
