BBQ Joint · Red Hook · 348 tips and reviews
Ivy Mahsciao: Get 1 lb of brisket, half a rack of jerked baby backs, the pork belly tacos, baked beans, and Sriracha wings. Hang with the most soulful people in all near and far boroughs, and forget you're in NY!
Noah Weiss: Top 3 bbq in NYC worth the ResdHook trek. Brisket as good at Mighty Quinn's, and a unique lamb belly banh mi sandwich where the sweet and spicy sauce cut the lamb fat perfectly.
On the Grid: The brisket is a must... so is the pulled pork, ribs, any of the sandwiches, sausages, sriracha hot wings, queso mac ‘n’ cheese, cole slaw, beans, collared greens and the corn bread. Ok just have it. Read more.

David Kaplan: Try the Pressed Ham, Provolone And Banana Peppers - Spicy!
karen bonna rainert: Delicious brunch here. The biscuit sandwich is really good with a jalapeño jelly that makes it spicy, sweet and salty all in one sandwich.
jake furst: might be my fave brunch spot in all of NYC. get a side of the jalapeño marmalade and smother whatever you ordered in it. you won't regret it.
Danny Hillman: Came back two days in a row. Turkey sandwich was unreal. Broccoli Rabe and Siracha Honey. Come on.
Aneta Besecker: Their sandwiches are a killer & their coffee is to die for!
The New Yorker: “If a deli is only as good as its egg-and-cheese, Court Street Grocers rules them all: creamy scrambled eggs, melted white Cheddar, arugula, and a split hickory-smoked sausage, on a buttered roll.” Read more.

New American Restaurant · Red Hook · 97 tips and reviews
Sam Rosenberg: More hot sauce.
Inna G: Bimbimbop steak was good and spicy. Skip the salad.
Eunie: Get the bibimbap (mix everything together), dumplings, and French toast! If they have the chicken tinga or pork tostada, get that as well.
Vaughn Allen: get the papusa - one with pork and one with jalapeno. the flower one isn't as good.
Kristin Flip Polidoro: A ton of food options so go w/ a friend and share a couple plates. Try the watermelon sandia drink, beef tostadas, pupusas and then walk to Ikea and take the free water taxi home
jake furst: head over to the vendors and grab a tamale or pupusa, elote (corn with cotija and chili powder) and a watermelon drink. don't fill up here; there are most culinary stops on this tour.
