The Good Fork Pub

A pretty cool little pub-restaurant-hang-out spot in Red Hook, not far from the Louis Valentino, Jr. Park. It’s a large place, with a bar, indoor dining room, back outdoor dining area, and side dining area with a stage for performances. I came out on a Sunday while visiting friends in Brooklyn. The bands The Thing and Figure of Fun played, and there was a children’s craft area, and families hanging out. Good times! Had some Miller High Life and a chicken Caesar salad that really hit the spot. The Caesar dressing here is really good, and they use in-store rotisserie chicken, getting it perfectly juicy before plating.

I tried to walk in at Red Hook Tavern to try their famous burgers, but there was no luck getting a table. After searching on Google for nearby burger spots in Red Hook, I found The Good Fork Pub — and it did not disappoint. The restaurant had a nice, steady crowd, and the food came out quickly and exactly as ordered. Definitely a great spot for burgers and drinks. Highly recommend checking it out!

This place never disappoints. The food is always good; the staff is always friendly and the ambiance is always welcoming and relaxed. Recommend the smash burger; the kimchi and phili steak sandwich; the fries ( any of them ) and the Ceasars salad. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything offvthe menu.

Food was delicious!! Drinks were great.. we tried a little bit of everything. Fried chicken and Brussels were my favorite..&& The Fries were perfectly crisp. Everyone was super friendly, amazing service. We went while they were holding the 481 Fire Fundraiser.. There was live entertainment. A few bands played The Thing, Figure of Fun, Rabbit Hole

5 stars I stumbled into The Good Fork Pub while exploring Red Hook, and it ended up being the highlight of my day. There’s something about this place that just feels right—cozy, welcoming, and full of personality. The staff was warm and attentive without hovering, and you could tell they genuinely cared about the food and the vibe. I had their double smash burger and wow—easily one of the best I’ve had in the city. Crispy-edged patties, melty cheese, the perfect ratio of bun to meat, and that house sauce tied everything together beautifully. It was indulgent without being over-the-top, just pure burger bliss. I also tried the Korean-style steak & eggs, which was just as impressive. Perfectly cooked steak, rich yolky eggs, and a seasoning profile that packed serious flavor. Their cocktails are no joke either—thoughtfully crafted and strong in all the right ways. The menu blends comfort food with creative twists, and you can tell there’s real heart behind every dish. What I love most is how local it feels—like a true Red Hook gem that hasn’t gone overly trendy or lost its soul. If you're in the neighborhood, The Good Fork Pub is an absolute must. I forgot their names but the entire staff were amazing. It was a pleasure meeting them all. I will be returning.

One of my favorite places in Brooklyn. Great cocktails and beers. Live music on weekends in the gorgeous garden. And the food is GREAT. A really homey place.

Im gonna be honest, this was awful in so many ways. I ordered a "smash burger" and got what was frozen patties on a soggy bun. Not smashed at all, somehow light gray on the top and bottom, burnt on the edges, and raw in the middle. Fries were soggy and had zero seasoning, the only thing I asked the server for the whole time I was there was some salt, never got it. Also made modifications to the burger all of which were ignored. Girlfriend got Shepards pie and liked it fine which is the only reason the food isn’t getting a 1. However, on top of all this, a burger and fries, a shepards pie with no sides, and one beer was over $70 not including the tip. I took my left overs (which was basically my entire meal) and ended up throwing them out down the street, didn’t want to feel like I lit $70 on fire but I decided to just take the loss. The servers were nice which is the ONLY silver lining, but considering I never got the only thing I asked for, can’t give the service a good score. Truly disappointed in every aspect and won’t be returning.
