The Red Hook Diner

"The Red Hook Diner is a great place to stop for a tasty meal. We had great mimosas with our brunch, which is not often the case at diners. The service was excellent, and the place was immaculate."

"DO NOT GO HERE! I went there with a friend and we ordered only to find flies in my soup. When I, PRIVATELY, reported it to the owner, he clearly mentioned removing my entire food cost from our bill. Then, the waitress had THE NERVE to ask me if I wanted another bowl. Lady, I don't want your fly soup from that disgusting pot. Why would I ask for a second bowl of it? WHO KNOWS HOW MANY FLIES I ALREADY ATE, THINKING IT WAS DRYING CRUNCHY ONION TIPS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BURNT ON THE SIDE OF THE POT TO KEEP IT HOT!!! This goes to show that they did NOT throw that pot out, but rather kept serving other guests that same soup!!! Next, the waitress gave me a disgusting (tasted like the dressing is spoiling) ceasar salad. I just gagged. To make matters even worse, when we go to pay the very owner who the servers went to go get to look at my fly food pretended he don't know anything. Perhaps I shouldn't have told him privately. I should've made it loud and clear for everyone to hear. Then he had the nerve to tell the waitress to charge me for the whole meal that I couldn't even eat!!! The whole time, my friend and I were in shock. He kept sneakily looking at us sideways, hoping we wouldn't make a scene because other customers were eating the same thing. DO NOT GO EAT THERE. Tell your family and friends. Lots of other places around. RUN!!"

"Clean inviting environment, with friendly staff and astronomical speed. The food was excellent. Give the Black Russian Sandwich a go!"

"It was busy on a Sunday at lunch. I had high hopes, but was disappointed. Everyone has a standard for breakfast food and maybe upstate New York doesnt do it like they do in the midwest and anyone's explanation as to why would only be the expression of their own subjective values. That said, this menu was a mess. Way too big. It becomes clear that when a restaurant does it all, none of it is very exceptional. The food was fine, the service was great."

"We went around 2:30pm on a Saturday, place was not crowded and it was brightly lite. They have a small selection of desserts right at the front, everything looked fresh. The fried seafood platter was good, fish and scallops were fried golden brown and tasted fresh. The turkey burger was not the best, it tasted bland, the fries was perfect. Our waitress was absent after she served us, she was very nice, and got our order to us quick. OH! they have good coffee. We will visit again in the summer and try something else."
