The Good Fork

Cozy, delicious, friendly. I can't ask for more.

Loved the fried chicken and the biscuit. Burger and granola are also great.

Highlight of my meal was roasted butternut squash. I am a card carrying member and president of the anti-squash association, but I cannot deny the greatness of this dish (although the wife was unimpressed)

They close at 10:30, we were seated at 10:16 and got full service
This is a great way to get the famed key lime pie from down the street (#twobirdswithonestone)
Blood orange margarita is worth the price of admission, when else are you going to get that in life

+
Korean steak left a lot to be desired

Distance; Red Hook is so far out, even if you do have a car. The food here is good, but I don't think it's worth the trip, unless you're already in the neighborhood.

TIPS:
- EVERYBODY recommends the dumplings. I was just too full to try them. I do not regret me squash decision, but I simply didn't have space for another app. I guess I have to wait until I'm in the neighborhood again

I do hate long soliloquies on reviews, but I must say I bee trying to go to Good Fork for a number of years. This was one of my absolute must-do/cannot wait to try, but I didn't want to travel all the way out to red hook to do it. With that said, my expectations were extremely high, and this is a positive, well run, good food establishment. I think I was waiting for much more than I received, hence the low rating

My favourite restaurant in all of Brooklyn / New York. Stumbled on this cute find in Red Hook a couple of months ago and have been many times since. American menu with Korean influence. Bibimbop and mussel dishes are stand out favourites. Cocktails are great too.

We came here after a trip to Ikea, and it definitely was worth the few blocks walk.

The service was very friendly and made us feel welcome and relaxed. When you look up in the dining room, you'll see a custom wooden ceiling made by the owner that mimics the inside of a trolley car roof.

ProTip: Go with the homemade dumplings, early girl salad mix and boar shank. Definitely enough food for two. The dumplings were done just right and the boar shank melts in your mouth. Totally fantastic.

Will be back again, even if Ikea is not in the cards.
