The is the whole reason to go. It's dry-aged and simple, and people love the grilled onion and the peppery crust. Order it medium, since medium rare comes out closer to rare. The are the common complaint, a small pile and pretty mid next to a $29 . A minority finds the too salty and too plain.

“And red hook tavern was the best burger I’ve had in NYC, hands down. Loved the way they grilled the onion and put it on the bottom. Also had the cavatelli, romaine wedge, and French onion soup. Everything was great.”
