"Best Lobster Rolls From Across the Country: Red Hook Lobster Pound - This roll is a shout-out to east coast purists: large chunks of Maine lobster is lightly dressed in lemon mayo and sandwiched into a classic hot dog bun."

"America's Best Lobster Rolls: Red Hook Lobster Pound; Brooklyn, NY - This food truck and storefront operation serves its Maine claw and knuckle meat rolls two ways: Maine style, with the lobster dressed in a lemony house-made mayo, or Connecticut style, the meat drizzled with melted butter. To keep things strictly New England, both versions come in a Country Kitchen-brand split-top bun from Maine."

"America’s 20 Best Lobster Rolls Outside of Maine: Red Hook Lobster Pound - Both styles are insanely delicious: Maine-style, served cold with a house-made lemon-spiked mayo, and Connecticut-style, drizzled with clarified butter. Red Hook Lobster has been named the best food truck in America by The Daily Meal, and these are also among the best lobster rolls in America."

"The 8 Best Lobster Rolls In NYC: Red Hook Lobster Pound - Red Hook mixes its meat with just a dab of mayo, and tempts disappointment by adding paprika and scallion but pulls it all off with aplomb. BONUS: the fantastic Fried Lobster Roll."

"Excellent lobster rolls are still the main show, and there are four varieties to pick from: Connecticut (hot, buttered), Maine (cold, mayo), and less-traditional Tuscan (basil vinaigrette) and BLT (you guessed it)."

"They do both types of rolls: the cold one with just a wee bit of mayo and celery chunks, and the Connecticut-style, served warm, grilled in butter, with big ol' red mitten-shaped claw meat hanging. No matter which you get, though we like the cold one in the summer, the lobster meat is tender, delicate, slightly sweet, and piled high in a top-split bun, which they pick up in Biddeford, Maine."
on Lobster Roll
"The only place you can get real live lobsters from some of the best lobstermen and women in Maine is from their flagship in Red Hook. While you’re there, grab a roll just to try it and have it your way: Maine-style is served with homemade lemon-tinged mayo and Connecticut-style is drizzled over with clarified butter."
on Lobster Roll
"Red Hook Lobster Pound gets bonus points for serving the biggest variety of lobster rolls out of any place on this list. But what really makes it stand out, no matter what roll you order, is the attention to detail. The lobster is fresh from Maine, the mayo is homemade, and the sprinkle of paprika and scallions on top add just the right punch of flavor."
