Best

This is the one and only place I will go for a steak. I save up for a little then splurge on the porter house and a few glasses of Cabernet. Yes that is a good comination :)

Worst

Maybe it was the build up from everybody telling me if you like steak you have to go to Peter Luger's. Well it wasn't worth it. The steak was good but I've had much better. I'v...

SELF EMPLOYED 5/10/2003

IF YOU EVER WANTED TO EAT A STEAK THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO TO. THE FOOD AND SERVICE ARE FAR ABOVE MANY WHO SAY THEY ARE THE BEST. THE FOOD EVEN THOUGH A LITTLE PRICEY IS JUST INCREDIBLE FROM APPETIZERS TO DESSERTS. ALWAYS MY FAVORITE. Pros: FOOD, SERVICE Cons: ALWAYS CROWDED, NEED RESERVATIONS more

Incredible! 4/24/2003

If you're not looking for a pretentious atmosphere and a restaurant that serves the best steak you've ever eaten...then this is the place for you. The porterhouse melts in your mouth and fills your entire pallet with amazing flavors. Granted, the service is course ...but its all part of the atmosphere. If you want to be spoiled with service and attention then this is not the place for you. Pros: Food, Prompt, Comfortable more

Steak Lovers Need Only Apply 4/14/2003

If you want old school NY service and a great steak, this is the place to be. The bacon and spinach are also great. Don't expect to be pampered here and the price is right if you compare it to Manhattan steak houses. more

Top notch steakhouse 3/28/2003

Top steakhouses are what they are. They aren't elegant. They aren't cheap. I've been to most in NY and recently went to Luger's. I was a bit worried after reading the reviews. I found the steak and sides to be the best of the big steakhouses. I like the no frills decor, and thought the service was fine and relatively friendly. Don't go to Luger's if you are looking for elegance and refinement, but don't go to Sparks, the Palm or any of the others either. Pros: fantastic steak Cons: location more

yikes 3/9/2003

our waiter spilled an entire glass of water on my brother and didn't so much as acknowledge it, let alone apologize. the steaks are mediocre, the steak sauce is sickeningly sweet and the wait is way too long, even with a reservation. i don't need to ""deal with it"" when i'm paying a fortune for it. Cons: rude service more

For Steak Lovers Only 2/24/2003

Only a true steak lover can look past the decor and location, and truly enjoy this place for what it serves: the best steak in the world. Bacon and shrimp cocktail appetizers, Porterhouse for ""number of people seated +2"", hash browns, cream spinach and the Holy Cow Sundae. Don't know why you would order anything else. A true health concern if it were not ""all the way in Brooklyn"". Pros: Steak Cons: Location, Decor, Price more

Not impressed!!! 2/22/2003

We went to the one in Long Island and were not impressed. Steak was good but not much else to order. We only saw 2 - 3 boring appitizers on the menu and not a lot of choices of meat to select from. Service was definitely not friendly we felt we were rushed out. Pros: Good steak Cons: Not enough selections, Bad service more

Best of the best, no question 2/11/2003

This is the best steak you will ever have, hands down. If you don't believe me, ask Zagat or Gourment magazine, who rate it as #1. For all of the reviewers who give it a 2 or 3 or God forbid a 1, go back to Outback Steakhouse so I can get a reservation more easily. Beautiful meat, perfectly cooked. Tell me how many other places you can go where you can cut your porterhouse with a fork. And about the ambiance-- it's a classic steakhouse with no froufrou, as it should be. Pros: Steak, Steak, Steak more

the best steak on the planet 2/11/2003

I've eaten at a long list of ""Top Ten Steakhouses"" over the past 25 years, and nothing can touch the steak you get here--this is the benchmark. The perfectly aged atmosphere is just a bonus to the perfectly aged steak. Make mine tomatoes and onions, steak for two, hash browns, creamed spinach, and schlag. People who complain about anything Luger-related are clearly ill-informed dilettantes. more

defiantly overrated 2/9/2003

I went there with my friend from out of town, I had never been and was expecting to impress with ""the best of nyc"", I was unimpressed and so was everyone else, the steak is good for what it is, which is homestyle bbq porterhouse, don't expect anything gourmet, nothing fantastic or out of this world, just a big plate of charred meat, tasty, but nothing great, and defiantly not worth the 98 bucks you paid for it. more

Peter Luger let down 2/8/2003

I went to Peter Luger b/c I love steak and b/c I heard that Peter Luger is the best steakhouse in New York. I have to say that I was not that impressed. I felt that the menu was too limited and that the starters and the sides were only so so. The steak itself was prepared to perfection and tasted fabulous. The atmosphere was fun, but be prepared to wait for a table even with a reservation and this is in no way a leisurely and comfortable place to dine. I will probably not go back any time soon b/c I feel you can great steak at so many places in the city. The bottom line is that the steak is great, but that's about it. Pros: steak Cons: limited menu more

Never again!! 2/5/2003

This over-hyped steak house is nothing great. What's so great about their steak? I think I can do better at home, really. The best description for this restaurant for me is one of those restaurants you visit as a tourist because of its popularity but really doesn't meet your standards. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrific to the point that it's not edible, but it's not worth the hype nor price. more

Hands down...The Best Steak 2/4/2003

True, rule # 1 is never ever ask for a menu. It's as good as writing rookie across your forhead. The trick to the tomato and onions is ask for it light on the onions, heavy on the tomatoes, order steak for one less person than you have in your party and if the steak is too rare, you can cook the individual pieces more by placing them on the platter around the edges. Pros: Food Cons: wait for tables more

Simply the best... 1/31/2003

Im a steakoholic, Im proud of this fact and Im sure Ill never change. I was given the chance to go to Peter Lugar on my birthday last year and it was simply the best steak Ive ever had! There have been close seconds, and even a few that hyped up their creations to be the equal of Peter Lugar, but nothing comes close. Sure there was little there for the vegetarian in my party, but we did not go there for salad! Simply the best steaks! Pros: Great Steaks! Cons: Expensive, Vegetarian's Beware more
