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...

DEAL WITH IT 1/29/2003

Rule #1: Don't look at the menu. Steak for (#), creamed spinach, hashbrowns. Failure to comply will result in an impatient waiter. They're mostly older men who have been doing this job for 40 years. Rule #2: They don't use a George Forman Grill or meat from Stop N' Shop. They prepare it their way. Aged beef charred on the outside, red on the inside. It seals the juices in and is mouthwatering. This is how it is. I like that you can dress down. If you're going to make the trek out to Nowheresville, Brooklyn and pay those prices it's nice to know you can wear a tee-shirt and jeans. more

overrated 1/21/2003

sorry, but i still can't figure out why this place is rated so high every year. the appetizers were great... the bacon slices were original. you only get one choice of steak and that's a greasy porterhouse that's charred black on the outside and rare on the inside. for my money, i'll take the palm, angelo/maxie, sparks, or smith and wolly any day. Pros: appetizers Cons: long wait, overrated steak more

Tastes like BUTTER? EWWW 1/20/2003

I've read a lot of reviews about Peter Luger's that says their steak tastes like butter. 1st off I like butter on steaks but I don't want the actual steak to taste like butter! I want it to taste like aged, cooked cow! If I wanted butter, I'd grab the Land O Lakes out of my fridge and start spooning it up.... Pros: Butter, Butter, Butter Cons: Butter, Butter, Butter more

ONION OVERKILL 1/17/2003

True the steaks were delicious. A bit undercooked for my tastes (medium had bloody centers) but delicious nonetheless. Creamed spinach was perfect and hash browns were hearty and savory. But the tomato and onion salad is actually huge slabs of onion with an equally huge slab of tomato. after the first couple of bites, the onion really ties your stomach into knots. I would pass on the tomato/onion ""salad"" next time. Also, got crappy corner table where waiters kept bumping into us. But at least he was relatively friendly. Pros: Steaks, Good value Cons: Location, Onions more

A bit out of the way but serves great steaks - well aged, tender and full of flavor. Service is ok. more

The Best Steak You Will Ever Eat 1/13/2003

Book reservations well in advance, and you will be rewarded. Don't even think about doing a walk in. There are quirks which should be aware of. It is a limited menu, but you are there for the Porterhouse. For some reason waiters don't like to hand out menus, and you are treated much better if you can order from memory. Just in case you've never been there before: Green salad w/bleu cheese, smoked bacon strips 3-4 per person (often forgotten, but worth the experience), Porterhouse (hint, order a porterhouse for 3, for every 2 people. Trust me), hash browns, creamed spinach. By ordring the bacon strips it show that you really know what you are doing. Go light on the bread, and you might even be able to fit dessert. Stick with the Beck's Dark or hard spirits. Don't embarrass yourself by ordering something like a Long Island Ice T. Pros: The Best, Easy Parking, World Famous Cons: Pricey, Occasional Attitude more

Dont have a Cow 1/13/2003

I had the Porterhouse. The steak literally was the size of the table. It took two waiters to lift it and place it. The rest of my group had to be reseated at an adjacent table. The steak was done properly, the medium was slightly cool in the middle. The was very little if any seasoning on the meat, and the outsiside has nice sear marks and a rich taste. Try cutting the outside and eating it seperately from the inside. The steak was also very very tender. I did not need a knife to cut it as the fork was able to penetrate all the way through the pink center as vital juices ozzed all over the place. When I was finished about a dozen bus boys converged and cleaned everything up. I recommend this place. more

To the very bones 1/13/2003

The place looks old enough, mature enough and certainly serves the best meat I have ever tasted, including the famous Florentine steak in Toscana. With no much-ado-about food yet with knowing how aged meat should be treated. To the very bones indeed, way to go - keep on the good work lads, you are the greatest. Pros: , expensive but worthy more

JUST MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH 1/13/2003

The steak is awesome! You must come here once just to experience it! The spinach is delicious. Steak for 2,3,4 the price you cant argue with - cause when you go to other restaurants you pay 1/3 more for lesser quality. go once and enjoy - forget the great rolls then you wont have room for the steak! more
