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...

Tsk Tsk! 1/13/2003

ANY true New Yorker will be SHOCKED to see that the famous Palm Restaurant is not only NOT #1 on your list....but not even included!??! For those who don't know...best steak AND lobster for 30+ years in NYC. Pros: Incredible staff, Incredible Food, Great atmosphere Cons: Perfection isnt cheap, But the pricing IS, well worth it more

Excellent Standard 1/12/2003

I would only recommend this restaurant to a friend if waiting at least 40 minutes for your RESERVATION is acceptable, and you don't mind paying for relatively standard fare. Although the steak was wonderful, it was just steak and very pricey at that. The sides are what you might be served in any other restaurant. Nothing really sticks out. Our waiter, however, was excellent and so were our mixed drinks. Among the best I've had, with the exception of Campbell's Apartment in Manhattan. Pros: Excellent Steak, Excellent Service, Excellent Drinks Cons: Overbooked, Unimaginative Fare, Pricey for value more

I believe Peter Luger's is a wonderful steak but consistantly receives ratings higher than warrented. Its the place to be and I think people are afraid to be honest with their rating. The menu is limited and one does not always get ""The"" best piece of beef in town. more

Hankms 1/12/2003

Best Steak in New York is in Brooklyn! A steak you can dream about and actually still taste it. the side dishes are fantastic. Tomatoes, Onions, Creamed Spinach, potatoes all great. The only thing left to say is WOW! Pros: GREAT STEAKS, PARKING AVAILABLE Cons: TOO CROWDED, BRING CASH more

steak king 1/10/2003

i don't know about anyone else, but i go to a steak house for the STEAK!!. there is none finer than lugars. I have been going there for over 30 years. most recently to the one on long island (for those who need a litte more ambiance). the steak sauce does suck, but only a novice would attempt to use anything but salt on such a fine piece of meat. blows away all of the competition (and i have been everywhere). end of story!. Pros: great steak, bacon, schlag (just ask) Cons: hard to get in, ordinary sides, short wine list more

Best steak I've ever had 1/6/2003

Though we had a reservation, and it still took them 45 minutes to seat us, it was worth it. Steak for 2 was delicious, as were the side dishes. It was very pricey, but worth the money if you are willing to spend it on a meal I would definitely go back (as soon as I can get a reservation) Pros: Food Cons: Wine, Long Wait more

No Tuna Sandwich,it's the steak 1/3/2003

The food outweighs the flaws. The food will eventually make you outweigh Anna Nicole Smith. Simply the best steak in a country with great steak. Pros: Food Cons: Wait more

DISGUSTING 1/2/2003

Has any body ever actually been to this place?? IT IS BY FAR, THE WORST STEAK I HAVE EVER HAD. HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE A FILET?? I DON'T THINK NEW YORKERS HAVE EVER HAD A GOOD STEAK. I TRAVEL AND EAT OUT ALOT AT SOME VERY EXCLUSIVE PLACES. THE BEST STEAK IS AT RUTH CHRIS, I SUGGEST YOU ALL GO THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. more

Y'all are CRAZY! 12/24/2002

What's wrong with you people who dis Peter Luger?! Luger's is the best! When I ate there, everything was fabulous- the service was top notch, and the steaks were incredible (as were the side dishes of creamed spinach and potatoes). The long wait for a reservation and the crazy seating times (I could only get Monday night at 9:45 PM, despite calling a month and a half in advance) are a small price to pay for such a wonderful eating experience. Pros: THE best steak, waitstaff, Luger's steak sauce Cons: hard to get reserv., pricey more

great steak 12/23/2002

Incredibly delicious steak which I have never experienced anywhere else, consistently perfect time after time and year after year. The tomato salad and creamed spinach are a must. Expect very professional but brusque service- just part of the atmosphere. more

overrated 12/20/2002

you say steak in new york city and automatically people say peter luger's....but that's nothing more than hype, cliche and people not knowing any better....one should always be weary of a steakhouse - especially one that claims to be as good as luger's - that needs a steak SAUCE...a true great steak can and will stand without it...but the main problem is that luger's believes a steak should be cooked one way - rare, regardless if you, the customer likes it medium well...is it good? sure...is at great as everyone says? hell no....but the bacon, that's a different story. Pros: eating hall, service, bacon Cons: location, arrogance more

Overrated Restaurant 12/19/2002

Peter Luger's is a decent steakhouse but certainly no better or worse than many others within New York City. It is far too crowded with a very limited menu. The prices aren't warranted. I would rate this restaurant as just average. Pros: good quality food, crowded Cons: noisy, very expensive more

Peter Luger 12/19/2002

This is the most spectacular steak house in all of New York. Outside of the Chocolate Godiva cake that Morton's offers, it can't compare more

Freddie Kruger? 12/15/2002

Standing at the bar waiting for your table is a nightmare (especially when you are with a large group). The steaks are good but to travel there from Manhattan when there are other options that are just as good - and in my opinion better - is not wise. Bensons, S & W's, Sparks make P.L.'s a viable option - not vice versa. Pros: tender steaks Cons: crowded, out of the way more

Great Beef But That's All 12/12/2002

I had a good experience at Peter Luger. The waiters were nice and helpful. The porterhouse was amazing as advertised. But I have to say, I'm a naysayer. I just prefer having a choice of what to eat. Not only is there very little on the menu besides steak, but you really have no choice of what cut of meat to get. Plus, I'm not real fond of the idea of sharing a steak. I want my own hunk of meat so I can slice it the way I want. The final negative here...the sides leave a lot to be desired and the sauce is revoltingly sweet. That being said, it's a unique and memorable place and the steak is awesome. But you should be warned that you really have no choice in what to eat. I would not go unless you are a steak fanatic. Pros: Awesome Beef, Reputation Cons: Few Options on Food, Weak sides/apps more
