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...

worth the drive over the bridge 12/11/2002

Other than its impossible reservation (no matter how many months you call in advance, the only available time slots for dinner on a Saturday are always 4:45 or 9:45), Peter Luger is worth the drive over to Brooklyn. Your best bet is to just show up without making a reservation though it is not recommended if you have a party of 5 or more people. Pros: food, bread Cons: rush service, impossible reservatio, location more

I traveled 800 miles for this steak! 12/10/2002

Truly an exquisite dining experience. My godfather brought me here on a visit, and I almost didn't leave NYC after eating! The rolls are heavenly, the beefsteak tomato and onion salad with the Peter Luger's steak sauce is an odd but delicious combination, and the gigantic steaks were melt-in-your-mouth tender. The drinks were superb, and I didn't taste a single thing that wasn't spectacular. The chocolate medallions are the best part! Pros: homestyle dining, amazing food, great drink selection Cons: tough to find more

Average for a decent Steakhouse 12/9/2002

I don't get it and I wasn't impressed. Obnoxious service isn't cute. Our waiter sat and ate a steak with his back to us when we wanted to order a second bottle of wine. more

mmmm.....Beef 12/4/2002

Best quality steak in NY.Not the easiest place to get to,but you still have to go.Awesome onion rolls that don't need butter.You feel a sense of history as soon as you walk in.Bar pours very stiff cocktails so be careful drinking before dinner.Don't ask for menu,steak is what you will have,along with great creamed spinach.Very expensive,but a must dinner! Bring a lot of cash,no credit. Pros: onion rolls, Luger sauce, veteran waiters Cons: , location,must reserve more

Beef it up baby!! 12/4/2002

No doubt in my mind or in the mind of any steak lover, this IS this place to go for steaks!! I prefer mine without the butter added and I let the waiter know that. While you're telling the waiter what to do, make sure you let him know to bring you the hashed browns and plain spinach..altho my better half prefers the cream spinach. AND DO NOT FORGET TO ORDER A SLICE OR TWO OF THE BACON AS A PREAPPETIZER WITH YOUR DRINK. ENJOY!!! ED Pros: PARKING IN GREAT NECK, ALWAYS CROWDED, SCHTUP THE CAPT more

Best STeak Ever 12/4/2002

I never liked steak before having one at Peter Luger's in Brooklyn. People would say ""Melts in your mouth like butter"". Didn't believe this. Peter Luger's Steak ""Melts in your mouth like butter"". more

Eating in a barn 12/3/2002

I know cows live in barns but I certainly would rather not dine in one. Both locations in NY appear to be decorated by an old farm hand. They know they have great food so I guess the thought is foget what the places looks like and don't expect a polite waiter either. Rude and obnoxious is the theme here. It is a great steak though. P.S. Bring cash unless you have a Peter Lugar charge card. No other Charge cards are accepted Pros: FOOD Cons: ATMOSPHERE, SERVICE, PAYMENT OPTIONS more

Terribly Disappointed 12/3/2002

Was terribly disappointed. Tables packed too close together; food average; service slow; waiter had an attitude problem. Cleaniness of establishment left a lot to be desired. Location in a less than desirable neighborhood. Cons: Average Food, Bad Service, Too Crowded more

not all that/not that bad 12/3/2002

Very limited steak selection, could/should have been much more tender! Great side dishes! Old time charm. Ala carte pricing up there... Didn't take credit cards. Customer has to make an effort on many levels.(location,bring cash...) The steak was the least impressive part of my meal. The wait and bar staff were great. Pros: good bar, unpretentious, nice staff Cons: very limited steaks, expensive, not great steak more

Why cash only 12/3/2002

The line between great and awful 11/29/2002

First of all, the Brooklyn location is better then the Great Neck one. The steaks are simply the reason to come here. You probably can not find a better steak in all 5 boroughs of New York City. The service is terrible and the waiters are so rude you want to punch them in the face. They were the most uncourteous of people and go out of their way to make your visit as unpleasant as possible. Allow the steak to subdue the evening. I recommend this place for a large group, not a date. Pros: Great steaks, Good parking Cons: Terribly rude staff, Terrible service, Expensive more

Not worth the trip 11/26/2002

Peter Lugers is an excellent steak house, but I'll take Sparks or Smith & Wollensky over Lugers any day. Why travel to Brooklyn when you've got plenty of great chioces for steak houses in Manhattan? more

Special steak sacue - grease! 11/13/2002

This place was one of my highlights while visiting new york. I had both rare and medium rare steak and they were prepared to perfection. The excellent bacon, cold beer, and loud/fun crowd couldn't even distract me from enjoying the steak. Pros: Steak, Ambience, Bacon Cons: Wait more

Leave Vegitarians At Home 11/8/2002

If you want it your way, right away, Peter Luger's is not your place (Try Ruth Chris or Burger King). However, if you want magificent porterhouse steaks done to prefection, your decision starts and ends at the base of the Williamsburg Bridge. When you order, toe the line - order steak for the # in your party (Don't overcook it, Prince Charles!), tomato & onion salad and bacon are a must. Know what you are doing and don't upset the famously gruff staff and you will be treated like a king. Pros: Buttery Porterhouse, Beerhall Ambience, Good Steakhouse Value more

Bossy Waiters 11/6/2002

Had a business dinner there once, and that was more than enough. Service was sporatic, rude and messy. Since when did it become a custom to have the waiters serve your food the way they feel it should be served, regardless of your own personal taste. I was always under the assumption that the customer knows best. Paid top dollar for a plate of blood. Cons: Level of Service, No Credit Cards, Lousy atmosphere more

The Ultimate Steak 11/1/2002

Everyone said that Peter Luger's was the best steak in the country. Guess what??? IT IS!!!! The two times I have eaten at Peter's, the service and food have been second to none. I recommend ordering any dessert with their homemade ""Schlag"" which is whipped cream. This place is a little pricey but still worth every penny. Pros: Best Steak, Service Cons: A little Pricey more
