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...

It's just great steak... 10/29/2002

For those of you who moan and groan, it's great steak. Forget the atmosphere and the lack of romance. If it's atmosphere you want go to the River Cafe under the bridges and pay an arm and a leg for hospital-type food. Luger's is about great food, and that's it. You don't need a reservation like most people say, and for those of you who moan about no credit cards, those are the people that don't have two nickels to rub together. This place didn't stay in business since 1887 because people like credit cards. Cash seems to work just fine. Pros: Great steak, Great bar, Great everything Cons: Williamsburg more

i see red... 10/11/2002

It is by far the best steak ever. Only thing that can compare to the steaks at Peter Luger's is Argentina steakhouses in Argentina. The steaks we had were cooked to perfection. It also seem like a place where many people for birthday celebrations. The staff moves as if they have been doing it all their lives. Peter Luger is definitely a happy tummy experience. Pros: food, quality more

The Godfather of Porterhouse 10/7/2002

Ladies and Gentlemen, One doesn't go to Luger's for the ambience. Simply put, one goes to Peter Luger's for the most exquisite, mouth watering, porterhouse steak that any restaurant could possibly offer! Please don't forget to order the creamed spinach. This combo goes together like Lennon and McCartney. For desert, it's usually a toss-up between the NY cheesecake or chocolate mousse. By the way, the whipped cream, otherwise known as shlaagg is to die for. more

speechless and satisfied 10/7/2002

This is the best steak restaurant that I have ever been too. Besides some of the best cuts of meat in this city, the mouthwatering steak sauce, cottage fries and creamed spinach make it a complete meal worth every penny. The ambience is simple, yet elegant and be sure to finish your meal with their famous shlog. You haven't had whipped cream, until you've had theirs. more

More hype than substance 10/7/2002

If your looking for simply the finest cut and tasting beef than this may well be the best. However, if your looking for a complete dining experience this steakhouse is mediocre at best. Don't ask for a filet, they don't have it. It's steak for 1, 2, 3, or 4. Porterhouse that melts in your mouth, but I have had just as good elsewhere. Pros: great beef, great beef, great beef Cons: expensive, inaccessible, octoberfest tables more

Going Against the Herd 10/7/2002

I've been told by friends and acquaintances from all walks of life that this was IT for steak. Well, four years ago, I tried it for the first time. It was very good, but it did not knock my socks off. Subsequently, I've been back another two times. Each time, I've come up with the same conclusion, the meat is excellent, but only with the sauce. It'd definitely the sauce. The spinach is to die for though. The atomsphere, well, you've got to be in the mood for it. While a great piece of steak, I've had better. more

NONE BUT THE BEST 10/7/2002

Let us not mince words when there is so much else to digest. This is, hands down, the best steak in New York. The meat is always done to perfection in tghose overns that came over on the boats with Columbus. The waiters are a show in themselves. For this much quality and quantity, it isn't even too pricey. One shortfall--if you're not into meat, the rest of the offerings are pretty mediocre... Pros: great meat, great waiters Cons: no variety of menu more

Bonnie from Baltimore 10/7/2002

Absolutely the best! I have been to many steakhouses. Thank God I got the opportunity to go to Peter Luger Steak House. Bad thing is, a steak house or two that I thought was great prior to my experience at Peter Luger, just does not come up to par anymore. more

so delicious 10/3/2002

If you only eat steak once in a blue moon, this is the place to do it. Just order what the waiter tells you to and enjoy. And don't forget to make reservations a few weeks in advance. more

Yum! 10/2/2002

This is the BEST steakhouse in the US. You cannot beat having the waiter spooning butter over your steak before you are served!! And the Luger sauce is so good I had to buy a couple of bottles to bring home. more

Great food / terrible service 9/19/2002

The steak is the best, I would definitely recommend it, but the service was REALLY bad. There were people waiting to be seated and the impression we got was that they wanted us to eat really fast and go, very aggravating. Pros: Great food, Wine list Cons: Lousy service more

Best Steak in NY 9/19/2002

Peter Luger is hands down the top steak house in the US. During the 57 years I've been on this Earth, I've been to many ""top-notch"" steak restaurants in almost every major US city. Nothing compares to a steak for 2 at Peter Luger in Brooklyn. It is tender and juicy. It has a distinct flavor that is incompareable. Peter Luger is the best place in the world for steak. more
