Upon arrival, we’ve been seated promptly. This was our first time at Peter Lugers. We ordered tomato “salad” (One large tomato sliced into 5 slices - $12.00). I know they claim it is a special grown tomato. Sorry, my husband and I didn’t notice anything special about it, very average tasting tomato. We also ordered spinach and steak for 2.... more

Went here during my NY trip because I love steak and I had to go to the legendary Peter Luger. Made reservations 1 month in advance and still did not get an optimal time, but 9:45pm worked out anyway. The restaurant is in the middle of a ghetto in Brooklyn, which is seedy at best during the night if you... more

My title says it all. I'm a big steak lover and I make every effort to try the most talked about, recommended, notorious ones out there. I came to NY for the first time from 12 time zones away and top on my list was to hunt for good steak. I had a friend who strong recommended Peter Luger, claiming... more

No joke, this is the finest steak I have ever had. We ordered the steak for 4, medium-rare. The steak was brought out on a sizzling plate, dripping with juice. It was slightly charred on the outside, and beautifully red and pink on the inside. Imagine a meat jawbreaker, with the thin well done layer on the outside, which seperates... more

Went to NY last week and being a big steak fan wanted to eat at the best place I could find. I had read many reviews for lots of steak houses before settling on Luger's. I was slightly concerned by some of the ones I had read in regards to the service people had received there and went there hoping... more

With my second trip to Peter Luger my first impressions were confirmed. If you love Portehouse steaks, you simply must try it. If you prefer other cuts or require a higher end ambience there are plenty of other fine choices in NYC. But for a porterhouse, bacon and a few stiff drinks, Peter Luger is your place...just be sure to... more

We drove from northeast PA to go to Peter Luger's Steakhouse in Brooklyn in Sept. '09 for our anniversary. It had old-world charm, butcherblock tables, no fluff or coddling here--just great steak. You could wear jeans or a suit here, no dress code/stuffiness here. We ordered their dry-aged porterhouse for 2, sides of potatoes & creamed spinach as reviews we... more

Although the atmosphere is quite "New York", and the steak we had was good (medium rare, cooked perfectly) it wasn't quite up to the hype. My colleagues and I all agreed that we've had better steak at Ruth's Chris. more

Simply the best steak we'ver ever had. You must order medium rare. It is broiled, not grilled. Medium rare grilled is bloody, but because they broil at 1100 degrees and dry aged, it cooks perfectly. If you order medium well, it would probably be over cooked. We weren't looking for anything flashy, just great service and great food. That's what... more
