On a recent trip to NYC we had a reservation at Peter Luger's that had been made 2 months in advance and verified by the restaurant on two seperate occassions. Upon arrival for our reservation - on time I might add - they stated that they had reduced their hours due to the "prime beef shortage" . The busboy was... more

One of my friends recommended me to go here next time I went to New York so I did. The steak was excellent, it was not over cooked or chewy like some reviewers had stated. Maybe I was just there at a good time. The spinash was also incredable, but I do not want to know how many caleries in... more

After reading other reviews, I almost didn't go. Happily, I decided to "decide" for myself. Steak for two was definitely enough for 4. Drinks were fabulous, as was the baked potato and fries (yes, I ordered fries). Everything about it was great and our service unbeatable. I will definintely go back next time I'm in NY. more

Peter Luger's was to be the dining highlight of our trip. We couldn't have been more dissappointed; tough, charred, over cooked steaks, tasteless, sticky potatoes and soupy, creamed spinach. One steak was so overdone it had to be sent back ;(management cheerfully removed it from our tab). Service was excellent though, as were the mixed drinks and shrimp cocktails. I... more

I am from Chicago and know a good steak. My sister has lived in NYC for 10 years and I wanted to go to Luger. She urged me to go elsewhere, She took me to Craft Steak last year. That place was fantastic. So i knew she knew good restaurants, but i wanted to see what the hype was about.... more

I read so many great things and in the book 1000 Places to See Before You Die. I think I could have passed on without this experience. Steak was ok, I have had better at many of the chains, the service was good, and the atmosphere ok. The prices are high for what you get. Save your hard earned dollars... more

Unfortunatly I was disappointed with this place. As an Okie that was raised on beef I expected more than a broiled steak. It was very juicy, but a little over done. But seeing as how the steak was so large, I imagine it was difficult to cook. My husband is a steak fanatic and he loved the juiciness of the... more

Rude Waiters handle raw bacon with their bare hands and continue to work without washing their hands. Steaks fall on the floor and get thrown back on the grill. The supply room is roach infested, and the trays the waiters use to bus tables also are used to transport raw meat. Worst of all the waiters "clean" tables with warm,... more

I ignored the negative reviews and decided to try Peter Luger in Brooklyn for myself. I now regret not listening to others. We arrived at about 1:30pm but already all the lunch specials were finished so we had to order a la cart from the menu. The three waiters that helped us were coarse, lacked basic knowledge on meat cuts,... more
