Peter Luger REDEEMED? Revisiting Brooklyn's Icon. NYC's BEST STEAK?

Brooklyn's Peter Luger Steak House was once regarded as hands down the best steak in NYC, if not the entire world! While not the oldest steakhouse in NYC, it is one of the oldest, and staff who have left to open their own restaurants have had tremendous success. Wolfgang's Steakhouse and Benjamin's Steakhouse were both opened by former Peter Luger employees and both are among the best steakhouses in NYC, having been trained well at Peter Luger.

In recent years, Peter Luger has begun receiving much criticism over the inconsistency of their food. Pete Wells' Peter Luger NY Times review was a devastating 0.8/4.0, as he famously said there is not much reason to eat there anymore. In 2022, Peter Luger lost its Michelin star after holding one star every year since 2006. Criticism of Peter Luger's food as being inconsistent was persistent for much of the past 10 years. This channel was even put on the map due to a viral review of Peter Luger! The UA Eats Peter Luger video featured me, as always, providing an honest review of the restaurant. I liked the burger then, but I found the steak lacking and many people agreed with me in the comments.

Still, I have always been itching to try Peter Luger again. I felt bad leaving the review the way it was. Restaurants after all are not static organizations, and they can change after all. I may have had a mediocre experience, but I am always willing to give places second chances. Recently, reviews of Peter Luger have again been very positive. Most people have been leaving 4-5 stars on Google reviews, so I decided to head down to Brooklyn and try Peter Luger again. Perhaps they have righted the ship and are again one of the best steaks in New York City again!

I hope you enjoy the vid and as always, like and subscribe if you like my vids!

The waiter told the truth about the sliced tomatoes and you didn't listen. Thanks for taking one for the team!!! I'll be getting the Caesar salad.

$11 for two slices of tomato and a slice of onion??? Nahhh son, that’s highway robbery

[Tracy]

When the waiter is trying to keep you from making a mistake, let them.

[erikfast]

$10.95 for 2 slices of tomato and a slice of raw onion is criminal.

[Jeff-piw]

Yes, it is a tourist trap.
Im glad you enjoyed the filet, but at $149 when the rest of the steak was mediocre leaves a lot to be desired.
There booze at $25 a drink is absurd .they take you to cleaners on the side dishes. The potatoes you can get in any dinner it usually comes with your eggs.
I wish I could open up food Stand and sell those two tomatoes for 11 bucks .ill even throw in the sauce for free!

C'mon UA, you HAVE to have the onion, tomatoes and steak sauce TOGETHER bro!

[pizzulo]

If a $75 steak for one is hit or miss, you need to change your supplier.

[madspongebuddies]

At a place like this for the price, nothing on the menu should be referred to as a "hit or miss"

[worldsgreatestimpressionis]

The waiter specifically tried to talk you out of tomato and onion 😅

[ValleAka]

$11 for some raw onions and tomatoes, what in the actual fuck. How are they even famous for that shit?!

[TheOfficialThompson]

The tomato and onion situation has to be one of the biggest scams ever. Even if it was organic, amish, served with an elite olive oil, it would be overpriced.

[rossikc]

I am sorry, but $11 for two slices of tomato and 1 slice of onion is straight up ridiculous.

[JackSprat]

Thanks again. Your videos continue to amaze me. Obviously you really know your steaks and even your hash browns and can describe them very accurately. So many do not realize how much difference little subtleties in the food preparation and even how you, the diner, eat it make a big difference. I hope I have not offended you before with my condescending gripes, but I grew up in a totally different generation, and whereas you present your background as "everyman" I was brought up never attending a public school in my life. You obviously already know a lot, and you keep learning; so keep it up

[waynepreston]

$11 for two tomatoes and an onion? $18 for a pig plate of hash browns! You need to have your head examined to pay these type of prices.

[auggie]

11 dollars for two slices of tomato and a slice of onion is straight up robbery.

UA: Onions+Tomato+Sauce!
Waiter: You've got the sauce. If you've had tomatoes+onions before, then ours is no big deal; it's not a signature item. Save your money, Pal.
UA: I've been here once before.
Waiter: (Blinks repeatedly offscreen while thinking, "Then WTF are you asking about "the sauce" like it's different/special from what's already on the table? Why even mention that you're a veteran yet order basic raw, sliced veggies like a newb?"
UA: I wanna review it. It's probably just sliced tomatoes+onions. Basic. And too expensive.
Waiter: That's what I'm trying to... I'll get your potatoes, Sir.

(Later...)
UA: It's kind of disappointing...

As someone who loves steak, you owe it to yourself to learn much more about the different beef cuts used for steak, because what you called sirloin is not --- it's a strip loin, also sometimes called a New York strip. The sirloin is from another part of the cow and is less tender than the strip loin and has less marbling. Both the Porterhouse and the T-bone include one each side of the bone a piece of tenderloin and piece of strip loin; the difference between those steaks is the relative size of the tenderloin is bigger on the Porterhouse. Suggest you visit a knowledgeable butcher so you can see the difference.

With New York raising tolls for congestion pricing, you just saved me $600. Thank you for your honesty!

[AmazingChinaToday]

I keep going back to Longhorn Steakhouse! It's perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, high quality steak. New York Strip, medium rare, is my favorite. Comes with 2 sides, I usually order a salad and a loaded baked potato. Under 30 bucks complete, and I prefer it to the overpriced steak houses.

I like the re-review because you never know if a place stays the same, gets better or gets worse.

Safe Journey!

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
