The NEXT PETER LUGER? Wolfgang's Steakhouse Review

There are many who believe Peter Luger is the best steak in NYC, or Peter Luger is the best steak in the USA or even Peter Luger is the best steak in the world. However, we went to Peter Luger Steakhouse on this channel and we found Peter Luger overrated. The meat was chewy, lacking in strong meaty flavor, and the price was exorbitantly high. Peter Luger losing its Michelin Star seems to confirm that quality at the once legendary steakhouse in NYC has slipped drastically.

However, do not fret! Wolfgang's Steakhouse is one of the best steakhouses in NYC and Wolfgang's is still serving the original Peter Luger recipes. Founded by Wolfgang Zwiener, the former head waiter at Peter Luger of more than 30 years, Wolfgang's Steakhouse serves steak in the Peter Luger style, uses the Peter Luger meat supplier and its dry aging method, carries many of the Peter Luger menu items, such as the Peter Luger thick cut bacon, the Peter Luger sliced tomatoes and onions, and the Peter Luger german potatoes, and has waitstaff dressed in exactly the same manner as the Peter Luger waitstaff. If you are looking for the original Peter Luger taste, you can still find it at Wolfgang's. The similarities between the two restaurants are striking!

Wolfgang was my waiter at Peter lugers for 15 YEARS! He knows what he's doing, and he's a great guy!

I like your honest opinion on our steakhouse. I believe you were a walk in on Friday. I want you to reach out to me tomorrow (Tuesday) at the front desk of Tribeca and ask for Rocky the manager. At anytime in the afternoon. We loved the video and would like to buy you and your friend dinner😁 -Rocky

Love your videos. They are honest, unbiased and informative. I also like your pleasant enthusiasm. I stumbled across one of your reviews a couple of weeks ago, and have since watched them all. Looking forward to the next one!

I been to Wolfgangs a couple of times... went here for a friends' 40th bday dinner back in march. Two things that I really loved before I get to food - outstanding service and true old school steakhouse vibe. For me those 2 things are pretty much a must (with the exception of del friscos double eagle - it's my wife family go to and i can't say no to steak and great drinks) .... anyways... the food.
My friends went crazy with the seafood (I've had a seafood allergy since my mid 20s - life is unfair) - they enjoyed it
also got the thick cut bacon (better than peter luger imo)
I had the Porterhouse for 2 medium rare... very good, wouldn't say better than Peter Luger, but just about on par with - I actually finished it on my own... was proud lol.
Had the Apple Strudel for dessert - outstanding.
They also had a great wine selection. Can't go wrong here.

Gallaghers steak house was mentioned in the comments. Never forget, we went to NYC for the Christmas show and I picked out Gallaghers for lunch. The other couples were repulsed by the dry aged raw meat display and the pricing! We sat down and left after the menu prices were looked at. Where did we go instead? TGIF! That was the last time we would go with them to the Christmas show. We went the next year, had a wonderful experience and food. I have a peter Luger charge card, always had a great meal there ten years ago. The first night I would have the steak for two plus all the trimmings, go there Tuesday night and have the chicken. Karl was my waiter of choice and enjoyed it all. Will give Wolfgang's a try next time in the city

Hi UA. I have seen a few of your food reviews and like them. The one point I'd suggest is, that instead of trying to put butter on the outside of the roil or bread slice, proper etiquette says, break off a small piece and butter that morsel of bread. A small point but I think it would help your tasting, as well. it looks more correct to us viewers. Cheers.

I’ve been to both, Peter Luger is a lot of hype, but Wolfgang’s is the real deal. Probably the best steak I’ve ever had!

Those steaks always look so dang gorgeous being served with all that sizzling. Not to mention the sauce!

[tested]

I was hoping your next review would involve steak. I cant wait!

Loving UA EATS, brings out the good vibes of each places :D

The challenge with steakhouses is that with the advent of the internet most people like me can make as good or sometimes better steaks thsn most of this RESTO and way way more affordable. My last visit to a well known steak outlet was good but somewhat underwhelming since we spent nearly 250$ for two and the service was very average.

[sandrolee]

I always thought it was Wolfgang Puck steakhouse, lol Didn’t know that it was a former Peter Luger style steakhouse!

[typerk]

I love Wokfgangs. I went there a couple years ago on Thanksgiving and it's one of my staples when I visit NYC. The one in Tribeca. Those potatoes are only second to Pappas Bros here in Dallas

[stylishbunny]

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse is one of my favorite restaurant!❤. I usually get porterhouse for two and with mushroom sides. I never use the steak sauce because simply it doesn’t need it. Nice review, UA!

[PowerThink]

Your honesty is refreshing to watch. Honesty is seriously underrated! $39 for a salad, fries and small skirt steak is absolutely overpriced!

[Cyberdragonfrenzy]

I wonder if Peter luger has been either changing to a different beef source for price or maybe not doing the dry aging (not sure if they ever were doing that). The extra chewiness is definitely something I notice distinctively when you go down the beef grades, but usually not too noticeable even at choice grade which is what most supermarkets sell anyway so that's quite interesting.
