I ate here when I was a kid in Brooklyn for a cousin's wedding. I had no idea how respected and amazing it was at the time, now that I'm an adult and financially independent I could finally appreciate it fully but my wallet says otherwise. Someday I'll go back.

[Jacob-rylu]

Ate here twice and the steak was definitely great but I guess it was just as good as any other steak from a nice NYC steakhouse, didn't blow my socks off. However, the thick cut bacon appetizer, the wedge salad, and the chocolate sundae dessert were outrageously delicious, and most definitely did blow my socks off lol. The overall atmosphere and the service are fantastic as well. It's a pleasure to dine at Luger's.

For any new goers to Peter Lugers, here's a recommended meal to order


Get their bacon as an appetizer(it's a thick godly piece of bacon)
Of course have to get their legendary dry aged steak
With their golden german potatoes and creamed spinach


Seriously amazing

[kuruptzZz]

That's the key, don't try to "evolve" and cater to everyone. Just stick with your specialty and become the best at it!

you always know people are acting (poorly) when they overreact about tasting something the millisecond it touches their lips

Went to Peter Luger back in July of 2019 . Costa was a great waiter . He dried me off with multiple towels because i walked in the Rain. It was my birthday that day and it was very memorable and food was delicious! I would definitely go again and wish I could have a bite right now !

The dessert looks like the strudel and cream from Inglorious Basterds.

Went to the same location and was floored at how good they’re steaks are. Just gonna warm you though that both times that I have gone the customer service was not the greatest. Waiters were pretty rude, and expected you to know what to order the moment they ask for your order. Other than that it’s freaking amazing. Get the bacon! You won’t regret it!

[marcuscicero]

I occasionally am able to purchase a decent prime cut at Costco, but there are grades of prime that only the high end steak houses get. Cooking a steak ain't hard. getting top prime is next to impossible. met a server from one of Chicago's top steakhouses and the guy tells me all his restaurant's meat comes from a farm in Minnesota who sells exclusively to his restaurant. Plan B - knock over a meat truck

[chemboy]

I agree. I've been fortunate enough to eat at all the great NYC steakhouses and PL is the best. Simple, to the point, delicious.

Every chef: let your steak rest after you cook it

Peter Luger: I think not

[carltaylor]

Peter Luger's hands down no matter what some might say. Not only because of the food . But the quality of
the personalized service. An evening there would be an experience you'll never forget.

[larreamma]
