on Citysearch Aug 22, 2009They deserve zero stars, instead a black hole, as this was the worst experience I have had at a steakhouse let alone a restaurant anywhere in the world. The menu was limited, the steak offered was only porterhouse and... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 19, 2009On my recent trip to New York I made a special trip over to Brooklyn to visit Peter Luger. Arriving right on time for my 10:45 reservation the door was locked. The bus boy wouldn't even let us in to talk to the manager about... (more)

on Citysearch May 09, 2009We made a reservation 4 weeks in advance, it took 45-1 hour to get a table. The matrede Alex was extremely rude, obnoxious, unapologetic, mean.....definitely not a good start to a nice evening in a well knowns place.... (more)

on Citysearch May 03, 2009This place is sooo brutally overrated! The food is just average, the menu is very limited. Their service doesn't leave you feel like a valued customer to say the least....Dinner for 4 cost us about $700 (cash only).... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 19, 2009Waiters grab raw bacon with their bare hands and continue to work without washing their hands. Steaks fall on the floor and get thrown back on he grill. Burgers are kept unrefrigerated throughout lunch hours. 12 to 4.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 18, 2009You won't forget this place and the size of the steaks you get. You WILL have to share, trust me. We drove way out of our way to experience Peter Lugers and it is one of my best memories of our NY trip. I believe the waiters... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 13, 2008I have been to this place for four times because it is so famous and outside visitors always want to go there. I don't know why but men just love this place...My husband love it too. To me it is not a special place at all.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 21, 2008Following the guidelines of previous reviews, we ordered the creamed spinach, grilled bacons, and the porterhouse steak for two. The bacons were amazing; like a ham steak. One is enough per person, unless you?re... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 08, 2008I'm not huge on steak (I'm one of those that orders their steaks well-done) and I don't normally eat out at restaurants where entrees are more than 20-something bucks. I've been to Peter Lugers 3 times. The first was... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 05, 2008The ONLY reason I am giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is for the decor. I was totally skeptical because everyone always raves about how good the steak is. I went with someone who is an expert and he ordered for the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 26, 2008HANDS DOWN, THE BEST DINNER I HAVE EVER HAD! No joke. I was amazed by this place. I read all the reviews on here before I left and I was expecting rude waiters and shabby atmosphere. I was also a little weary of the prices... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 06, 2008Okay, P.L. needs another rave review like I need another chin but DAMN! Simply the best steak I have ever eaten. Don't call yourself a carnivore unless you have sampled the meat at P.L. Side dishes, side mishes,... (more)

on Citysearch May 03, 2008I went here about a couple of years ago and the food was not bad. Although, I don't think it is the best steak in NY. I think people go here for the name and it is almost a landmark being that it has been open for over a hundred... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 01, 2008Went here with my girlfriend and her family on a Sunday and received the notorious brusque service. I can't say that it was unexpected given the reputation that precedes Luger's, but it was still disappointing.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 30, 2008It was one of the best steak experiences I have ever had! If you go you must order the Porterhouse for two(which can easily serve 3). It comes out on a sizzling plate which you can actually use to sear your meat if it comes... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 07, 2008This place is historical. As you walk in there is a giant photo of Johnny Carson with a handwritten message stating "The best meal I ever had was at Peter Luger." The waiter that served me had that "Leave me alone but... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 28, 2008Hands down. If you want a great steak, go to peter lugers. The steak for 2/3/4 is the way to go. The waiter will cut and serve you the steak. The cream spinach as a side is a nice compliment to the MEAT. Hmmm, meat!The... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 28, 2008Steak had no taste! I don't even think they seasoned it. The cut was nice and it was very tender but it had no flavor. The sides and salad were nothing worthwhile and their "world famous" steak sauce is actually...... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 29, 2007Peter Lugar's is not the best steak house in New York despite all the people who say "it's the best there is". The prices are really out of line and (I've dined there at least 6 times) the food can be inconsistant. I have... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 01, 2007I was invited to my boyfriend's friend's birthday. 2 of us were not interested in steak, but the waiter would NOT have it and bullied us. I stuck to the flounder, but the other girl had the $50+ steak. After we finished,... (more)

on Citysearch May 30, 2007I think it's important for me to state that this place is not for people who are looking for a great ambiance or service (although I've never had a problem, but people have big issues with it). I've been eating there for... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2007This was my first time at Peter Luger, and I was advised not to expect anything fancy. Having been the Del Frisco's a couple weeks prior, I think I was a little biased. However, I love steak and have been meaning to try... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 17, 2007I've eaten at a lot of steakhouses. This one rates at the bottom for two reasons: the steak itself is just bad and the restaurant is WAY overpriced. While the side items of this place are decent, the steak is very poor.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 25, 2006I've been going here for 30 years. Quite a bit has changed - the waiters are now pretend to be surly and gruff, rather than actually being that way as they always were - chalk that up to the continued theme-parking of NYC.... (more)

on Citysearch May 24, 2006We went to this place, because of the reputation and because a normally-reliable friend said it was the best steak in the U.S. It was the most expensive lunch I've ever bought, at about $125 per person, including wine.... (more)
