Porterhouse steak, creamed spinach, and if you're here for lunch, the Lugar Burger!! Make a reservation if possible.
George ThFebruary 15, 2020
Great steak for two,nice bacon and tasty desserts. But the truth is I really can’t find many reasons to justify if it is worth paying that much money for a not so extraordinary steak.
Erik CintronOctober 13, 2011
The best steak house in NYC not only cuz everything is delicious but because the staff is golden the ambiance is perfect. Cash only and I love the old bar and old wooden floors not changed love it!!!
Daniel BarnettDecember 9, 2014
One of those few old school NYC restaurants that are both legendary and still legitimately good. Bacon is inspiring and so are their ... steaks. Get anything just go here.

The most tasty food I have ever eatten! Expensive one but wotrh it! Steak, cheapest bottle of wine plus tomatoes with onion 200 dollars plus 40 tip!
Abdullatif ANovember 7, 2014
One of the best steaks in NYC. I would recommend a medium rare cook. Don't u dare skipping the dessert. The Sunday ice cream and the cheese cake are both INCREDIBLY amazing.

Do yourself a favor & get a the Luger-Burger for lunch, with cheese. Get tomatos & onion, bacon, and fries for the table. You won't be disappointed by the best burger in the city. Make a reservation.
Betül KonuralpJuly 10, 2014
Of course steak is perfect. What I want to suggest is Peter Luger Cabernet Sauvignon wine. We've tried 2012, it was perfect, aromatic. I definitely suggest that.
Cole KennedyJanuary 21, 2023
Good experience, and honestly a $22-ish cheeseburger isn’t all that expensive nowadays, but you only need to do it once, in my opinion.

This burger is only served at lunch, until 3:45 p.m. daily. Toppings include thick cut bacon or cheese, but lettuce and tomato are not suggested. It's all about the meat. Read more

Steak is the BEST.Advise to make early reservation before you come. Waiting are not advisable. Make sure you also bring enough cash because this Resturant don’t accept credit card.
Joe BlossomSeptember 5, 2015
The whole meal was amazing. Is it the best steak and sides I've ever had? No, but it was certain worth the price in the experience and pretty tasty food.
Edwina McGregorAugust 21, 2017
Quite possibly one of the best burgers I've ever had. No frills here, just a straight up cheeseburger. How it should be.
Ailie ChangJuly 19, 2017
Delish! Sliced Tomato w/ Lugar's Sauce, Extra Thick Bacon, Porterhouse, German Fried Tomatoes, and Creamy Spinach! Get any of the desserts. No Credit Cards.
EpicuriousNovember 21, 2014
Everything from the butter-bathed porterhouse to the creamed spinach to the onion-sweetened home fries is, in a word, prime. Read more

Michael Psilakis can't resist the supersized slice of Sizzling Bacon from Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn, NY on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Find more tips at Food Network Local. Read more

No matter where you are, let us tell you that this is worth the trip! Order the porterhouse that gives a large portion of juicy and absolutely flavorful meat – a taste you can’t stop thinking about.
Jayson MJune 6, 2015
Make a reservation in advance and be sure to try the bacon as it's amazing and the cream spinach is to die for! Don't forget to eat your gold medallion!
Janet YuApril 24, 2012
It's a must-go steak house in Brooklyn. Porterhouse , bacon and tomato are must have. You might be able to get a table If you go to the one in Great Neck on weekday night without reservations.
Vicky NgMay 5, 2013
Best Porterhouse steak I've ever had! Unable to reserve a table for dinner, so we went during lunch time. Our porterhouse for 2 has been cooked perfectly as requested.

Dry-aged porterhouse for two is a work of carnivorous art. The steaks are every bit as good as they're said to be. (Prime Meats, Porter House New York, Minetta Tavern, and Prime House New York.) Read more

Steak for two (or more) spinach, home fries, bacon slices and importantly tomato and onion slices with sauce.

Come here for lunch. Easier to score a close-in reservation and the burger is one of their best-kept secrets.
jake furstMarch 7, 2013
start with the bacon, and don't fill up on the onion rolls. get your steak one level less cooked than you normally would; you can cook it more on your 1000 degree plate. oh, and do NOT ask for a menu.
Amanda WhittemoreDecember 3, 2012
Even with a reservation there's always a wait but enjoy it...it's all part of the experience. Get the bacon. And order your steak rarer than you like - it cooks even more on the plate.
New York PostAugust 18, 2014
The fabled sliced porterhouse rarely disappoints. And although most go for steak, starters and sides have stealthily upped their game in recent years. Read more

Doesn't matter where you come from, if you visit NYC then visiting Peter Lugers in Williamsburg Brooklyn is a must, short cab ride from LES, you wont be disappointed make sure to bring your wallet

Order: Steak for however many people in your party, bacon for every 2 people, tomatoes, any dessert with schlag. Be happy.
Alex FishMay 30, 2015
Came for the lunch burger and it was worth it. Save room for the holy cow sundae at the end!
Jay EaglesonMarch 24, 2015
Legendary steakhouse. The service is great. The food is good, but you're definitely paying for the history and atmosphere of this old fashioned steakhouse.
AmateurConciergeOctober 30, 2015
Is it overrated? Yes. Will the decor not be what you expected? Probably. But is the steak swimming in butter amazing? Almost always.
Sacha SJuly 14, 2017
Best steak house in town. Get the bacon as a starter. The service is brilliant! If you love steak this is a must!
Richard RevillaAugust 20, 2012
Everyone should go here once in their life. Amazing place to have a steak, bacon, tomatoes and onions. Bring CASH and good luck with the reservations.
Pedro Henrique CostaSeptember 18, 2016
Amazing! The best steak i ever had!Very professional people working there. Dont forget to book a table before! Its VERY crowded.. always..
Bruno VictorinoMay 11, 2013
We asked Steak for two and It was very delicious. We walked in, so, they made we wait for over 40 minutes to sit down. While waiting Nut Brown beer is the must. Try to make an reservation to not wait.
Ernesto GutierrezSeptember 2, 2017
This feels like a return to basics. Nothing fancy, flashy or sophisticated yet very tasty. The steak is portioned depending on the number of people. The slab of bacon is an indulgence to try.
Deb WunderDecember 2, 2016
My steak & creamed spinach were excellent. My roommate enjoyed her chopped steak, mashed potatoes & sauteed onions. Good coffee with dessert, too.
Tony XerriOctober 6, 2022
Just revisited after a few years and my position remains... the medium rare burger, is better than the steak. Don't @ me...
Marc CohenJanuary 15, 2017
Thick cut bacon, all steaks, and the schlag for desert. Best steakhouse in NYC.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014
You can’t go more old school than Peter Luger’s. Their porterhouse steak and tomatoes and onions with steak sauce are the best of classic New York cool.
Lane RettigDecember 28, 2015
Bring your appetite! Order the steak medium rare; it continues to cook after its served and gets better and better!
BravoNovember 19, 2010
I crave the bacon with their special tomato sauce at least twice a week, a must-go to restaurants at least once in your life. If you're in Manhattan it's just a short train ride to Williamsburg. -Alex

Bacon, steak, shrimp cocktail, German potatoes, French fries, creamed spinach, holy cow hot fudge sundae
Honghui YuOctober 27, 2014
The steak here is super expensive but so worth it. Also, if you're going to come here, just go for the steak. You can get fancy burgers elsewhere for much cheaper!

Bring some money and give it to the matridee to skip out on waiting for a table. Order the bacon, creamed spinach, and a steak for two. Also use the steak sauce on the bread!!

Begin with shrimp cocktail or a wedge salad, then Porterhouse with French fries & creamed spinach, then cheesecake. – Green Guide Editor
Mark CohenOctober 14, 2014
Lives up to one'a expectations. A NY classic. A bit noisy and chaotic but when you strip that away, the steak you came for does not disappoint. What's not to love?
Sam GilFebruary 1, 2018
Steak great, creamed spinach amazing, vibe amazing. Recommend. Won’t be my number 1 steak but it’s still up there.
Henry YuanMay 21, 2013
Steak for two is flawless and their signature sauce perfectly compliments it! Bacon was incredible (not too salty and not TOO fatty) and thick but the stuffed potato was just "eh."
