Alex RavenelAugust 10, 2015I mean, steak for [number of diners]. Make sure to get the bacon, and save room for dessert--they are great and huge.
Max SullivanAugust 6, 2012In a room that harkens back to old NY and German ale-houses, Peter Luger offers the best steaks you're ever going to have. Hold the sauce for a few bites to take in the naked nirvana. Cash only.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleSeptember 22, 2012Dine on the best steaks you're ever going to eat at this MICHELIN starred restaurant. Hold the sauce for a few bites to take in the naked nirvana. Cash only. - Green Guide Editor
Alyssa B.February 14, 2022The steak seems to be a bit underseasoned on purpose to match the signature steak sauce. Requested Medium temp could have been more even across the porterhouse (more of medium well). CASH/DEBIT only
etta ySeptember 22, 2014Had the Holy Cow fudge sundae with caramel cone ice cream, in lieu of the traditional vanilla. It was the highlight of my week.- Nate FolkertJanuary 16, 2015super thick slice of bacon goes well with the tomato and onion appetizer slathered in luger sauce
Yahkup CavasAugust 22, 2011All i got to say is Bacon, Lamb Chops, and Steak. This restaurant changed my life. Make sure to start off with a Glen Livet or Fetich and soak up the juices with the onion bread.
NearSay NYCAugust 2, 2011The aforementioned Peter Luger's is an institution. You go there for their Porterhouse, make sure you get a piece of their slab bacon. For dessert, get the apple strudel with the slag.
Serious EatsMarch 8, 2013One of the classic New York steakhouses, with a fine burger available at lunch. Be aware: cash only.

Patrick BaskinJanuary 15, 2017One of the best steaks in NY, cooked in butter on the plate is served on...ice cream Sunday is great
Mike SleepAugust 3, 2017world famous steak house. classy but casual. the steak might be the best I've ever had. really amazing.
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012This is the classic, the unrefined original from which all steakhouses descend. Think of a dinner here as participation in a timeless urban experience.
Burger BedlamFebruary 3, 2011Aside from fantastic steak, Luger offers an amazing burger only offered until 3:30pm daily. For under $10, it's the best value there. Don't miss the tomatoes and onions with Luger Sauce either.
SparkieOctober 12, 2014make sure you save some room, this chophouse also dishes out some killer desserts like the “Holy Cow” Hot Fudge Sundae.
The Daily MealMarch 4, 2011To say Peter Luger Steak House is a New York institution isunderstatment. It has been doing steak since 1887.The menu is simple. Single steak, steak for two, steak for three, or steak for four. Read more
RossDecember 25, 2016Burger is pretty decent if you're not looking to go for a huge steak meal. Get the bacon, and dip the fries in the sauce.
Jeongin LeeJune 12, 2017amazing steak & all food. good service and pretty restaurant! definitely revisit the peter luger for steak!
vega ericMarch 31, 2011Get the cream spinach and the fries as your sides with your steak for 2. For the appetizer get the tomatoes and onions and put steak sauce on it. Delicious. For desert get cheese cake with wip cream.
C-Line EatsJanuary 22, 2017Come for lunch and get the burger. And German potatoes. You won't be disappointed. 🍔
JonJuly 23, 2016Go during lunch and have the Luger Burger with a slab of bacon! One of the best burgers I have ever had!
Theophilus LondonOctober 21, 2011I eat next to mobsters; they’re all having meetings and sh*t while I’m eating. I make the best steak ever, but this one is pretty damn close.
Phil BucklerSeptember 9, 2014Came here with 6 people. Service was great. A no-frills authentic steak house. The steak is sensational, obviously!
Friendliest people in the world. We're regulars here, and every waiter stops what they're doing and greets us. Every single one, even just in passing. How are you doing? Welcome back. Its amazing.
Buford BarnesMay 30, 2012Established 1887 as "Carl Luger's Café, Billiards and Bowling Alley" in the then-predominantly German neighborhood. Mostly continuously operated. Named best steakhouse 28 years in a row.- Mark RuizFebruary 21, 2012Peter Luger's never gets old! Family-sized portions encourage a great way to steady sample different dishes with close friends and family. Don't forget to order the bacon!
The Corcoran GroupApril 23, 2010Go on Saturday afternoon and try the burger. It’s only $8 and it’s the freshest, tastiest burger.
Louis VuittonMay 2, 2012No New York experience is complete without a hunk of spectacular steak. No one brings it better than Peter Luger. No need to even ask for a menu! Just get a steak!
Tony XerriAugust 14, 2017The steaks would taste better if everybody wasn't such D-bags. Literally heard someone try to get a table with no reservation saying "We work at Goldman Sachs". Seriously? Kills the vibe entirely.- Serious EatsApril 19, 2013Chef Daniel Holzman loves the burger here because of the high quality meat and excellent execution.
My fave steakhouse in NY! Their dry aged beef is so tasty. Love the porterhouse with bacon, German fried potatoes, creamed spinach... OH MY ;-)
Brian PMay 23, 2016Simply the best! Porterhouse served medium rare, no other options. Cash only unless you call ahead and get your check approved.
Chev WOctober 20, 2018Very casual place. No need to dress up (or have manners and volume control based on the current patrons in the dining room) 😳
Jag FirerwalkerDecember 27, 2015Burry me here. The steak, applestrudel and the whipped cream (schlag) is un be liev able
- Lindsay CMay 1, 2016Classics never go out style. Peter Luger does steak, seafood and sides (like their famous creamed spinach) right!
Adam DAugust 28, 2016Legendary steaks. Always order extra meat and take it home. Their steak sauce is basically cocktail sauce which is strange.
The steak for two is fantastic, but you MUST leave room for dessert - the Holy Cow sundae is out of this world.- Nate FolkertJanuary 16, 2015don't pretend you're being healthy by passing up on some schlag whipped cream with dessert. too late to redeem yourself now
eric mortensenJune 2, 2012Masterful burgers with nothing but perfectly cooked beef and some fresh onion. But they don't serve them all day, so show up early.
Bachelor10April 23, 2011Have the bacon as an appetizer and try the lambchops as an intermizzo. And, if you have room, get the Apple Strudel for dessert with “schlag”, Peter Luger’s version of heavy whipped cream. Read more
