Profile
The room isn't handsome, street-slick, or even particularly welcoming. It recalls the kind of establishment that sports a banner running from beam to beam every year proclaiming !oktoberfest! The patrons may have come here straight from their booths at the Javits Center. The staff goes about its nonstop business with cordial if mechanical efficiency, serving onion-and-tomato salads, creamed spinach, and pasty fried potatoes. So why is it always more crowded than Toys 'R' Us on the weekend before Christmas? Because there are few gastronomic sensations that confirm the good life better than a hunk of a spectacular steak. And Peter Luger can broil and deliver one magnificently aged and marbleized two-finger-thick porterhouse after another with the unfailing certainty of Dustin Hoffman adenoidally reciting baseball scores. So don't even ask for a menu. Get big. Eat beef.

Went because of all the reviews and awards. However it was a disaster from the min i walked to the door. Doorman did not open door instead just stared at me. Waitstaff was rude and condescending. Interrupted our conversation several times just to make a remark about us not finishing our appetizer and entree. Hash browns were burnt to crisp and served on my dress and table instead of on my plate. Waiter did not even apologize! Steak (ribeye) was well cooked however bland & gritty. Even outback has better steak and SERVICE. Luger's needs to retrain their staff or check their attitude. If you want good service and food AVOID this place. It is riding on their reputation far too much. Huge let down.
Who says reputaton don't last forever

Ok -- Peter Luger has been milking it for years. I was there a couple months ago -- in a word, dreadful. Cmon .. even outback gets you a better steak ... Better off at 100 other NYC steak places that are better .. just name one it likely to be better than Peter Luger's
