The steak is pure and delicious. I recommend medium rare which is much more favorful than medium well. The side vegetables are unexpectedly good. Compared to steak houses in the same category as Peter Luger's, the pricing is excellent. There is enough space between tables that bringing kids would be fine.

i am slowly on my way to becoming a vegetarian, but our medium rare was truly to die for. i do not know what they did to that cow, but it's absolute magic by the time it gets to you. we were worried by accounts of scary waiters, but ALL of ours were absolutely doting and fantastic. worth the wait for a reservation, or for those looking for a way back from the vegan world.

Peter Luger is hands down the best steak in New York.I have not had a better steak any where in the world as a matter of fact.Many places try to copy from them,but none can come close.Simply the best.

Forget all the people who say that it is over rated. Go for the Steak, love it for the onions and tomatoes and the bacon. A true steak eater will tell you that this is the best steak in New York City without a doubt. Forget the steak sauce, I love its juices!

I usually go with my fiancee, but it is always my choice. It isn't fancy(which makes me like it more), but it is no doubt the best steak in NYC. I love the fact that it is simple to order, when you decide you are going to Luger's you have already decided what you are going to eat! Some feel the service is a little short witht the customer's, but that is part of the old school charm. If you crack a joke with your server, he is likely to crack one better back at ya. The more you go, the more you appreciate what this establishment represents.....Oh yeah, and nobody makes a stronger drink at the bar, so be careful if you drove, ha,ha.

So you want to experience what a steak in New York is all about…well then go to Peter Lugers. Hands down, no questions asked, the best steaks in NY. With it’s simple formula; age the steaks till the mold gets nice and thick, then cook them to perfection, they can do no wrong. I was once told by a waiter that if I saw what that meat looked like hanging in the back, I wouldn’t be drooling over it as he placed it down on the table. There is no special décor, or snotty wait staff. Its classic food at it’s best. I’m not big on the creamed spinach, even though I am told it is out of this world. What I do love is a nice piece of steak with some golden and crisp fries along side. It’s a great place to be noisy and eat till your blue in the face. I think both may actually be encouraged at this place. Great for large groups because you can get steaks for 2, 3, 4 etc and they arrive sliced and ready to go at the table. A true NYC landmark.

Steak just melts in your mouth. Waiters, a species unto themselves with their wise-cracking witticisms. Worth the trip across the Williamsburg Bridge for a great steak dinner. Don't forget the tomato and onion salad,the creamed spinach, and the hash browns.

All must bow to the great purveyor of the best Porterhouse you will ever have in your life. No one can come close to this Valhalla of beef. Poor wine list, but it is the only game in town if you are a steak lover, and shame on you if you've never been!

THe food was delicious. The steak was medium rare with flowing juices. It tasted like butter. THe creamed spinach was incredible. I practically ate the whole bowl by myself. Tried the other Peter Luger in Great Neck. Less crowded and did not feel rush. Food was still amazing. Would go back but may go back to Great Neck instead. THe only reservations in Brooklyn are 5:45 or 10:00. Great Neck I got 9.
