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
Sam GilFebruary 1, 2018Steak great, creamed spinach amazing, vibe amazing. Recommend. Won’t be my number 1 steak but it’s still up there.
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.
Francisco Perez TorresMay 27, 2017The tomatoes with the steak sauce were great, the steak to die for, the bar was excellent!
Mark CohenOctober 14, 2014Lives 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?
- Nate FolkertJanuary 16, 2015super thick slice of bacon goes well with the tomato and onion appetizer slathered in luger sauce
The Wall Street JournalMay 12, 2010This decidedly old-school steakhouse is a rite of passage for Wall Street traders willing to shell out $88 for the signature porterhouse for two. Lunch reservations are doable, but bring cash. Read more
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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
Jeongin LeeJune 12, 2017amazing steak & all food. good service and pretty restaurant! definitely revisit the peter luger for steak!
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.
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!
Phil BucklerSeptember 9, 2014Came here with 6 people. Service was great. A no-frills authentic steak house. The steak is sensational, obviously!
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.- 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!
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.
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.
The Corcoran GroupApril 23, 2010Go on Saturday afternoon and try the burger. It’s only $8 and it’s the freshest, tastiest burger.
- Serious EatsApril 19, 2013Chef Daniel Holzman loves the burger here because of the high quality meat and excellent execution.
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.
Brian PMay 23, 2016Simply the best! Porterhouse served medium rare, no other options. Cash only unless you call ahead and get your check approved.
My fave steakhouse in NY! Their dry aged beef is so tasty. Love the porterhouse with bacon, German fried potatoes, creamed spinach... OH MY ;-)
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!
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!
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) 😳
The steak for two is fantastic, but you MUST leave room for dessert - the Holy Cow sundae is out of this world.
Adam DAugust 28, 2016Legendary steaks. Always order extra meat and take it home. Their steak sauce is basically cocktail sauce which is strange.
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
