"Looking for a rustic setting wherein you can devour a mammoth porterhouse and munch on fried potatoes? Remember not to ask for a menu, though, because they're reserved only for tourists of the most naive kind...."

"The Forman family bought the restaurant in 1950 from Peter Luger"s children, nine years after his death, and still run it. The famous prime short loins (the source of porterhouses) are expertly selected from competing purveyors by the finicky women in t..."

"I almost always try those places considered “the best” but very often I’m left wondering if I’m the only one who feels taken. But I only went once because though the steak was great the decor was not just dated, but a little bit un..."

"Peter Luger's Steakhouse has been winning the Zagat's Best Steakhouse of New York for so long (16 years running) that it's time to retire the award. It'll be like the Cy Young award in baseball: good candidates will win, but will never be as good as the...."

"If imitation is indeed flattery, then Peter Luger Steak House has cause to blush for the next 120 years. But not to gloat, and not to coast, and I’m convinced that this venerated and venerable New York institution is doing some of both...."

"Peter Luger's is old school, and "back in the day" (before the national chains arrived on the scene) I can completely understand that it was a special dining experience. But the Luger's concept of charring high quality, well aged, prime beef under intense..."

"A favorite of the mini-mogul set, Peter Luger Steak House has been serving the finest USDA Prime steaks since 1887. But you need not be a mogul to eat here; one of the biggest surprises is the chopped steak (a/k/a hamburger), possibly the very best in New..."
