Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Peter Luger Steak House from around the web.
"Dry-aging was the standard aging process up until twenty years ago. As explained by Rob Walsh (see link below), "In this process, carcasses are hung for up to five weeks in a cool, well-ventilated meat locker at 85 percent relative humidity...."
"i'd waited weeks to go to the place and have their burger, but the waiter who served us totally ruined my day and actually made me cry. my mom and i got there and had to wait for more than 10 minutes to order...."
"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..."
"This institution's legions of fans attest that there is no better meat to be found anywhere in the world. The dry-aged steaks are slabs to salivate over, and are always broiled to juicy perfection...."
"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...."
"If you love steak, then book a table here and hop a cab to Williamsburg. Expect loads of attitude and nothing in the way of decor or atmosphere (beer hall is the theme) -- but this 114-year-old institution is porterhouse heaven...."
""Wow" is the only word that comes to mind when you bite into Luger's porterhouse. This famous steakhouse deserves its reputation as one of America's best -- they take meat seriously and they do it right...."
"If you are a trasplant from somewhere else save this for when mom and dad visit. The wait staff is gruff, experienced and it is often best to just say we are here for steak and let them handle the order...."
"When John brought out the steak, the sputtering of the hot grease on the plate reminded me of the entrance applause when I saw Liev Shreiber step out on the Talk Radio stage on Broadway. The supporting dishes are all great, but the steak is the star of th..."
"If the cut of meat and aging process which is supposed to make this place so special really was, then I sure could not tell. The meat was not tough but all of the "melt in your mouth like butter" claims just were not true...."
"The high expectations of this classic steakhouse were offset by merely average food. I will begin with the tomato and onion which was nothing special and couldn't be saved by the imfamous Peter Lugers sauce...."
"For more than a century, this bare-boned Brooklyn institution has been serving top-notch steaks with to-die-for sauces, first-rate burgers and a bevy of sides dishes. Frequented by businessmen, tourists and local gourmands alike, it's a must for any self-..."
"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..."
"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 !..."
"Next we shared a porterhouse steak medium rare with a side of potatoes and creamed spinach. The porterhouse steak is Peter Luger’s specialty and it’s an enourmous cut...."
""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...."
"While traveling in Maine, a bartender who was orginally from New York, recommended we try Peter Luger Steakhouse if we ever had the chance. This past week, we were in Great Neck, New York and sure enough...."
"If you want to eat at Peter Luger's, be sure to make your reservation 2 weeks in advance. You can only make a reservation by calling directly--I wish they would allow you to make them through their website...."
"Peter Luger's is arguably the best steakhouse in New York City, making it well worth the trip into Brooklyn. This place has been serving top quality beef for over 100 years...."
