The cheeseburger was nicely seasoned and cooked to requested temp (medium). Served with raw onions by default, simple. Onion rings were more of strings, a bit on the greasy side.

One of the best steaks in NYC. I would recommend a medium rare cook. Don't u dare skipping the dessert. The Sunday ice cream and the cheese cake are both INCREDIBLY amazing.

Porterhouse steak, creamed spinach, and if you're here for lunch, the Lugar Burger!! Make a reservation if possible.
Erik CintronOctober 13, 2011
The best steak house in NYC not only cuz everything is delicious but because the staff is golden the ambiance is perfect. Cash only and I love the old bar and old wooden floors not changed love it!!!

Do yourself a favor & get a the Luger-Burger for lunch, with cheese. Get tomatos & onion, bacon, and fries for the table. You won't be disappointed by the best burger in the city. Make a reservation.

Great steak for two,nice bacon and tasty desserts. But the truth is I really can’t find many reasons to justify if it is worth paying that much money for a not so extraordinary steak.
Betül KonuralpJuly 10, 2014
Of course steak is perfect. What I want to suggest is Peter Luger Cabernet Sauvignon wine. We've tried 2012, it was perfect, aromatic. I definitely suggest that.

This burger is only served at lunch, until 3:45 p.m. daily. Toppings include thick cut bacon or cheese, but lettuce and tomato are not suggested. It's all about the meat. Read more

Delish! Sliced Tomato w/ Lugar's Sauce, Extra Thick Bacon, Porterhouse, German Fried Tomatoes, and Creamy Spinach! Get any of the desserts. No Credit Cards.

The whole meal was amazing. Is it the best steak and sides I've ever had? No, but it was certain worth the price in the experience and pretty tasty food.
EdykatOctober 27, 2017
Steak is the BEST.Advise to make early reservation before you come. Waiting are not advisable. Make sure you also bring enough cash because this Resturant don’t accept credit card.

No matter where you are, let us tell you that this is worth the trip! Order the porterhouse that gives a large portion of juicy and absolutely flavorful meat – a taste you can’t stop thinking about.

Dry-aged porterhouse for two is a work of carnivorous art. The steaks are every bit as good as they're said to be. (Prime Meats, Porter House New York, Minetta Tavern, and Prime House New York.) Read more
Janet YuApril 24, 2012
It's a must-go steak house in Brooklyn. Porterhouse , bacon and tomato are must have. You might be able to get a table If you go to the one in Great Neck on weekday night without reservations.
Vicky NgMay 5, 2013
Best Porterhouse steak I've ever had! Unable to reserve a table for dinner, so we went during lunch time. Our porterhouse for 2 has been cooked perfectly as requested.
Edwina McGregorAugust 21, 2017
Quite possibly one of the best burgers I've ever had. No frills here, just a straight up cheeseburger. How it should be.
Cole KennedyJanuary 21, 2023
Good experience, and honestly a $22-ish cheeseburger isn’t all that expensive nowadays, but you only need to do it once, in my opinion.
Jayson MJune 6, 2015
Make a reservation in advance and be sure to try the bacon as it's amazing and the cream spinach is to die for! Don't forget to eat your gold medallion!
jake furstMarch 7, 2013
start with the bacon, and don't fill up on the onion rolls. get your steak one level less cooked than you normally would; you can cook it more on your 1000 degree plate. oh, and do NOT ask for a menu.
New York PostAugust 18, 2014
The fabled sliced porterhouse rarely disappoints. And although most go for steak, starters and sides have stealthily upped their game in recent years. Read more

Steak for two (or more) spinach, home fries, bacon slices and importantly tomato and onion slices with sauce.
Amanda WhittemoreDecember 3, 2012
Even with a reservation there's always a wait but enjoy it...it's all part of the experience. Get the bacon. And order your steak rarer than you like - it cooks even more on the plate.
Bruno VictorinoMay 11, 2013
We asked Steak for two and It was very delicious. We walked in, so, they made we wait for over 40 minutes to sit down. While waiting Nut Brown beer is the must. Try to make an reservation to not wait.
Jay EaglesonMarch 24, 2015
Legendary steakhouse. The service is great. The food is good, but you're definitely paying for the history and atmosphere of this old fashioned steakhouse.
Louis VelazquezAugust 15, 2012
Doesn't matter where you come from, if you visit NYC then visiting Peter Lugers in Williamsburg Brooklyn is a must, short cab ride from LES, you wont be disappointed make sure to bring your wallet

Come here for lunch. Easier to score a close-in reservation and the burger is one of their best-kept secrets.

Order: Steak for however many people in your party, bacon for every 2 people, tomatoes, any dessert with schlag. Be happy.
Alex FishMay 30, 2015
Came for the lunch burger and it was worth it. Save room for the holy cow sundae at the end!
Richard RevillaAugust 20, 2012
Everyone should go here once in their life. Amazing place to have a steak, bacon, tomatoes and onions. Bring CASH and good luck with the reservations.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014
You can’t go more old school than Peter Luger’s. Their porterhouse steak and tomatoes and onions with steak sauce are the best of classic New York cool.
Sacha SJuly 14, 2017
Best steak house in town. Get the bacon as a starter. The service is brilliant! If you love steak this is a must!
Pedro Henrique CostaSeptember 18, 2016
Amazing! The best steak i ever had!Very professional people working there. Dont forget to book a table before! Its VERY crowded.. always..
BravoNovember 19, 2010
I crave the bacon with their special tomato sauce at least twice a week, a must-go to restaurants at least once in your life. If you're in Manhattan it's just a short train ride to Williamsburg. -Alex
Deb WunderDecember 2, 2016
My steak & creamed spinach were excellent. My roommate enjoyed her chopped steak, mashed potatoes & sauteed onions. Good coffee with dessert, too.
Marc CohenJanuary 15, 2017
Thick cut bacon, all steaks, and the schlag for desert. Best steakhouse in NYC.
Honghui YuOctober 27, 2014
The steak here is super expensive but so worth it. Also, if you're going to come here, just go for the steak. You can get fancy burgers elsewhere for much cheaper!
AmateurConciergeOctober 30, 2015
Is it overrated? Yes. Will the decor not be what you expected? Probably. But is the steak swimming in butter amazing? Almost always.
Henry YuanMay 21, 2013
Steak for two is flawless and their signature sauce perfectly compliments it! Bacon was incredible (not too salty and not TOO fatty) and thick but the stuffed potato was just "eh."
Jackie LedanyMarch 7, 2016
Bacon, steak, shrimp cocktail, German potatoes, French fries, creamed spinach, holy cow hot fudge sundae
Lane RettigDecember 28, 2015
Bring your appetite! Order the steak medium rare; it continues to cook after its served and gets better and better!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013
Begin with shrimp cocktail or a wedge salad, then Porterhouse with French fries & creamed spinach, then cheesecake. – Green Guide Editor

Bring some money and give it to the matridee to skip out on waiting for a table. Order the bacon, creamed spinach, and a steak for two. Also use the steak sauce on the bread!!
Tony XerriOctober 6, 2022
Just revisited after a few years and my position remains... the medium rare burger, is better than the steak. Don't @ me...
Max SullivanAugust 6, 2012
In a room that harkens back to old NY and German ale-houses, Peter Luger offers the best steaks you're ever going to have. Hold the sauce for a few bites to take in the naked nirvana. Cash only.
