I went to Peter Luger last night. I ate big bacon, steak, creamy spinch and German french fried. The bacon is delicious, big and thick. It is tasty. The steak is nothing special. It is a little bit burning. It is a little dry. I feel like if I make it at home, it will taste better. The creamy spinch is nothing special. I try the frozen cremy spinch. It tastes the same, not impressive. The German French Fried is burning. It is hard to eat. It looks like pan fried potates. Nothing special. In my conclusion, it is good to try why it is the number 1 steak house. But I feel like nothing special. The price that you paid for, it is not worth it.

Second to none.

the porterhouse is what dreams are made of. i've been coming here since the 1960's. it's a steak house; it's for the hunter in us, not the effete "how d'you maitre d'" type who coddles and is a sycophant. It's "sit down, what do you want, eat." it's about the animal in us. this is not foie gras; it's steak! it you want to be coddled, go somewhere else and stop complaining. there's never been a steak like the ones served here. plain and simple.

First vist in may 2011. The steak was very good. Service excellent. My wife and I had steak for two at 82.50 and 3 glasses of house red wine. Total bill including tip was $190.00. Very overpriced!

I went to Luger's for the first time yesterday for lunch. We walked up to the hostess, who greeted us with "what do you want". A nice start to the most disappointing experience I've had at a steakhouse. I ordered the lunch steak for 1 medium rare, it came medium to medium well. My water glass was empty the entire meal and my iced tea was never re-filled. The only thing our waiter said to us the entire time we were there was, "we dont have lemonade". He literally dropped off our food and walked away, never once asking if everything was cooked properly, how it tasted, did we need anything, nothing. For a $36 lunch steak, I can honestly say I have grilled better at home and or any other chain had this steak beat. I will never go back and no one should waste their time or money going to this place.

Went to Lugers on a very busy Saturday night and was seated promptly by the host. Ordered shrimp cocktail, which was massive. The bacon, which was delicious and a Caesar salad. For steak, our party of 4 shared two porterhouses f or two, cooked medium rare as requested. Also ordered creamed spinach and the french fries which were nice and large. While all very full, we split a piece of the apple strudel and the chocolate mousse pie which were both on target. All in all, a great meal and a great time. Looking forward to my next visit.

Was really looking forward to going to this place for my bro's birthday. We've been to so many steak houses in NYC and decided that this was the time for "the best". I can say that the creamed spinach was the best I've had and that "special sauce" that goes on everything was quite tasty - but I don't think you can continue a reputation based on spinach and sauce - yikes! We all sent back lots of fat and grizzle on our plates - some pretty inedible stuff. The whole steak "thing" was just not special at all. Well - I've been to Luger's and now my search can continue for a steak in a restaurant that's at least as good and hopefully better than what I can do on the grill at home.
