Peter Luger Steak House

Pros: One of the GREATEST steaks in America
Cons: Way off the beaten path...but worth the hassle....in fact...WELL worth it!

New York City offers a visitor a lot of unusual experiences - that's for sure. But one of the most unique moments in my culinary life occured when a good friend of mine took me to Peter Luger Steakhouse (178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211).

Pros: The King of all Steak Houses
Cons: None so far

Peter Luger Steak House is no ordinary Steak House. It is the king of all steak houses. This is the Steak house that people from all around the world go to. This is the Steak House that other steak house owners go to. This restaurant has been in the...

Pros: An entertaining and memorable evening guaranteed.
Cons: None, if this is the type of experience you are looking for. Otherwise, why go?

My eternally stubborn younger brother is in town visiting this week. He thinks he is the authority on good food. (Imagine that, Epicure's little brother has some strong opinions about food - wonder where that came from?) He insists that no sushi place...

Pros: If heaven has steak, it will taste like Luger steak ~ Awesome spinach
Cons: Bland decor (but who really cares) ~ Four people, $189 bill

I'd heard all the stories. I'd read the epinions. I'd seen it on television. And after a $15 cab ride from the Central Park area, I was at Peter Luger steakhouse. The exterior is nothing special. It's not the greatest of neighborhoods, but unless...

Pros: Went to Brooklyn for the first time...or is that a con.
Cons: Steak wasn't cooked properly and appetizers were boring.

This was my first trip to NYC, and everyone told me that the trip would not be complete without a meal at Peter Luger's. My boyfriend and I went there for lunch since we couldn't get a dinner reservation at a reasonable time. The menu is very ...

Pros: Steaks are supberb and melt in your mouth; one of a kind experience.
Cons: The atmosphere is nothing special but are we really going there for that?

Let me begin by saying that my husband works for the largest meat distributor in the country. They sell the highest quality meat to the finest steakhouses in New York City. Peter Luger Steakhouse is one of those companies that he deals with.

Pros: The best steak dinner you will ever have
Cons: It's 3000 miles away from where I live

Ask anyone who's ever lived around the Tri-State area where the best steak is, and 90% will tell you it's at Peter Luger's in Brooklyn. It's won the award for the best steak in the tri-state area from Zagat's 18 years in a row. Mention to anyone that...

Pros: Good food, efficient service.
Cons: No frills. Looks like my uncle's basement rec-room from 1965

I finally had my first meal at Peter Lugers last night. Overall I liked it but I don't think it is a near religious experience as some might tell you.

As you probably know by now it is very easy to order as there's only a few things you can...

Pros: Meat! Lunch specials for the best bang for your buck and porterhouse for two!
Cons: Cost. 3pm lunch cut off time.

What Intrigued Me about Peter Luger's: NY has many landmark steakhouses. Although Peter Luger cannot be considered a Manhattan institution on account of it being a stone throw away in Brooklyn, it has served the likes of royalty, politicians, pop ...

Pros: mindblowing steaks, Canadian bacon, Tom Collins
Cons: Brooklyn can be a bit noisy and smelly

If you're a New Yorker, no one has to tell you about Peter Luger. It's more than a steakhouse--it's a rite of passage, a celebration of meat and tradition, an event honoring the almighty art of eating.

We've been eating Peter Luger steak for...

Pros: large amounts of food
Cons: not much selection and mucho dinero

I must admit right off the bat that I do not have an incredibly well-developed palate for meat. I have found that my husband and I will enjoy a London broil, well marinated and broiled, without having to pay more than $3.59 a pound. But my...

Pros: STEAK, STEAK, STEAK
Cons: Not much

Peter Luger's is the best steakhouse in America! I would venture to say in the world, but I have only been to steakhouses in America, so I will stick to what I know. Located in Brooklyn, Peter Luger's is a short, safe cab ride away from Manhattan. The...

Pros: Food, atmosphere, service.
Cons: That I can't go ever day.

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...

Pros: The best steak ever!
Cons: A little pricey, but what isn't in New York? It is well worth it!!!

I was never one to prefer steak, anyway. Now I refuse ALL steak unless it is steak from Peter Luger's. The steak here is the best, most melt-in-your mouth steak there ever will be. I challenge anyone to find a better steak.

At first glance,...

Pros: Great steak.. One of the best I've had.
Cons: Service is not too good. Restaurant located in a bad neighborhood.

The stakes in the Peter Lugar Steak House are to die for. It makes you wonder why you ever eaten stake at any other place. Other than steak, their side orders were good as well, but nothing to rave about. My friend ordered the lamb chops along with...
