What People Are Saying About Peter Luger Steakhouse
The Editor
Allison Austin
Citysearch
Expect no frills at this working-man's steakhouse, a local landmark since 1887. Diners don't even get menus unless they ask; waiters are tersely matter-of-fact. The dining rooms, with their exposed beams and worn wooden furniture, are far brighter than they ought to be. But don't complain too loudly: Luger's fiercely loyal regulars will defend the place as passionately as they would their own mothers. Everyone orders the hand-picked, dry-aged porterhouse steaks, and the butter-sluiced slabs arrive on lava-hot platters (remove the steak quickly to avoid overcooking). German fried potatoes and creamed spinach are fine sides; starters include a salad of thick-cut tomatoes and onions, and crispy double-thick bacon.

We made a reservation 4 weeks in advance, it took 45-1 hour to get a table. The matrede Alex was extremely rude, obnoxious, unapologetic, mean.....definitely not a good start to a nice evening in a well knowns place. The food is overrated - I have had many steaks that were 200% better in the past, the waiters are abrupt, quick, you feel like they are trying to chase you out form the place. Not a clean place, not a smile in the room from staff...this place needs to go. There are so many other places in Brooklyn or NY City that would treat their customers so much better and you will get a much better meal for much less....AVOID THIS PLACE! NVER AGAIN!

This place is sooo brutally overrated! The food is just average, the menu is very limited. Their service doesn't leave you feel like a valued customer to say the least....Dinner for 4 cost us about $700 (cash only). Nothing special, extremely uninviting atmosphere....Huge disappointment!

Waiters grab raw bacon with their bare hands and continue to work without washing their hands. Steaks fall on the floor and get thrown back on he grill. Burgers are kept unrefrigerated throughout lunch hours. 12 to 4. Bacteria builds up and multipies every half hour and excrete all over your fresh burger. Creatures are plentiful in the storage area. Raw meat is left on trays that waiters clean the tables with. The worst is that gross bucket of dirty still water they keep in the dinning room to "clean tables with". Rude, Dirty and Gross. Save Yourselves . Goto a diffrent steak house.
