Ate here twice and the steak was definitely great but I guess it was just as good as any other steak from a nice NYC steakhouse, didn't blow my socks off. However, the thick cut bacon appetizer, the wedge salad, and the chocolate sundae dessert were outrageously delicious, and most definitely did blow my socks off lol. The overall atmosphere and the service are fantastic as well. It's a pleasure to dine at Luger's.

I occasionally am able to purchase a decent prime cut at Costco, but there are grades of prime that only the high end steak houses get. Cooking a steak ain't hard. getting top prime is next to impossible. met a server from one of Chicago's top steakhouses and the guy tells me all his restaurant's meat comes from a farm in Minnesota who sells exclusively to his restaurant. Plan B - knock over a meat truck

[@natekong3596]

irv DOUCET yep, not only is it hard to get a Prime meat that top restaurants get, it is also very difficult to properly dry-age steak at home. There is a reason these restaurant can charge premium for their food.

Yeah, they get first choice. If you pay for it there's plenty of places that sell prime and aging it yourself is fairly easy. At least here in NY there are. You can also buy high grade meats online from reputable sellers. Even higher grades than usda prime. Costco sells decent cuts though. I've gotten plenty of great NY Strip steaks from there.

[@Ab4kus]

Notice how quickly this theory goes belly up when you replace it with other food. Why not have only pasta without the sauce? Or how about pizza sauce without the dough? Why not just bacon instead of adding the rest of the BLT? Food pairings are great because the sum is bigger than its parts when done right, and the only argument against it is puritanism.

[@intrepidnick2939]

It's just butter and the steak fat. Chill, dude.

[@strongfp]

Personally, I enjoy a steak for two reasons, first, if I want to have a steak I'll have it with no sauce. If I want to enjoy accompanying flavors that go well with the beef, especially beef such as USDA prime, sauce is always good. I find it rather frustrating when I admit I'll take a cut of Spanish, Argentinian or Canadian grass fed beef over wagyu style, or highly marbled corn fed. I enjoy the beefy flavor. One of my favorite ways to enjoy a steak is with a cream black pepper sauce. The Argentinians know what's up with their variations of sauces and methods of cooking beef.

[@JoshChristiane]

One of the smartest things any restaurant can do is keep their menu very small. It helps prevent people from sitting for an hour just staring at every item on the menu trying to decide on what to eat. But it also helps maintain a fresher menu, as the restaurant doesn't have to stock as much food/items, meaning the food they do stock will be more prevalent and less likely to be frozen. It ALSO means the cook's/chef are more prepared as they master each dish, they're well aware of every item on the menu since they aren't burdened with hundreds of recipes. Fresh food, and small seasonal menu's are far too uncommon in this industry. I won't even eat a restaurant if the menu is 200 items, because to me that means poor management and incompetent people running the kitchen. This restaurant is magnificent, and likely one of the best in NYC for the simple reason of keeping the menu small and mastering those dishes.

This is literally the first time in my life that I can watch a video about food and not be upset that I can't eat the food in the video. I'm pretty sure nobody cares, but if you ever experience this, you'll understand. Normally, I have to either settle for something not nearly as good as what's in the video, get up and drive to buy whatever is in the video, or just grit my teeth and convince myself I don't need it.

I've always known that I have to wait for a streak to set and rest before cutting it so why dont they do it?

[@Zechs113]

I believe the steaks are pre-sliced before cooking and basted with butter or something like that, it's not the juice from the meat that's sizzling around the steak. The had this place on a Food Network show before.

[@BRuane-pw6xq]

Both Lugar locations are great. I like the location on Long Island better.

[@nanchanger]

Why?

I'm a Keens man, but Peter Luger is amazing and worth the trip to Brooklyn

How are the mutton chops? When I’m in the city I usually stay in Brooklyn but I’ll take a trip to mid-town.

[@aitorjara100]

That filet was so overcooked you could still see the lava leaking out the edges

[@The_A_Cast]

Make sure to bring your wallet, plus some when going here! Don’t get me wrong, the steak is delicious, but when my boyfriend and I went there, we spent over $250, and we only got 2 steaks, salads and drinks!

[@bigtravis6159]

There have been several steak houses opened in the NYCD but Delmonico’s is my go to , Peter Luger is a destination meal when in the town

Lol atleast 220$

[@Lichtts]

It’s actually a lot cheaper than many manhattan steakhouses

[@modernmedeamedia]

Its expensive but you dont regret it. One of the best meals you'll ever have.

[@brandonknowles2246]

Who’s here because of joe rogan?

[@yittmashups]

I heard the "0 stars" bit on JRE so had to search out the actual review. The NY Times restaurant review rating system is absolutely asinine. Here it is, in their wording: It ranges from 0 to 4 stars: 0 stars is "poor, fair or satisfactory" (0 stars out of 4 can be 'satisfactory' lol). 1 star out of 4 is "good" (lol) 2 stars out of 4 is "very good". 3 stars out of 4 is "excellent" 4 out of 4 "is outstanding.

Luger's is awesome. Was there 2013 and we'd a great German-American waiter. Top experience to tick (one of many) off on a visit to New York City.

[@johnfogg2548]

"How does it taste? .... that is incredibly tender" If you're going to do somthing like this, please understand the difference between tenderness and flavor" That said, the place is great. The flavor of the dry age is perfect. Earthy, nutty, funky. I just wish it penetrated deeper.

[@spencerpencer]

John Fogg i would say that the texture of food on your palate is part of the tasting experience and definitely warrants a comment.

[@TheOfficialChonDeeble]

John Fogg some people are textural eaters. I personally care about both (as I think most people in the comments do), so I would have appreciated more input on the flavour.

[@lemonidasm2530]

@@stevemarch1512 Dear Steve thank you for the scientific explanation (no sarcasm here). Myoglobin or not they do it to everything related to beef meat. Would you happen to know why they do the same in burgers please ? I love beef steaks when i make them they re well done still juicy and soft but no red. For example in my country sometimes we like eating lamb and goat meat . Would you eat these kinds of meat cooked like that (rare to medium rare) ? Thank you

I was born and raised in Williamsburg only a few blocks away from them. I would walk by their restaurant as a kid and wondered if I would ever eat there. Still haven't, but that's because I left NY.
