Have I Found NYC's BEST STEAKHOUSE? EMPIRE Steak House, By Former PETER LUGER Employees!

- Among all the iconic steakhouses of New York City, such as Keens Steakhouse, Peter Luger, Gallaghers, and Old Homestead just to name a few, I would argue that a less historical steakhouse in NYC takes the cake over all of them. Last week I got to try Empire Steak House in Midtown, Manhattan, and it was not only one of the best steaks in NYC, it was one of the best steaks I have ever had! And with how great of a steak city New York is, it is for sure one of the best steakhouses in America!
Empire Steak House is another member of the Peter Luger Steak House tree. Just like Benjamin's Steakhouse, and Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Empire Steak House and Peter Luger also have a connection, as it was opened by former employees of the Brooklyn iconic steakhouse. However, it is a bit different from Wolfgang's which is more or less a clone of Peter Luger. Empire Steak House has a different feel than Peter Luger. It has more of a sophisticated and upscale vibe, while retaining the classic Peter Luger sizzling butter steak preparation method!

😀😀Good Review UA...Thanks bro..
The world's first well-rare steak.
I get you're making a joke, but check out Pittsburgh-style steak, also known as black-and-blue. It's a hard, hard char on the outside while staying very rare on the inside. Not all steakhouses can do it, as it can be both tricky, and demanding of special attention (two things a busy kitchen doesn't love), but I really like it.
Actually this is a pretty common style in NY, doing it that way for decades, its the sear, slice, broil method... its a great way to share a porterhouse
that's a form of lazy cooking.... just put the steak into the broiler or flip once cooking always get the grey - red - grey results..... well cooked steak needs to be flipped many times to let the heat distribute evenly for an even cook..... but of course sous vide makes the perfect steak
@@fatdoi003I find sois víde looks good but I find it less flavorful
Nothing makes my day more than seeing a UA Premiere come across my YT feed. And STEAK!
If you’re into wagyu, I’d love to see reviews of some of the Korean BBQ spots like Côte or Hyun which have great wagyu add ons. I think you’d enjoy them!
Wonderful review, UA. The restaurant in itself was beautiful. The steak looked amazing.
It was definitely one of the most beautiful restaurants I've reviewed so far. Maybe only Delmonico's tops this one
Fantastic review as usual dude, looked delicious!
Thank you!
You know when UA makes that 'stank-face', you know the food is bussing! 😂😂😂😂 great review
The servers must think "Omg we fukked up big time!"
@@jessekuchinski1172 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Luke, I am your steak house!
Vader: Impressive... (Looks at sear)... Most impressive...
Really enjoy his reviews!!!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching the vid!
Not sure if I’ve ever commented on any of your videos but enjoying them the more I watch keep it up UA 👏🏻👍🏻🍽️🍴🍽️ definitely the last sushi videos being from So Cal
I got UA's reference! It was Sauron from Harry Potter, played by Patrick Stewart.
UA Eats Japan episode, sounds legit to me! 🙌🙌🙌
It's my dream to make that series someday! Even if it doesn't do well views-wise it would be a big passion project
@@uaeatsI can relate ngl cause me personally want to visit Japan like forever
Quick he's from TH-cam! Get him creamed spinach! Another great video.
This will be a day long remembered.
Dinner steak > lunch steak it seems xD ; great review UA!
Finely honed review undergirded by UA's special brand of contagious enthusiasm! Kudos! While, in my view, Delmonico's and Gallagher's stand as unequaled icons in the context of total NYC steakhouse dining experience, I readily concur that Empire offers first-rate culinary options worthy of significant accolades.
Love your Video's UA! Can't wait to see you in Kobe Japan! Greetings from Curacao, Dutch Caribbean! 🤗🤗
Someday!
I love your reviews and find you the most entertaining food critic on youtube
Thank you for the kind words!
cant wait for UA to reach 100k subs. here comes another livestream to celebrate 100k subs haha
How I wish, how I pray UA one day will visit three star restaurants like Arzak in San Sebastián, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence and Frantzén in Stockholm. Yes, it will be costly, but let's support his culinary mission and aid him whether he wants to dine well in America or anywhere else.
I'd be down someday! Though my 3 star reviews usually make me many enemies lol
Outstanding review well done
Thank you!
A suggestion for you UA. Try not to compare the place/item you're reviewing to others in your reviews. Let their product/service do the talking for them. I don't care about Peter Luger steak if I'm at Empire...they won't be the same and it's unfair to compare things like that, which you seem to do in every review. Just review what's in front of you and tell us what you think. Now that said...sure looks like Empire is a pretty good deal for lunch. Maybe at the end, you can rank them like Doug DeMuro....a UA Eats Rating....unless that's copyrighted..haha.
Love the Star Wars reference!
“The A5 Wygu will give you unlimited power!!” 😊
Well that's looks delicious.
It tasted pretty good too!
UA always plays with his food, I’m surprised he hasn’t done an asmr video at all
Wow two handed buttering ................👍👍
Insert 2001 Space Odyssey theme while I'm buttering with two hands and jumping around making monkey sounds
@@uaeats 😀😀
Not a steak fan. However, I like watching you. Hope you enjoyed your meal!
That steak sauce had more preservatives and additives than a Hungry-Man Salisbury Steak frozen dinner.
Nice review buddy you should be wearing that Philly hat be proud of it😂🇺🇸
Nice Vlog. The steak looked tasty.. Jim and Harriet
I stay at the hotels next to Empire Steak House when I visit NYC, so I will have to check it out.
It sounds like you put an “h” after the “c when you pronounce “Worcestershire”. Put the accent on the first syllable.
@@MrStan0630 It's actually pronounced Worcestershire sauce.
A good steak is my favorite meal
I enjoy your steak house reviews
$19.99 for a small salad is wild.
Man, you make me want to go there ASAP!
Should have bought a dessert. Hehehe
Oh and also, do a review of the famous Artichoke Pizza in Manhattan please ❤
I'm going to Strip House on 44th in December. Hope you do a review on it
Great review as always! Any plans to visit Capitol Grill?
A Bronx Tail, very cool reference🤙🏻
I love "healthy" Ceasar salads. Looked good to me.
Good stuff, UA, Visually delightful.
Please go to Goldees, Franklin BbQ and Snow’s. I’d like to see you try exceptional Texas meats for comparison to NYC meat
The only thing I would like for me and you guys are be in a video.
Hanu beef in Korea!
Knocked it out of the park again!! Thanks UA!!
Now I gotta go try Empire ….. it looked really good….
Really? The steak looked like ass
Looks amazing to me, I think the prices seem good
Just say "Wooster" as in Bertie. The "shire" in not required. The steak looked "A1", also a British condiment created in 1824 by William Brand, chef to King George IV.
Nice. 👏
I got the reference.😉
Great, now i need a steak
Japan for sure!!! The sushi, UA!!!
Your jokes are awful.
And I love them 😂
If you want a nice char, try Strip House on 44th and 5th. Ave.
You should check out Del Frisco's in NYC
ask for some extra dressing on the side. For $20 for a caesar it should have quality cheese
It’s pronounced
WHISTER-SHEAR
Love your reviews!
More ribeye! The best 😊
Butter packets tell me all I need to know
Btw they didn’t coat the croutons in the dressing, Big Nono for caesar
It seems like your chewed the steak for a while. Was it more chewy than usual? Thanks.
I want UA to get to Thailand to get some street meat
Your eyes when you eat make me waff
Why did they cut the steak? I think most people are capable of doing that themselves.
Yum
Just a thought but you probably should have shaken the bottle of steak sauce
PLEASE and THANK YOU are not difficult brother
I like these videos but, man that painful looking grimace is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen someone do while eating.
Looks like he hates everything. I’d be embarrassed to be his server if I’m honest
Pausing at 4 mins in just to prove a point I last commented. I started the video, got sidetracked and went to get a drink, came back and he’s still talking about the menu.. the same thing happens with every drink or bite. Again, this is constructive criticism plz don’t take it to heart or as negative. Explain something, yes, but dragging it out is gonna either make people fast forward or skip the vid entirely. I’m truly trying to help here so do with this as you will
I will take JK steak house at mile post 9 OBX/NAGS HEAD North Carolina,aged,cooked over a 800f mesquite grill,best ive had
I think you were in error regarding their cuisine. I am a NYC native and had much better steak dinner's elsewhere.
So ASK for more dressing!
Iceberg lettuce??
You got a full menu, you don’t have to ask if you can order off it or not, don’t be a push over
Does anybody remember Tad’s Steaks? In NYC
How can a salad cost $20?
The Judge is still out on your pallet,seems many steaks or subs dont suit you or you have issue with discerning flavors and textures.Hope you fine tune your taste buds.
The “Judge” is still out on your ability to spell palate…
UA, you should try unicorn meat.
$69 steak and $20 Caesar with iceberg lettuce, Crazy
No thanks 😮
The Rolls look as from FOOD LION ...I want My Ceaser loaded
with ANCHVIES ...Store Butter wrap in Paper ?? TACKY ..For
the Money ..
29.95 for four pieces of shrimp?????!!
Steak looked amazing. But I'm so turned off that they have the audacity to serve pre packaged butter that I would skip this place for that alone
The butter game for sure was a bit lacking
I think the cook on this steak is basically perfect for what I want- this is basically the only way you get good crust and overall rare.medium rare interior. That being said, you were way to generous on literally everything else- Those buns came frozen and they served them to you undercooked, that sauce has HFCS unironically, and not even real tomatoes, the ceaser was dressed with Ken's, plus it was under mixed. It looks like they may or may not have given you real cheese, that looks like it may have been Parmesan as opposed to parmigiano reggiano or even pecorino romano. You say the cheese is good, so I believe you, but it certainly doesn't Look good for the price of 20 dollars.
I would come there for the steak but based on your review, I literally would refuse to buy anything else.
Have you ever eaten the fat part of a steak? If so, you’ve eaten A-5 Wagyu. Let’s not kid yourselves people. Just because you paid more than $100 doesn’t change the fact that Wagyu is a giant block of beef fat!
Are you of Mongolian descent? If so, that may explain why you love steak so much 😉
The spillage on the table cloth @ 12:56 is unacceptable. That is an amateur server better suited to Applebee’s.
Did this steakhouse serve orange soda? If it doesn’t it’s not a world class steakhouse.
NICE REVIEW UNTIL NEXT TIME
$7 salad for $19.99. Naw I’m good😅.
Oh Snap... Never Realized you haven't had "legit" A5 just fake Japanese Wagyu...
Wushurshur sauce 😂
It's pronounced Wur stir shur
Chimps can cook a steak. That's why I would never order one at a restaurant. I go out for food that takes a brigade de cuisine, not something I can easily make at home.
Sear or no sear, there is no trying.
How many Luger spinoffs are there? They all look the same.
UA’s inner self: stir salad to make dressing more evenly dispersed.
UA: need criticism content for this review. Leave salad as is.
I'll take , I'll take. How about i would like?? Be polite. Enough of the douche baggery.
the server wasnt so good.
It’s unfortunate that you don’t drink wine.
You’re missing a whole experience.
Being fortunate enough to grow up on a beef farm and having fresh T-bones spoiled me. Everyone in minnesota raves about Texas Roadhouse and how theyre perfectly cooked have had their steaks. Mine's better. Lol
Check out Cote!!!
It's definitely on the list! Waiting for the right time to snag a res
@@uaeats yay!!!
At 9:18 a portion of the piece looks raw
