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!

      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

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.

    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.

    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.
