- Brooklyn's Peter Luger Steak House was once regarded as hands down the best steak in NYC, if not the entire world! While not the oldest steakhouse in NYC, it is one of the oldest, and staff who have left to open their own restaurants have had tremendous success. Wolfgang's Steakhouse and Benjamin's Steakhouse were both opened by former Peter Luger employees and both are among the best steakhouses in NYC, having been trained well at Peter Luger.
In recent years, Peter Luger has begun receiving much criticism over the inconsistency of their food. Pete Wells' Peter Luger NY Times review was a devastating 0.8/4.0, as he famously said there is not much reason to eat there anymore. In 2022, Peter Luger lost its Michelin star after holding one star every year since 2006. Criticism of Peter Luger's food as being inconsistent was persistent for much of the past 10 years. This channel was even put on the map due to a viral review of Peter Luger! The UA Eats Peter Luger video featured me, as always, providing an honest review of the restaurant. I liked the burger then, but I found the steak lacking and many people agreed with me in the comments.
Still, I have always been itching to try Peter Luger again. I felt bad leaving the review the way it was. Restaurants after all are not static organizations, and they can change after all. I may have had a mediocre experience, but I am always willing to give places second chances. Recently, reviews of Peter Luger have again been very positive. Most people have been leaving 4-5 stars on Google reviews, so I decided to head down to Brooklyn and try Peter Luger again. Perhaps they have righted the ship and are again one of the best steaks in New York City again!
I hope you enjoy the vid and as always, like and subscribe if you like my vids!

Let me know what you think of these re-reviews and if I should do them every now and then. I'm all for second chances as restaurants aren't static and can improve (or decline). I'd hate for people to think a place is forever unworthy of patronage just because I once gave it a negative review!
For sure!
😂 this guy thinks he’s Keith Lee or something.
@uaeats I enjoy them. You always give honest opinion and are not afraid to say whether the restaurant has gotten better or worse. Keep up the excellent work, UA
I think they are fine! Sometimes you need to go back.
Last time I was there was probably 1979 ish. It was incredible A - Z
The audacity to slap down two tomatoes and a onion on a plate for $11... That's NYC
@@noneya246 Amen.
That was Not two tomatos and 1 onion. That was just Two slices off of a whole tomato and just one slice off of a whole onion... Hahahahahahahaha 😂!!!
Ok so it’s $8 usd if it were sold at outback or any restaurant across America. Does that make it any better for you. The price is the price. Too much. Don’t buy. Not just nyc
@@masonjones3780it's definitely NYC hahaha. They think they can slap some sliced veggies down and charge you $11 plus 25% tip. Absolutely nuts. No other place does that kinda shit. What a dump.
At the Las Vegas location, the tomatos and onions are $18
$11 for two slices of tomato and a slice of onion??? Nahhh son, that’s highway robbery
Cost of living is high in NY and food even pizza can be expensive which is why it's sold by the slice.
that is like a novelty for the place. most don't get it for a reason, I agree
Dumb! New York sucks
rip off
@@Chap49 Don’t blame NY blame Lugers for ripping people off or blame them for ordering it. The waiter did try to warn him.
When the waiter is trying to keep you from making a mistake, let them.
More like: When the waiter is embarrassed to serve you what you ordered, get up and find a different restaurant.
@@SeraphimLeo What a dumb response.
@@NA-rp9kt You think it's acceptable for a restaurant that charges these kinds of prices to have stuff on the menu that is embarrassing to the wait staff and the guests? That makes you the dumb one.
@@SeraphimLeo You clearly are better off eating at McDonald's.
@@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ At least the waiters at McDonalds aren't embarrassed by the food they're serving. BTW those tomatoes and onions at McDonalds are exactly the same, at Luger's they just make insecure men like you pay 11 dollars so you can flex and feel better about yourself.
The waiter told the truth about the sliced tomatoes and you didn't listen. Thanks for taking one for the team!!! I'll be getting the Caesar salad.
Curiosity killed the cat...
I was just going to say that 😂
You're supposed to eat all 3 together
$11 for a 2 sliced tomatos and a chunk of raw onion 🤣🤣🤣
@@Harry_Dongwasn’t even two sliced tomatoes it was two slices of one tomato lol!
C'mon UA, you HAVE to have the onion, tomatoes and steak sauce TOGETHER bro!
And tomatoes need salt too
@@henryhill6637exactly
Gotta go back now!
He likes to “let’s taste the onion on its own. Let’s try the tomato on its own” like it’s gonna be some pure flavor he never had before
is it true that you have to know all the ins and outs of the ordering system? yeah kinda. UA still gives raw experiences so that's why i watch.
$10.95 for 2 slices of tomato and a slice of raw onion is criminal.
It is $18 at the Las Vegas location.
@@Tonymanero1960 I'm shocked that Vegas prices would be higher than NYC. The price is high, but they are also very high quality tomatoes.
is that Cugine in the back? 😆 3:28
Yes I think so! Wow I knew he looked familiar
First thing I noticed
lol I noticed him. Was this some kind of press day?
Was wondering if anyone else would mention it. I’m almost 100% sure it’s him lol
@@lovesgibson if it's not him, he definitely has a doppelganger haha
Yes, it is a tourist trap.
Im glad you enjoyed the filet, but at $149 when the rest of the steak was mediocre leaves a lot to be desired.
There booze at $25 a drink is absurd .they take you to cleaners on the side dishes. The potatoes you can get in any dinner it usually comes with your eggs.
I wish I could open up food Stand and sell those two tomatoes for 11 bucks .ill even throw in the sauce for free!
$11 for two tomatoes and an onion? $18 for a pig plate of hash browns! You need to have your head examined to pay these type of prices.
The cooks are very expensive and the waiters want a very big tip.
you are a sucker for paying for that mediocre, bossy service and those cuts of beef that are seared and raw in the middle. also raw onions and tomatoes for $11. ouch
@@jayx9914 That was a pretty perfect mid rare bro. Dunno what you're talking about
@@Boddaaahit was spot on..
@@jayx9914brother don’t worry able it you can stick to Applebees
The waiter specifically tried to talk you out of tomato and onion 😅
Yeah they’re wrong for even keeping that on the menu. It’s slices of raw tomatoes and onion. Should just be complimentary.
@@benjisdad16 That's exactly what I was thinking like a complimentary appetizer. No way I would pay that!
@@benjisdad16 Right? It should be served with the steak, if thats what theyre known for make sure everyone tries it when theyre there. 30 cents worth of vegetables for 11$.
I wonder if the waiter resisted the temptation to do an eye roll.
@@benjisdad16it’s been on the menu forever.. supposed to order them for the table with the slab of bacon and eat together.. why would it be free? You know how much it costs just for rent in general..
$11 for some raw onions and tomatoes, what in the actual fuck. How are they even famous for that shit?!
I am sorry, but $11 for two slices of tomato and 1 slice of onion is straight up ridiculous.
1876 tomato been runin it
The waiter tried to warn him…
I can’t help but think those potatoes must’ve been ice cold by the time you got to them
11 dollars for two slices of tomato and a slice of onion is straight up robbery.
$18 dollars for that at the Las Vegas location.
6:38 -- $11 for this? This is a blatant scam.
At 14:15 into the video you can see another guy who makes TH-cam video's. His are more obscene but eagle eyed viewers will spot him. Long hair, glasses, gigantic nose. If I have watched more than one or two of his videos I'd drop a name but someone who reads this will know his name. Maybe you UA? I can't see paying that much for a couple slices of tomato and a raw onion. That's a stone cold racquet right there. Great video UA. I'll never make it to these places so I'm going there vicariously through you. 🔮
UA: Onions+Tomato+Sauce!
Waiter: You've got the sauce. If you've had tomatoes+onions before, then ours is no big deal; it's not a signature item. Save your money, Pal.
UA: I've been here once before.
Waiter: (Blinks repeatedly offscreen while thinking, "Then WTF are you asking about "the sauce" like it's different/special from what's already on the table? Why even mention that you're a veteran yet order basic raw, sliced veggies like a newb?"
UA: I wanna review it. It's probably just sliced tomatoes+onions. Basic. And too expensive.
Waiter: That's what I'm trying to... I'll get your potatoes, Sir.
(Later...)
UA: It's kind of disappointing...
😂
You are supposed to eat it all together also...
it is a signature item. "that is what we're really famous for" 6:14
They're known for this dish. The waiter even acknowledges that. I'm glad UA tried it because now I don't have to, as I know it's just not worth it. Please try to understand that UA is trying these dishes to give us an honest opinion. He isn't just looking for the most value-for-money dishes and eating that.
@@aznantboi That waiter says "isn't," but the caption says "is." The context of the conversation confirms the waiter said "isn't."
That said, it's on the menu, it's popular, and UA wanted to give a complete review for customers who consider the dish - so he ordered it anyway.
I just think UA adding "I've been here once before" is slightly odd, if not borderline rude, to a competent waiter who is offering guidance and steering you away from BS based on his experience.
You can just imagine the entire staff thinking ''Oh shit,...UA is in the house,...we can't screw this up a second time''.
He can barely walk the streets anymore. Everyone knows him
He's only got < 6000 subscribers and you make him sound like a rockstar. I don't think restaurants give a shit about this guy.
@@karlp8484 you meant 60,000.
@@karlp8484 60K - just FYI
this guy is not thay big lol
I get beef prices, but 11/12 bucks for two slices of tomato and a slice of onion blows my mind.
18 dollars at the Las Vegas location.
@@Tonymanero1960 Not that I needed another reason to not visit Las Vegas.
At a place like this for the price, nothing on the menu should be referred to as a "hit or miss"
The NY times also once gave them a very bad review, but that newspaper is way more overrated than the restaurant they were reviewing. I honestly think they just did it to get people talking since their credibility and readership is falling off of a cliff. Point is that everyone is biased, some more, some less - at the end of the day you gotta try things for yourself
I mean the tomato and onion should at least be double the portion, even for one person.
Been to Luger's years ago and was shocked by the tomato onion appetizer. It's an on going scam. Didn't care for the place then and this video is saving me a couple hundred for this has been place.
All cash business, wonder how much they're not reporting.
My thoughts exactly 😂
Smart business these days. Credit card fees being what they are… you also contend with stolen and fake cards in the restaurant business. Friend of mine just stopped taking them at his BBQ joint in Texas. Said he was losing $1,000 a week on scams.
@@ryangies4798 in my country Businesses MUST accept both Cash and Cards (Debit Cards) otherwise, they will face a penalty.
The tomato and onion situation has to be one of the biggest scams ever. Even if it was organic, amish, served with an elite olive oil, it would be overpriced.
It is $18 at the Las Vegas location.
I keep going back to Longhorn Steakhouse! It's perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, high quality steak. New York Strip, medium rare, is my favorite. Comes with 2 sides, I usually order a salad and a loaded baked potato. Under 30 bucks complete, and I prefer it to the overpriced steak houses.
Their Mac n cheese is absolutely incredible, and their Parmesan crusted chicken if you don’t want steak or want a cheaper option
Two slices of tomato, one slice of onion and a sauce in a sauce boat that someone couldn't be bothered to wipe. The problem with these steakhouses is that the quality increase never matches the price increase, but people still go. At least in fine dining you're paying the same prices but somebody's wiping the dishes.
That was bothering me as well the entire video lol
Try the côte de boeuf for two at Minetta Tavern! Best steak in the city!
Hey that’s me at 3:30
11$ for two tomate slices and an onion slice? That’s the biggest ripoff ever!
I hope there are at least organic
Not that it matters
UA dude paid
It is $18 at the Las Vegas location.
3:28 Is that Cuge? He's probably talking about someone's sister. 👧 👩 👧
YES 🤣
With New York raising tolls for congestion pricing,you just saved me $600. Thank you for your honesty!
Congestion Pricing was cancelled btw.
Thanks again. Your videos continue to amaze me. Obviously you really know your steaks and even your hash browns and can describe them very accurately. So many do not realize how much difference little subtleties in the food preparation and even how you, the diner, eat it make a big difference. I hope I have not offended you before with my condescending gripes, but I grew up in a totally different generation, and whereas you present your background as "everyman" I was brought up never attending a public school in my life. You obviously already know a lot, and you keep learning; so keep it up
Really starting to get into this Channel
Love it when he grimaces and shuts his eyes and scares the staff.. "you alright bro?"
I used to go there a lot. I loved the steak and bacon. But not worth the price. I stopped because of poor service and way over price. Wolfgang’s is much better with a nicer staff.
I like the re-review because you never know if a place stays the same, gets better or gets worse.
Safe Journey!
Have a GREAT DAY!!!
Whoever decided to charge that much money for two slices of tomato and 1 slice of onion should be in jail.
Or a CEO for getting away with that blatant robbery 😂
$11 for two slices of tomato.....must be nice to be rich 🤔
Interesting. Being cash only is not cool anymore: not sure what message they are trying to send by this.
A lot of businesses don't want to deal with credit card companies and the transaction fees. I also like to keep around currency that can't be digitally erased.
They want to hide their exact income from the IRS. That’s the message.
@@swahler34 Is cash really less expensive for businesses? They want to pay instead for an armored truck to carry cash, or risk it transporting cash on foot. Sure, they have a full right to do it. However, I still do not understand what message they are trying to send.
@@nsbioy there is no message. That's just how some people operate.
If you want the government to know what you eat,drink,if you smoke,what you wear,where you travel etc etc...keep using credit/debit cards...and continue to be a sheep..
Only cash for a high-end restaurant?
As someone who loves steak, you owe it to yourself to learn much more about the different beef cuts used for steak, because what you called sirloin is not --- it's a strip loin, also sometimes called a New York strip. The sirloin is from another part of the cow and is less tender than the strip loin and has less marbling. Both the Porterhouse and the T-bone include one each side of the bone a piece of tenderloin and piece of strip loin; the difference between those steaks is the relative size of the tenderloin is bigger on the Porterhouse. Suggest you visit a knowledgeable butcher so you can see the difference.
Individually cut steaks in N America you are correct but overseas and butchers consider it part of the sirloin primal. It is kind of confusing. I am not too sure where he is from but it could be why he calls it sirloin.
I was thinking the same thing and wonder why he kept referring to the NY Strip as a sirloin. My go to cut is a bone-in ribeye with NY Strip number 2 choice when I want something a little leaner. I'm not a big fan of filet. While it is very tender, I find it to be lacking it in flavor and overpriced. I don't think I've ever seen a sirloin on the menu at a top rated steakhouse and think of it as more of a supermarket cut or commodity steak that one can find at national steakhouse chains like Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn.
Yes! He needs to learn a lot more.
Best thing a Lugers is the cheesecake! Thank me later!
@@Lakeplanner p
No credit card? Money laundering ! Lol
Historically, Peter Luger always said their sauce was for the tomatoes and NOT for the steak.
Makes sense. The sauce is terrible on steak. Its just like brown cocktail sauce
We have a saying in the UK Its called a"Their taking the p**s. Two slices of tomato and one onion slice.. Wouldn't touch the place.
$11 for 2 slices of tomato and a slice of onion.. that's insane. I run a pizza business I should take a page outta their book
always remember hearing someone tell me that the dishes were like "destroyed toilet seats" because of the splatter . Still the steak looks so decadent yum 🍷
I wanted to go when I visited, was told to avoid it; fought against my inclinations and ultimately bailed, seeing whats on offer I am glad I took the advice.
Great review, UA. The face said it all when you ate the filet side. I have to say I laughed when he brought you a plate with 2 slices of tomato and 1 slice of onion. The potatoes remind me of something my Polish grandma would make on Sunday morning. However, hers weren't oily. Looking forward to your next video. Hope you and Tina have a great rest of your weekend
Went there two weeks ago and I can attest to UA’s review. The steak was kinda lackluster in terms of the dry age flavor compared to gallagher’s or club a’s, but the sides were absolutely amazing, the German potato and creamed spinach were hands down the best I’ve ever had
Ive never been to or eaten at Luger's, so I may be full of it, however I have cooked in restaurants for many years, and I just dont agree with the presentation of their steaks in those piping hot plates.
Number one, doing that to any meat is not allowing it to rest, which is CRUCIAL to keeping a steak juicy.
Number two, the steak is continuing to cook while being placed on them like that, which is why you see such an inconsistent cook on the meat. The outside is EXTREMELY well done, with just a lil square that isnt a smooth pink, its a lil blotch of blood. Thats why your last steak at Lugers was chewy, because a lot of the meat was overcooked.
Lastly, I dont like how they pre slice the steak before its served. I have suspicions its because they want to expedite the cooking process, and also limit mistakes in temp, dishes being brought back, and to also limit waste in steaks being thrown out and redoing them, like you sometimes have in restaurants.
Again, slicing it early lets juice escape, which is important, and ive always felt as a cook and a customer that THE CUSTOMER has the right to cut their own steak. ESPECIALLY at those prices.
Id never go there, and even if im wrong about everything ive said, I can guarantee you this. Theres steakhouses in every city that you can get that are just as good, if not better than Peter Luger's, for half the price.
Outback
@@Materva-hv6sz no.
I’m glad someone else has said this. I couldn’t agree more. We have similar here in the UK where steak is served on a cast iron skillet and as you say the steak is continuing to cook so goodbye med-rare delight. I’ll never order it. This is just a public fleecing because of the name. I’d be fuming if I got served that paying that much, such a gimmick
Agree 💯 with this. Sirloin always comes out rubbery and dries out within a few minutes. A filet can hold up to this cook type probably due to its tenderness and lack of fat.
Hey U. A. Eatery, the crew over here are all wondering WHEN you will be able to return to Atlantic City to review historic Chef Vola's near the boardwalk ?!? Hopefully SOON Homey !

It's really nice having you do your reviews by yourself again. I love your videos and reviews so much! Thank you!
I know that waiter feel guilty bringing that plate of two slices of tomato and a onion to the table 😂 I respect him for trying to talk you out of getting it
The waiter told him like 3 times how did he not understand
was at Lugers in the 80s, Armed security guards at the corners and across the street. Dark limos illegally parked all around, it was full to capacity and It was great; everyone was dressed in suit and tie, or cocktail dress. I was back with my wife in 2015 and we were both underwhelmed... a lot of money for a very mediocre meal... and there is no where to park, the whole thing needs a rescue.
Manager definitely had you on his subscription list and hopes this review is better. But dude, just get to the point and cut out half the jabber.
TH-cam has a slider to ffwd past whatever you didn't want to watch or listen to. Or you can make your own video. It's his channel, his format and production. Personally, I like how his format shows what it's like to have a meal at each restaurant and not rush through like we're at McDonald's.

Hi UA. Glad Lugers won ya back. I like it. Yes a little expensive. Eat there couple times a year. Yes still overhyped and touristy. Like the “O” face on the first bite of fillet. 😂 I dig the potatoes. Next time just stick a straw in the sauce dude. 😅 Thanks so much. Keep doin it brother. 👋🏽
I live in Brooklyn and still go to Lugers after a big deal closes. I never went for anything other than the porterhouse, so I never understood the hate.
Now I think I get it - I just got lucky and went for their signature from the get go, and never looked back. The filet mignon is *absolutely* that good.
@@cronoesify I’m from Bay Ridge
These are the prices you pay to eat in NYC. The best steak you can have is the one you make at home.
Bro, I would be mad if I paid $11 for 2 slices of tomato and a slice of an onion.
Lol the tomato and onion slices are such a scam, no one should pay those prices for that
I was there last year and I loved the food I was born and raised in williamsburg brooklyn and I went to peter luger for the first time
You paid 17.95 for 2 tomatoes and one onion slice?
No, he paid $10.95 according to the video.
We have a Greek restaurant here and i alway take the Athenian steak with Greek seasoned potatoes and ranch salad, they have a really good red wine sauce that fits with the whole meal and for 2 meals its 60 CAD with the tip can't go wrong with this Greek restaurant ! Its called Greco.
Did you know Michelin sells tyres? Well, now you do!
$ 11 for two slices of tomato and a slice of white onion?????
I can get 22 lbs of onions or 8 lbs of tomatoes in my country for that 11$.
Wycoff prime meats in northern nj sells aged porterhouse that will give Peter Lugers a run for their money. Of course you have to cook yourself and depending on type of grill you have will determine thickness of cut you buy. Have a char-broil infrared bbq with two burners does a fantastic job for 1.75 inch of porterhouse or shell x 4. Um ≈12 mins on max.
I imagine that as UA becomes more and more popular, the restaurants are going to start recognizing him and will bend over backwards to make his experience extraordinary. I hope this doesn't happen.
Same. I want him to be successful of course, but I love his reviews where it’s what I can expect if I go eat there.
Thanks for the review or I should say the warning 😮. Unfortunately, "There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase closely associated with P. T. Barnum and it looks like Peter Luger fits the bill!
He tried to tell him. Makes me think about unsubscribing.😂😂😂🤣
The waiter literally told you the sauce it comes with is the steak sauce and you nodded away with a blank look on your face.
If I want sliced meat, I order Stroganoff, or a stir fry. If I order a steak, bring me what I asked for.
Prices are crazy now...I lived in NYC from 1978-1998,i went to Peter Luger's once a month for 12 years straight,it was 4-6 of us back then,we never had to wait for a table,since we were regulars and got special treatment...always started off with a gin martini,they poured 4 ounces of gin to 1 ounce of dry vermouth...i think they were $7.00 each...Steak for 4 was $60.00 or less,was a long time ago..The sides were $3.95,always got the cream spinach and home fries...Wine prices were not too bad,i think was a 300% mark up..but they did let us bring in a bottle and we always bought 2 or three bottles depend on if we were 4 or 6 people.A doctor and his wife bought over the place from the original owners back in the late 80's..Wife worked at a famous research University at the time...I have not been there since i left NYC..and still consider it the best steaks i have ever had...
That salad looked pretty good to me. And if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. I’d order it.
Cause your an idiot, but keep living !
I can hear Peter Luger laughing from his grave at the suckers paying $11-18 for tomatoes and onion. Should be on the friggin house for what they’re charging. Can’t believe a food reviewer (on a follow up visit no less) would order such a thing especially after a glaring warning from the waiter 😂
The tomato and onion speaks to the larger problem about Luger’s. Unlike Delmonico’s and Keen’s, Peter Luger’s hasn’t evolved their menu beyond their steak offerings. Tradition is one thing but placing that joke of an appetizer on the menu at those prices is a spit in the face to customers.
The bread doesn’t look like it comes from a fancy bakery… plenty of $30 entree restaurants bake their own breads, why not Luger’s? Oh yeah, tradition! That sauce served in those giant gravy boats is disgusting. Just wide open for bacteria to form and surely goes from one table to the next (as UA dunks his bread into it 😅).
The steak presentation is all theatre. I found the steak to be underwhelming and under seasoned. You mentioned a lack of dry age flavor… the reason is that dry age can be easily faked.
You’ll never get a true dry age on a steak of that size as the entire process entails removing water and condensing the flavors thru controlled decomposition. Luger’s ain’t doing that! 😂
The waiter literally told you that the sauce that came with the Tomato and Onion was the exact same sauce as the steak sauce. Why would you think it could somehow be different?! He told you it was the same!!
Re-reviews are fine, but perhaps there should be some rationale for them. Like if the restaurant opened a new outlet, changed management, refreshed their menu, to try a different section of their menu, or something that warrants a second look. That's at least how I see it. Otherwise, it's hard to see the point of re-reviewing, is it to see if they've gotten better, maintaining standards, or something else. But even so, it's a bit odd unless a really long time has passed.
Respect to UA for being honest and legit!
You can do simple tomatoes without much, but if you do they need to be transcendent tomatoes. In almost 50 years I've only once had transcendent tomatoes, and it was at a fine dining restaurant in Bergamo Italy. I don't know if it was the soil or what, but when I took my last bite, it was the only time in my life that I nearly weeped that the experience had come to an end. If a restaurant ain't those guys, they probably shouldn't be serving a plate of raw tomatoes with just a bit of sauce on the side to jazz it up.
*wept
Whatever way you dress it I cannot justify that price for 2 slices of tomato and an onion slice unless Peter Luger copyrighted a new hybrid!
That’s definitely Cuge in the back at the halfway mark 😂 5:30
Totally him, he even looks up at the camera
At the end also hahahaah came here for this

I think you meant 3:30 but yes it's definitely him! I thought he looked familiar. Small world!
Funny; I literally started watching the video a few min back and saw Cuge and looked at the comments to see if anyone caught him
90's: Food critics were anonymous
2020's: UA with a camera ("staff - bring your A+ game!")
I like the Re-review format UA. Will definitely be getting the Porterhouse just to try that filet mignon. I much prefer the filet mignon on the bone anyway. And thanks for warning us about the tomato and onion lol. Great review as always my guy
Same experience I’ve always had with both lugers and wolfgangs. The filet was absolutely magnificent, while the sirloin wasn’t bad initially, but as the steak cooled rapidly it became very tough to eat. This was over two nights at each restaurant, which I attribute to the way they cook the steak and cut it while it’s still hot and the juices leak out impacting the sirloin particularly.
On the tomato and onion, it’s just clever restauranteuring. If your rest. sells burgers, you lose nothing by putting on “onions and tomato” on the top of your appetizer menu and have everything to gain, in spite of not actually having a dedicated “onion and tomato” dish.
That tomato and onion dish was a freakin joke. Absolute nonsense
Perhaps the best burger I’ve ever had was at Peter Luger!
Only $50!!!!
Glad you're better ! Please more more restaurant reviews. Second time or new. Always nice to watch. ❤🎉
No one seems to be commenting on how much you paid for a steak. It costs nowhere near that here in Australia. Maybe I am not eating in a high-end restaurant, but come on now.
They’re high but not outrageously so. The porterhouse is pretty large, and that ribeye price seems to be in the range of what you’d see at other high end restaurants. Also, it is - or at least should be - prime and dry-aged, both of which are going to add some significant $$$ to your bill.
I enjoyed the re-review. The food looked great. I'm more of a meat and potatoes kind of person with a vegi on the side. I hate sauces and I cant eat dairy. Okay I can but Ill be up all night questioning my life choices. I eat at my favorite steak house tonight. A local place owned by one person who really knows his clientele. It was great he offered a 9 inch prawn with the 5 ounce filet as a special and I had it so did my wife. You get a salad and a potato choice as part of the dinner. The value at this place is so amazing 52 dollars. I eat out a lot maybe not as much as you but I know value. I take everyone there and they all go back. I think it just takes someone that really cares to make a persons experience great and give them a value and great food and service they cant have at one of these high end places. If your Wisconsin let me know. Ill take you there. I wont name it but if you message me Ill let you know.
Bro paid $11 for 2 slices of tomatoes and a slice of onion tho 💀
So I'm confused.. how can a steakhouse that old not know that on a porter house, one side is the filet and the other is a NY Strip.. not a sirloin..
I order the tomato and onion only because I get the bacon. The 3 combined with the sauce is delicious.
The challenge with Filet or Tenderloin is that it lacks the flavor that the other cuts have. A Strip Steak, Porterhouse or Ribeye will ALL have more flavor than Filet or Tenderloin.
Those potatoes look like trash that I'd refuse at a diner. The tomato/onion slice at that price point is a joke. Thanks for saving me a visit to this tired old relic.
Was at the Great Neck location 2 weeks ago, delicious as always
Glass of bourbon at the bar, ordered another when we sat
As the waiter put the bread and luger's sauce on the table, we ordered bacon for everyone 2 shrimp cocktails and tomato/onion
Steak for 5 (we were 6 people), creamed spinach and potatoes
Holy Cow sundae, apple strudel and key lime for dessert
My man went straight Ice Cube when the filet hit his mouth lol
Solid honest review, much appreciated.
