OK, so the waiters are old and cranky, there aren't many choices on the menu, and your credit cards are as worthless as sawdust here (unless, of course, you qualify to carry the special Peter Luger card). But carnivores worth their salt absolutely cannot pass up a chance to eat at Peter Luger, often considered, along with its other location in Brooklyn, to be the best steak house in the metropolitan area. Of course, be prepared to come face-to-face with Luger attitude: Order an iced tea instead of a "real" drink and the waiter may roll his eyes; ask for a menu and your server will look at you as if you were nuts. That's because everyone who's anyone knows that porterhouse is the only type of meat Luger's deems worthy of serving. Just order steak for any number of people, with the standard accompaniments of creamed spinach and potatoes, and you'll be set. You can get chicken and salmon as well, but why bother? You know why you're there. -- J. Gidman Zumpano

Peter Luger
Suprshunk2 - 06/16/2008
This is by far the BEST Steak I have ever had. The meat is so tender it melts min your mouth. I used to go often to the Brooklyn location but since I moved to L.I. I love Great neck . The group in my office try to go every friday we can.
T he steak is the same as Brooklyn but the bartender is super friendly and the waiters are anything but gruff. The service is always fast and pleasantAdd Comment- Blossombe209 - 06/11/2008

darkhawkco - 06/11/2008Very good
ALMashie - 06/11/2008I have only been there a couple of times, but I had a great meal both times. If you want your steak done more than medium go somewhere else. Like many good chefs they don't like to cook food in a way that they don't think it should be served. Why cook a perfectly aged porterhouse to well done? If you like your steak done that way go "Stop and Shop" and grill your own. A good steak goes to waste when that well done. My favorite has to be the bacon appeizer. Fun time and worth the heafty bill.

Peejayen - 06/11/2008i have had steak and all the side orders.....have eaten at all of the aforementioned...not even close.....peter lugers is by far the very best....no contest...
what's all the hype about???
SteaknWine - 06/06/2008ok, so here's the deal...the steak is good, NOT great, the wine list is HORRIBLE, can't compare with B&C, Rothmann's or Mac's...the waitstaff are all nasty old crotchety men who abuse their customers...if you like that when you're paying those prices then PL is your place...when they were the only kid on the block it was great...now, there's too many alternatives where hospitality is party of what you're paying for...never again for this steak lover
Grumpy Waiters WHERE!?
xxqueenyxx - 11/17/2007My meal was cooked to perfection my friends agreed theirs was just fine as well. Our waiter Ciro was excellent. As far as them being grumps perhaps you should consider whom they are serving as to how they respond. Ours laughed with us and joked right back with us till an uptight 4some sat next to us and kept glaring. Maybe people are should get the sticks out of their bums sit back and stop acting as if they are better then the person serving them. Cause I tell ya what if you add up his tips at the end of the night I can bet he makes a very good living. Unless the snots next to us are just as cheap as they are crusty.
WHO GOT PAID?
enforcer13li - 06/28/2007REALLY.......WHO GOT PAID OFF TO KEEP THIS PLACE IN THE # 1 SPOT? IS IT CASH OR JUST FREE MEALS?
OVERPRICED JUST OK FOOD. HIT ANY OF THE JRs STEAK HOUSES IN SUFFOLK. 1/3 THE PRICE FOR 10X THE FOOD. WHAT A JOKE LUGERS IS...SAD REALLY......Past Its Prime!
sskaufman - 06/28/2007Highly overrated place. Porterhouse is very average. There are other places that are better & less expensive like Majors Steak House on L.I. The only thing I recommend at Lugers is their dessert (the sundae with schlagg).
