Peter Luger’s steak house has been around for a very long time. At one point, it even had a Michelin Star. Many tourists always recommend eating here and rave about it. The locals though on the other hand are rather indifferent. People have told me that their steaks suck and that their best dishes are their appetizers. Others have told me it’s the best steak they ever had. Does it really live up to the hype?

For the first visit and not pictured, we got the aged rib eye for 2. It was surprisingly good and flavorful. The applewood smoked slab of bacon was thick and tasty. For 2 people, it’s enough to just get 1. The prime rib on the bone was super thick and good. Like Keen’s, this is a monster and can probably be shared by 2 people. I would say the thickness of this was probably close to 1.

Steak was just OK. Service was slow as hell. Truffle cream of spinach was good.

Decent for the price. This is Marc Forgione’s steak house.

Ok, this place is the only legit place in NYC that has real kobe certified beef from Japan. It was delicious and cheap… with the groupon.
