Peter Luger Steak House has been serving the finest USDA Prime steaks since 1887. The selection process is crucial and therefore is done only by members of the family who visit the wholesale markets on a daily basis. It begins with fresh sides of beef that usually come from the Midwest.
Even if the Williamsburg Bridge falls down, beefeaters say it would be worth swimming to Brooklyn for Luger’s orgasmic porterhouse, trimmings and desserts.
Many insist that Peter Luger Steak House is the city’s most venerable steakhouse. Timeless wood furnishings fill out the natural ambience and charm of Peter Luger Steak House. The restaurant features a fully stocked bar. Don’t expect any micro brews or trendy drinks. This is a true classical gentleman’s bar.
There is no menu, so don’t ask for one. The waiter will recite the day’s offerings. Most people order steaks or chops with perhaps a tomato and onion salad to start.
Peter Luger Steak House also offers their steaks and chops for delivery. You can go to www.peterluger.com for more information.
