Overview
More an institution than a steakhouse. Peter Luger's has been delivering their own unique brand of dry aged prime USDA prime since 1887 and has been rated #1 steakhouse in New York by Zagat's readers for 20 years. With that kind of clout Luger's can afford to do things their own way. Expect service which is efficient but crochety, sturdy but bare wood tables, and steaks the Luger way - selected for their rich marbling, dry aged, and then cooked fast and hot.
