"When it opened at Caesars Palace in late 2023, Peter Luger brought a Brooklyn institution’s feel to Vegas with hardwood floors, high vaulted ceilings, brick archways, and bronze chandeliers; the menu stays true to the original, they age on‑site with the same beef (and even the same bacteria and mold) as the Brooklyn meatbox, and they continue to use beef tallow in their fryers." - David Farley
"Century-old, family-run, iconic Brooklyn steakhouse in the heart of South Williamsburg. Peter Luger was founded in 1887, in a pre-hipster, pre-bouge, pre-Williamsburg Bridge era of the neighborhood and has reigned supreme ever since. Truly a classic and a landmark not to miss." - Franklyn
"Steak icon where old-school waiters serve aged beef in a German beer hall setting." - Swords-Smith
"At Williamsburg’s Peter Luger, your meal adheres to an unbreakable formula: first, free bread and steak sauce that tastes almost like ketchup. Next, a wedge salad, and the tomatoes and onions, which everybody orders and nobody eats. Finally, creamed spinach, german fried potatoes, and the porterhouse. Your server might not chat much, but they'll deliver that still-sizzling steak with the speed of someone whose life depends on it. Every single time." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"The iconic Williamsburg red meat specialists also do bread. It’s a basket, but prioritize the rolls, which are stuffed with tiny bits of onion and poppy seeds. Some people dip it in the big gravy boat of Luger sauce, which is essentially just doctored-up cocktail sauce. We prefer butter." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman
