Steakhouse

Peter Luger Steak House

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

A no-frills institution that has been serving its legendary dry-aged beef since 1887. The dining rooms, with their exposed wooden beams and weathered beer-hall tables, exude a Teutonic charm, a nod to the neighborhood's German heritage. It's a place where the focus is squarely on the meat, and the experience is as much about the enduring tradition as it is about the meal itself.

★ The Legend
Steak for Two (Porterhouse)
This is the dish Peter Luger is most famous for, a USDA Prime porterhouse hand-selected and dry-aged on-site, then broiled at extreme heat and served sizzling. It's designed to offer both the tender filet and the flavorful strip, a combination that Peter Luger helped popularize in America.
◆ Fan Favorite
Luger's Sizzling Bacon, Extra Thick, By the Slice
This isn't just any bacon; it's an extra-thick cut, often described as having a perfect balance of crispiness and tender, rendered fat. Many regulars consider it a mandatory starter, often noting its unique smoky and slightly sweet flavor.
◇ Hidden Gem
Creamed Spinach
While the steak is the star, regulars know not to skip this side. It's a rich, flavorful creamed spinach with a perfect ratio of cream to greens, often cited as a benchmark for steakhouse creamed spinach.
Insider Tip

First-timers often get caught off guard by the payment methods. Peter Luger does not accept credit cards at its Brooklyn or Great Neck locations. Instead, bring cash, a US debit card, or a US check with valid ID, or apply for a Peter Luger house account to avoid any last-minute surprises.
