"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
"The burger at Peter Luger is simple, only available for a few hours, and nearly $30 after adding fries. In other words, it has all the makings of a cult favorite for the New York dining scene. Peter Luger in Vegas also has the burger, served only Wednesday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. The patty is made with a blend of chuck with scraps of the precious dry-aged short loin, cooked medium-rare. Sandwiched on a bun with just a touch of sauce and raw onion, the quality and flavor of the patty really shine. But for a $10 upcharge, you can add American cheese and thick slabs of Luger’s bacon. Know before you go: Unlike the New York locations, Vegas’s Peter Luger accepts credit card payments" - Janna Karel
