    Ate here twice and the steak was definitely great but I guess it was just as good as any other steak from a nice NYC steakhouse, didn't blow my socks off. However, the thick cut bacon appetizer, the wedge salad, and the chocolate sundae dessert were outrageously delicious, and most definitely did blow my socks off lol. The overall atmosphere and the service are fantastic as well. It's a pleasure to dine at Luger's.

    I occasionally am able to purchase a decent prime cut at Costco, but there are grades of prime that only the high end steak houses get. Cooking a steak ain't hard. getting top prime is next to impossible. met a server from one of Chicago's top steakhouses and the guy tells me all his restaurant's meat comes from a farm in Minnesota who sells exclusively to his restaurant. Plan B - knock over a meat truck

      Yeah, they get first choice. If you pay for it there's plenty of places that sell prime and aging it yourself is fairly easy. At least here in NY there are. You can also buy high grade meats online from reputable sellers. Even higher grades than usda prime. Costco sells decent cuts though. I've gotten plenty of great NY Strip steaks from there. Nice and marbled.

      Notice how quickly this theory goes belly up when you replace it with other food. Why not have only pasta without the sauce? Or how about pizza sauce without the dough? Why not just bacon instead of adding the rest of the BLT? Food pairings are great because the sum is bigger than its parts when done right, and the only argument against it is puritanism.

      Personally, I enjoy a steak for two reasons, first, if I want to have a steak I'll have it with no sauce. If I want to enjoy accompanying flavors that go well with the beef, especially beef such as USDA prime, sauce is always good.
      I find it rather frustrating when I admit I'll take a cut of Spanish, Argentinian or Canadian grass fed beef over wagyu style, or highly marbled corn fed. I enjoy the beefy flavor. One of my favorite ways to enjoy a steak is with a cream black pepper sauce. The Argentinians know what's up with their variations of sauces and methods of cooking beef.

    I went to peter luger's in NY recently and it was among the best steaks I've ever had!!!! One little trick they do is they repour the fat that came off of the steak from the plate back onto the steak before they serve you. Another underrated business practice they do is they only accept cash/debit not credit and thus don't get charged credit transaction fees. More restaurants should do this.

      It ranges from 0 to 4 stars:
      0 stars is "poor, fair or satisfactory" (0 stars out of 4 can be 'satisfactory' lol).
      1 star out of 4 is "good" (lol)
      2 stars out of 4 is "very good".
      3 stars out of 4 is "excellent"
      4 out of 4 "is outstanding.

    One of the smartest things any restaurant can do is keep their menu very small. It helps prevent people from sitting for an hour just staring at every item on the menu trying to decide on what to eat. But it also helps maintain a fresher menu, as the restaurant doesn't have to stock as much food/items, meaning the food they do stock will be more prevalent and less likely to be frozen. It ALSO means the cook's/chef are more prepared as they master each dish, they're well aware of every item on the menu since they aren't burdened with hundreds of recipes. Fresh food, and small seasonal menu's are far too uncommon in this industry. I won't even eat a restaurant if the menu is 200 items, because to me that means poor management and incompetent people running the kitchen.
    This restaurant is magnificent, and likely one of the best in NYC for the simple reason of keeping the menu small and mastering those dishes.

    a good steak does not need a sauce on the side . oh and blood does not mean juicy it means undercooked.

      @@stevemarch1512 Dear Steve thank you for the scientific explanation (no sarcasm here). Myoglobin or not they do it to everything related to beef meat.
      Would you happen to know why they do the same in burgers please ? I love beef steaks when i make them they re well done still juicy and soft but no red.
      For example in my country sometimes we like eating lamb and goat meat . Would you eat these kinds of meat cooked like that (rare to medium rare) ?
      Thank you

    Luger's is awesome. Was there 2013 and we'd a great German-American waiter.

    Sorry not my style of cooking steak. Steak looks gray. My opinion prime steak should be coal charred on the outside and medium to medium rare on the inside. Steak looks like it was cooked on a grille pan. (. George Foreman type )
