The steak at Peter Luger's steakhouse is the best in the world. The rest of the meal could be improved. The tomatoes and onions could have had riper tomatoes for the price. The crabmeat cocktail made my wife sick the next day. The oversized martini was the smallest I've had in years. Their bacon appetizer was tough (Keen's in NYC... More

VISITED PETER LUGER GREATNECK. Poor Mait're D' not customer oriented. The waiter brought food out and served one of us. He came back five minutes later to retrieve it and claimed it belonged to another table and would bring food out shortly. The manager when apprised of this disappeared into the kitchen claiming to investigate. The steak ordered by another... More

My Husband wanted to go here for his Birthday dinner as he goes to the one in Brooklyn a couple of times a year. My first 'red flag' was when I called to make the reservation and a really curt and abrupt lady took the phone reservation. I had hoped when we arrived that it would be better. Well -... More

Lot's of money for good, not great, steaks. The sides were okay as was dessert. The only real highlight was the service. We had a wonderful waiter who attended to all our requests. Otherwise this was a mediocre meal at best for an exorbitant price. Over $550 for 6 people. I've definitely had better for a lot less. Let the... More

Stopped by Peter Luger's for the steak as my husband loves a good steak and we were on Long Island (we live outside of Philly). Wasn't sure what to expect and if the place was simply riding on an older reputation. Let me say, the steak was the best ever. Flavorful, tender. The wait staff were friendly and the whole... More

Favorite steak house option (and there are a lot in great neck). They don't give you a huge, fat block of meat. Instead the slice it into convenient strips. And the steaks are very tasty, much more so than the other popular steak houses (not that they are bad). Choices are very limited, decor is minimal, and service is nice... More

Our son took us here to celebrate our anniversary, and we were very impressed. The restaurant was clean, and the service was very good. My daughter & I shared the meal for two since we like our steak well done, and it was excellent! It was well cooked, nice and tender, and the sides were delicious! We would definitely eat... More

We had not been to Peter Lugers in quite awhile but went there recently and enjoyed fabulous meal. While you may need a 2nd mortgage to pay for the meal, and make sure you bring cash unless you have a house account, the steaks were fabulous as were the shrimp cocktails and salads. The house red wine was also excellent.... More

Best steak around long island. The service was great and the atmosphere is old NY. We got treated like kings.
