"A Peter Luger porterhouse arrives at the table already sliced, in a pool of sizzling-hot natural juice. The waiter puts a couple of pieces of meat on your plate, then it's up to you to help yourself to the rest."
Michael Stern
"Your waiter will place two slices of steak on each diner's plate, along with a spoonful of spinach if you ordered that. He then offers a spoonful of "juice." Accept the offer. After that you're on your own."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The bacon for this bacon cheeseburger is so hefty it comes on the plate as it would otherwise overwhelm the burger."
Bill Homan
"The superb breads in the basket are not just for show. They are worth eating! Yes, even with a huge steak to follow."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"September, 2001: the tomatoes are delicious!"
Michael Stern
"An amazing cheeseburger."
Bill Homan
"At lunch, the fantastic hash browns are not available; but these French fries are a fine alternative."
Michael Stern
"German coffee contains a good hit of Aspach, which is a German brandy. And, of course, that great schlag tops it all off."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"Unless you normally use things like A1 on your steak, you'll probably enjoy Luger's sauce more as a dressing for the onions and tomatoes."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"The warm pecan pie topped with crisp, toasty nuts is extraordinary paired with Luger's ultra-rich whipped cream."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"A hot fudge sundae seems impossible after a meal like this. And maybe it is: the person who ordered this one met us for dessert! It's really a perfect hot fudge sundae."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"After the meal, customers are given chocolate in the form of gold-wrapped doubloons. This may be the management's gentle reminder that unless you have a house charge account, cash is the only acceptable form of payment."
Michael Stern
"Cooked to a perfect, juicy medium."
Bill Homan
"The bacon appetizer is sold by the slice. It is extra-thick cut and meaty, and a happy Luger tradition."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"We don't know how they do it, but Luger's whipped cream, served in great billowing bowls, is the richest, thickest whipped cream ever. One of Peter Luger's signature items; don't miss it. "
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
"Flaky and not too sweet, this is a decadent end to a great meal."
Bill Homan
"A New York institution since 1887."
