Be going there for at least 30 some odd years.The steaks don't taste the same and they seem to push you out . Feels as if we where treated as cattle. Party of 9 sat by 3 pm and was done at 4 20 pm. Mine you we didn't have coffee and dessert. No problem with the wait staff . One steak came rare when ordered well ??? WTF. He took part of the steak back cooked it .??? I think the steak houses in NYC are far superior now .

Nothing they can't fix, if they start paying attention to fans who are starting to bring it up. Tue Apr 28 15:24:12 -0700 2009 4637006 80872 addictedtolunch 1 4637524 i still think, ceasar, bacon, beef, sides, schlag, attitude, and atmosphere, there is no place better to enjoy the classic new york steak dinner bar none anywhere!!! Tue Apr 28 18:32:41 -0700 2009 4637006 69187 biga290 1 4641769 I feel like an hour and twenty minutes without coffee or dessert is a pretty long meal. is that rushed for you? Thu Apr 30 07:01:39 -0700 2009 4637006 130115 demigodh 2 4654662 Absolutely. Luger is not a very long meal in the first place and no dessert, what do you expect to sit and linger for 2 hours? It has become inconsistent, lately, at the very least, sadly. Mon May 04 20:32:36 -0700 2009 4641769 239561 dietndesire 1 4641836 Went there Sunday for birthday dinner. Home run out of the park. Possibly the best I've had in my few dozen visits over the past 20 years. Onion and tomato salad. Porterhouse in servings for 2's. Skipped the bacon this time. No longer get spinach or potatoes. Brooklyn lager. Strudel and schlag. Chomped on bone for breakfast Monday. Perfect cholesterol romp. Had blood work drawn on Monday, waiting for results. Thu Apr 30 07:21:13 -0700 2009 4637006 28638 phantomdoc 1 4642354 I, too, was rushed out when I was there. Not only was I not impressed by the food (I did like the big cocktails), but they seem to have a "burn 'em and turn 'em" attitude with their guests.

It has become a turn them out place. When the the old man Foreman was alive he didn't change a thing. new blood is there . that why so many went to open other steak houses. When i was young the whole wait staff was german. Sat May 02 05:38:31 -0700 2009 4642354 11512 FAL 3 4651741 In my training I learned that most of your cholesterol is manufactured by your liver and not from your diet. I will get the results and see if there is a spike. I do admit that when I was a vegan marathon runner I set a low cholesterol record in my doctors office. Peter Luger is not the kind of place you go to as the evenings entertainment. Not cozy, inviting or romantic. You go there for great chow. Seems to be the definition of the chowhound experience. Family owned, personal pride in providing the finest of the breed. I did not feel rushed there ever, but it is a place I do not wish to linger over multiple cups of coffee or after dinner drinks. It is just to noisy for that. I don't go often but it has always been memorable. Mon May 04 01:47:40 -0700 2009 4647726 28638 phantomdoc
