Peter Lugar’s Is A Steak House At It’s Best

Saturday January 9th, 9:04 pm by Serafina.

All of you steak lovers have been to Peter Lugar’s at least once, and if you haven’t, make your reservations now (718-387-7400). Since 1887, Peter Lugar’s has been an all time favorite for those of us who crave an amazing steak once in a while, and based on that fact, the place fills up fast. Make your reservations a few weeks in advance because you won’t be able to get a table on just a moments notice. Not even that, but once you make your reservations and you get there, you might have to wait a little bit to get your table.

All of this waiting is worth it because each steak here is specially selected and goes through an aging process. Go with a group of your friends and family, then order for the table. The steak menu is very simple and goes as follows, “Steak for two,” “Steak for three,” and “Steak for four.”  Everyone shares and  also get a couple of sides, which complement your steak. I recommend the creamed spinach as it’s so smooth, rich and not too creamy. Once you get your steak, each piece is soft and buttery, the first bite is the best. You’ll wonder why you haven’t been coming here for years. Try dipping your steak into Peter Lugar’s special steak sauce, they pride themselves on it and it’s better than the traditional sauce you’d imagine. The bread at Peter Lugar’s is even amazing. They’ll give you a bowl for the table with a variety, each type fresh and soft on the inside. The place is no frills and is upfront about what they stand for, the best steak you’ll ever have. Located right by the Williamsburg Bridge, you won’t miss it.
