Peter Luger Steak House is a steakhouse located in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York City, with a second location in Great Neck, New York, in the western part of Long Island. It was named to the James Beard Foundation's list of "America's Classics" in 2002[1] and is the third oldest operating steakhouse in New York City, after Keens and Old Homestead Steakhouse.[2]

On January 10, 2022, Peter Luger's and Caesars Palace announced the opening of a third location in Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Nevada in the location formerly occupied by Rao's.

The Brooklyn location is known for its long wooden bar, and the "dining rooms have a Teutonic air, with exposed wooden beams, burnished oak wainscoting, brass chandeliers and weathered beer-hall tables".[3][4]

In 2019, New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells gave the restaurant a scathing, zero-star review,[5] a decline from Frank Bruni's 2007 two-star review,[6] a three-star review in 1995 by Ruth Reichl,[7] and a four-star review in 1968 by Craig Claiborne.[8]
