Peter Luger Steak House may be one of Brooklyn’s most revered restaurants, but it has wasted no time in making its Vegas outpost one of the most popular stops on the Strip. The philosophy here is simple: Keep thing simple. If you like your meals no-nonsense and straight to the point, this might become your new favorite place.
The German beer hall feel is alive and well at this location, complete with servers who are ready to make you feel right at home with old-world attitude. As you enjoy a classic cocktail—Manhattans, Old-Fashioneds, martinis, you name it, they’ll make it—you’ll want to order one of the franchise’s most famous creations—sliced tomatoes. Yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like. Or you can order it with accompaniments like onions, jumbo shrimp and chopped bacon. Whatever you order, smother it with that Luger’s Own Sauce and you will be in heaven. It’s hard to put into words how something so simple can be so delicious—so I’m not going to try. Just order it!
The simplicity doesn’t get much better than the red meat portion of the menu. From the steak section, your choices are a cut of USDA Prime beef in serving sizes ranging from a single person to four people (there’s also a rib steak for two). And lest you’re wondering, they’re all served medium rare. We wouldn’t suggest ordering a steak well-done here, as you might get a bit of side-eye. Peter Luger also excels at seafood, so strongly consider the grilled Atlantic salmon, Dover sole and Maine lobster, and whatever you do choose, you can’t go wrong with sides, ranging from broiled asparagus and creamed spinach to sautéed cremini mushrooms and broccoli.
For one of the best deals on the entire Strip, opt for the Power Lunch Menu, where, for only $49.95, you get your choice of appetizer, main course, side and dessert. Start with either sliced tomatoes and onions for one, Luger’s sizzling bacon or a Caesar salad; then it’s onto the main course, your choice of grilled Atlantic salmon, broiled chicken airline breast, homemade bratwurst or the classic Luger burger, so simple yet so delicious; sides include creamed spinach, Luger’s German fried potatoes or French fried potatoes; and dessert is the “Holy Cow” hot fudge sundae.
