Eugene SongJune 18, 2013Grab a martini while you wait. Get the bacon to start (1pp). Then nothing more cooked than medium rare for the rest of the evening!
Francis TanSeptember 27, 2014if you're visiting and need to ge in..shake the hand of the fine gentleman in the reception desk...dont forget to slip in a 20 though :)
Jessica M.January 7, 2018$$$ but worth every penny. Tomato and onion salad, creamy spinach, and steak (lots of it).
Michael G.August 13, 2023Lives up to the hype. Everything we ordered was delicious. The bacon is a must
J CrowleyMarch 7, 2013Yeah yeah... Everyone talks about the steak. But what about the cheesecake? Sweet lord, that's worth living for.
Rich GallagherJuly 12, 2011When you order your steak for ____, pretend you have an imaginary friend at the table, so everybody gets a little extra. The bacon starter is one of the best things I have ever tasted.
Patrick O'ReillyNovember 26, 2010The best rib eye in the world, try the shrimp & onion and tomato app, German potatoes and spinach too, they don't have becks dark anymore but the german dark beer in frosted mugs is just as good, $$ +

Sarah TierneyDecember 14, 2014Best steak I've ever had. Tomatoes and onions are awesome, as is the bacon. Creamed spinach is a must.
Alberto LausellJuly 29, 2012Great Steak! Exceptional service! A lot of food! No credit card accepted, cash or debit card only.
Dan PanJune 9, 2012I went with a frequent Luger diner. Apparently, they won't spit on your food if you don't ask for the menu - or so he says. This old school steakhouse served a beautiful piece of bacon. Worth a try.
Ricky SherrillOctober 23, 2015The definition of a Steakhouse & a must try for any steak lover when visiting NYC.
"holy shrine" "pilgrimage" "he-man portions" "worth swimming to Brooklyn" devout carnivores". Get the cheeseburger w/ monster slab of bacon bf 3PM for lunch, babe.
Sam McCrimsonMay 21, 2013This place is old school badass. No frills, just amazing steak. Medium cooked was more like medium rare. The flavours of the steak spoke for themselves. No spices or anything added and none needed.
Start with the bacon and a house beer. Heirloom tomato app, cream spinach and the STEAK.
Kitty ChingFebruary 15, 2013Get the sizzling bacon as your appetizer then the porterhouse & spinach as your side. Must order the "holy cow" as your dessert!
Jarel HillApril 7, 2022Burger was great, sauce was phenomenal. Bread and fries on point too. Expensive tho
Keren AtzlanMay 23, 2021Favorite burger. Great sides. Great steak. And dessert mmm. Good for groups.
Sandra RubinchikNovember 9, 2015This place is synonymous with medium rare porterhouse cuts, so get that. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it!)
Tonia SammanMay 16, 2011do yourself a favor on your next day off and get a burger here for lunch. succulent and meaty, cheap and made from the same dry aged beef they use for their famous steaks! which incidentally i can't a Read more
Sanjay GuptaJune 7, 2010The original NYC Steak House located over the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn. The steaks are amazing, ordered based on number of people not the cut of steak. Also, try the tomato & onion salad! Read more
macfixerOctober 21, 2016The tomato salad is so simple, yet a wonderful, flavorful treat. Don't sleep on it.
Brendan MOctober 3, 2015Steak dinners are the best in the city. But the lunchtime burger is the sleeper hit here- Nate FolkertJanuary 16, 2015creamed spinach is a vegetable, which basically makes this a healthy meal
Fraser WilkieDecember 20, 2010Always Go for the steak it goes without saying ! Also if people want the steak cooked different ways just go for medium as there will be rare and well done parts to it
Robert StevensonOctober 22, 2011A New York Institution. Broiled steaks for one, two, three or four are essentially the only menu options. Think German Haus, wood tables and cash only.
Halstead PropertySeptember 27, 2011If you’ve got some time to head over there for lunch, you’ll be pleased to know the lunch menu offers the exact same steaks as the dinner menu
Vadim SudovtsevJuly 2, 2019Get either at least steak for 2 or steak for 4 for thr best cuts. Thick cut bacon.
Whitney BaxterJune 22, 2013Go for lunch. Order the burger. They butcher the entire shell in the basement --> porterhouse hamburger. And have a dark!
Rebecca AtwoodJanuary 10, 2015Wear something smart, come here and order steak for two and a dry martini at this classic New York institution.- Laura MurphyJuly 23, 2011Tomatoe and onion with stk sauce, bacon by the strip, steak for however many are at your table. Creamed spinach and French fries as sides. Devine!
Stephanie KuoOctober 20, 2014Bring good friends and hearty appetites, order Steak to share (cooked under medium rare), Creamed Spinach, German Potatoes, and feast! Remember to get dessert and pile on decadent helping of Schlag!
Luci MikSeptember 14, 2022best steak I’ve ever had. Our server, Felipe, was kind, competent and helpful.
JoshApril 12, 2014Really strongly, vehemently disagree with whoever said to get it rare. I'm usually a rare/medium rare steak guy, but this was much much better medium and above.
Nickie SingletonJanuary 24, 2015Everything is delicious. Start off with a martini for an out of body experience.
Payman BahmaniSeptember 21, 2010No need to look at the menu. Just sit down, assess number of people at your table, and order steak for (fill in that number). Add thick cut bacon, Beefsteak tomato, or German potato sides and done.
Raymond KoningAugust 22, 2012Superfood!! Steak-for-2 is the best I ever had. We will be back next time we visit New York!!
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Steak House in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! How can anyone compare with the mother of all steakhouses?
