The NEXT PETER LUGER? Wolfgang's Steakhouse Review

There are many who believe Peter Luger is the best steak in NYC, or Peter Luger is the best steak in the USA or even Peter Luger is the best steak in the world. However, we went to Peter Luger Steakhouse on this channel and we found Peter Luger overrated. The meat was chewy, lacking in strong meaty flavor, and the price was exorbitantly high. Peter Luger losing its Michelin Star seems to confirm that quality at the once legendary steakhouse in NYC has slipped drastically.
However, do not fret! Wolfgang's Steakhouse is one of the best steakhouses in NYC and Wolfgang's is still serving the original Peter Luger recipes. Founded by Wolfgang Zwiener, the former head waiter at Peter Luger of more than 30 years, Wolfgang's Steakhouse serves steak in the Peter Luger style, uses the Peter Luger meat supplier and its dry aging method, carries many of the Peter Luger menu items, such as the Peter Luger thick cut bacon, the Peter Luger sliced tomatoes and onions, and the Peter Luger german potatoes, and has waitstaff dressed in exactly the same manner as the Peter Luger waitstaff. If you are looking for the original Peter Luger taste, you can still find it at Wolfgang's. The similarities between the two restaurants are striking!

I been to Wolfgangs a couple of times... went here for a friends' 40th bday dinner back in march. Two things that I really loved before I get to food - outstanding service and true old school steakhouse vibe. For me those 2 things are pretty much a must (with the exception of del friscos double eagle - it's my wife family go to and i can't say no to steak and great drinks) .... anyways... the food. My friends went crazy with the seafood (I've had a seafood allergy since my mid 20s - life is unfair) - they enjoyed it also got the thick cut bacon (better than peter luger imo) I had the Porterhouse for 2 medium rare... very good, wouldn't say better than Peter Luger, but just about on par with - I actually finished it on my own... was proud lol. Had the Apple Strudel for dessert - outstanding. They also had a great wine selection. Can't go wrong here.

@les5309 Год назад

Hi UA. I have seen a few of your food reviews and like them. The one point I'd suggest is, that instead of trying to put butter on the outside of the roil or bread slice, proper etiquette says, break off a small piece and butter that morsel of bread. A small point but I think it would help your tasting, as well. it looks more correct to us viewers. Cheers.

@uaeats Год назад

The reason I butter the outside is I need one hand to film and the other to butter. Breaking it first is an extra step with two hands and is tricky to film

@garysarnowski3113 Год назад

Gallaghers steak house was mentioned in the comments. Never forget, we went to NYC for the Christmas show and I picked out Gallaghers for lunch. The other couples were repulsed by the dry aged raw meat display and the pricing! We sat down and left after the menu prices were looked at. Where did we go instead? TGIF! That was the last time we would go with them to the Christmas show. We went the next year, had a wonderful experience and food. I have a peter Luger charge card, always had a great meal there ten years ago. The first night I would have the steak for two plus all the trimmings, go there Tuesday night and have the chicken. Karl was my waiter of choice and enjoyed it all. Will give Wolfgang's a try next time in the city

Yep! Not associated with Wolfgang Puck, common misconception

@islandrepublic9166 Год назад

The challenge with steakhouses is that with the advent of the internet most people like me can make as good or sometimes better steaks thsn most of this RESTO and way way more affordable. My last visit to a well known steak outlet was good but somewhat underwhelming since we spent nearly 250$ for two and the service was very average.

@uaeats Год назад

Good point! I will argue that great steakhouses will still put out a superior product most of the time due to having access to better meat and kitchen appliances, but you're right that anyone these days can make an excellent steak at home that will be as good at least as most restaurants

@Cyberdragonfrenzy Год назад

I wonder if Peter luger has been either changing to a different beef source for price or maybe not doing the dry aging (not sure if they ever were doing that). The extra chewiness is definitely something I notice distinctively when you go down the beef grades, but usually not too noticeable even at choice grade which is what most supermarkets sell anyway so that's quite interesting.

@rjo8500 Год назад

Probably a different beef source. They’re still dry aging 30 days.

@tommytube268 Год назад

Been to Gallagher’s because it’s close to the theater I went to, but I enjoy it immensely. Great drinks, great steak, great rolls and my waiter was awesome. Older, funny guy, with Two hearings aids, but was right on the money without intrusive service. I recommend them also. Wolfgang’s looks absolutely fantastic and it’s not all the way to Brooklyn. Nothing against Brooklyn but if I can save the trip!

So I've never been, but now I most certainly have to go! Definitely dig the old school vibe, and proper aged beef! One for you to try, which I stumbled upon totally unplanned, but was extremely happy with is Porter House Bar & Grill by Chef Mike Lomonaco in the Time Warner Center. I went during lunch service and it was excellent!

@uaeats Год назад

Thanks for the rec! I'll need to give it a try!

@alebroker7587 Год назад

Hey UA good review mate. How would you rate Gallaghers next to Wolfgangs??

@uaeats Год назад

Good question! They're very hard to compare, just different. Wolfgang's is more buttery. Gallaghers is not covered in butter but is an excellent steak with a different presentation style. I guess I give gallaghers an edge but it's totally personal preference here

@asorianomarquez Год назад

Another great review!

@asorianomarquez Год назад

Your honesty is refreshing to watch. Honesty is seriously underrated! $39 for a salad, fries and small skirt steak is absolutely overpriced!

@steves2241 Год назад

The best steakhouse near me in Peoria Illinois is Alexanders, it has a 12 oz. Ribeye for $39, and that includes the salad bar. I had one the other night and it was amazing, with the salad bar and a soft drink my bill was about $43, with tip it cost me $50. And I only ate half my steak, I took the other half home with me to eat the next day. That is the high end. I know another place that does a really good boneless Ribeye for $25, and that comes with 2 sides. I get it to go sometimes and take it home, it is almost as good as the Ribeye at Alexanders, for $15 cheaper, so that is what I usually get when I want a steak. $39 for a salad is laughable, and my Father would chew me out if I wasted $39 on a salad.

@classicsciencefictionhorro1665 7 месяцев назад

Peoria is in the middle of nowhere (no offense meant). In NYC rents are very high as are labor costs etc. So tourists will have sticker shock. @@steves2241

@MrLilsmileysancho Год назад

Your channel is amazing. I had peter luger and Wolf Gang steaks, and you are spot on Wolf gang steaks are far, far better. I love how you are truly honest. Also, Peter luger is super over-rated. I had it multiple times and not yet surprised me at all.

I have to admit this, but when I watch your videos and you take a bite of your food , my first reaction is that you don’t like it. It’s because you close your eyes, shake your head and go “augh!!!!!” Is that your signature “I love it” moment? Your videos are, however, very entertaining and informative.

@steves2241 Год назад

I can get one of the best boneless Ribeye steak dinners I ever had for $25, from a place that is about half a block from where I live in Washington Illinois, it is called Palanzas. It is a 12 oz. boneless Ribeye, it comes with some kind of amazing mushroom sauce, and 2 sides, I usually get a baked potato and a salad, and it also comes with garlic bread that they make in house. I would rather have that than any $65 or higher steak from any so-called fancy steakhouse.

> *However, we went to Peter Luger Steakhouse on this channel and we found Peter Luger overrated* IMO purely to say the brand on the whole would be overrated... IMO you'd have to try the Great Neck location if you've not already, since there definitely are many differences in the experience (and the "feel" of the place compared to the Williamsburg location) to make a fair assertion. That said, I really would like to try Wolfgang's some day - it sounds amazing.

It is probably due to them changing hands to the grandkids??? They are shortcutting on things I suppose? Maybe getting a lower quality of beef which dry aging doesn't help as much, or they are not dry aging long enough, that doesn't make sense not dry aging long enough. If they get a lower quality of beef, they should dry age longer but I guess they can only dry age so many at one time....
