This is by far the most unsnitary kitchen I've ever seen. Waiters grab raw bacon with their bare hands and do not wash their hands. Raw hamburger meat is left out on the kitchen line during lunch hours. Lunch is 12 to 4. Bacteria grow in the first 20 min and multiply every 30 minutes. After 2 hours bacteria excrete all over your med rare burger. NICE! The trays that the waiters use to bus yor tables are the same ones that carry raw meat. And the worst is that dirty rag that sits in a bucket of warm, dirty, still soapy water, that the waiters use to "clean" your table. Not to mention that these are the grumpiest, rudest waiters I have ever encountered. I've worked in top restaurants NY and this is by far the most unsanitized. Do your health a favor and goto a diffrent steak house!!

Unfortunately, Peter Luger in Great Neck seems to be losing it. Once the bastion of great steaks, they have now descended to the point of arguing with its customers and trying to prevent them from even getting in the door. My wife reserved around 2 months in advance of a Saturday night for two people. Unfortunately, when they called to reconfirm the day before they claimed we booked for THREE, not two. When we mentioned that there were only two people dining, they WOULDN'T honor our reservation. "What?" we said. "Can't we sit at a table for 3?" No. "But it's not our fault. We made a reservation for 2". You must have, because we show a reservation for 3. After several minutes of this, my wife asked to speak with the manager. "I am the manager", the caller stated, rather arrogantly. The net-net - either we were to show up, LIE that the 3rd diner wasn't showing up (which could result in our reservation being canceled) or being placed on a WAITLIST for a 2-person table. "We're trying to accommodate you", the manager said, "but no guarantees". To paraphrase Seinfeld - what's the point of a reservation if they don't honor it? Well, we'll eat somewhere else. Thanks Peter Luger. My in-laws, who have eaten there for over 20 years, were astounded and called up to speak with the same manager. Their opinion is that the guy is a completely arrogant person. Times must be good for Peter Luger, because one would think that in this economy (much less the rest of the time) they would actually WANT people to dine there. Unfortunately not. They've now lost at least a couple of patrons, and I will be spreading the word amongst my friends. If you're a loyal diner of Peter Luger in Great Neck I hope you enjoy your meal and the service, because this review is not meant to take anything away from the wait staff or the chefs. However, I hope that the ownership reads this and gives their manager(s) an education on how to treat customers.

I have always heard about Peter Luger as being supreme in steaks. I went there with a large group of people and I was the only one that ordered chicken. I wanted to be different, plus I am not a big fan of steak. Anyway, the chicken was good, not great. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their steaks, but what made an impression on me was the dining area. I throught it looked worn out and ugly. Not that I am not a fan of wood floors - my house is almost all wood floors and area rugs, but at Peter Luger it just turned me off. The wood looked very worn and it was creaky and I was not at all impressed. For an expensive place like this, they should line the floors with gold and satin.
