Menu
The menu at Peter Luger is sparse, with the focal point being a porterhouse steak sized for two to four.
Additionally, entrees include a rib steak, lamb, fresh seasonal fish and a rotating selection of daily lunch specials. The restaurant's supplementary dishes include a shrimp cocktail, beefsteak tomato and onion salad (served with steak sauce), home fries, french fries, creamed spinach, broccoli, onion rings, extra-thick bacon, and a variety of desserts.
Steaks are served pre-sliced on an inclined plate so that the fat runs down the plate. Further, the edges of the plates are heated to approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing diners to cook their steak further if they so choose. Peter Luger also serves hamburgers, which are only available for lunch.
The restaurant also features its own custom steak sauce which approximates the taste of cocktail sauce and traditional steak sauce, however Luger recommends not using the sauce on its fine steaks but to use it with the salads that accompany the dinner. Peter Luger also sells its steak sauce by mail order and through retailers around the country.
The only payment options at the restaurant are cash, check, a Peter Luger gift certificate or the Peter Luger credit card. In 2009 they added payment by debit card.

Famous quotes containing the word menu:
“Any moral philosophy is exceedingly rare. This of Menu addresses our privacy more than most. It is a more private and familiar, and at the same time, a more public and universal word, than is spoken in parlor or pulpit nowadays.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The menu was stewed liver and rice, fricassee of bones, and shredded dog biscuit. The dinner was greatly appreciated; the guests ate until they could eat no more, and Elisha Dyer’s dachshund so overtaxed its capacities that it fell unconscious by its plate and had to be carried home.”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Roast Beef, Medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life’s Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entrées, the hors d’oeuvres, and the things à la though you know that Roast Beef, Medium, is safe and sane, and sure.”
—Edna Ferber (1887–1968)
