The Best Steakhouses in Brooklyn, by the Record

The best steakhouses in Brooklyn, by the professional record: Michelin Guide, Vogue, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Peter Luger comes out on top.

  1. Rank 1. Peter Luger

    Steakhouse

    The cash-only policy has turned away more than a few first-timers who showed up unprepared, which is arguably part of the point. This old-school Brooklyn steakhouse runs on dry-aged Porterhouse, no-nonsense servers, and wood-paneled rooms full of people who've been coming for decades. The sides are simple, the schlag is non-negotiable, and the whole operation moves with the cheerful brusqueness of a place that has never once considered changing anything.
