Same here! I've been watching video after video. At first, I thought he really didn't like a dish because of his facial expressions...but nope, it meant, he loved it!!! LOL
I like your honest opinion on our steakhouse. I believe you were a walk in on Friday. I want you to reach out to me tomorrow (Tuesday) at the front desk of Tribeca and ask for Rocky the manager. At anytime in the afternoon. We loved the video and would like to buy you and your friend dinner😁 -Rocky
Love your videos. They are honest, unbiased and informative. I also like your pleasant enthusiasm. I stumbled across one of your reviews a couple of weeks ago, and have since watched them all. Looking forward to the next one!
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.
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
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.
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
Your reviews are awesome. You go above and beyond and provide all the details a traveler/tourist will need to go to the destination. Thank you!!! Your videos make planning a trip to NYC a breeze. Adding this spot to my list!! Subscribed!
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.
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
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.
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
I love Wokfgangs. I went there a couple years ago on Thanksgiving and it's one of my staples when I visit NYC. The one in Tribeca. Those potatoes are only second to Pappas Bros here in Dallas
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.
at 1:56, is it me or does this sound like a recorded track of the background noise? seems like a loop of the sound, but I love the video, cant wait to try the restaurant!
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.
Wolfgang’s Steakhouse is one of my favorite restaurant!❤. I usually get porterhouse for two and with mushroom sides. I never use the steak sauce because simply it doesn’t need it. Nice review, UA!
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!
I love getting info of the different places you go to! Especially the hidden gems! Please check out the many many gems we have here in New Jersey! I would love to hear your opinions on the diverse foods they have here! Keep up the awesome work!😊👍🏼
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
Awsome video UA, can't wait for your upcoming videos.. Oh I do apologise but I seem to hear repated backgroud hum / chatter at 2:00 ish. You got me subbed man. Best of luck.
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.
some wow comments from people who knew wolfgang as well as the mgmt there. You are famous lol. I mean that in a good way.Congrats. Recently started watching your videos.Good luck.keep it up.
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.
Been watching your videos. Fantastic. Question: are there any higher end steak houses that DON'T lather butter over steaks (because most Americans love butter)? I don't like butter because it coats my tongue and I can't taste the meat.
His face when he’s enjoying something haha 😂 doesn’t look like he’s really enjoying it. I know he is, but it’s funny because it seems like he’s disgusted or disappointed
> *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.
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!
I never been to their NY location, they had another location in Miami which was amazing, best porterhouse steak i ever had, but after covid they never opened again sadly..
Wolfgang was my waiter at Peter lugers for 15 YEARS! He knows what he's doing, and he's a great guy!
Wow cool! It's neat you got to be served by him
Me Too Brother 🙏🏼!!!!!
Yes very cool story. Could you tell He was gonna be a steak superstar
Same I also had the honor to be served by him quite a few times
Wolfgang was my waiter also for atleast 30 yrs
You are fast becoming my favourite food review channel! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words!

Someone bring Wolfgang to Australia.Love your honesty mate-It shows in your vision and commentary UA.Love your stuff!!
Thank you!
Those steaks always look so dang gorgeous being served with all that sizzling. Not to mention the sauce!
Yes the sizzling plate really makes it dinner with a show!
I’ve been to both, Peter Luger is a lot of hype, but Wolfgang’s is the real deal. Probably the best steak I’ve ever had!
For sure !!!
It's very good!
Your reviews are awesome. You go above and beyond and provide all the details a traveler/tourist will need to go to the destination. Thank you!!! Your videos make planning a trip to NYC a breeze. Adding this spot to my list!! Subscribed!

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

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.

I always thought it was Wolfgang Puck steakhouse, lol Didn’t know that it was a former Peter Luger style steakhouse!
Yep! Not associated with Wolfgang Puck, common misconception
I love Wokfgangs. I went there a couple years ago on Thanksgiving and it's one of my staples when I visit NYC. The one in Tribeca. Those potatoes are only second to Pappas Bros here in Dallas
I'm a fan as well. I'll try Pappaa Bros if I'm ever in Dallas!
You the man UA! Keep the vids coming!
Thanks! I will!
My favorite thing about these videos is him actually eating the food!
I just Love this guy!! Awesome and truthful and honest!!
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.
Probably a different beef source. They’re still dry aging 30 days.

A part of me wants to try Peter Luger again sometime but it seems I'm not the only one who had a bad experience
Wolfgang’s Steakhouse is one of my favorite restaurant!❤. I usually get porterhouse for two and with mushroom sides. I never use the steak sauce because simply it doesn’t need it. Nice review, UA!
3:05 couldn’t tell if that was a face of deliciousness or disgust 😂
Lol I never noticed these faces before I made this channel

Yes New Jersey is a very underrated state in terms of food. I'll keep covering places here!
Hey UA good review mate. How would you rate Gallaghers next to Wolfgangs??
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
Great food reviews! Keep on doing it💯

Another great one UA Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks UA
Always a Great review. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Hope you get to review Cote KBBQ someday!
My favs are the golden steer and the steakhouse at Circus Circus...yes I said it.
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.

Getting hungry watching your terrific videos! I want to try Wolfgang’s! Thank you. Great honest review.
Very good upfront vlog! I did Peter Lugars 30 years ago & never went back!
I really enjoy your videos! I'm a new fan! Keep up the great work!
Man you weren’t kidding about the staff and service at both places. 😂
dude you shouldve made this into a series you know like visiting steakhouse around USA
I'll compile them into a playlist!
some wow comments from people who knew wolfgang as well as the mgmt there. You are famous lol. I mean that in a good way.Congrats. Recently started watching your videos.Good luck.keep it up.

Get a tongue transplant. Could always try Golden Corral or Sizzler.
Best reviews 👍
Thank you!
Love your videos!!
Thanks!
which one in NYC do you recommend?
This was my first FANCY steakhouse. Changed my idea of what a steak can be
Love your reviews. keep up the content
Would u say Wolfgang or Gallagher for best steaks in NYC?
Love your videos UA! Your passion and enthusiasm reminds me of channels like Mark Wiens and Mikey Chen!
Thank you! Those are food vlog giants so that's big praise!
If you are ever in Dallas or Houston I’d love to see you review Pappas brothers steakhouse
Thanks for the rec!
Looks Amazing ✅ Great Review Thank You So Much 😊
Yes! Absolutely! Wolfgang is much better than Luger's.
you do a great job,very happy video....great!
Thanks!
Another great review!
Grats on 10k I love Wolfgang’s
Thanks!
Doesn't matter which place you go to, paying these outrageous prices for a piece of meat is moronic. 🤪😜🤑🤮🤮🤮😵💫😵💫
His face when he’s enjoying something haha 😂 doesn’t look like he’s really enjoying it. I know he is, but it’s funny because it seems like he’s disgusted or disappointed
Theres one in my city and you’ve tempted me to check it out…
I definitely recommend trying it for a splurge meal! Hopefully the one in your city will be of similar quality
Love the videos brother
Thank you!
I agree bro , I have never put steak sauce on a delicious piece of meat ! Medium rare with a little seasonings and it's fantastic !!
> *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.
When are you going to fly to Florence, Italy for one of their famous steaks?
Hi, bro, u wanna know if in Wolfgang accept credit cards 💳 or is the same like Peter luger? 😮
I couldn't afford the salad.
I’d be put off paying big money at any establishment where the waiting staff slouch around cross armed and look like you’re an inconvenience to them.
love your channel
great video, would be even better with a glass of wine? smith wollensky in the pipeline?
GREAT REVIEW MAN!!!!!!
Thanks!
UA - you are adorable! Love your videos! Hope to drive down to Gallagher's some day for a good steak!
oops i missed the live chat. nice review
Thanks!
Wait til you learn that the branches of Wolfgang Steakhouse in Manila, Philippines charge approximately US$160 per Porterhouse or Ribeye steak.
can you review Sizzler?
Like watching your videos, one little bit of criticism would be the music. I think you can do without, or use it here and there. Keep it up!
I get this feedback a lot but I've found when I take the music out the video feels much slower paced. Appreciate the feedback though!
You can wear hoodie to Wolfgang?
Have you tried Benjamin’s steak house?
Great review! Next Mike Chen! 💯🔥
Thanks!
Good looking steak UA. and great review
Thank you!
Bro,you're making me hungry and I just ate
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!
Thanks for the rec! I'll need to give it a try!
Do a Franklin BBQ vs Snows BBQ. Both won the best BBQ in Texas Magazine.
Just amazing! Keep up
Thanks!
new subscriber here, I love your style, best wishes!
don't concur with your Peter Luger review but I really enjoy your channel! I gotta give Wolfgangs a shot!
To each their own of course! Glad you are enjoying the channel!
You may have me given me a reason to go back to NYC again,
You know what’s next, hawksmoor steakhouse.
Great suggestion!
Thankiuu !
how does Wolfgang's compare to Keens and Gallaghers?
All three steakhouses are excellent. I think it's just personal preference there. I like Gallaghers the most but that's just me
Didnt go outside for your full feedback like usual ?
Hmmm
A little bias UA ?
Dont be mad at the OG peter
Great review !
do u think the steak was cooked in a 1000 degree oven? or infrared oven?
Good question! I'm not sure
Would love to see you review SPARKS Steakhouse in NYC. It is a legendary restaurant that very few talk about these days.
Mob hits and all 😂
@@rjo8500 Its amazing how that one incident has lingered over the restaurant for nearly 40 years.
@@adellis24 It is a pretty famous incident
@@iec7587 That's the point though, more people today still know the Gotti story than they do they restaurant seemingly.
@@adellis24 I have been there 4-5 times (havent been in 12 years) and it came up each time
German Potatoes name in Germany is: Bratkartoffeln
I never been to their NY location, they had another location in Miami which was amazing, best porterhouse steak i ever had, but after covid they never opened again sadly..
Sad. At least they have other locations
So out there review. Wow. Subscribing
You gotta try Benjamin’s in westchester 🔥
I like the NY strip as well, you have a good taste
I'm a fan of it!
You should check out hawksmoor steak house!
I like Wolfgang’s. You can get a great steak in a clean high end environment.
It's a good spot!
Hey U E need more new videos. Thanks Debbie
I’m guessing you are NY local? How about some classic New York diners review, maybe breakfast ?😊
