You are definitely correct. It’s bacon unlike any other. It’s probably a half inch thick. Kind of nuts. I’ve had it only once before, it’s more of an appetizer than something that you’d put on the burger. Just one more brick in the carnivore’s castle that is Peter Luger.

Where’s your top burger?

I should clarify; they have bacon, its just not listed on the menu.

The bacon is not on the menu, and you would not want it on your burger. its a serious slab. I can’t remember the exact price, but its like $5 a slab. its really a steal.

Michael-

For your money, what is the best burger in NYC? Let’s hear your Top 5.

How much is the bacon, you got us all intrigued but didn’t write the price? I’ve had the bacon and it is a serious experience, a meal in itself. It’s about as thick as my thumb and as long as my forearm. Pretty crazy for one piece. But hey, it’s Lugers, a man’s place. It shouldn’t be any other way.

Thanks for the comment.

Lugers may not be the best burger in NYC, but it is surely the best buy. Its up there in the top 5 burgers, and at 8.95, its a steal. Want the other steal at Lugers? Ask for an order of Bacon. One thick slab. I think its less than bucks. Yum!

Lugers is real solid, except the one time I got the burger, i ordered it medium rare and it literally came out well done. I did not enjoy it at all, but had it been cooked right, I’m sure it would have been great.

If you like shrimp cocktail, you MUST order it here — they give you like 4 of the biggest shrimp you’ll ever see in your life. I’m surprised Luger’s wasn’t mentioned in the Mitchell Report, because they’re definitely doing something illegal to these shrimp.

Also, you can’t talk about Lugers without mentioning the INCREDIBLE Schlag (their homemade whipped cream). Honestly, i don’t even like whipped cream, but this stuff is truly awesome. they give you a huuuge bowl of it, and it works perfectly with their chocolate mousse cake.
