![]() When the burger was brought to the table, I was shocked to see the thick, fat, bacon steak on top of the burger patty! No wonder they charge $4.95 for the bacon for this burger. I knew their Canadian Bacon is thick bacon steak, but I thought they will have thinner bacon for burger. Funny thing, everyone else at the table followed my lead and ordered the burger as well. It also comes with steak fries and onion rings. On my second visit, I was ready for some meat! I decided to go with their Classic Sirloin Burger ($8.95) with American Cheese ($2) and Bacon ($4.95). It was a nice way to end the delicious lunch. I ended the pleasant lunch with a cappuccino, which came with nice creamy foam and dash of cinnamon powder on top. Simple but yet flavorful, and very filling. Again, simple seasoning so that you can taste the ingredients. The asparagus were cooked until soft, without getting mushy, which is the way I like it. Didn’t have crazy seasoning on it so that you can really taste the fresh salmon. This dish also had generous amount of salmon, it was a huge slab of salmon steak! And it was cooked just right, with outside grilled until crispy, yet the inside is juicy, flaky, and soft. We also had Grilled Salmon ($21.95), which comes with asparagus. Our waiter, Milo, was really nice and attentive, and he was nice enough to add more of their complimentary bread with my left over to-go bag. I couldn’t finish the whole plate, I took about the half of it home. This dish was a big winner, it was really delicious! And their bread with garlic went perfect with this dish. The linguine had the right amount of firmness. The sauce was flavorful with a little kick to it, and seafood was cooked just right. It was really huge, I was so happy! It had mountain load of seafood, and had nice amount of pasta hiding underneath it. When it came to the table, I was surprised of the generous portion. It comes with clams, shrimp and sea bass with light spicy marinara sauce, served over thin linguine. We didn’t feel like having a steak or red meat on this day, so we ordered Seafood Pasta ($24.95). The Canadian Bacon ($4.95) was super juicy, flavorful, packed with flavor. I decided to share it with my colleague, and they were nice enough to bring the pre-cut bacon in half to each of us. I wanted to order one, but since it is a thick slab of bacon, I didn’t want the whole order. Their bacon is really thick, more like bacon “steak” than the regular bacon out there. I have been to Peter Luger a few times, and also been to one of the Wolfgang’s Steakhouse locations in Manhattan. I remember how good their bacon was from both places. I feel like I wanted more lemon flavor than it had, maybe it was a bit too watery. Not too sweet, which was nice, but nothing really special. The garlic bread was really flavorful, soft, airy, and really tasty. It had baguette and another kind of bread with garlic in it. Which is nothing wrong with that, for as long as both are delicious!Īs we sat down, they brought out some complimentary breads, which were large and soft. Naturally, there are some similarities in the menu and style of food, even though they like to be firm about the difference between Zwiener’s steakhouse and Peter Luger’s… However, if you dine at both locations, you will see and taste the similarities. He opened his own restaurant with the 4o years of experience with his son, and two other waiters from Peter Luger. Wolfgang’s Steakhouse was established by Wolfgang Zwiener, who worked at the legendary Peter Luger for 40 years as the head waiter. In case you are wondering the connection between Wolfgang’s Steakhouse and Wolfgang Puck, make no mistake, they are two completely different and separate entities. I have been there twice during lunch time, both weekdays, and they were not busy at all. But, this is outskirts of NJ… We went during the week day, and it was almost empty. The dining area is really large as well, more than enough to handle crazy amount of people. It is a nice bar, and has lots of seating. When you enter, you see a pretty good bar area with long bar counter. ![]() ![]() This restaurant was huge, even comes with nice outside seating. One benefit of having a restaurant in NJ vs. Regardless, I had opportunities to visit this location, and I am always up for a good meal, anywhere, anytime. It is not a metropolitan city, or any kind of major city, really, so it seemed a bit out of the place. But, I was still surprised when I found one in Somerville, NJ, of all places. I knew Wolfgang’s Steakhouse was and is expanding everywhere, both domestically and internationally.
