I will agree that Peter Luger's is overrated but I have never heard anyone claim that it is fancy.
Peter Luger's has always been honest about billing itself as an old-school roadhouse, with its wood benches and communal tables.
It's all about the steak, which can be quite good, but are definitely expensive and can be inconsistent.
The cash-only policy for such an expensive restaurant is also annoying.
