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.
Agreed - they don't try to be fancy and certainly are not. In fact, for that reason as well as being located in Brooklyn and being cash (or PL credit) only, I prefer Wolfgangs or Ben and Jacks.
If I'm going to spend $75-100 for food, plus whatever else for drinks, I at least want to be in a "nice" restaurant with decent service.
