Wolfgang’s “claim” to fame as stated on its website is:
“After 4 decades of experience, it is fair to say that Wolfgang Zwiener learned his craft well. Taking the core principles from his years as Peter Luger’s head waiter, Wolfgang didn’t just duplicate an exceptional steakhouse; he improved upon it making Wolfgang’s Steakhouse extraordinary. Wolfgang’s Steakhouse is serving lunch and dinner seven days a week including all major holidays.”
Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, if you told me that you’d been Peter Luger’s Head Chef or maybe even Peter Luger’s Assistant Head Chef, or maybe even Peter Luger’s Assisant’s Assistant Head Chef you might have gotten a “rise” out of me- but Head Waiter, I don’t think so! Look at it this way, when Jeff Eats lived in Manhattan, Bill Cosby was a neighbor that I saw something like 3-4 times a week for something like 5 years- and I’m not a “charged” sex offender! See what I mean? 🙂
Anyway,
Last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate at Wolfgang’s- sizzling bacon appetizer, fresh mozzarella and beefsteak tomato salad, porterhouse for 2, grilled Chilean sea bass, veal chop milanese, fried onion rings, lobster mac & cheese, sautéed onions and I gotta tell you- everything was right on the money! If you promise not to tell Wolfgang- all four of us were very impressed by his- upscale but easy going décor, his pleasant-easy going and very competent wait-staff and his “prices”- which weren’t too over the top for the delicious food we had!
Let me wrap this up for you…
Jeff Eats loved Wolfgang’s Steakhouse- and on second thought, I’m thinking- that Wolfgang definitely learned a trick or two from his Peter Luger- “gig.”
Have eaten in the 41st Street restaurant loads of time. Food and service are terrific.
Great spot. You have to get the burger during lunch. One of the best in S Florida. Check out my rankings

Years ago this guy opened on Commercial Blvd right by the Intracoastal Bridge. The food was good but the place which had a different name than Wolfgang’s closed up after a year or two. I ate there 3x and it was very good but definitely not in Luger’s league.

Oh and you have to get the schlag
Ksr,
You sure it’s the same guy? I think this is his first restaurant in Florida.
Same guy and he also had one in Naples, Florida.
Same guy.
The joint was 2 blocks away from Pomperdale Deli.
Food was good but the joint never caught on.
Outrageously delicious food.
