Best

We went to Gallagher's on a recommendation from a friend. I loved the NY Steakhouse decor. We had an excellent, friendly waiter who was very accommodating. The steaks were cooked ...

Worst

The meat was cooked wrong for half the group and the waiter was well done. Tougher than a bow legged steer. My steak was cooked ok but my attitude sucked after our group dealt wit...

Great steak and service 1/21/2006

as a former meat cutter and semi gourmet cook, every visit to Gallaghers has been exceptional. We have eaten at Gllaghers 7 times and the tenderloin and service have been impeccable everytime. Old time ambience and worth every penny. If you are looking for a bargain, go elsewhere. If you are looking for great steaks and service, I highly recommend Gallaghers. Enjoy! Pros: Tenderloin, Service more

Dissapointed 10/19/2005

For all I've heard about Gallagher's, I expected more for my $$$$. The service was fine, our waiter was prompt and courteous. But in my opinion the food isn't worth the expense. I've had better crabcake and steak elsewhere, for a third of the price! My steak (ribeye), was flavorless. So was the creamed spinach... Pros: Waiter, Bar Cons: Food, Value more

Broadway Classic 9/24/2005

I've been dining at Gallagher's since the 1970's and have always found the entire experience to be enjoyable. Most recently, my family and I had lunch there on September 24th. My wife's Cobb Salad was large and delicious. My chopped sirloin was prefectly cooked and juicy. The $20.05 Power Lunch special is a real bargain for 3 courses. The ambiance is old New York. I especially love the dry aged steaks, an expensive process rarely found in steakhouses. We'll keep coming back! Pros: steaks, tradition, ambiance Cons: spotty service more

Been Coming Here For 40 Years 7/29/2005

There are steakhouses and then there are STEAKHOUSES. My parents first brought me to Gallaghers back in the early 60's and every time I am in New York, I stop in at least once. From its walls lined with autographed pictures of notable celebrities and the aged wood floor which once was covered with sawdust, to the checkered tablecloths and oak furnishings, Gallaghers first surrounds you with its history. Then the food and quality service take over to complete the fantasy. The appetizers are large and tasty and the steaks are out of this world. If you want to share in the history of Broadways first steakhouse while you have a wonderful meal with some of the cities notables, you must visit Gallaghers. Pros: Food, Service, Location more

great food, can you find a waiter? 6/18/2005

The food is unbelievable, but the waiters are nowhere to be found. Despite being the only people in the restaurant on an early sunday afternoon, the service felt as if there was a 2-hour wait on a friday night. Still better than bensons or chris's. frankie and johnies still number 1 more

best steak house-gallaghers 6/13/2005

For those people that have poor reviews about Gallaghers-you should continue to go to mcdonalds or something- there is NOTHING bad about gallaghers at all teh food is delightful the service perfect and the wine list is just fine- it is a great restaurant with even better food....If you haven't been to Gallaghers-YOU MUST! The food is amazing-from the soup to appetizers and salads ( I must reccommend the caesar salad!) to the delicious steaks you wil enjoy every moment! And may I say if you leave without trying the chocolate mousse cake-you will be missing out! Whether you are a group of 2 or 20 Gallaghers wil accommodate you! Enjoy! Pros: right in the heart of the theatre district, many parking garages, and a wonderful experience with great food.... Cons: i dont have any-if you arent used to spending $$ then dont go to gallaghers - more

Nice choice for visitors 5/12/2005

I went to Gallagher's last night with my friends from overseas and they really loved it. Tasty steaks and wonderful ""good old days"" decor. the service was not so great, though...it took us forever to get the server's attention. We ordered 4 dishes of different cuts of beef and shared with 6 people, in addition to a couple of potatos, salads and desserts...came up to be $55 per person including the tip. Not so bad considering that we were in the middle of the times square. In conclusion; excellent choice for forign visitors who don't have time to travel to Downton or Brooklyn and wants to have good Amrican food. But if you live in New York, I don't find much reason to go there. Pros: decor, location more

User review by cmar157 5/5/2005

Wow It is the best steak I have ever eaten. I have eaten at a lot of steakhouses and find most of them average at best but Gallaghers is the best by far. The service and food were above all expectations and I expected a lot. I would highly recommend. Pros: great service, great food, very clean more

WOW 11/29/2004

The service was beyond belief.. the quality superb... the best tasting filet mignon that I have ever had!!! Pros: Good Parking, Environment, Wait Staff more

Best Steakhouse 5/18/2004

I consider myself well-versed in steakhouses - this place truely legendary. Walk in and your stepping into ""good ol' New York"". The steaks are as good as they get, and what sets these guys apart from the majority of steakhouses is that they take the rest of the menu just as seriously. Do try the baby spinach salad, dry-aged sirloin, hash brown potatoes and their ""killer"" rice pudding. Pros: Dry Aged Prime Beef, Excellent Service, Great Atmosphere Cons: , Not great for kids more

Best Steaks in New York 5/18/2004

I found the real New York steak house, Gallagher's Steak House. This restaurant signifies the classic old New York with excellent prime steaks. Being a steak lover and knowing the difference between good beef and great beef, this is great beef. The staff is another New York classic experience, straight forward service with a true and positive New York attitude which makes it the real deal. No other place to eat and experience great steaks. Pros: Great steaks, professional service, Great New York histor more

Great Experience 2/16/2004

Went to Gallaghers for the first time on a Saturday night, had no problem getting reservations, great staff-great service. Food was amazing, blows Ruth's Chris away! Pros: Service, Great Food, Good Value more

Very good 1/30/2004

I've dined at Gallagher's on a few occasions and have always been pleased. The steaks are wonderful and the service is good. Very convenient if going to a show nearby. Pros: good food, good service, convenient location more

Who's working for who?? 11/24/2003

Not one person working there, from the minute we walked in, was friendly, smiled or cared to have our business. We were 4 adults with 4 kids (aged 10), when we approached the coatcheck she told us she wasn't taking the kids' coats -- that we should hang them behind the chair! Our waiter was inattentive. Gave an attitued when we requested their much hyped pre-fixe menu, had to ask many times for water, extra soda. would never go back -- ever. Too many other places that I would give my $$$$ to. Pros: location to theater Cons: bad attitudes, outdated decor more

The waiter 8/11/2003

The meat was cooked wrong for half the group and the waiter was well done. Tougher than a bow legged steer. My steak was cooked ok but my attitude sucked after our group dealt with Mr. Personality. more

Best Porterhouse in NY 8/1/2003

I had dinner with a few of my friends, and it was the best we've had in a long time. The porterhouse and filet were tender. Just being able to see the dry aging process in front of you is wonderful. The atmosphere and service was great. The waiters made you feel at home. But the most important thing is you get a huge steak for a great price, especially in Manhattan. more

Pretty Good for the Location 6/11/2003

You will be hard pressed to find a better steak in such a ""touristy"" area. But on the whole, the food is only few degrees above pretty good... nothing exceptional. Pros: Atmosphere, Fairly Good Food more

Big Steaks, great service 2/25/2003

The steaks we had (porterhouse & sirloin) were generously thick and delicious. Not inexpensive, but the staff treats you like royalty and the experience was topnotch. more

LUCIOUS 2/15/2003

VACATIONING IN N.Y., I HAD SEEN THIS ON A WEBSITE AND REQUESTED INFORMATION BY MAIL. RECEIVED IT PROMPTLY. DAUGHTER AND I WENT THERE TUESDAY, DEC. 10, 2002. WE DIDN'T HAVE A RESERVATION - ARRIVED AT 1:30 AND WERE SEATED RIGHT AWAY. SAT NEXT TO A TABLE OF ""GOOD 'OL BOYS (REGULARS). THEY WERE NICE AND FRIENDLY. WE ORDERED THE FILET MIGNON AND IT WAS SPECTACULAR AND HUGE. THE BREAD BASKET, SALADS AND DESSERTS (CHEESECAKE AND WARM MAPLE CUSTARD) WERE SUBLIME. I WISH I LIVED IN NY. I WOULD EAT THERE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. Pros: FOOD, PRICES, SERVICE Cons: NOT LIVING IN NY more

classic 9/25/2002

This is the prototype for pricey, quality steakhouses. The steaks are delicious, dry aged (you see them when you walk in the door) and cooked well (thoughthey tend to go a little rarer than what you order, so if you want med. rare, order medium - beter yet, tell your waiter how you like it bloody, pink brown etc and he'll get it to you just the way you want it.) The waitstaff is well trained and helpful. The portions are HUGE. Have never had any problems with the prime or any of the steaks. (and if you read that they are fatty - they should have fat on them - they have to have fat to get flavor!) Here's the surprise: go for the sorbets - best we've ever had! Pros: perfect beef, fantastic sorbets, good wine list Cons: pricey, too much food, old man atmosphere more

Owner Message
  • Gallagher's opened its doors in 1927, a speakeasy with a secret password and a clientele list that read like a Who's Who of Broadway. 75 years later, Gallagher's has set the standard for the real New York City steakhouse. USDA prime beef, dry aged in their own meat locker and grilled to perfection over hickory logs. For a real NYC steak house experience - there's nothing quite like Gallagher's.
