The Owner

Gallagher's Steak House

Owner

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 steak house. 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.

The Scene – Three wood-lined dining rooms sprawl for what seems like half a block, festooned with black-and-white photos of former sports legends, chandeliers made with thick logs and a wonderful old mahogany bar populated by an assortment of well-dressed patrons, tourists and young steak-loving guys. Diners are served by tuxedoed captains and waiters. – – The Food – The star of this classic American steakhouse menu is the 28-day aged beef, which is exceptionally tender and full-flavored--you can see the aging-wood locker as you walk in. Go for the generous sirloin or…

Horrible

by thegooddevlin

caeser salad good, lobster bisque ok, crabcakes, ok..

2 prime ribs ordered medium,, 1 came out medium well, the other med. rare,, HELLO, i thought i was at a steakhouse, and they cant even fix steak!.

the salmon was dry, tasteless, had to add a lot of salt and pepper. .. green beans were cooked in just water, no butter, etc., if you dont like taste, then you'dlike this place,

otherwise, i'd recommend mcdonalds.. even ketchup cant save these pitiful steaks.

if anyone thinks these taste good, then you have a bad taste, and i'll never go anywhere you recommend.

to add to all this, the service was horrible, i got better service everywhere else i went to eat, including MCDonalds (which i hate), but got a coffee there!. while in n.y.

ever heard of a waiter bringing you a bottle of unopened wine, leaving it on the table for you to open? well,

if not, then go here, b/c it will happen to you!

Maitre D' offered us desserts, etc., at this point we were done, and i vowed to him to let all my peeps know not to go there.. he begged us to come to lunch the next day, no way jose, keep your crappy food, and sell it to the guinea pigs that are in awe of the ugly red checkered table clothes, rude waiters, and inconsistent cooking.

Worst restaurant I've visited

by Janeth

Maitre's was rude, waiter was rude not friendly at all , we had to ask for bread and water because it was not offer to us. Not toppings were offered for baked potatoe we had, and on top of all this the waiter impose a 20% tip on our bill, like he had done a good job with our business.

  • Cons: Lousy Service

Disgusting! Do not go.

by cyrilthottam

This place is horrible!!!! My girlfriend and I stopped in for lunch before a show yesterday and encountered one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had. The interior of the restaurant is decrepit by design and the slabs of beef at the entrance are an acquired taste to say the least. The bloody mary I ordered tasted like battery acid and the filet mignon that my girlfriend ordered and the burger I ordered (both medium) were burned very well on the outside and gushing cherry red on the inside. To make things extra special the elderly waiter as he delivered the food said " this is a very nice lunch for her (pointing to my girlfirend) but too bad you had to get the cheapest thing on the menu....." Since the old indian waiter spoke horrible english and I could tell he wasn't trying to be mean but making a very bad joke, I asked kindly for the manager to explain my dissatisfaction with his employees' comment. The manager was extremely apologetic but didn't seem surprised and was resigned to accept his employees incompetence / rudeness. Gallagher's steak house is disgusting. Do not go!!! Do not go!!!

  • Pros: Horrible!
  • Cons: Service, Food

The Details on Gallagher's Steak House

What to Drink:

Though the bottle list is rather skimpy, there are many wines by the glass to choose from.

Where to Sit:

For the most local color, ask for a table in the bar area. On slow nights, the enormous back room seems like an empty catering hall.
