Gallagher's Steak House

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.

Editorial Review for Gallagher's Steak House – by Bryan Miller

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 the porterhouse, both grilled over hickory. Double rib lamb chops are superior as well. If for some reason you arrive craving seafood, grilled swordfish is light and satisfying. The supporting cast includes steak fries, creamed spinach, tasty hash browns and strawberry shortcake.

Insider Tips

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.

What to Drink

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

I've been to Gallagher's many times. They have great steaks and sides and a very good wine list. They also have good service and a nice atmosphere. Great for business lunches or to go with the family. Always have a fun time at Gallagher's!

Pros: Food Quality, Service

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Extremely rude wait staff. The food was average at best, certainly nothing special at this restaurant! Save your money and go somewhere else.
