Restaurant Reviews for Gallagher's Steak House

Gallagher's Steak House reservations Gallagher's Steak House

228 West 52nd Street
New York, NY 10019

Celebrating its 81st Anniversary, Gallagher’s has remained a New York City dining landmark; the decor and ambiance have been passionately preserved to create the Classic Steakhouse experience. People come to Gallagher’s for the steak. Gallagher’s is the only steakhouse in New York City that grills their steaks over hickory coals. Our USDA Prime Beef is dry aged in-house for 21 days at a constant temperature of 36 degrees. Dry aging beef produces a more tender, buttery and complex flavor profile in the beef. The combination of all-natural dry aging and hickory coals makes a steak you cannot find any place else in the New York area. This celebrated restaurant remains exactly the same as it always has been and so does the extraordinary mix of our clientele -showbiz and entertainment people from all over the world, sports figures in the boxing, horse racing, football, baseball, basketball and hockey world, and business professionals.

Review 3 for Gallagher's Steak House

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"A group of 4 of us went to Gallagher's for a meal before the Friday sesion the Big East Tournement. Gallagher's is a great N.Y. spot for pre or most sporting events. We dined on a cold shell fish platter of lobster, shrimp, oysters & clams and lumb crab meat. My friends had rib eyes & filet and I had the bone in sirlion. All the steaks were tasty and grilled to perfection. We also treated ourselves to a nice bottle of Jordan. A great start to a great night of hoops in N.Y."

"The steak is still pretty good after 25 years...the service was attentive, but the overall atmosphere was one of fatigue. It just seems a little worn out, you know? I'm glad I took my adult daughter there, though. It's been a landmark for a long time."

Review 8 for Gallagher's Steak House

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"I asked for a "romantic" table and we were placed on a bench on the heavy server's traffic way. The restaurant was not full and there were certainly more desirable tables. As for atmosphere, it felt a bit like a diner or a barbecue joint, certainly not fine dining.

The prime rib was nice, but not exceptional. The broccoli was steamed with no discernable seasoning and the potato was baked with only butter as a topping. The butter was exceptional!

The service was passable, but not great. There was a loudmouth at the bar who was a bit encouraged by the bartender who kept "debating" with him... probably fun for the loudmouth, but horrible for us.

We had 2 prime ribs, one potato, one broccoli and a $37 bottle of wine for $200 w/tip.

Review 13 for Gallagher's Steak House

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"We arrived at the restaurant per the recommendation of this website to find it relatively empty, with no musical entertainment, as jazz was advertized. It had been discontinued. The prices were far too high. There was a huge freezer display case of steaks at the entry that looked artificial. The place was very outdated. We refused to stay and went next door to a very nice cuban restaurant with good food, musical entertainment, and reasonable prices."

"Service was poor and impersonal. Server couln't wait to get away from the table before we had finished placing our order and actually got called back 3 times. The staff interacted as little as possible, with the exception of the cloakroom lady.
Food was dry and luke warm. Not a very pleasant experience!

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"If I'm being honest, my Gallagher's experience wasn't as great as the previous time i'd been there. The service was mediocre at best. Upon being seated we weren't asked about drinks and suddenly the waiter was asking about the meal. I asked for a wine list to start and he seemed taken aback at that. Seriously, come on. My friend and I were each given ONE piece of bread (chosen by the waiter and who knows how he made his decision). I had the rib-eye and actually had to pick up the salt shaker, which I NEVER do. That was not a good sign for me. At $43, I was expecting much more. Sides were sauteed mushrooms and creamed spinach. The mushrooms were good, but cold. Spinach was the best part of the whole meal. I was really disappointed."

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"If you are looking for a phenomenal steak, Gallagher's is the best. Even though it was pricey, the food was very good. However, I am a person that enjoys atmosphere just as much, especially if the restaurant is expensive. The environment is very old school and the wait staff spoke very little english and were not knowledgeable of the types of liquor drinks we were interested in. Also, the wine was not very good. It felt like we stepped into some strange older gentlemen's club that hadn't seen a good spring cleaning in the last 20 years."

"My wife had a filet Mignon and I had the NY Sirloin. Both steaks were terrible. The salad string beans and potatoes were outstanding. I would NEVER go their again. I thought this was a high end steak house. No Way does it compare to Sparks, Morton's, Smith and Wollensky. Ruth Chris is much much better. A friend warned e of this and I said he must have just had a bad night because it is well known and been around forever. As much as I wanted him to be wrong he was not."

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"I have visited Gallaghers in the past and was always pleased. I dont know what has happened but our visit was absolutely terrible. We had three Filets and a NY Strip, the NY Strip was like shoe leather and two of the Filets were just as bad. One of the side dishes was equally bad. If I wasnt under a time constraint I would have sent them back. I probably will not return especially for a $400 bill for a bad meal. Back to Ben Benson's for me."

Review 37 for Gallagher's Steak House

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We had a very pleasant experience at Gallaghers for lunch. The bartenders were very accomdating, made good drinks and served their delicious chips. Our hamburgers were big and delicious, but I can't say the same for the Philly cheesesteak. Steak was in chunks and chewy, not a Philly cheesesteak!! Staff was friendly and service was excellent. Overall, it was a good choice to eat at Gallagher's. Would go again"

"The wide open dining room ambience is more consistent with a beer hall type set up and is best described as somewhat rustic. The Prices are very high but the quality of the food is outstanding. Seafood appetizers were fresh and presentation was excellent. Steaks and side orders were terrific. Great place to celebrate that special occasion with a couple of friends."

"I have eaten at Gallagher's perhaps 5-7 times in the last 15 years while visiting New York and have always had great meals. This was by far the worst meal I've ever had there. My steak had lots of gristle and was undercooked; my friend's prime rib was overdone. Neither piece of meat had very good flavor and the service was mediocre, despite the restaurant not being busy that evening. With as many great steakhouses as there are in New York, I don't plan to come back to Gallaghers."

"I went to Gallagher's with 3 friends to celeb rate my 50th Biirthday and I could not be more impressed with the food, the service and the ambience. From the time we walked through the door until we left to go see West Side Story 2 hours later, we were treated like kings. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and when 3 of us ordered potatoes he suggested we order another vegetable because the portions are large. And he was so right! And it was less expensive than I thought and was very happy with my overall experience there! Thanks!"

"Overall this is a good place to eat primary meat. Their meat age process is quite interesting. Overall taste very good for meat eaters. We were there on the 25th of December. Unfortunaltely very disorganize to check in for your reservation. Extremely rude hostess. Nice attire but just plain rude. Place seems to be known by celebrities or at least they have all kinds of pictures of famous people but the place was quite modest. I think they could improve the look by simply upgrading their tables. You know what they said, first impression is the most important."

"I have been enjoying their steaks for 30 years. The lobster bisque and crabcake were excellent starters. I had the sirloin this time, very favorful, perfect at medium-rare; but it would have been rated not tender enough by my lady - it was fine for me, and such flavor on the bone! Her halibut was superb. I was so happy to see they give equal quality and attention to guests not ordering beef."

"We were somewhat disappointed w/our first dining experience in the renowned Gallagher's. For the dollar amount, we expected more and Gallagher's did not deliver. Steaks were good, but not great, esp. w/regard to the temperature at which they were served: tepid, not piping hot. And at over $40.00 per steak, one should receive their food hot instead of barely lukewarm. The baked potato was, in fact, piping hot and at $8.00 a pop, this is the way it should have been!!! We dine often in NYC and are not particularly high-maintenance types, but when spending over $200.00 for two people at dinner, we should get our money's worth. Most likely we won't be back and are not very inclined to recommend you. You can do better!!!! Sign us, DISAPPOINTED!"

"Three years ago I visited Gallagher's in Las Vegas and had such a good experience that I went back a couple of days later when it was just as good. So, I was really looking forward to eating at the "original" on my recent (New Year 2010) trip to NY. Sadly I was very disapointed. This was an average restaurant and I certainly would not bother visiting again. Nothing wrong in particular and I accept that my disapointment was partly due to my high expectations following the Vegas experience but this was distinctly average. With far more restaurants and diners than there are eating opportunities on the typical trip this just wouldn't make the cut in future. Sorry!"

"good food but overly expensive for what we got. Everything worked pretty well - service was good/ accommodating; food (steaks / chicken) was good but not exceptional. We did have to request soup and side dishes be rewarmed as they were delivered either cold or luke-warm. Ambiance was not special.
I visited this restaurant 2 years ago and had a wonderful lunch there. This time it was an early dinner for 4 before a show. The expensive of the food (no desserts) plus several drinks was expensive , even for NYC. The expense did not justify the expense.

"We were so disappointed after theatre. We had a reservation, the host didn't care because they weren't busy...we were barely greeted. Clearly it was late but they were still open, 10 minutes early for our reservation, and should have at least pretended that they were glad customers were there. The food was mediocre at best. The has browns were burned and by the time we could get a waiter's attention, it didn't matter. My daughter had 1 Diet Coke that was gone before our order was taken. She asked twice for another and never got one. The atmosphere is really good though, you cannot deny it. We had a wonderful time with other patrons seated closely. 2 people over $100 for not good food or service. We didn't go back and won't."

"compare to last time(2008),we were extremely disapointed....
no hello,no welcoming while we were queueing...our reservation n0 not taken into consideration.
barman very arrogant in the beginning but quite ok after a while...
the waiter was in a hurry as if he had to catch the last train!....ok we are french and our english not so good!but still.....no patience to explain anything...
the food overpriced....overcooked meat(sirloin),and quite hard too with nerves inside...
no seasonning on the potatoes....over cooked onion rings as well....
nobody said good bye ...thank you when we left...
was it because it was new year,s eve?
too bad for us....

"Food was great. Ambiance was great. Had a New York feel to it. But only one of four at our table ordered drinks, so the waiter decided to ignore us most of the meal. I don't know if it's because the tip would be smaller without drinks, but we noticed the other tables he was serving received much more attention than us."

Review 76 for Gallagher's Steak House

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"Classic steakhouse so we all (5) ordered steaks - great disapointment. 4 Filet mignons cooked medium and the outsides were so charred you had to cut it off to eat the meat. Potatoes Lyonnaise also so overcooked that the onions on the outside were black - not brown carmelized yummy - black.
We were going to a show so did not want the hassle of returning the items. So we paid the $379.44 plus tip and vowed we would not be returning. Thought next time we would not eat in the theater district but a friend said Pietro's, Patsy's, Daniela or Lasagna are in the same area and excellent.

"The food was very good. That being said, the service was scattered and not attentive at all. We paid well over $200 for food for four - no alcohol and no dessert. For those prices I expect better service - even in New York City."

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"Food was the worse.

DO NOT order the fish. Fowl, smells and prepared dry with no flavor and/or taste.

They cheat when ordering cocktails. I ordered a "Vodka Sour on the Rocks" and they gave me a "Beefeater Sour on the Rocks" and charged me for the "Beefeater" prices as compared to bar vodka prices.

Don't bother to go, you'll be disappointed. Go for a few extra $$$ and go to Ben Bensons, 100% better New York Steakhouse.

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"Our overall visit to Gallagher's was pleasant. The waiters and table staff were attentive and personable, more that we could say for the maitre’d. He was sour pussed and unfriendlgy giving an aire of annoyance.

The restaurant was crowded, but not overly noisy, a nice hum to the room. Our meal was "good", but having everything al la carte was expensive. My lambchops were excellent.
Overall, it was a nice experience, but not one we will do again.

"One of our favorite spots in the City. I brought my father 77 and my uncle 70 and it was their first time. What a wonderful delight to see their faces. My future son-in-law joined us and it was his first time too. This is my daughter's favorite restaurant. A friendly host and coat check woman - it was terrible weather, we were soaked and early by at least an hour and no problem. We were well taken care of. The food was exceptional and a great value for such quality. We will be back again!! and thank you for making our Christmas holiday dinner a wonderful experience."

"It was a special mother/daughter night for me and my mom, and the server was very attentive and did a great job. Food was excellent and I loved the energy in the restaurant for Christmas Day. Prices were resonable for New York and the portion sizes were very generous. Ordered the Surf and Turf and it was fantastic. It was the perfect location for dinner with the theater right across the street. We were able to take our time and walk right over and see the show."

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"A big, soggy ribeye. A thick veal chop that tasted charred. Edible, but unexciting mushrooms. A screwdriver that tasted like both the orange juice and the Grey Goose had been watered. All for "only" $240.00! Run to McDonald's! P.S. My companion enjoyed her baked potato. The room was old rather than classic. We didn't stay for dessert."

Review 86 for Gallagher's Steak House

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Considering some of the recent OpenTable reviews about dis-interetsed and deficient service our experience at Gallagher's was totally positive. We were slightly late for our reservation on Xmas nite due to traffic-weather yet were immediately seated by the matre'd. The wait staff was very attentive (my water glass was NEVER empty). My end cut prime rib was exactly what it should hvae been & my wife's rib eye was succulent. The wine was moderately priced and the coffee was tasty and hot. The only blemish to our dining experience was the live music which would have been appropriate at a jazz bar. Their volume made after dinner conversation difficult even though we were at least 20 feet from where they were playing. We had a great Xmas meal."

"Awful Place!!!! 1) The service is really slow, 45 minutes waiting for our food. 2)The Gallagher's reserve wine was bad, hot and bad served. 3) My Steak was impossible to cut (14 oz, and I could only eat 3oz) and tasteless . 4) Nobody cares if your dinning is fine 5) The special potatoes could be used as a hammer 6) The onion rings were burnt. This is a rip off, I`m a tourist but I`m not stupid. Besides, I gave no tip and the waiter also started to discuss with me. IF SOMEONE READ THIS, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO EAT, TAKE PICTURES IF YOU WANT, BUT GO SOMEWHERE ELSE."

"It was an awesome experience! A steak-lover's heaven! I had been to the Gallagher's in Las Vegas and loved the steak there and wanted to try "the mother ship" of Gallagher's - so I visited NY City. It did not disappoint! The steak was out-of-this-world! And this Gallagher's (NYC) is much more relaxed and friendly than the one in Vegas. I loved the entire experience and will make it one of my must-visit sites whenever am in NYC!"

"I have dined at Gallagher's in Las Vegas several times and have always had a fantastic meal, with good friendly staff in a perfect venue.
The restaurant in New York was somewhat dissapointing for me I have stated the reasons below:-
1. Too noisy (reminded me of school canteen).
2. Quality of Food not as good as Vegas and also more expensive.
3. Staff not very friendly or talkative - I think this was due to the amount of people
being served,it was more like a production line.
4. I would probably think twice before visiting the New York restaurant again as I
wouldn't want to take the risk of spending a large sum of money for the type of
service I had on last visit. (It was a 40th Birthday treat for my Wife).

"The service and steaks were awful. The kitchen burned my steak and undercooked my wife's. They reheated my wife's steak and when they did they chared her steak as well.

The service was terrible. Water glasses empty most of the meal, waiters rushed, they were not even interetsted on feedback on the meal.

The experience was a disappointment. My wife and I were looking forward to Gallager's, but found it to be the worst part of our New York trip.

"I did like the behaviour of the first waiter who took the orders to drink. Infact, we ordered draught bieers and when we asked for water he said that they only serve water in bottles. Therefore we were obliged to oredr two bottles of water. But at the end of the dinner we noted other tables with "regular glass of water" and the worse thing was that they charged more than $7 per bottle. ... No comment. For this reason, notwithstanding the fact that the food was excellent, we deciced to change restaurant for the following day."

"The food was fantastic however the service was terrible. The waiter, hostess, and coat check woman were down right rude.The woman in the coat check actually had the nerve to ask for a tip. If it was not for the 20% gratuity the server received right off the bat he would not have not gotten a tip at all."

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"The signature sirloin was flavorless - aside from the beautiful hickory wood char from a most impressive grill. As for meat texture - it was grainy and dry (we had rare as you dare to medium on the table), as for color it was store bought red (far from a 21 day aged, I do better in my fridge at home in a weeks time),as for flavor it was flat. The meat "displayed" in the old locker looked perfect but the product wasn't.
We had 5 sirloins, 1 ribeye and 1 filet and no one was impressed. And the ceasar salad was disappointing. The lobster bisque was outstanding and so were the desserts.

"Excellent food and service. My daughter and I have made it a tradition to dine at Gallagher's during the holiday season for fourteen years now. The steaks were perfectly prepared and we think the cheesecake is the best in the city. This is a festive and lively place to enjoy the greatest steak in the world!"

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"We chose the restaurant because it was close to where we were staying. My assumption is it gets a lot of business due to that. It is right near Time Square very close to all of the major hotels.Overall, it was a decent experience. However, the table we were given was in a corner and was tilted very badly on one side. Seems like an "upscale" steakhouse in New York could spend a few bucks to take care of something like that.The service was "competent." Our waiter was prompt and courteous but had very little personality. He recommended the ribeye over their signature steak (NY Strip) and the ribeye was pretty good. But, certainly not the best I have ever had.For the price, I would recommend Ruth Chris instead."

"Easily the most enjoyable dining experience I've had in NYC. The portions were plenty and extremely pleasing to the palet. The service was outstanding. It was as if there were assistants for the waiters assigned to table sections whose only function was to ensure the table was kept clutter free and managed. We will definitely be dining there again."

"Although the steaks were good, the food was not worth the price paid. The restaurant is a bit over rated. We were seated right next to the bar so it did not make for a quiet relaxing dinner like we had planned. The steaks (filet mignon and sirloin) were good but I have had much better in the past and paid less. The side dishes were very "ordinary""

"Brought the family for Thanksgiving dinner and we were not impressed. We had to keep asking for water refills. The waiters were filling the bread baskets by hand nearby - they did not use tongs or plastic gloves. This is against health regulations - especially with the swine flue going around! Every side dish was individually(over)priced. Overall the meal was okay but way overpriced for a turkey dinner and a tiny piece of pie. Corn chowder was actually vegetable soup with corn thrown in - not even close to corn chowder. I was a bit embarrassed since I picked out the place to eat with my family."

"Where do I begin? Our waiter and bus boy had a loud fight in the dining room. When we complained to an assistant manager, he walked away without saying anything. When the dishes from our first course were still there long after we had finished eating, my husband bussed the table himself (several staff members watched him and did nothing) and then asked to speak to the manager. The manager agreed that it was bad form for the staff to fight among themselves on the dining room floor, and then proceeded to have a heated discussion with the waiter and bus boy a few feet from our table. We ended up leaving half a bottle of good wine because we just wanted to GET OUT OF THERE. Bottom line: there are lots of good steakhouses; go somewhere else!"

"We were seated in a waiters service area (very busy) between the main dining area and the bar area. The three of us ordered steaks (2 filets and a new york strip-the house specialty). They were cooked properly on the inside (med-rare), but one side of every steak was charred (burnt). We've dined at some of the country's finest steak houses and have never been served a burnt steak. Maybe we were there on a bad night, but it was Saturday night."
