Gallagher’s

If I could give a negative rating I would. We periodically revisit this place since it is close to home and convenient, but that won’t happen again. We were there Saturday at 7ish and sat at the bar-​bartender Josh was OK. The issue I had was the patron in the bar, a lady with short red hair with a older gentleman with a cowboy hat. This «lady» was so drunk she could barely walk, and every word out of her mouth was a swear word and she was screaming F*** you Josh! Sh*t! F*ck! Apparently her words were not working for her this evening. She was CLEARLY over served, and should have been escorted outside and into a cab. She loudly refused to pay her tab, and was a general embarrassment to all. The food was average-​my medium burger was rare, hubby med-​rare was well done. If you go, sit at the bar for service-​but look out for sloppy drunks and make sure you cut your burger in half before you take a bite. This place also put an OLIVE in a lemon martini-​so you can kinda see what you are working with. The manager also sat and bad mouthed patrons with Josh AT THE BAR while we sat there. I am so disappointed.

Our food and service was fine except… I am allergic to garlic. The waitress has served me many times in the past and did write on the order «no garlic». The grilled fish was served and tasted very garlicly but when asked, she assured me it was indicated, perhaps there was garlic on the grill.
After getting sick on the way home I called and spoke with the manager, she said she’d look into it but no offer to call me back, invite me back, take my name… nothing. I said to her that if someone has a food allergy they need to be consciencous in their preparation.

Just left restaurant without eating. Waitress ignored my mother and I. Apparently you don’t serve elderly patrons. Will never go again.

It appears I’m the last person in north Phoenix & cave creek to know about happy hour here in middle of day on Saturday! $ 6.00 appetizers! I ordered honey BBQ wings baked then grilled. They were delicious. Ask for extra crispy as well as that’s my favorite! Huge screens everywhere and comfortable seating.

Waiter tried, but service was 1hr til we got food, Luke warm. Half completed order (no sauces with food). Bills were all messed up n we stood at counter 25 minutes to pay. Asked for manager… Don’t have one. Joke!

Okay. I’ve stuck by this restaurant through all the bad customer service, even gave them a good review, and have continued ordering food repeatedly. But seriously, enough is enough! I’ve ordered take-​out from this place no less than five times. Every single time, there has been something wrong with my order: no bread, wrong dressing, missing ingredients, etc. This last time, I ordered the filet salad with asparagus, and there was no asparagus on the salad. Okay, I decided. That’s it. I called and complained. The woman I spoke to informed me that asparagus was out of season and that’s why! First of all, this was late march – prime asparagus time. Secondly, you don’t just leave ingredients off a dish without informing your customers. She tells me a manager will be in a couple of days later to address my concerns.
In their defense, a manager actually did contact me. I decide I won’t obliterate them on Unilocal.Then she tells me the same thing as the other woman. «Asparagus is out of season. That’s why.» Again, LIES ALL LIES! Late March to Mid April IS ASPARAGUS SEASON! It’s like 2 cents a pound right now at every grocery store, but at Gallagher’s, it’s out of season! Ridiculous!
I think I’ll use Gallagers’s logic and open a restaurant. I will offer a wonderful prime New York Steak plate with a baked potato and broccoli for only $ 19.95. Only when you get your dish, all that will be on there is a plain potato. Because, duh! Prime New Yorks are out of season. And Broccoli is out of season, too. And so is butter and sour cream. Here’s your plain potato. That will be $ 19.95.
I told the manager I should at least get a refund for the asparagus since it was advertised as a salad with asparagus and there was no freaking asparagus! She says she’ll leave me a gift card at the restaurant. Fine. I decide once more I won’t obliterate them on Unilocal.
Except I get to the restaurant and the gift card is for $ 5! Not even enough to order a cheap dish there! And to top it off! They don’t give me the bread for my salad lol!
Sorry, Gallagher’s, but you’ve lost a loyal customer with your horrid service and complete chintzyness. I’m done with you! Good riddance! Buh-​bye!

I have to say this place is so much fun. We did part of Pinnacle on Thursday and worked up quite an appetite for food and more adventure.
We go here often as they have everything we need:
A fun atmosphere, friendly servers who know what they are doing (we have a few favorites), a good variety of food (veggie option), online trivia, sports on the many TV’s throughout, patio, OTB, full bar, and a vending machine that dispenses little bouncy balls. What more can you ask for?
One more thing it seems. It just so happens on last Thursday, and possibly every Thursday they have live trivia, like as in run by a real life person who repeats the question (thank you :)) — it started at 7:30pm I think — double check that. I didn’t know this in advance so it was a happy surprise and so entertaining. They give the winner a gift — I think that’s pretty cool. The winner wasn’t me BTW, not by a long shot but it was a good time.
Are there times they are busy and you have to wait for a seat or you have to ask for something twice? Probably. Nothing I can think of off hand but it happens to the best of us. Back in the day I served beer and bread so I know how demanding the job is. It’s where we go to have a good time and I hope you do too!

Food was absolutely horible, they can’t even get french fries right after sending them back. The attitude of the staff was horrible nasty. They had a blond womes walking around asking how everything was every five seconds. She should have been in the kitchen making sure the food was edible. I will never go here again and i suggest you stay away.

Terrible service! Consistently slow and rude. It’s a shame because it is one of the only places in the area open late on weekdays, but would rather make the drive to desert ridge for better service and food!

This place sucked 5 years ago. Food is much better. I was sitting next to a couple watching NFL. They agreed it has improved significantly i recommend it now

Came in at 2 PM for late lunch — place wasn’t busy at all. Looked around and the bowl game I wanted to watch wasn’t on so I asked the server if they could change the channel. She said she would ask the manager — she asked him 3 times over the course of 45 minutes and he never came over to our table. We watched him talk to his regulars and avoid us — maybe he was too incompetent to change the channel so he was embarrassed? Our server did a great job — very attentive and made sure our orders were correct. But this manager should realize if he wants to build his client base he should attempt to make an effort.

Went for happy hour and shrimp taco Tuesday. The tacos were very tasty and a great value for $ 1.75. Also had the boneless wings and sloppy nachos. Both were very flavorful. Overall, the food service and value make this a four star stop. We will definitely go back in the future.

The Arizona Cowgirls had their Christmas luncheon there Wed December 2^nd and Amy and her staff Jessica and Michael did a awesome job waiting on 40 of us. Thank you

Man cave sportsbar. Menu mainly sandwiches, salads, wings and pizza. There were 18 TVs in the room where I had lunch. Food is lacking, service is really bad. There were only 4 tables with people eating. I waited 10 minutes for a waiter to show up and was not given a menu. Other couples waited more than ten minutes to receive a check. I guess it’s a great place to hang out for guys to watch games and snack.

Some times they don’t notice your even there because you seat yourself but the food is good especially the build your own burger

Horrible horrible service. We got there about 10:15 to get a cookie dessert. You seat yourself so we picked the one booth that wasn’t covered in dirty dishes, napkins, food, etc. There were maybe 5 other tables of people in the whole restaurant yet it took the waiter a solid 15 mins to say anything even after making eye contact twice with us. After we ordered we waited 25 mins before our cookie was brought out. It was totally burnt and black and tasted horrible. We politely asked for another that was not burnt and the waiter took it back. Waited another 20 mins with no service, meanwhile a group of 8 had already gotten all of there food and finished by the time we got fed up and just walked out. It should never take over an hour to get a cookie dessert and some decent service. Will never go here again.

My husband and I go here when we don’t want to eat in Cave Creek and don’t feel like driving very far. We usually go in the middle of the day and for the past couple years our server/​bartender has really taken care of us. She is always attentive and friendly, I think her name is Adriene.
They have a good beer selection and price point, the food is kind of lacking but what do you really expect in a sports bar?

This place has made some positive changes. The food and drink choices are good and the wings are a super plus with a decent blue cheese burger even I would come back for. Mm. Lots of tv sports going on and the service is good. Did I say that already. And a cool water fountain on the patio. Music at the right volume to chat.

My favorite boneless wings in the valley with the Bourbon Glaze of course. They used to have awesome shoestring fries but now they are just the thick steak ones … that makes me sad. Oh well, now i just get the wings and a salad. The turkey melt is awesome as well. Fun to go for happy hour now and again…
Not impressed with the burgers — as long as I stick to my favorites, they keep their four stars … otherwise would probably drop to 3.

While we were entertained by reading some of the other write ups. We cannot say anything bad about our experience today. The server (Adriene) has been with the company for 18 years, 8 at this location and I asked her what changed. She said that she does the day shift but knows issues exist in all restaurants up in this area. The issue is well known and attributed to their location. Only a few restaurants up here and exceedingly hard to staff adequately. There are not a lot of workers up here so the management does expedite in evenings and weekends (stay in the kitchen making sure food gets out quickly). With the intention to minimize problems. I have been here once before in the evening and the service was sparse at best. I’ll need to give it another try and see how things are.
Our food was prompt and delicious. Absolutely nothing to complain about but nothing ultra stellar either promoting a 5^th star.
