Gallaghers Steakhouse

Gallaghers est le steakhouse de référence New Yorkais. La viande est remarquable, les prix sont effarants… Deux deceptions ce soir: notre choix de Prime Rib n’était pas disponible. Pourtant nous étions venus pour ça, et il était seulement 20h. Ensuite, la superbe pomme de terre au four, à 9 $ tout de même, n’est servie qu’avec du beurre. Pas de sour cream, bacon, etc. C’est un peu court pour le prix. Donc, ma recommendation, c’est de trouver une adresse alternative au meilleur rapport qualité prix.

Un restaurant incontournable de New York.
Tout d’abord avec la présentation de leurs viandes en vitrine, une idée originale qui est assez plaisante lorsque nous rentrons dans ce steakhouse.
Une carte alléchante malgré un prix assez élevé. Diverses viandes nous sont proposées, heureusement un serveur parlant français nous explique ces différents plats. Nous partons pour un T born viande américaine incontournable accompagnée d’haricots. Une cuisson parfaite, la viande était tendre et délicieuse.
Une adresse que je vous recommande et vous conseille de réserver à l’avance!

Came here for RW2016. Got a corner booth seat. It was wonderful
Starter:
Caesar Salad: Light and refreshing. Nothing too out of the ordinary
Beefsteak Tomatoes and Onion: Thought it was going to be a thin slice beef dish w/​tomato. however it is just 2 really thick slice of tomatoes. However… it was very refreshing. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe and sweet with balsamic vinaigrette dressing which I choice
Entrée:
Lamb chops: It comes with creamy spinach and mashed potatoes. Those were amazing. The lamb chops were also perfectly cooked in medium rare. Well worth the $ 5 supplement
10 oz Filet: I sub the side with the asparagus with onion and tomatoes bc I already had the spinach and mashed potatoes from the other dish. The filet is over charred on the outside and very burnt. The steak sauce is very strong and taste like spaghetti sauce.
Dessert:
Ice cream + Sorbet. The vanilla ice cream was very creamy and sweet. Lemon sorbet was super sour. Raspberry sorbet was great.
Like the other reviews I had maybe 3 different servers coming by and disappearing. The dessert took about 15 minutes to come out even though it is just scooping ice cream… the server seemed annoyed that I asked for the dessert after he passed by to pour water and dropped one of the plate
Overall one of my fav restaurant week menu/​food so far

Went here last in August for my girlfriends bday after seeing wicked on Broadway. Walk in and you automatically feel the ambiance. Dark wood, rustic furniture and the first thing you see is the steak reserve. Service was great, steak even better. Cooked to perfection and their steak-​sauce is off the chain. Sides of green beans and mashed potatoes were delicious and in huge portions. 100% would recommend

This review is for Restaurant Week 2016 only.
Firstly we had 3 different people serving us so I didn’t quite know who to talk to. We were also given just one RW Menu between two while other tables got one each, strange.
I ordered the Caesar Salad, Sliced Filet, and Cheesecake. Normally I don’t get an app or dessert but might as well here.
The salad was ok, maybe too much dressing.
The steak came out under cooked so we sent it back, both of us got the same. When it came back one was over cooked and one hadn’t seen much heat at all. It was also under seasoned. I didn’t like it.
The dessert was pretty good though, but then again how can anyone mess up sugar!
In short, I would probably give the RW menu a miss. Lucky for me the bill wasn’t that much!

As I travel to NYC on a regular basis, I have walked by Gallaghers hundreds of times but have never gone in. After one visit, I am hooked. I had the best lamb chops I have ever had anywhere! My picky friend had the shrimp scampi and she raved that it was one of the best she has ever had. We ordered sweet mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, key lime pie, several rounds of drinks and a fabulous glass of Markus Molitor wine and the bill was less than $ 200. Considering the caliber of the meal and old school service by Nick, our waiter, I think we got quite a deal!
The only problem is that we couldn’t finish all the food as the portions were very generous. First class all around!

I came here with a friend during restaurant week to find out I missed the lunch by 10 minutes. Since I was already seated, I decided to stay and have dinner. We both tried the New York sirloin and we ordered a side of creamed Spinach.
The sides are served family style for two to four people. The bread was unlimited. The steak was so juicy and cooked to perfection. The flavors of the dry aged technique and the hickory coal really does make a huge difference. If you like steak and are a foodie Connoisseur, come here and enjoy a good steak.

I had the prime rib (medium rare) and while it was very good — there was just seemed to be way too much fat on my cut. I definitely expect fat in the cut, but there was an awful lot to cut off. I do consider myself a bit of a prime rib connoisseur and this was the fattiest prime rib I’ve ever had. I don’t mean the fat that is marbled in the meat. I’m talking about the fat on the trim. That being said, I still enjoyed it very much, though. It was tender and delicious. The filet mignon that my friend had (medium) was very good as well. We had for sides — baked potato, hash browns, and broccoli. All were excellent but I notice the hash browns were far more well done than I usually notice from other steakhouses. Good if you like a crunchy hash brown.
The atmosphere was similar to other major steakhouses I’ve been too — bustling when it’s busy. You never go to a steakhouse and expect a quiet moment. Like most places, the seating is close enough that if you would likely need to move your table to get in or get up.
Overall, I had a very positive experience.

We work across the street and breeze by this place every day. For a few months we thought it was an Irish pub, when you walk by quickly it doesn’t scream «steakhouse» — we stand corrected. This place is so fun. We wandered in on Tuesday and Thursday of this week and everything was exactly what we needed after a long work day. Great bartenders and bar area service. Those hand-​cut potato chips are to die. We ordered jumbo shrimp cocktail, chopped steak, and tuna tartare. The apps are on point so I can’t wait to have dinner here.

So glad we randomly, last minute decided to go here; for Gallaghers sure provided a great dining experience for us :)
As said, we came here last minute on a complete whim, after aimlessly trying to make late dinner reservations at other locations that of course come to find out, were completely booked (our fault for not booking earlier) when I remembered this place that was close to our hotel. We came in, the place was packed, however we manged to get a seat fairly quick :)
We ended up getting a great table for 3. Service was phenomenally prompt and professional from the moment we were seated. The menu is exquisitely, mouth watering appealing — everything sounded good!
For starters, we ordered drinks. I ordered a glass of red wine. My brother in law and his fiancé, ordered some type of cocktails that I cannot recall. For food, considering it was a steak house and that the only steak I really eat is Rib Eye, I ordered their Rib Eye — a 22 ounce Rib Eye! I know, they unfortunately did not have a smaller size, so I was stuck with the 22 ounce and I really wanted steak. I also requested it be cooked medium rare. Fellow companions ordered filet mignon, as well as as a side of broccoli and maybe something else.
French Onion soup arrived first, looking sinfully delicious — and devilishly delicious it was! Hands down, probably the best French Onion soup I have ever had — and filling! Main entrees then later arrived, looking succulently appealing, while not to mention, incredibly generous in portion! They didn’t joke about that steak being a 22 ounce, hot damn. I could only eat a little less then half of the steak, but it truly was outstandingly delicious — juicy, seasoned to perfection, and cooked to a medium rare delectable-​ness. I of course took the rest to take back to my husband in the hotel room that did not join us due to the fact that he was a little tired and worn out from the long day.
Overall, outstandingly prompt, professional service. Great, classic steakhouse environment and some exceptionally delicious food (pricey) but well worth it. Also, keep in mind most of their entrees and sides, are enough to share for two — so with that, all the more worth the steeper prices :)

Gallaghers steakhouse was great! We were a party of three, so they gave us a really nice table at the end of the couch. Although the restaurant was really busy, the environment was really pleasant and relaxing once we sat down.
Our server, Nick, recommended the filet mignon so we got two orders of that and one of the lamb chops, and a side of Creamed Spinach. We also got a half bottle of wine from their wine list which had a lot of variety on the full bottles, but less variety on the half bottles.
Our food was really good, the service was amazing, and at the end we asked if we could keep the little folder the receipt came in as a souvenir. At that point, Nick brought us a couple more receipt folders as well as matches so we could each have our own souvenir, which was really nice of him.
I really enjoyed both the food and the experience at Gallaghers, and I definitely plan on visiting again next time I’m in NYC.

Gallaghers Steak House, I have been wanting to come here since I saw the meat hanging in the fridge from the front window in the late 1980’s. Without a doubt an experience not to be missed. The décor is exquisite elegant old school steakhouse. The food and drinks are out of this world. Started with amazing oysters wedge of lettuce bacon blu cheese for entrée’s my wife had the Filet and I had the Rib Eye with sides of creamed spinach and creamy sweet potato unreal. The Old Fashioned cocktail was super. You must try this place and the service was second to none HIGHLY RECOMENDED

Sometimes the primal carnivore takes a hold of me, and there is nothing like a great steak to satiate such an innate instinct. Gallagher’s is a very old steak house in Manhattan with a lot of tradition, and the reviews looked great, so I went there for dinner with a couple of colleagues to see if it could quench my carnivorous urges.
You know you are walking into a place that takes pride in their steaks when they gladly display the source of the steaks to you. Gallagher’s has a meat locker right up front full of the most beautiful cuts of meat. Seeing this got me more excited about my impending dinner, as I could see that the bar for quality was super high.
After deliberating over a number of delicious sounding options, we decided to start with the Baked Clams Oreganata appetizer. I also decided to get a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. The clams were served baked on the half shell in an Oreganata style, meaning they had a oregano breadcrumb topping that gave them a bit of an Italian feel. The clams themselves were tender yet firm, and the topping made for a delicious start to the meal. The Bisque was extremely creamy and über flavorful. Each spoonful was very robust tasting, with a very nice blend of seasonings, and the lobster in the soup was very tender and delicious, culminating in an amazing bowl of soup.
Gallagher’s is a steak house, and my inner carnivore was ready to take hold, so I absolutely had to order a steak. I wanted a big steak, and they certainly had many to choose from! After a lot of back and forth with myself, including asking the waiter many questions, I decided to go with the Veal Porterhouse, medium rare. We also ordered Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus to share as sides since they were a la carte. The steak was massive, and the hickory log grilled taste came out very nicely. The steak was very juicy and full of flavor, and it was prepared perfectly medium rare, with each bite melting in my mouth. The asparagus was served as jumbo spears (my preferred way of having asparagus), and they were prepared with a nice seasoning and had perfect firmness. The Brussel Sprouts were also quite delicious, and the entire meal was completely delightful.
I was pretty full already, but the dessert menu looked amazing. Normally a key lime pie on any dessert menu would be an automatic for me, but the Blueberry Upside Down Cake caught my eye, so I went with it instead. Though I cannot comment on the key lime pie, I was not disappointed with my choice. The cake itself was delicious, the blueberry glaze had a nice sweet flavor and complemented the cake perfectly, and the topping of vanilla ice cream made the entire thing completely decadent.
The waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful with all the menu questions we had. The atmosphere was really neat, as it had an old timey classy feel but with a modern updating. All the food that came out was prepared very well and was delicious. The food was pricey, but not as high as similar places I have been to in NYC, so though being expensive the overall value was still very good. The entire dining experience was very satisfying, from the satiated taste buds, to the full stomachs, to the enjoyable atmosphere. Gallagher’s is definitely more of a special occasion type of place, but it comes highly recommended, particularly for when you have those deep carnivorous urges.

Over promised and under delivered. We were looking forward to this restaurant all week and planned to order the prime rib. There are a lot of good things about this restaurant such as the ambiance and the see through meat cooler at the entrance but their service is questionable.
We told our waitress we came here for the prime rib and she said she had to go check if there were any left. She said there were only 3 and she reserved two for us. We said jokingly that it was a Christmas Miracle. After our appetizers (20 — 25 minutes) she came over and apologized that the manager made a mistake and gave the 3 remaining prime ribs to another table. I’ve worked in restaurants and I understand mistakes happen and I’ve made many myself. However, she glossed over it like it was no big deal. The manager never came over to explain or apologize. He should do that just to make his waitress look better and help her tip.
We ordered the next closest cut similar to the prime rib and it was average. My wife’s cut was huge and it would’ve been good to know it was huge before ordering it. It was something Fred Flinstone would’ve ordered. If a woman is going to order that cut they should be forewarned. It was enough for two or three people.
The recommended lobster/​shrimp app lacked flavor and was too salty. The pea soup was average. The mushroom sauce that goes on top of the filet mignon was very good and the meat was ok.
In the end it was just about the lack of caring. It had little to do with the quality of food. It was the fact that if you disappoint a customer, act like you care and do something about it. It shows lack of professionalism and I don’t blame the waitress as much as the ownership. I’m actually embarrassed for them.

The best overall dining experience I have ever had in NYC. Finally a restaurant that manages to successfully combine excellent service, great food, good drinks and a wonderful atmosphere in a convenient location in the theater district. I ordered an old fashion at the bar and it was easily the best made old fashion I’ve ever had. Then the service level at the table was just top notch. Tsang and Peter co-​waited on us and made a formidable tandem. Enjoyed the French onion soup, bone in ribeye and sautéed spinach. Topping it all off was a world class cheesecake. What else could you ask for in NYC?

Great steakhouse experience! Service was impeccable and very pleasant! Cool and impressive meat locker in the front!
Started out with a special shrimp and lobster dumplings which were yummy. My hubby had salmon tartare which he really enjoyed. I had the stuffed shrimp as me entrée and they were the best I’ve ever had, my hubby had the filet which he said was amazing. Sides were delicious too creamed spinach and Mac and cheese! A great restaurant option in the midtown area!

An amazing steakhouse one of my favorites in the city definetly check it out,

I was so excited to finally try that place «with all the steak in the window.». Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great experience.
We started with a dozen oysters, not so great. We had half east coast, half west. The east were smaller than I expected and lacking that awesome oyster brightness I expected. The west were pitiful, tiny and tasteless. Not the $ 32 dozen I was expecting. I wonder if it being a Monday night they were leftovers from the weekend.
Next we had the wedge salad, which couldn’t be worse. Browned lettuce, tiny bits of bacon, almost none really. And served with a dressing that destroyed the richness the wedge should be. Gallagher’s should make a trip to Morton’s and try a real wedge salad. Since it was the second salad we were served already (the waiters brought the wrong salad first), we just didn’t have the patience to send it back.
We split the 16oz. NY Strip, medium rare. I was told it’s one of three steaks that gets dry aged in the window. I was expecting at least some aged taste, but I got none. The steak was cooked perfectly, looked awesome (check out the picture), but lacked seasoning and taste. Overall very disappointing. Our side was Lyonaise potatoes, which are a dish I get frequently at other steakhouses. This was the worst I’ve ever had. Dried up potatoes, some hard and crispy, onions undercooked, lack of seasoning, lack of flavor. No decadence that you normally get from either lard or bacon grease in the potatoes.
Key lime pie was actually the bright spot. Great crust, nice lime tartness, layer of crème on top.
It was a Monday night and the place was packed. I guess some people do enjoy Gallagher’s. I won’t be coming back.

Already in 2011, we got the referral: If you´re in Manhattan, you have to go to Gallagher´s!
We did — and it was amazing.
This year in October we did it again — and we still love it!
Particularly spectacular: The big room for the dry aging beef, located facing the street. Lots of people out on the street stand still for taking pictures because it´s so impressing to see all those accurately divided cattle. You can see how they run the mouth water.
One thing is really important to know: Never go there without a reservation! And NEVER do this on a weekend (Friday included)!!! One can book conveniently online via open table and it works perfect. If you don´t you´ll maybe have to wait for more than an hour for your party for two… So we were this time but we could stay at the bar for having some beers.
In Gallagher’s expects international and wonderfully mixed clientele: rich French tourists who want to run the first fur mid-​October, cool natives, completely relaxed in blue jeans, Tees and sneaker, ordering a 200 bucks dinner. Everybody can be as he wants to be — I like that!
And like everywhere else in New York you get equal with the locals very easy.
We got one of those high tables opposite the bar, left hand from the entrance.
I love the big and neat damask napkins (my fetish) and first of all we had delicious fresh bread and e yummy spread.
Ou waiter this night was Adam and he was PERFECT!
Friendly, courteous, not pushy, funny and enjoyable motivated. We chose a New York Strip, without bone and not sliced, with french fries (no sweet potatoe fries available) and green asparagus. Accompanied by an ice cold Bud — GREAT!
I shall be brief:
French fries: Perfect!
The steak: Perfect!
The asparagus: Perfect!
The beer: Perfect!
After dinner suddenly they served a pretty big fruit platter: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple and cantaloupe — everything!
that was on the house because of the fac, that we had o wait so long for our table. Remember: We hadn´t any reservation! That was so cute!!!
Adam was very kind and gave me some more tips for nice lunch locations in Brooklyn and Harlem.
Yes, you´ll spend lots of bucks at Gallagher´s but it´s not expensive. The steaks are incredible, the ambiance is fantastic and every night that we spend there is one of those, to which we so like to remind us.
CU Adam!

The meat in the window made me run in here thinking everything must taste like butter… but maybe my taste buds are ridiculously spoiled but I was ever so slightly disappointed.
We ordered: veal porterhouse, filet mignon 14 oz., ½ dozen oysters, side of mushrooms, side of Mac and cheese, glass of Cab, and a glass of draft beer (dinner for two… we had left overs since we ordered way too much).
The half dozen oysters are 3 west coast and 3 east coast. I normally prefer west coast but the ones served here we’re ridiculously tiny… tiny as in nearly invisible to the eye and wondered if the oyster fell off during it’s trip to our table.
Filet mignon was a bit dry. It wasn’t my order but when I tasted it although cooked medium and not medium rare it was a bit dry. The veal porterhouse was cooked properly as medium rare but there was no taste. I thought it mentioned their meats were cooked over firewood but I tasted no other flavors and it tasted a bit bland.
The most surprising was the steaks were served on cold plates. I thought the norm was for steaks to be served on warm plates… but then I could be wrong.
I have had some incredible steaks in Chicago and Los Angeles and perhaps my expectation was too high. After reading more reviews wished I ordered the bone in sirloin or at least the porterhouse instead.

Definitely a meat destination.
We chose to celebrate our engagement here and it was a great choice.
we definitely felt like «royal guests» here.
There is an indescribable NY, old school hospitality at this place.
It is an authentic steak house that will «meat» your expectations ;) (see what i did there?)
the menu is a la carte… so don’t ask «what does that steak come with?»
you will be paying for everything separately… i can guarantee that.
the wine was pretty pricey, as was the meal, but worth it.
if you are looking to splurge, i would say it is worth trying for a special occasion.
Great location (right by times square) and it wasn’t too full either. plenty of seating for dinner, but I can see this place getting pretty full on a Saturday so perhaps a reservation is a good idea.
must try: The French Onion Soup.
sooo good.
as for wine, i would say skip it and have a glass at a nearby bar if you are not looking to spend a fortune.

Eines der besten Steaks ever! Das Gallaghers ist fantastisch. Man kommt durch ein alte Drehtür in einen Raum und auf der kompletten rechten Seite sieht man nur FLEISCH in den verschiedensten Reifegraden. Für Vegetarier glaub ich eine Art VorHölle :P
Innen gibt es einen sehr großen Barbereich dahinter ist das Restaurant. Alles in dunklem Holz, man kann sich richtig vorstellen, dass hier in den 30er Jahren die Mafia Bosse getafelt haben, grandiose Atmosphäre. Der Service und dass Essen sind phantastisch, jeder Wunsch wird einem von den Augen abgelesen, ohne aufdringlich zu wirken. Wir waren zu viert und haben richtig viel Geld bezahlt, aber auch einen unvergesslichen Abend verlebt. Wer sich etwas besonders gönnen möchte und auf Fleisch steht, sollte unbedingt hier vorbei schauen, allerdings würde ich eine Tischreservierung empfehlen

Really wanted to love this place, but it fell short of my expectations. Short review: great service, beautiful restaurant, but the steak entrée was disappointing. (Would be less of an issue if this weren’t a steakhouse…)
Came here for restaurant week during lunch. The restaurant was relatively empty so we enjoyed a great table and privacy.
The meal started off great. The bread basket here is amazing (so many types of bread)! And, the dry-​aged meatball burger sliders were amazing. So flavorful and juicy. If this were an indication of the rest of the meal this restaurant could have easily gotten at least 4 – 5 stars from me.
However, the entrée was sorely disappointing. We ordered the filet mignon brochette with chimichurri. To quote my friend: «this is the hardest thing I’ve chewed on in awhile.» The steak was incredibly hard to chew so I just ended up eating the copious amount of vegetables and salad that came with the dish. Did I order a steak or a salad? Not quite sure of the answer myself.
The dessert was good, but standard. I probably could have purchased a cheesecake from the store and enjoyed it just as much.
I have to say 5 stars for service and interior though. Our servers were super friendly and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. You know a restaurant is classy when they offer hand towels in the bathroom instead of paper towels. Would recommend the restaurant for these aspects, but don’t get the chimichurri steak!

J’avais réservé via la restaurant week puis via open table pour un dîner sans prêter trop d’attention et le menu restaurant week n’était disponible que pour le déjeuner. Bön. Quand même envie de tester cette steackhouse a la deco appétissante donc je reste. Endroit hyper guindé et service exécrable pour ma part, très condescendant même! En revanche la viande était excellente. Les onion rings un peu moins. Compter $ 150 a 2 avec un dessert partagé un plat de viande chacun et un unique verre de vin pour Lui!

Muy bueno la sopa excelente la carne en su punto buena selección de vinos me gusto full
