My first time at this restaurant was just okay. I just had lunch there and it was bad. I ordered a bacon cheese burger, medium rare. My wife ordered the same thing. Hers came out plain, so they took the plate and added the bacon and cheese. Mine was like a charcoal briquet. It was bone dryyyyy. Service was slow and it wasn't crowded. For a steakhouse, it's very casual, which I like. read more

Stopped in since we were in the area and saw they were open for lunch. I wanted to eat a steak so my iron levels would be good to donate blood afterwards. The steak was a perfectly cooked medium rare, charred, and the salt content was perfect with an awesome tasty slight crunch. We had a side of tasty broccoli to accompany the meal. It was so good, no broccoli spear was left behind. Normally, we don't eat bread (oh too good) but felt I had to, in order to fill up and not get weak for the blood donation. My husband had the burger. We forgot to ask for cheese, but it was also perfectly cooked. We ate at the bar and had the privilege of seeing Pat G sitting there as well. They had a pretty busy but quiet lunch crowd. read more

I had a birthday brunch at Gallagher's Grill today and enjoyed the experience. There is an excellent lunch special menu and I had the broiled catfish meunière, which was prepared in the traditional style and was quite good. Sides of potato salad and green beans were also good, as was my accompanying Caesar salad. Service was friendly and efficient, with decor and ambiance being tasteful and understated. Although mid week, the restaurant was packed, undoubtedly attesting to Gallagher's popularity in the area, but resulting in an extremely loud and lively dining experience. read more

So we had reservations for a later time but they seated us even arriving an hour early. I have heard so much about this place and the "melt in your mouth steaks" I had to try it and we had saved up some money to give it a try. I will say our server Jenny was top notch and amazing! She was there to wait on us but not overbearing allowing us to spend quality time at the table while enjoying the wine and food. We ordered a bottle of King Estate Pinot and it was amazing and then ordered the BBQ Short Ribs - WOW make me a tray of those and I that is all I will need! We also ordered a Rib Eye (Medium) and a Cowboy Steak (Ribeye with bone in - Medium) and some side (Spinach Dip, Baked Potato and Bacon Brussels Sprouts). The Short Ribs were so good and my expecting was up for the rest of the meal on this first visit, the steaks come out on a hot sizzling plate and that is a fun experience but then from there to be honest the meal fell flat for both myself and my wife. The sides did not taste as good as the menu worded them to be as I didn't really get the bacon in the Brussels. The Cowboy steak failed to render the fat in the steak and I ended up cutting off a lot of inedible fat and grizzle and for a $53.00 steak "al la carte" I did not expect this. My wife and I switched plates and I tried her $38.00 Ribeye and it was dry (cooked medium, but lacked moisture). Based upon service I would return but I think I would order 24 plates of those short ribs. read more

Food was exceptional! Everything tasted fresh and came out super quick. We had Pompano with crab meat (which was especially fresh and light). Crab claws, Beet Salad and Merliton dressing. Great desserts too - our table ordered coffee, the Key Lime pie and of course they have the best white chocolate bread pudding (caution: huge portion)! read more

I doubted the food at first since I'm a picky eater.. but this food is awesome. I got the stuffed chicken which was stuffed with cheese. It was delicious. I got a baked Mac n cheese on the side which was so good. Also the setting is very nice. There is subtle music that fills the silence. read more

I took my husband here for his birthday dinner and we enjoyed the food and our server, along with a couple of young workers that bussed our table. The restaurant was clean and had a warm feel. We were greeted when we arrived and was seated quickly. I actually made reservations on Open Table and requested a seat on the bar side of the restaurant and we were seated as my request. Our server, Brett (I think he said Brett or it could have been Brent) was very friendly and attentive. Great customer service skills. He was funny as well. We enjoyed his presence. The food was excellent! We had the trio appetizer, the veal chop, the lamb chops, the Brussel sprouts and the sweet potatoes. Everything was prepared to perfection! The meats were tender and seasoned perfectly. The bread was good and warm also. The server gave my husband a birthday dessert which was nice. They do have credit vs cash payments so if you want the lesser price, bring cash read more

Highly Recommend! Great atmosphere, excellent food and very attentive service. The soft-shell crab over pasta was amazing. Seared tuna was delicious, and the bone-on filet was beautiful. Parking can be difficult, but everything else is wonderful. read more

First - the best turtle soup - anywhere. And Gallagher's always makes you feel like their only guest. The food is perfect - drinks, amazing - and the menu is varied, with many creative and richly prepared choices. 10 out of 10. read more

This is my first time in Covington. I am a foodie and always knew LA had some great food. Today confirmed that i have been missing out for 45 years. I ordered the Redfish Couvillion. This is a cajan inspired dish with blackened redfish, shrimp and crawfish over creole tomato sauce rice. I loved it!! I also had the turtle soup which was fantastic!! read more

Got the steak very very good. The next time I go want to try something else but that steak is great.

Had a truly wonderful meal. Wedge salad, filet, mirliton casserole were divine. All around restaurant for the $$ anywhere.

Very disappointing experience at this restaurant. My husband and I always look forward to a fantastic meal at Pat Gallagher's 527 in Mandeville so we expected no less here. My favorite entree is the soft shell crab. For $45 I was served a very small soggy crab covered in angel hair pasta. The shrimp in the stuffed mirliton was overcooked and rubbery. The service was also very mediocre considering it was a Tuesday evening. Guess we'll stick with 527. read more

Food 4/5 stars. Only problem my steak was a tad over cooked. Ambiance 5/5. Cool place. Service 5/5. Always checking up on us if we needed any thing. Over all 5/5 stars. read more

Staff was super friendly and very knowledgable about local fare. The blackened Redfish Couvillon was simply amazing with the perfect amount of spice, and the fish itself was tender yet firm, undeniably fresh. I got the Macque Choux side and it was genuinely one of the best corn dishes I've ever had. It was buttery and sweet! This place is well worth the trip over the Causeway. read more

Going to a Pat Gallagher's restaurant. It's always a wonderful experience. I've grown up and lived in this area all of my life, and every time we go to a Gallagher's dining establishment we have had superb experiences. Definitely hard to decide between amazing fresh fish or scrumptious steak selections! Good luck trying to pick only 1-2 sides, too! During this trip, I tried a cup of the shrimp étouffée, which was perfectly spiced, and so fragrant! I could've ate a bowl for dinner for sure! If you're looking for a special experience, in a nice, low-key setting, this is your place. On the west side, I personally prefer the Covington location over the Mandeville locations (been to all on both sides of the parish). I recommend reservations, which you can do thru Open Table. Enjoy! read more

It's fantastic. Everything I had there was great. The hospitality is great too. The wine is outstanding.

We started with the Gulf Oysters Brochette (wish I had taken a picture) they were mehh not a fan the sauce was also just really weird. Should have just gone with the safe choice of the Oysters Pablo next time we know though. For entrees I got the Pompano I believe and he got the ribeye with the bernaise sauce he didn't like the sauce and said was made wrong lol he's a harsh critic though. The Brussels were mid however we are Brussel sprout connoisseurs lol. He had been before and knew the key lime pie was a must and I'll agree it was amazing, however I got the baileys cheesecake and it was so delicious! I also had 4 of the blueberry cosmos such a good cocktail! Waitress was nice and sweet, did however take a minute to greet us and had to ask flag her down a couple times we dined fairly early at 5:30pm and it was very dead not busy at all but other that that had a great experience. read more

I've been hesitant in writing this review since we have eaten at all of Pat G's establishments for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience or meal. Thursday night, we decided to dine at the location in Covington. We started out by ordering the house salads with dressing on the side. When the salads arrived, both were covered in blue cheese dressing. For our main entree, I ordered the sashimi tuna and requested it to be cooked medium with the soy reduction sauce on the side and my husband ordered the salmon with pasta. When my meal arrived, the tuna was prepared rare and smothered in a sauce which was barely edible. I ended up eating a few bites and requested a to go box. The manager did stop by our table and inquired how our meal was. I reluctantly told him that my tuna was not cooked medium and the sauce was not put on the side as I requested. He did offer to comp my meal but we refused. Needless to say, we will not be dining at this location in the future. read more

Food is so consistently good with high quality ingredients , great staff and good selection.

I ordered the 11 oz filet medium rare and it was well done. We ordered 3 appetizers. Our entrees came out and no appetizers. They didn't even know our appetizers hadn't been served. Then they didn't know who's food was for who. It was totally chaotic. They comped us for the appetizers and sent us home with them but who wants calamari after it's been cold. It was a disaster and we won't return. I advise others not to go to this restaurant. With those prices it's not worth it. And they removed the Surf and Turf from the menu also. So too bad for Gallagher's. Shame. read more

Best steaks on the Northshore (and maybe anywhere)! Great staff ...also Best Burgers with crispy bacon!

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on July 19th we had the most delicious dinner. Our server Megan made our night extra special she was attentive and very professional. We would definitely ask to be seated in her section on our next visit. Thank you again for a wonderful night. read more

If I was contemplating my last meal before facing the executioner I'd choose Gallagher's Redfish Couvillion hands down. I went back a second time and it was just as good if not better. Best meal I've ever had. The only negative is don't sit in the bar area . It's loud as hell. Distracting. Get in the main dining area. read more

The steaks are consistently great! My opinion is if you order a steak well done or even medium and then complain about the steak being too dry should not be ordering steak!! read more

AMAZING food! Not overly expensive. Great date. Great service and lovely people! Will come back! read more

First of all, the service was wonderful! Timed to perfection, attentive but not aggressive. And since we were celebrating our 55th anniversary we were given a complimentary dessert. The food itself was excellent. My wife had ribeye steak, done exactly as ordered. I had flounder with a side of turtle soup. We shared creamy broccoli that was simply divine. Ambience? Not so much, mainly due to neighbors. Oh well. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Favorite local restaurant for a steak. Everything I've had here is good. Great service and perfect spot for a nice lunch or dinner.

Normally we like this restaurant but the last couple of times we've been there the food has been marginal. Today we ordered steak and each got a salad. Our granddaughter asked for fries as an appetizer and she also ordered steak. Our salads and steaks plus the fries all came out at one time. The Caesar salad was nothing more than wilted lettuces with too much dressing. The fries were cold and one of the steaks over cooked. We didn't get refills of iced tea or water and when I asked if it's the normal practice for salad to come at same time as main meal I was told that that's just the way it is... I've never had salad cone out at same time as main meal. The entire experience was lackluster and our server was inattentive and not at all apologetic. I do not recommend going here for lunch. read more

Great food and great service. Take a pocket full of money cause you gonna pay for everything! Would I go back, probably not as high as it was. Dropped $150 for me and my date without any alcohol. One and done, but if you got plenty of cash...you will enjoy it!! read more

Two words... Da Best! Been going to Gallagher's for 10 years since we moved to the North Shore. Guys... Your Gals will love the food here and they will be impressed by the atmosphere. Simple but elegant and the service is impeccable. Mr. Pat usually frequents all of his venues but this one (my opinion) is his crown jewel. Don't expect any chain restaurant foodies. Expect the best to be the norm. Cheers! read more

Food is good Bar staff and wait staff are good Hosts at front desk on the other hand would not let us sit at the bar stating we needed a reservation at the bar (we arrived at 5 p.m. and there was no one at bar), we used to eat here (and Pat's other locations) at least twice a week, haven't been back in 3 months. read more

Didn't meet the expectations of the buildup. The food was good, but not worth the price. I didn't think it was anything special. The service was good and we were seated right away. Our table was too close to the couple next to us. There was no such thing as a private conversation and now I know far too much about the couple next to us. Overall, a bit of a letdown. read more

Came here for my Anniversary dinner. Made reservations at 7pm. Ordered the eggplant appetizer. It was good..needed a little seasoning..cracked black pepper. I ordered the petit steak medium. My husband ordered the fried redfish. It came out fresh and hot. My husband ordered to be potato soup before hand...it never showed up...we ordered the potatoes au gratin. It was good, but the potatoes could have been cooked more.. everything was good. It was super busy. read more
