So the whole reason we went to New York City was to celebrated a milestone birthday, and I knew that I wanted to eat a steak from an old-school steakhouse. After checking out a few options, we finally settled on Gallaghers. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As soon as we were shown to our cozy booth, I knew that we'd made the right decision. The place has that comfy, classic atmosphere we were both craving, and it's a vibe that was certainly echoed in the friendly, way above-average service. We decided to start with an order of the Baked Clams Casino, and they were honestly phenomenal. It's not a dish I'd ever had before, but now it's easily one of my favorites. For my main, I opted for the Bone-In New York Sirloin Sliced, with Broccoli Rabe and Crispy Charred Brussels Sprouts on the side. The steak more than lived up to my very high expectations. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and there wasn't a bad bite to be had. Honestly, I'll be thinking about this steak for a long, long time. (The sides were both top-notch, too.) For dessert, we got the Pecan Pie ("Vanilla Ice Cream") and it was the one miss for me. It was well prepared but the ratio of pecans to filling was off. I like a lot of gooey filling in my pecan pie, and this just didn't have that going for it. We were surprised with a birthday cake, however, and it was really good. It was a lava chocolate cake and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Gallaghers is a really special place. It's not difficult to see why it's endured over the years. I can't wait to go back. read more

Hello Yelpers, Jen & I just got back from New York and several other locations, Sleepy Hollow, Niagara Falls, Boston & Canada , it was a fun 7-days but glad to be back home, we tried many locations for dinner but this one I had to do a review, our son & daughter in law surprised us with this dinner as Jen & I celebrated our 41 year anniversary, the restaurant was Very nicely done in side, as you first walk in you can see the cooler were they age all there beef, we had a reservation ( beside to make a reservation as it fills up quickly ) we were seated in a reasonable time, the service is top notch as you will have two waiters assisted to your table, we decided to split out protein 4 ways as you'll see why, I forgot to photograph two side dishes one being a sweet potato hash, and MacCheese , Everything Was incredible, two small pieces left of the steak as we all were so stuffed. The Ambiance & decor are pretty nice as I walked around to check it out. I'm sure there are other locations but if in NY stop by and have dinner. read more

I would definitely recommend Gallaghers Steakhouse. This place has so much history, and we had a great experience from beginning to end. The steak was amazing, and all of the sides tasted fresh and were very well prepared. The drinks were also well made, and the desserts were honestly some of the best I tasted during my trip to New York City. Service was excellent and attentive throughout our meal. Gallaghers is located near Times Square, but don't let the location fool you, this is a legitimate classic New York steakhouse with great food and a lot of character. If you're visiting Manhattan and looking for a traditional, old-school NYC steakhouse experience, I would highly recommend Gallaghers. If you're looking for something trendy or ultra-modern, this probably isn't the place but that's exactly part of what makes Gallaghers special. Definitely a place I would return to on another trip to NYC. read more

We had a great experience!! Everything was wonderful, from the food to the service and overall atmosphere. The steaks were delicious and everything we ordered was very well prepared. A special thank you to Philip and Armando, who were both amazing! They were attentive, friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their service really made our experience even better. We had such a nice time and would definitely come back. Highly recommend for a great steakhouse experience in NYC! read more

One thing we've learned in NYC is that no matter where you tell someone you're going, they'll immediately tell you there's a better place . But Gallagher's absolutely did not disappoint! The steaks were perfectly cooked, the service was fantastic, and we loved the old-school NYC steakhouse feel and atmosphere. It just felt like the kind of place you should go for a steak in New York. We went before a show and it was the perfect way to start the evening. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We'd definitely go back! read more

We had dinner at Gallaghers before attending a Broadway show and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is quintessential old-school New York steakhouse, and they execute it extremely well. White tablecloths, classic decor, and excellent service. The highlight for me was easily the prime rib. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, incredibly tender, and seasoned really well. Most importantly, it had great flavor throughout, which isn't always the case with prime rib. If you're looking for that classic NYC steakhouse experience and an incredible prime rib, I'd have absolutely no hesitation recommending Gallaghers. read more

We made a reservation so there was no issues getting seated. Their lunch deal makes it a very affordable steakhouse. Unfortunately, I wasn't hungry enough for 3 courses so I just got the prime rib sandwich which was still delicious! Fries were great and service was excellent. It was decently crowded given it was a Saturday but no problem getting the various waiters attention read more

Service was great and i got 3 lunch specials with the filet mignon, sliced filet, and the lamb chops! it looked amazing but did not live up the expectation. the steak was cooked well but the flavor was lacking and disappointing. the lamb chops were mediocre and came with a minty sauce whic was also shocking to me. i think the mint flavor is to counteract the gamey taste which i don't mind. The creamed spinach was delicious along with the onion rings. The manhattan clam chowder was new for me and was okay. read more

Came in here with high expectations and they were met! I highly encourage a reservation to be made, as they had a waitlist for walk-ins and the restaurant seemed super busy. Once we were sat, they gave us an overview of the menu, the highlights, and specials that weren't on the menu including Tomahawk steak, rock shrimp appetizer, side of corn and more. We opted for the 1/2 dozen oysters, Porterhouse for 2, and a side of spinach and roasted corn. Everything was exceptional and a good portion for 2 people. For dessert, we ordered their special, Tiramisu, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Since we were celebrating a special occasion, they gave us a lava cake on the house which made our night even more special. I would definitely come back here to try a new cut of steak and reorder some of their sides. read more

Great steakhouse with nice service and good food. Their meat room is the first thing you see when you walk in the door, which is the beef they age in-house before cooking into steak. I'm convinced this is the best restaurant week deal, and the food was amazing- from the complimentary bread service, to the perfectly cooked juicy steak, to the best key lime pie in the city! Would totally come here again, and I'm grateful for restaurant week to have introduced me to this spot! read more

One of the nicest meal experiences I've ever had and the vibe here is immaculate! Really feels like stepping back in time to classic NY in the best way! We ate here before a Broadway show and had amazing service and they paced our courses perfectly. Caesar salad was very fresh and a great appetizer to share! The mixed bread basket they bring out is also amazing and super fresh! The Filet Migone with the Au Puiore was great but super peppered on the outside! I think they may have gotten my partner and my steak temperatures mixed up but they were still delicious! It honestly would've been flavorful enough without the sauce or just with the house sauce they already bring! We had the crispy brussell sprouts as a side and they were to die for! read more

Gallaghers is known to be most reasonably priced steakhouse in the world. It's a classic nice restaurant with old black and white photos of famous people. You can even see their stock of meat behind the glass as you walk in. The sides and soup could be better. Steak is not bad. It's kind of like a fine dining experience where they take a small butter knife looking tool to scrape off your crumbs. No need to dress fancy. It's in the theatre district and the lunch prize fix menu is a good deal in NYC. read more

First time in New York, I wanted to take my mom to a special dinner before going to the theater, this was an amazing experience for the both of us! From the sidewalk, the dry aging room pulls you in, it is really a sight to see. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the host and taken to our table. John, one of our servers came and delivered water and our menus. The other waiter who served us (so sorry I forgot his name) was just as polite and delivered the bread basket. The breads were warm and all delicious! I ordered the Grilled salmon, green salad and asparagus. My mom got a 8oz fillet and green salad. (We should have shared the salad!) everything was amazing! Piping hot! Very flavorful! Unfortunately my mother likes her steak medium well but she said it was very tender even then. (It's an abomination, I know) If you are looking for a special night out, this is definitely the spot. We didn't do drinks but with what we had it was under 200. Not bad honestly, I was expecting and prepared to spend more. read more

I don't believe that there is or could ever be a "perfect" steak. That being said, tonight I may have had the closest thing to a perfect stake. I first thought, "this is really good". Then it got more delicious the more I ate. But the "pièce de résistance" occurred when my daughter, who doesn't like steak tasted a bite a said, "I never knew steak could taste like that ". The crab cake and stuffed shrimp were very good also but not quite as good as the steak. The ambiance of the whole vibe reminds me of an old movie, where important people from all walks of life go to have a good meal. Our servers where top notch also, If I had to nitpick, I would confess the Mac & Cheese was a little dry and lacked flavor. Also the fries were a little over done but I came for the stake and I left a happy man. read more

We had to change our reservation to an hour later the same day and they were very accommodating. When we walked int the hostess greeted us warmly and took us to our table. Our server quickly took our orders and kindly recommended a wine to go with our meal. We ordered creamed spinach, roasted Brussels sprouts, and mashed potatoes for our sides. The creamed spinach was good and the potatoes were all right but the brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious! They had a nice char without being burnt and the honey glaze was flavorful and not overly sweet. For our main we of course got New York sirloin and it was cooked to perfection. For dessert I got the key lime pie and as a native Floridian it left much to be desired. It was strangely very spice forward and the cream topping I could have done with out. Overall the meal was great and I'd definitely stop in again! read more

Had an exceptional experience at Gallagher's. Got lucky with a roomy spot at the bar and enjoyed a full dinner. I started with the Gorgonzola salad which was simple but perfect. Great vinaigrette dressing with healthy chunks of cheese. For the main intent with their signature Rib Steak and would say it is up there with the greats in the city. Perfectly cooked to medium rare with lots of earthy notes. I closed with the tiramisu which was large and tasty. A shout out to the bartender Stewart who was very friendly and made great recommendations. A top notch experience! read more

Valentine's dinner well done (or shall I say medium rare?)! We were seated promptly after coat check and started off with two delicious cocktails-- Sidecar and Ziegfeld Follies. For starters, we got the steak tartare and tuna poke. For main, we shared a porterhouse for two with a side of mac n cheese, followed by a decadent cheesecake. Steak tartare 4/5: creamy texture, smooth and paired with lightly toasted bread. I enjoyed each bite, savoring the hints of mustard and pickle. If you're a savory fan, you'll enjoy this. Spicy tuna poke 3/5: besides the wonton chips being delicious, the poke itself was ok. It was bland in flavor compared to the poke I usually eat on the west coast and found that the radish chunks were too big. The quality was fresh but I'd skip this next time. Porterhouse 5/5: we got a mixed cut of medium rare ribeye and filet mignon, which was such a splendid eat. The steak was cooked to perfection and came out on a hot plate. I liked that it wasn't salty at all and paired really nicely with their signature steak sauce (tomato based). It's a perfect portion for two people Mac n Cheese 4/5: nothing crazy but still delicious and classic. It's my go-to side dish for steak NY Cheesecake 5/5: i usually don't get cheesecake but this was great! Creamy smooth with a nice base. Imagine a soft graham cracker with a touch of cinnamon. It was paired with a decadent strawberry puree and overall not too sweet! read more

Came here for lunch yesterday with a last minute reservation made on the website. We were seated promptly and given menus right away. The place is beautiful, I love the ambiance and I love being able to see the cuts of meat from the window outside. I opted for the filet mignon from the lunch special menu, medium, while my fiancé got a NY sirloin, medium rare. However, we got a very bloody red filet mignon and a pinkish sirloin. Iykyk. The food was good and other than that mistake, I have nothing to say about it, delicious drinks, too. One of the best dirty martinis found in the city. HOWEVER. We sat down at 2:15, and got our food at 3:20. It took a long time both to order and to receive our dishes. I understand being busy but we left the restaurant at 4:35 read more

The food was good, but unfortunately, the service left us with a very disappointing experience. Our waiter, Phil, was incredibly rude. At one point, he actually shushed our table and put his finger in his ear to signal for us to be quiet. We were shocked by how disrespectful and unprofessional his behavior was. We were visiting NYC for a special weekend to find my wedding dress, and what should have been a memorable trip was overshadowed by this experience. We understand the importance of being respectful in a restaurant, but there is a difference between being mindful of others and being made to feel unwelcome by your own waiter. For a restaurant like Gallagher's, we expected a much higher standard of hospitality. The service made it difficult to enjoy the evening. read more

This steakhouse is 10/10. When you walk in you walk by the aging room so you know they are serious about their meat. They also have great seafood. The side dishes are large and delicious. This place is seriously busy but they manage the crowd and make everyone feel taken care of. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful, you end up with just what you were hoping for. The restaurant is almost 100 years old in the same place, the ambiance is clubby and comfortable. Very old school and wonderful. The last time I was here was 20 years ago and it was just like the last time. Incredible! read more

There are a lot of steakhouses in NY. They're all pretty good. For whatever reason I especially enjoyed this one. Ambiance is traditional steakhouse vibe but a little updated for today. Started with wedge salad, bf got a crab cake and we split a dry aged porterhouse, creamed spinach, onion rings. Steak was awesome, perfect mid-rare, and still warm. Gobbled it up - incredible steak. read more

Got the restaurant week menu: Manhattan clam chowder, sliced filet mignon and dessert for addition $4! The clam chowder was punchy and tangy. The filet mignon was soft and delicious although I wished for more, only 4 slices haha. The key lime pie was not my favorite, it was overly sweet. Service was attentive. The ambiance was sophisticated but not stuffy. Overall, this was a nice first experience at the steakhouse. read more

I would rate it 3.5 starts if I could. I thought it was good, not great, my lady hated it. It is historic and surely feels as much. Old-school vibe and service. Tried a chilled lobster appetizer that was very good but the porterhouse was not quite what you would expect from an established NYC steakhouse. Liked it more with the sauce, which is not a good thing. Still, if you want an old-fashioned steakhouse with real history, not a bad way to go. read more

Gallaghers Steakhouse opened in 1927 on 52nd Street as a Prohibition-era speakeasy. After Prohibition ended in 1933, it became Broadway's first steakhouse. We went for my birthday. Started with the French onion soup. Our waiter kindly split one order into two bowls. Main was the 28-day dry aged porterhouse for two plus the charred crispy Brussels sprouts on the side. We finished with cheesecake and chocolate fudge cake. One of the best steakhouses in NYC. Classic vibe that's cozy and upscale, like Polo Bar but with a steak focus. Service was attentive and respectful from all staff members. read more

My sister had been to this place once before, so we decided to come again on our last visit to New York. It was my first time. Service was good, a little bit slow. But that seemed to be the theme for this trip, lol. We ordered two steaks and I got the Ahi pepper steak. Everything was good! Since we were also celebrating my birthday, we ordered the Keylime pie. Which is my favorite. They also did bring out a little small something for my birthday. But they didn't offer that originally when we were deciding on dessert. Didn't really need both, but glad I got to try it. SYOY! read more

This place definitely wowed me. Open for 99 years, I'm impressed that the quality of the food and service hasn't deteriorated over time. I ordered the $34 lunch special with a Wedge Salad, Medium rare filet mignon, and Sorbet (Raspberry and Lemon). This special is honestly a steal. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection and was full of juicy flavor. The mushrooms it came with were also a hit for me. They weren't mushy, and actually provided an excellent texture comparison to the steak. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sorbet. The raspberry and lemon combo ended the meal on a slightly acidic note, which was excellent given that the meat was extremely rich. Also, I really need to call out the excellent service. The waiter brought out a platter of fruit with our dessert, because one of the items was just a little late to get on the table. Definitely would come back for both food and service! read more

Favorite steakhouse in NYC. I don't know where to start. The old school feel. The awesome service. The food. THAT steak sauce! Everything here is awesome. I make sure to make reservations every time I go as it does get packed. Coming here is always my favorite meal in the city. 3 of us came in on Monday night, my table all had filets, medium/medium rare and they were cooked perfect. Calamari to start. Mac and cheese, sautéed mushrooms and mashed potatoes as our sides - all delicious. And that steak sauce, I don't know what they put in it, but I need it bottled up and shipped to me! I'm not usually one to use sauce with my steaks, but that stuff is GOOD. I will eat every last drop. Thanks for another great dinner, til next time! read more

Food: My niece and I went to Gallagher's for lunch during the height of the NYC holiday season. Every table was booked so be sure to RSVP in advance! We both loved our $39 three course lunch meal: filet mignon, fingerling potatoes, in a mushroom in wine sauce. Plus Brussels sprouts to share. We both had the cesaer salad appetizer. I finished with the creamiest cheesecake ever and she had the creamiest/richest ice cream! The food was excellent and well priced. The most important thing, however, is that you definitely try the dense brown bread that is served before your meal. It is a date, walnut bread that will knock your socks off! Service: This first thing I noted was that our hostess pulled out our table when she brought us over. This was such a nice touch so you don't have to worry about squeezing in sideways while others are seated beside you. I also noted that my custom Gallagher's steak knife was warm. That was neat! We were tag teamed by two waiters. Harry was our main waiter and he was quite friendly and attentive, also doling out sightseeing recommendations. Our food was well timed and without delay. Gallagher's knows how to handle a full house. Ambience: Music was playing in the background and it wasn't too loud. I wish we had time peruse the old time pictures on the walls of famous actors and the like. We overheard a conversation at the table next to us and actors like George Clooney on Broadway frequent Gallagher's. And recently the three actors from the play, Art, were in: James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris, and Bobby Cannavale. So prepare to be star struck! read more

I had an amazing experience at Gallaghers last night! They truly live up to their name as the best steak in NYC. We ordered crab cakes as the starter appetizer and it was delicious. The filling was light and airy and I believe they used real crab for the filling! For the main course we tried the porterhouse and prime rib. I personally preferred the porterhouse more, especially the sirloin. The meat was juicy and tender and I have to say it was one of the best steak I have had. The prime rib was also very nicely done, even at medium it showed a little pink. The dessert we tried the baked Alaska. It was a spectacular fire show! read more

It had been a while since I went to a steakhouse before going to Gallagher's, and honestly it kinda reinforced what I thought. Perhaps it is hubris, but I feel like grilling a steak at home (reverse sear) is going to yield similar results to a steakhouse if you invest in the quality of the meat - probably because a $75 steak at a steakhouse is probably only $25? of actual steak, while cooking a $75 steak at home means you can get a much better cut. We ordered a filet mignon and a dry aged New York sirloin. I ordered my New York sirloin medium rare, but it came out pretty much medium well. It was a thick cut and wasn't cooked super evenly, so some bites came out very chewy, and the middle was medium at best. It feels like the steak was overcooked and too chewy, and some of the fat wasn't properly rendered. Also, the dry aged taste was too overpowering - I've had dry aged steaks before but this was on the stronger side of the nuttiness. Overall I came away thinking that I could really have cooked a better steak. The filet mignon was solid, but overall not super impressed by the spot. It probably didn't help that service was rushed and our seats were cramped. We had to move our tables any time our neighbors wanted to get out of their seats, and vice versa. Probably wouldn't come back, don't think it's worth it. read more
