Gallaghers is ranked No.73 on the World’s Best Steak Restaurants for 2025. The restaurant has been in operation since 1927 and serves steaks in a classic NYC setting with nice interior decor and great atmosphere as you would expect of a New York steakhouse (been to Keens previously during my last NYC visit). We ordered the Manhattan Clam Chowder, Tomahawk Steak for 2 and a Mac and Cheese side to go with the steak. Portions were huge, generous and stomach fulfilling for us. The steak was well cooked to a medium rare and it was juicy and delicious. We were served by Tim and John during our visit, and they were very friendly and attentive. Special shoutout to Tim, who was always with a smile and made sure that we were enjoying ourselves at the steakhouse. Keep up the good service and kindness! Gallaghers is definitely a steakhouse to visit in NYC in my books. However, if this was a 5*, Keens will be slightly higher in my books, like a 5.5*. Will recommend!

Gallagher’s absolutely delivered. From the moment you walk past the dry-aging room, you know you’re in the right place. The steaks are phenomenal—perfect char, incredible flavor, and cooked exactly right. The tomahawk was the standout, and the sides were just as solid. Service was smooth, the atmosphere felt classic New York in the best way, and everything came out hot and perfectly prepared. If you want a real steakhouse experience, Gallagher’s is the place. Worth every penny and a guaranteed return visit.

Had dinner at Gallagher’s Steakhouse with friends visiting from Hawaii, and it was a fantastic throwback Vegas experience. The restaurant has that old-school Rat Pack charm, and our server welcomed us quickly with great service. We started with shrimp scampi (a hit with the table) and a perfectly balanced wedge salad. The star of the night was the tomahawk steak — cooked beautifully, seasoned just right, and perfect for sharing. We finished with the warm toffee pudding topped with vanilla ice cream, the ideal way to end a steakhouse meal. Great food, classic atmosphere, and a memorable night all around. Gallagher’s is a solid choice for anyone craving a timeless Vegas steakhouse experience.

This is an outstanding restaurant and truly a special experience. The service is exceptional, warm, and attentive, making you feel taken care of throughout the meal. The smoked and grilled meats are of the highest quality — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with great skill and passion. Every dish felt unique and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top-level meat and an unforgettable dining experience.

I stopped in here for lunch with a friend on Saturday. We didn’t have reservations but luckily they had some availability. There is a small bar area in the middle of the restaurant & lots of booths along the walls. I started with the beef carpaccio & my friend went the French onion soup which he raved about. Louis & Armando were our servers & when I asked Armando if he would recommend the French dip sandwich or the lamb chops he recommended the ribeye instead. My friend liked the sound of that & that’s what both ended up ordering. The steak melted like butter in your mouth. We also shared a side order of Mac & cheese (it was that large). The house made steak sauce was excellent. It can be a bit pricey but they do offer a lunch prefix of three courses for $34. I can’t wait to go back.

There’s something magical about stepping through the doors of Gallagher’s on 52nd Street the faint smell of hickory smoke, the hum of old conversations, and the soft chill that rolls out from the glass meat locker where slabs of beef hang like trophies of time. The place smells of history, of Broadway’s golden age and late-night deals made over martinis and porterhouses. Tonight, Nannette and I came hungry and ready for a taste of that legend. I ordered the 52-day dry-aged steak, cooked with care over charcoal, the kind of cut that stops time when it hits the table seared to a perfect crust, tender inside, and carrying that deep, nutty perfume only aging can coax from beef. Nannette chose the filet mignon, velvety and delicate beside mine, a perfect contrast on the same table. We shared two of Gallagher’s signature sides: their creamed spinach, rich enough to make silence fall between bites, and garlic mashed potatoes, buttery, smooth, and perfect with each forkful of steak. For dessert, the pecan pie with ice cream, all made in-house warm, sweet, and finished with that crisp, caramelized bite that reminds you how simple perfection can be. The service was old-world attentive without ever feeling rushed the kind of professionalism you rarely see anymore. Every plate arrived hot, every detail right.

I’ve heard plenty about American steakhouse, this was a dream come true. The display is one of cuts of meats dry ageing. As a chef I was drooling at it. You can tell this place was going to be great. Our server Adam stirred up a conversation that made us comfortable. He explained the menu to perfection. I couldn’t decide between the lobster cocktail or the crab cake, Adam sent us the crab cake on the house. Steaks were delicious & cooked beautifully. Desserts we had to get the Key lime pie & Pecan pie. Overall a fantastic experience. A dream come true. Fantastic food & equally matched service.

We had a great experience at Gallagher’s Steakhouse. The coat check was an amazing touch and made arriving in the colder weather much more comfortable. Service was prompt as soon as we walked in, and the staff was welcoming and professional. The food was great and came out hot, which we really appreciated. Our servers were attentive, checked in at the right times, and made sure our needs were met throughout the meal. The only downside was that the tables were a bit too close together, which made the space feel slightly tight at times. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable dining experience, and we would definitely return

Atmosphere & Seating: I visited for a Friday lunch and was pleased to be seated right away. While we didn't have a reservation, we were able to grab two seats at the bar side. The ambiance was great—bustling but refined, making for a nice mid-day outing. ​Service: The service staff was exceptional. Our servers were very attentive and professional throughout the meal, clearing dishes promptly and checking in frequently. This was definitely a highlight of the experience. ​Food & Value: We opted for the \$34 per person Prefix Lunch offering excellent value for the location. ​The Manhattan Clam Chowder was a great start—well-seasoned and satisfying. ​However, the entrees were uneven. The salmon tasted underwhelming, lacking a distinct flavor profile. ​The filet mignon was served well-done and was acceptable, but nothing remarkable. ​The included dessert was also just so-so. ​Overall Impression: The price point is affordable, and the ambiance combined with the attentive, professional service makes this a strong contender for a casual business lunch or friendly get-together. However, if food quality is your absolute priority, I would likely try something else if I were to return. The value and service are the stars here, not the execution of the main courses.

★2 This review is about service, not food. From the start, the service was careless and unprofessional. Champagne was spilled significantly during the initial pour, with no proper acknowledgment. Later, while food was clearly still on the table, the server attempted to remove plates without asking. The tone used was condescending and made us feel as though we were at fault simply for continuing our meal. Throughout the evening, the level of attention we received was noticeably different from that given to nearby tables. Service felt selective rather than consistent across the dining room, with minimal engagement, little communication, and an overall lack of basic attentiveness. Dessert was ordered but did not arrive for an extended period. Only after we raised the issue with the manager did the situation change: the server was replaced, dessert finally arrived, and coffee was refreshed. This makes it clear that the issues were avoidable and related to how our table was initially handled. While the manager responded in a formal manner, the experience revealed a serious inconsistency in service standards. Respectful and attentive service should be the baseline for all guests, not something applied selectively.
