A word from Gallaghers Steakhouse
Founded by former Ziegfield girl Helen Gallagher and the colorful gambler and sports enthusiast Jack Solomon, Gallaghers opened as a speakeasy and steakhouse in 1927. At that time, the height of Prohibition, a good stiff drink and a great steak were hard to find in New York – except, of course, at… Gallaghers.

New Yorkers come for the world-class cocktails and incredible steak – prime beef dry-aged for 21 days in Gallaghers’ legendary windowed meat locker. The combination of all-natural dry aging and cooking it to perfection over hickory coals makes for a steak unlike any other found in New York.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "Came to Gallagher's for the steak and left very happy! Though just recently remodeled, the place exudes old-school charm and style, a very classic steakhouse (which was once a speakeasy). HUGE wine list, classic cocktail list. Waitstaff were awesome, not stuffy despite their suits & crumb-sweeping. Great location & food worthy of the expense. Note that the sides are portioned to share. I'd definitely go back."

  • "Took my wife here for her birthday before we caught a show. Food was fantastic...had the porterhouse for 2. She got a nice surprise with a birthday cake...and they now make their own pastries on the restaurant."

  • "Drinks are very expensive. Two drinks will equal price of your entree. (Alcoholic beverages) if you are looking for a quiet atmosphere don't go here. Very loud. Could not here each other talking across table. Steak was very good. Comparable to Ruth Chris. Service was fair. At one point we thought they forgot about us. Took twenty minutes to get are bar order delivered."

  • "Dined alone at the bar after a long day of meetings. Ted the bartender took excellent care of me. One of the managers came over for a brief conversation about the history of the restaurant (it's been around since 1920s and recently renovated). Friendly staff, excellent wine, delicious steak, updated decor while maintaining a classy old school feel. I will visit each month when I'm in New York."

  • "We missed this Steak house! They re-opened recently and they are better than ever. The prices are a little higher than a few years ago but that's to be expected. They tried to keep the ambiance the same and succeeded. It is newly updated, restored and well decorated.There were four different breads in the bread basket and it arrived right away. Crab cakes are very good and the steak is just about perfect, as it always was. Desserts are made there.The service was quite good, they were right there should you require anything. We will eat here again."

  • "We found this on Yelp.........was a bit nervous that the 86 year old retsaurant ha closed, then reopened. You never know what you will get. Let me tell you what you DO get. An exceptional dining experience with incredible food, sevice beyond compare and an a great overall experience! French onion soup......WOW. Best steaks we have had in NY. The ownership and management of this restaurant make sure you inow they appreciate you. We left that evening strategizing how we can work in a return visit before we leave NY. You will not be disappointed!"

  • "Every detail of the newly renovated space was impressive - comfy chairs and cozy banquettes, good lighting (not harsh, but sufficient to read the menu), classic flatware, crisp table linens. The space is surpassed by the professional attentiveness of the staff - available when needed but not hovering and intrusive. The martini was perfect - down to the retro chic glass. THEN, out came the steak - and everything disappeared in the sublime experience of the most impressive cut of meat I've had in years. Perfectly tender, delicately seasoned, slightly charred to seal in all the flavor and juices. Can't wait to go back. Go now before this place becomes difficult to get into!"

  • "we were from Ireland and Gallaghers came highly recommended, service was great and the atmosphere was also great. The steaks were first class . The only downside I found was the choice of starters, I struggled to choose one and it was not what I expected and I had to return it, waiters were very good and offered me another. All in all I would recommend this restaurant."

  • "The wait staff was excellent. Our waiter and server were never far away and were very attentive. The quality of the food from the appetizer, we had the crab cocktail, all lump crab meat served with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce with horseradish and Tabasco on the side. We also had the burrata and coal-fired peppers that was so creamy and excellent. The steak, we ordered the porterhouse for two, was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth like butter. We coupled our steak with sautéed broccoli and sautéed mushrooms to complete an excellent dinner."

  • "Staying at the Novotel, I was looking for a restaurant that would provide good food and atmosphere. After searching the Web i came across Gallaghers and looked at the menu etc... exactly what I was looking for, now to find out where it was in Manhatten.... Would you believe it, right next door to my hotel. The service was first class and as for the food... WOW!! Food portion sizes where out of this world, wished the hotel had been further to be able to walk it all off. The New York Steak was especially tasty. Overall a great evening, thank you!"

  • "The new and improved Gallaghers is a huge improvement. The look is sleek, open and light. We loved it. The food was terrific and the waitstaff could not have been more attentive and enthusiastic about the re-opening of this NYC Classic. It's great to have it back in the neighborhood. I'm looking forward to the opening for lunch service and brunch, which should be in the coming weeks."

  • "The renovations are finally complete--and the redesign of the restaurant is beautiful!! The interior has an updated look--very classy and sleek while maintaining the old-school charm of the original (yes, the classic horseshoe bar is still intact). The steak was superb and the sides were excellent. It is a bit pricey but worth it if you wish to splurge once in awhile. Tip: Order the NY Sirloin rare--I think this is their best steak and the charcoal grilling method they use is best when ordered rare."

  • "From beginning to end, starting with a warm greeting from the hostess, we were made to feel special by the entire restaurant staff. The hostess, waiter and even the restaurant manager were most solicitous without being obsequious. The food came extremely well prepared and well presented. It was a carnivores' delight."

  • "We were in NYC for just one evening and wanted a good seafood dinner. Although they are considered a Steak House, the seafood was very good. The grilled Shrimp was seasoned and cooked perfectly as was the sole. We were able to book a table 3 hours before arriving at 6:45. The restaurant was full when we left. John our waiter was very attentive and helpful with meal choices. We would highly recommend Gallaghers."

  • "Amazing food! Great service! Couldn't have asked for a better experience of dining while in NYC! We were greated with warm smiles and seated quickly, we did have reservations. Upon arriving our server asked if we were seeing a show, once we said yes he carefully paid attention to our time letting us completely relax over a two and half hour meal yet getting us out on time to catch the show! As always the food is fresh, flavorful and top notch! We had a wonderful experience and the next time we travel into the city Gallaghers will be our restaurant of choice!"

  • "The restaurant was impressive: beautiful and grand. Our wait staff were attentive and friendly: we felt welcomed. The food was delicious with great flavors. I recommend the amazing crab cakes and beet salad. The filet mignon with pepper crust and Makers Mark was fantastic. To finish off the delicious meal don't hesitate to order the Pistachio soufflé: one of the best. The sommelier was helpful and attentive with our many questions."

  • "Overall everything was good. Based on my last time there several years ago i expected great, not good. Everyone enjoyed thier meals. I had one issue, the steak i was first brought out must have been someone elses that wasn't taken by them. it was not "hot" and tasted like it had been sitting for 20 minutes. I sent it back (which is something I almost never do) and had a new one that was very good. I enjoy a good steakhouse, and even the much improved steak was not one of the best i have had (very good, not "great"). Service was good, but I expected better in a very expensive place like Gallaghers. Jeff"

  • "A nice steakhouse in the theater district -- it doesn't quite rival the best in town, but it's good, and I think slightly less expensive. Attractive restaurant, with interesting contrast between clubby front room and modernized back room. A little tight around entrance and bar as large pre-theater crowd wrapped up and exited; my recommendation is to show up after curtain."

  • "Had been to the old Gallagers several times. Was happy to see familiar but old wait staff and a great new decor. Food is always solid and the steaks are a fantastic cut of meat. Don't think there is better meat in the city for the price. Gallagers steaks are under salted and don't have a thick char. If you are OK with that you'll love your experience."
