    It was very fun, very loud, very delicious. The flavor and potlrtions of the food was divine and really made my m-i-l's birthday dinner a success! Too bad it was the last time that restaurants were open, but now we have the carefree memories forever.

    The truffle fries were the best I've had, and the burgers are some of the best in Boston.

    Sazerac cocktail had no Pernod or absinthe wash. The poutine had little to no cheese curds or gravy. The fried pickles which had a decent flavor were limp not crisp. Total disappointment, a fellow foodie friend had recommended this restaurant. Too bad it fell flat.

    We had the chicken and pancakes, the chicken had a great batter that was the perfect crunch. However the chicken it’s self was bland and the pancakes were flat.

    Bad fat food, I am sorry to say that. Reminded me some old sticky pub in Allston area. Invited friends from Providence for brunch and I was embarrassed for making this choice

    The Gallows is an awesome place for a delicious dinner and fantastic creative drinks. We went for a post-valentine's day dinner and it was fun and romantic. It is always energetic and feels like the place to be. We were able to sit and take our time and never felt rushed. It was a fantastic night with fantastic food.
