Iconic steakhouse, classic cuts, dry-aged beef, raw bar




























"You might think that an old-timey steakhouse smack in the middle ofTimes Squarecouldn’t possibly be good, but Gallaghers is one of our favorite places to eat a slab of beef with a side of creamed spinach in the middle of NYC. Your experience starts the moment you walk up to the restaurant, since you can see into the meat locker from the sidewalk. Some kind of witchcraft happens in that meat locker, but the experience goes beyond the steak—the highly refined waiter schtick is half the fun." - Team Infatuation
"You might think that an old-timey steakhouse smack in the middle of Times Square couldn’t possibly be fun or charming, but Gallaghers is both. We recommend ordering steakhouse classics: Start with a round of Hemingway daiquiris with clams casino and a wedge salad, then move on to a porterhouse with your favorite sides. (We love the creamed spinach.) The servers are like affable grandparents, cracking jokes as they make the sensible recommendation that you enjoy yourself as much as possible." - bryan kim, kenny yang, will hartman
"Steakhouse burgers are a genre onto themselves, partly because the burgers — which sometimes seem like a budget afterthought compared to the steaks — are often made from fatty steak trimmings, making them juicier than most. The burger is one of the thickest and richest in town, so good you might hesitate to add cheese on top. Did you know: The restaurant was founded as a speakeasy in 1927." - Robert Sietsema

"From the moment you glimpse the dry-aging room through the front window at Gallaghers to the time you walk out lugging a heavy bag of leftovers, you’re going to be very happy. We recommend ordering classics at this old-timey steakhouse: Start with a round of Hemingway daiquiris with a wedge salad, then move on to a porterhouse with some creamed spinach. The New York-style cheesecake is about as real as it gets." - bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
"The Prohibition-era steakhouse continues to serve solid classic cocktails alongside some serious cuts of meats grilled over hickory. Start off with the bacon-studded clams casino, then pair a funky dry-aged rib-eye with fries and a blue cheese wedge salad, or one of their excellent hamburgers made with dry aged beef. Those who seek the prime rib roast should call ahead as it is not offered every night. Finish with Key lime pie — and expect a serious crowd." - Robert Sietsema
