Reviews for Gallagher's Grill in Covington, LA

I read the reviews and heard all the great word of mouth...so we gave Gallagher's a shot. It was a special night for us, and... first off, the service was exceptional. From the host to the waitstaff, top notch. Now the bad. For a place to claim to havethe best steaks on the Northshore...meah. My ribeye was edible. That's about it. Cooked medium, even medium well, it shouldnot have required I saw at the meat with my knife. I'm not a fancy guy, so this was a rare experience at a pricey restaurant. I learned an important lesson. I do not like "a la carte" at all. To pay the price they charge for just a steak, then add aside for a price most appetizers go for...it just doesn't make sense for the consumer. The side I chose was the asparagus with"hollandaise sauce". I love asparagus and prepare it regularly, and just assumed that one should trim off the hard, fibrous,inedible ends of the stalks, but what do I know. I also have made hollandaise sauce a number of times, which can be timeconsuming and finicky, but should not be presented on your side dish as runny, foamy and basically buttery lemonade. My wifetried the catfish pecan, which was mushy and had a muddy taste...sigh. The side she chose was potatoes au gratin, which bringsto the imagination, thin slices of potatoes, baked with an abundance of cheese...or in this case some lumps of potatoes in asemblance of cream sauce with a spattering of cheese on top. To return to the "a la carte" aspect...I do no see the appeal ofhaving numerous plates and dishes consuming the table space and making it a tedious endeavor to bring one stalk of asparagusfrom the bowl shaped dish to the inadequately sized steak plate one at a time to be able to cut it and eat it. We paid for themeal without complaint, as there was nothing that could have been remedied at the time, the damage was done, lesson learned. ButI wanted to ensure that my experience was available for people thinking of going there. While most pe Read more

Our all time best on the Northshore. Food is always tasty. All the staff are very friendly and attentive always. Our food came... out promptly, everything was delicious.

Our waiter was so bad. The waiter gave me the wrong drink and I tried to explain that it was the wrong one. The waiter took it... back to the bar, came back with the same one and told me "it is what it is". I emphasized that it was the wrong drink and thewaiter finally fixed it. The waiter kept acting frantic during the whole dinner, which was very odd. Our table was never prebussed after our appetizers. I was left high and dry after I finished my drink, no one asked me if I wanted another one. It wascomically bad service, like the movie "Waiting". The food was great, but the service was horrible!

Always consistent with great steaks cooked to perfection. We visit several times a year and have always had good, sometimes... stellar, service. We take friends and family who visit from out of town here often. The sides are large enough to share and themarinated crab claws are to die for! Read more
