The Gallagher’s New Year’s Eve set dinner (8pm seating) was outstanding - all four courses. The service was excellent overall and Abigail took very good care of us. She went above and beyond. I would definitely like to repeat the experience!

Absolutely excellent dinner. The Sunday chicken was very good. The have really raised the bar on everything from the chicken to the biscuits and side dishes. All drastically improved. The service was exceptional. Can’t wait to try the regular menu items.

We have had back to back bad experiences for the money here. Last time the salmon was very under cooked. This time there was obvious change to the staff who were all new and under trained. Servers could not answer basic questions about the wine or food.. They were very pleasant just not knowledgeable.The food was ok but nowhere close to what the cost of food is. I miss the old Gallagher’s. I believe they’ve bitten off more than they can chew with this new upgraded version..🤷🏼‍♂️
