What a fantastic venue! We traveled from St Louis over to Waterloo after seeing this recommended. Location is adorable- the downtown area of Waterloo is super cute with lots of surrounding things. Building is beautiful, service and hospitality were top notch. Food was exceptional and drinks were well served!

The fried chicken was a perfect lightly fried, savory taste. The sides were exquisite. The corn, the balsamic, green beans, and the loaded mashed potatoes. It was well worth driving 40 minutes and would definitely go back again.

We were surprised at the change of the restaurant regarding ambivance and menu. The last time we patronized Gallaghers was prepandemic. We enjoyed the chicken dinner specials on Sunday. The old time atmosphere was very enjoyable. On this occasion we were surprised at the change of atmosphere. We were equally surprised at the price level of the entrees ($20 burger plate). Our food was, for the most part was satisfactory. My wifes plate was too salty for her taste. As we left we noticed the dining area not even 1/3 full, concerning for a Saturday evening dinner. Obviously the management of Gallaghers felt the need for an upscale dining experience. I am not questioning that decision but am disappointed

Upscale dining experience with a hip flair. The wait staff were very attentive without being annoying in the least. We were an hour early for our reservation but they made us feel very welcome and had a table ready in minutes. The place was very clean and neat. My only problem is a personal one, I live too far away to go back every week.

We were seated within 10 minutes of our arrival. Staff was quick to respond to any requests we had. The food presentation was fantastic and the food delicious. Would definitely recommend.

We loved the atmosphere. The steak was not has good as we had expected, we order fillets/tenderloins regularly at other establishments. I don't mind paying for great steak. I loved the grilled cesear salad!!! We may go back but definitely not for the steak.

The food was delicious, prepared with a distinct tweak or twist to staples we all love. Definitely, a new way to enjoy a fried chicken Sunday dinner! The remodel was done with style, durability, and ambiance in mind all the while keeping some elements in the architecture the spoke of the buildings' origins. Well done Gallaghers.

Gallagher's Restaurant, especially on Sundays, covers all the bases. The chicken dinner is outstanding and a real value, the restaurant itself is beautiful, and the service is 5 star.

Had a great dining experience at Gallagher's. Beautiful restaurant, drinks were good (manhattan and old fashioned. I had the bone in pork chop- nice and moist. My wife had the 6oz tenderloin. It was a melt in your mouth steak! Service was good and friendly. Worth the drive from STL. We will return

I liked when you first reopened. It was up scale and yes the prices were different from before but you were closed for a while with the remodel. I liked the new changes because it was a fine dining experience in a smaller town. It seems that you're moving back to your old dinning experience which does not make the experience much different from the other restaurants. I'll be back and will need to go to St. Louis or Ofallon for fine dinning experience. Food is great. Service was under staffed on second floor. The young lady covered multiple tables including bussing. Not her fault. It was just a totally different experience from the last 4+ times we've been there. Remember you asked for this review

The starter was very good, we had the tuna tartare, a bit of acid would have been a nice addition. The bartender was skilled at making tasty cocktails. My husband had the beef tenderloin it was cooked to perfection and tender as it should be. I had the chefs special of Swordfish on a bed of Risotto, with a Mediterranean salsa. The flavor was spot on, the risotto was cooked well and hot, my fish was cooked a bit more than I prefer and could have been hotter. The Chocolate Creme Carmel was luscious and a perfect way to end the meal. Overall, we had a good experience, good food, served by staff that was attentive. and knowledgeable.

Pricey but delicious. The Smoked Prawn Roll was fantastic! Skip the Buttonwood chicken, it's was good but on the bland side. Strip steak was great! Chicken fried steak was huge and tasty. The Gallagher's Manhattan was fabulous as always!

We arrived Sunday for the family style fried chicken dinner. The food was excellent and the wait staff was friendly and attentive to our table of 5. I recommend the chicken dinner to everyone.

My wife and I had an outstanding experience at Gallagher's. The cocktails to start were creative and on point. Dinner was excellent and each dish had great presentation and the flavors were great. Finally the service was top notch and the environment itself was really unique with the restaurant appearing to be housed in an old restored building. We will definitely continue to dine as here our first impression left a lasting impression.

I made a reservation with your restaurant for 6:45 for a second floor table. When we arrived at 6:45, we waited an additional 10 minutes to be seated. Instead of seating my wife and I on the second floor, they attempted to seat us at a table on the first floor next to your entrance door on a 20 degree night. It was cold. Once we were finally seated on the second floor, I ordered your prawn special of the night. That had to be the worst $33 meal I've ever eaten. I'm done.
