Gallagher’s

I usually don’t post negative as everyone has bad days but this is second time the service has been horrible. Overworked, understaffed, out of dishes and silverware, beers poured and left out at least 10 – 15 mins (sat by bar). Chips and salsa was ordered, we were warned the kitchen is way backed up. Ha, chips and salsa, as the guy went to every table warning them of the shite service tsunami coming their way. Chips and Salsa– pour chips in basket, pour salsa in bowl. Deliver. After 15 mins no beers, no chips. No show. Worst part is owner sat there and stared at us and talked smack to staff about us impatiently waiting for someone. No one could break from that worthless huddle to take ten steps away from their dramatic clump of despair lamenting how busy they are (n’t). Again, having happened repeatedly, this owner clearly has zero care for customers and more for having a good time at work. Shame, food is not bad…

Peter was our server and did wonderful all day football Sunday. We’re a group of gay men who love good service and football. Peter is our guy! The bartender was a younger girl who was awful.

I have tried food here a few times, but their food is food… I keep coming back for their pizookie. For those of you who don’t know, picture happiness in a skillet. For those of you who want more details… picture a skillet with the most delicious cookie dough still warm and googy with ice cream on top! It is a ten in itself with no need to mention the kind friendly service or other good food (such as wonderful boneless wings that are easy to eat and taste great).

Walked in the door right after 10 with the boyfriend to grab some food. They had karaōke going on in the main room, so we grabbed a booth in the bar area. I am not a Unilocaler, really, but I work in the restaurant industry and I wish I had a chance to write something better. However, we sat down and not one person or employee greeted us for about 5 – 7 mins. We listened to 3 karaōke songs and nothing. Servers walked by us, sat in the well waiting for their drinks and still nothing. By far the worst way to start off. We looked around and finally were over it and walked right out. At least greet your tables! Cmon I get it, I manage and bartend elsewhere. They were about half full too, so no excuse. Wish I had something better to say, but they weren’t busy at all, just seemed to not care on a Saturday night.

Staff wasn’t all that excited to be staff. I guess it’s a Phoenix thing but my dollars spend the same in every state so that’s no excuse in my mind. Fish fry isn’t beer battered cod loins, it’s corn meal battered filets. Kind of unexpected. But the beer was cold and the waffle fries were delicious. The live music was nice.

Good prices and good food. Lots of specials on drinks, or at least whenever I happen to go. Friendly staff. Decent amount of draft beers

Horrible food!!! Great Service:) The wings were not seasoned properly. It was not appetizing and probably won’t go back to try something different…

Our apartment complex had catering from Gallaghers and I really enjoyed the chicken bacon ranch wraps! Very delicious! The wings were a little on the mushy and fatty side, could’ve been fried and crisped up a bit more, but otherwise we were very pleased.

Great attentiveness from the staff, friendly, chatty, positive attitude, and overall welcoming and inviting. The gal behind the bar was 110%. I hate going to bars to enjoy spending my money and having the barmaid or man, treat you like shit for asking for a drink. This place is the opposite. Awesome place!

Came here for lunch for wings and a place to watch some college basketball. My fiancé had the medium and I had the honey BBQ. He enjoyed his but mine were way too saucy. I had to wipe quite a bit off to enjoy them. The flavor was good but just too much. The restaurant is clean and our server was good. The only other complaint was there was quite a bit of horse races on and people around us were very serious about the races which made watching basketball a little bit of a challenge. It seemed like if you weren’t into the races then you were kinda ignored.

Great choices of food. Also Great food. Good service for the most part. We are weekly regulars here. And their white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie and ice cream is one of the best I’ve had.

Friday fish fry was on point. The service was great, the food was good, the place was clean.
I had fish fry AYCE. The fish was small 2.5 oz chunks so go ahead and reorder as you get your first plate. It was not the best ever but was far from the worst. I would say good not great.
My wife had the burger. I ate a ¼ of it and was impressed. It had a real nice flavor to the meat.
Child uno had fish… but just a single plate and she was full (17yo)
Child dos had the chicken strips and ate them all. (14)
Our cousin had the kids mac and cheese, fried mozzarella sticks and a salad. We all liked our meals.

My wife and I went to Gallagher’s Saturday night for dinner. Yes, it was Valentines Day; but my wife and I have been together for 15 years and neither of us like to do Valentines dinner out for the obvious reasons (crowds, long waits, mediocre food, etc…). We would rather enjoy each others company and have a good time just being together.
I have been going to Gallagher’s on Fridays with a group of friends for lunch. I have enjoyed my lunches. So far, the service and all the food I have tried has been very good.
So anyway, we walk in and grab a booth. The server comes over, introduces herself and tells us she will be taking care of us this evening (standard for most places). We ordered a couple of iced teas and checked out the menu.
We ordered our meals and an appetizer that was on happy hour special. This was about the last time we saw our server (other than her walking by and looking at the table). The manager (I’m guessing on this, he could even be the owner…) delivered our appetizer, our meals, refilled our tea, checked to see how we were doing, etc…
Our server wasn’t overloaded w/​tables, and the place was not packed (we went early, about 5PM), but it seems that we were an annoyance to her and not a table of customers that she was supposed to be «taking care of».
She did show back up when we had finished our meals and asked if we wanted desert. We declined because we were full. She brought the check, I put my card in the folder for her to run. When she returned the folder, she just set it on the table while walking by; no «thanks», no «see you soon», no «go to hell», nothing.
I won’t put the server’s name on here because I don’t want to embarrass her. I understand it was Valentine’s day and maybe she didn’t want to be there, or maybe it was because we were not drinking alcohol. I don’t know…
My wife and I are pretty easy, we don’t ask for a bunch of substitutions, we’re not needy. Just bring us what we order, fill our glasses when they’re empty, and check on us once in a while. Do those things and you will earn yourself a nice tip (I usually tip about 25% up to 40%).
I will also say that we had dinner on Friday night at the Gallagher’s on Carefree Highway. The food there was also very good, and the service was great (and they were busier than the Union Hills store was on Saturday). Our server checked up on us a couple of times, the manager came by to check on us, even the young gentleman busing the tables wished us a good night.
This review is not so much about the food, which has been very good to excellent on EVERY visit (worthy of five stars!), but about the service we received on ONE occasion when we stopped in for dinner.

This is our 3^rd year coming to Gallagher’s for Super Bowl game. On occasions we will stop in for lunch. Generally speaking, they have pretty good food. The service is really good. The owner, i think he’s the owner, we see him every time we come in and he is always checking on us even after our server has been by. I really like the hands interaction he has with Gallagher’s, to me that says alot.
Last night i ordered my Kobe burger med-​well, it was more like rare, there was no way i was eating that. The owner came by and asked how we were doing and i asked if they could cook it more, i wanted med-​well. No problem, he said.
Everything else was really good. I had a bloody mary that was really good.
Friendly, happy employees. Good place to go if you like off track betting and lots of tv’s, drinking and entertaining groups of people.

Love coming here! I come on Fridays and hang out in the bar. Gwen is a great bartender and it’s always a great mix of people. Their food is great too. Much better than any bar food I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a great local bar where they know your name and drink order this is the place to be.

The tvs are smaller than the location on carefree highway but the wings are better and local brew choices

A girlfriend of mine told that a few of them are getting together for some drinks and laughs and that I should join them, so off I went to meet up with them at Gallagher’s. When I got there I knew I was lied too, this wasn’t just about getting together and sharing come laughs.
Yep my friends were there, but there was no laughter, they were deep into their football games. They are some sport lovin chicks, but the cowgirls where losing (why did they expect it to be different) and they needed to drown there sorrows in beer, well not really I was the only one who ordered a beer, got me a Blue Moon, which was cold and great tasting!
I did order there bake potato, random thing to order I know, but I did. Ordered the veggie baker; it had bell peppers, onions, mushrooms & cheddar cheese. It was good. Also ordered a gooey chocolate chip cookie Sunday, oh man that was delish; a gooey warm cookie topped with ice cream & chocolate syrup, man that was sweet heaven!
Gallagher’s had great service, and they have lots, I mean lots of TV’s, you can catch whatever sporting activity your heart desires! It was a fun time with my friends.

So I was down the corner at Magnums for an early drink and smoke. I heard about this place as a decent dive in town, and it was just down the lot from me.
I walked in and saw what looked like a pretty decent place. It was a slow night for a weekend, so I went to the bar and stationed a bar stool. The bartender did the usual «Hi, what can I get you.»
I had a country fried steak and a beer. For 12 dollars, it was a decent meal, and I was happy I ordered it. Cheap eats and decent booze.
A weekend later I came back. This time there was two bartenders and the bar was full, so I took a seat at one of the booths. I sat for about ten minutes waiting. One of the kitchen guys saw that I hadn’t been helped and showed up with a menu and asked me what I wanted to drink.
I was thankful he helped me. I ordered a water and a kiltlifter, a Phoenix microbrew. He told the bartender that had ignored me up until that point that I was indeed there and had intent to be a paying customer. She showed up with my Kiltlifter and asked if I wanted to eat something, of which I did order the country fried steak off the night menu again. I reminded her I wanted a water too.
So I get my food. Still no water. I ask for it again. She said sure. Ate my food, then got my tab. Still no water.
First experience: Good. Second experience: Not so good.
I would recommend this place for a good bite to eat, but don’t expect to be able to rehydrate here… I’ve heard it’s a good place when it’s hopping, but I didn’t see any eye candy while I was there. It’s a decent neighborhood dive, but definitely not a place I’d expect stellar service, although some of the staff seems well trained, once they pass you on, you may want to flip a coin.

I didnt have a terrible time here, but it wasnt a «wowing experience» either.
The bartenders have that «dont bother me» personailty. Not what you want when you walk to a bar, and an empty one at that.
Its cool that there are games attached to the bar tops, will keep you entertained. I feel like the crowd here is a little on the trashier side, not saying I’m classy or anything. Just an observation.
Egh, probably wont come back.

This is a neighbor hood bar that I only can see one coming to if one lives right by. There is nothing I consider redeeming by this place. They have beer, they have standard grub and standard everything else. Nothing to Unilocal about ;) It’s almost as if they went out of their way to maintain anonymousy if it wasn’t the gloom atmosphere with a hint of depression and melancholy.
I don’t thing that Gallaghers has a format that is desirable, at least not for me. I have other establishments to force my taxed monies upon.
I had some great company, but I can’t credit the establishment for that. I cannot see it in the stars that I will return, to this or another namesake establishment.
They do have trivia. If anyone is into that, but they won’t deserve my mercy because of it.
