Went in for the first time in 44 years. Nice atmosphere and people. No time for food I will hopefully be back and get that beer.

Gallagher's a friendly, family owned bar and is a gem! My wife and I love to explore neighborhood bars in the area to enjoy breakfast and a Bloody Mary and we found last year. We have since been back for lunches and dinners and have never been disappointed! Gallagher's is a slice of Americana waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. I highly recommend Gallagher's!!

It is so rare for me to go old. A place and get a steak the way I like it. Most places overcook rare steaks. James made it Perfect!!! Austin was a delightful server.I m excited to come back

The setting is rustic. It reminds me of a knotty pine cabin interior. I had the Denver omelette, it was moist and flavorful. It was a great breakfast

Had breakfast with family here and absolutely loved it. It's been almost twenty years since the last time I ate here, I'll try not to wait so long next time. The French toast was amazing and the Belgian waffles others had looked great too. The place was packed with the locals who come here often, but there is always room for one more.

Stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The restaurant was plenty busy even though we got there a couple minutes after it opened. We sat in the small dining area and it was cute. Lots of stuff to look at on the walls, which I like. The server was friendly and quick to take our order. I tried the pocket French toast. I thought it was pretty good! Some of the blueberries didn’t taste great (heard the sever say they use all frozen fruit)but the French toast and filling were good. My husband had the Cajun breakfast and he liked it! Can’t beat the price! We were looking at the daily specials and are excited to come back to the Friday fish fry.
