Gallagher's Grill

I took my husband here for his birthday dinner and we enjoyed the food and our server, along with a couple of young workers that bussed our table.The restaurant was clean and had a warm feel. We were greeted when we arrived and was seated quickly. I actually made reservations on Open Table and requested a seat on the bar side of the restaurant and we were seated as my request. Our server, Brett (I think he said Brett or it could have been Brent) was very friendly and attentive. Great customer service skills. He was funny as well. We enjoyed his presence. The food was excellent! We had the trio appetizer, the veal chop, the lamb chops, the Brussel sprouts and the sweet potatoes. Everything was prepared to perfection! The meats were tender and seasoned perfectly.The bread was good and warm also.The server gave my husband a birthday dessert which was nice.They do have credit vs cash payments so if you want the lesser price, bring cash

So we had reservations for a later time but they seated us even arriving an hour early. I have heard so much about this place and the "melt in your mouth steaks" I had to try it and we had saved up some money to give it a try.I will say our server Jenny was top notch and amazing! She was there to wait on us but not overbearing allowing us to spend quality time at the table while enjoying the wine and food.We ordered a bottle of King Estate Pinot and it was amazing and then ordered the BBQ Short Ribs - WOW make me a tray of those and I that is all I will need! We also ordered a Rib Eye (Medium) and a Cowboy Steak (Ribeye with bone in - Medium) and some side (Spinach Dip, Baked Potato and Bacon Brussels Sprouts).The Short Ribs were so good and my expecting was up for the rest of the meal on this first visit, the steaks come out on a hot sizzling plate and that is a fun experience but then from there to be honest the meal fell flat for both myself and my wife. The sides did not taste as good as the menu worded them to be as I didn't really get the bacon in the Brussels. The Cowboy steak failed to render the fat in the steak and I ended up cutting off a lot of inedible fat and grizzle and for a $53.00 steak "al la carte" I did not expect this. My wife and I switched plates and I tried her $38.00 Ribeye and it was dry (cooked medium, but lacked moisture).Based upon service I would return but I think I would order 24 plates of those short ribs.

Staff was super friendly and very knowledgable about local fare. The blackened Redfish Couvillon was simply amazing with the perfect amount of spice, and the fish itself was tender yet firm, undeniably fresh. I got the Macque Choux side and it was genuinely one of the best corn dishes I've ever had. It was buttery and sweet! This place is well worth the trip over the Causeway.

My wife and I recently enjoyed a Friday anniversary dinner at Gallagher's Grill, a well known Northshore eatery in Covington. Our table adjoined the bar area and we had excellent service that was both welcoming and efficient. Decor imparts an understated, white table-clothed elegance that is also warm and comfortable. Oddly, and perhaps because the crowd was at near capacity, the noise level was intense; comparable to the loudest sports bar I have ever visited. Perhaps some intimacy could be achieved at the furthest corners of the establishment, but I doubt it. Strange, considering the aforementioned elegant vibe of the dining room.We started with an Oyster Pablo appetizer, which is a Louisiana take on Oysters Rockefeller that is appropriately "Creolesque" and tasty. I enjoyed a good house Cabernet with dinner; my mate had the signature "smoky" old fashioned, which she said was excellent. I had a Caesar salad that was adequate and my wife had the spinach salad, which she thought was primo. I followed with the 16 oz. sirloin, which was prepared to medium rare perfection, and she very much enjoyed the catfish pecan meunière. Accompanying French bread was good.Prices were as you would expect at a higher end steak house, with food quality being high. All in all, it was a good experience at Gallagher's.

Food is so consistently good with high quality ingredients , great staff and good selection.

This is my first time in Covington. I am a foodie and always knew LA had some great food. Today confirmed that i have been missing out for 45 years. I ordered the Redfish Couvillion. This is a cajan inspired dish with blackened redfish, shrimp and crawfish over creole tomato sauce rice. I loved it!!I also had the turtle soup which was fantastic!!

Going to a Pat Gallagher's restaurant. It's always a wonderful experience. I've grown up and lived in this area all of my life, and every time we go to a Gallagher's dining establishment we have had superb experiences. Definitely hard to decide between amazing fresh fish or scrumptious steak selections! Good luck trying to pick only 1-2 sides, too! During this trip, I tried a cup of the shrimp étouffée, which was perfectly spiced, and so fragrant! I could've ate a bowl for dinner for sure! If you're looking for a special experience, in a nice, low-key setting, this is your place. On the west side, I personally prefer the Covington location over the Mandeville locations (been to all on both sides of the parish). I recommend reservations, which you can do thru Open Table. Enjoy!

We started with the Gulf Oysters Brochette (wish I had taken a picture) they were mehh not a fan the sauce was also just really weird. Should have just gone with the safe choice of the Oysters Pablo next time we know though.For entrees I got the Pompano I believe and he got the ribeye with the bernaise sauce he didn't like the sauce and said was made wrong lol he's a harsh critic though. The Brussels were mid however we are Brussel sprout connoisseurs lol. He had been before and knew the key lime pie was a must and I'll agree it was amazing, however I got the baileys cheesecake and it was so delicious! I also had 4 of the blueberry cosmos such a good cocktail! Waitress was nice and sweet, did however take a minute to greet us and had to ask flag her down a couple times we dined fairly early at 5:30pm and it was very dead not busy at all but other that that had a great experience.

I've been hesitant in writing this review since we have eaten at all of Pat G's establishments for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience or meal. Thursday night, we decided to dine at the location in Covington. We started out by ordering the house salads with dressing on the side. When the salads arrived, both were covered in blue cheese dressing. For our main entree, I ordered the sashimi tuna and requested it to be cooked medium with the soy reduction sauce on the side and my husband ordered the salmon with pasta. When my meal arrived, the tuna was prepared rare and smothered in a sauce which was barely edible. I ended up eating a few bites and requested a to go box. The manager did stop by our table and inquired how our meal was. I reluctantly told him that my tuna was not cooked medium and the sauce was not put on the side as I requested. He did offer to comp my meal but we refused. Needless to say, we will not be dining at this location in the future.

Favorite local restaurant for a steak. Everything I've had here is good. Great service and perfect spot for a nice lunch or dinner.
