I visit this restaurant at least once every time I come to NYC. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is wonderful, especially at Christmas. It's noisy when crowded, but conversation is possible. The waitstaff is attentive, and the manager is outstanding! A "must go" experience.

Great luncheon today. Lots of menu choices for winter warmers. I had the beef stew. Tender and tasted great, with a small salad and some bread. Just the right size portions, not to big and not to small. My wife had the chicken stew, and equally as satisfying. Our server was very attentive. We've been here before-sometimes good, sometimes not so much- and this is the best experience we've ever had.

Very nice restaurant. Accommodated a last minute request to change reservation time. Tasty steak. All five in party were happy with their meals (sushi, seafood and burgers). A bit noisy in dining room, but not an irritant. Waiter was attentive, but went missing between main course and dessert. But the desserts were worth the wait. Pricey?

Expectations were high for this place but unfortunately they were not met for me. Service was great. Super friendly and attentive but the food was just okay. Appetizers were well done with the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs and cornbread being tasty and well executed. The mains were a disappointment though. The fried chicken was probably the best but was still not much above a Mary browns or Popeyes in quality and taste. My barbecue platter was just okay too with an odd additional of mayonnaise on the bbq chicken. The ribs were tasty and had good texture but the brisket burnt ends were alternately dry and fatty. The sausage was in my opinion just ok. The shrimp and grits were also just okay with the shrimp being a bit fishy tasting leading me to believe they were not of the best quality. I was expecting better from this highly rated place.

About the restaurant

Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab is the culmination of a partnership between Lettuce Entertain You and Joe's Stone Crab, the legendary seafood restaurant of Miami Beach. Joe's features an extensive selection of seafood, flown in fresh daily, to complement the world's finest Florida Stone Crab claws. Joe's also features signature prime steaks, hand-carved by master butchers such as our 24 oz. Bone-In Rib Eye. Matched with Joe's famous side dishes, dinner only gets better when capped with a slice of key lime pie.

Iconic restaurant that attracts celebrities, athletes, and people who appreciate great food. Stone crab is what they are famous for. You must order some! But, the steaks are awesome too.

We had the fried green tomato BLTs and split the chicken and waffles. The BLTs were an incredible mix of flavors that worked so well together. The chicken- amazing! Husband said it may be the best fried chicken he’s ever had… and we live in the South!

Midtown West

About the restaurant

Founded by former Ziegfield girl Helen Gallagher and the colorful gambler and sports enthusiast Jack Solomon, Gallaghers opened as a speakeasy and steakhouse in 1927. At that time, the height of Prohibition, a good stiff drink and a great steak were hard to find in New York – except, of course, at Gallaghers.

New Yorkers come for the world-class cocktails and incredible steak – prime beef dry-aged for 21 days in Gallaghers’ legendary windowed meat locker. The combination of all-natural dry aging and cooking it to perfection over hickory coals makes for a steak unlike any other found in New York.

Gallaghers’ guests are welcome in a wide variety of attire – from elegant casual to business suits. We respectfully request that you refrain from wearing hats, sports jerseys, tank tops and shorts.
