    Everything is always excellent every time we dine at Gallos. Tommy almost always comes out to check and make sure we are pleased with our food which always tastes amazing. We love coming here and hope to continue doing so for many years to come. We love their Seafood Creole and their Walleye is also excellent.

    Food is always amazing! We started with the fried oysters (our usual starter - yum!). I had the shrimp po boy and my husband had the pasta with “crack sauce”, crawfish cream sauce yumminess! The staff is always friendly and helpful. This place never disappoints!

    Gallos is so consistently outstanding. The menu has a nice variety to select from ~ everything fresh and homemade. And the nightly specials are also always excellent. The seasoned/experienced staff takes good care of you ~ they really ensure you have a nice experience. The restaurant is always bustling which is a good sign you're at the right place, especially in a city with a plethora of dining options. And I can't end this review without mentioning Tommy Gallo. It's always nice to see the owner walking around, ensuring his customers are having the best experience possible. Well done, Gallos!!!
