Now please let me start by saying that my time is valuable to me, so I am going to spend the next couple of minutes writing this review as a WARNING to others that might be thinking of visiting this establishment. I put one star for many reasons. 1. Because yelp won't allow you to write a review with no stars. 2. Because i have been going to Gallagher's around Phoenix for years. 3. The food at this location was terrible for 3 out of the four guests. 4. The Staff overall was anti customer service. Management being the worst. 5. The smell outside as you walk in the door. So let me explain 3 - 5, I would try and explain 1 and 2 but I think they are self explanatory. 3. The food. I/2 rack of ribs with two sides. The ribs came out looking way over baked with no moisture to speak of extremely dry and void of flavor. Asked for extra sauce just to get some flavor and moisture into the meal. The two side were Asparagus which was actually very, very good, and sweet potato fries which were rubbery and again very under seasoned. Bad meal #1. Honey mustard wings and a Greek salad were the choice of our second guest, and my wife. The wings were so bad that my wife questioned their freshness had kind of a pungent sour smell, when we asked our server ( who by the way tried to be helpful but seemed very overwhelmed) she was told by the Manager that it was the smoke that made them taste and smell that way. I have eaten Smoked chocked on many occasions and this was to that, nor that smell. I did not try the Greek salad but my wife stated the the dressing had way to much Vinegar and was not that good. She only ate one wing and I ate one wing to confirm the foul taste. Bad meal #2. The third member of our party actually liked his Scoville Burger. He liked the flavor however thought it would be a little hotter considering is name. Good meal #1. Now finally for the forth and final member of our party. Me. I had the mild wings and again they had the same pungent sour odor and what I did eat tasted like it had a little more BBQ sauce on it than mild wing sauce. After the wings I did not order anything else. Bad meal #3. The staff. When we were greeted our server was very nice, and she asked if we wanted something to drink and if we were ready to order which we were. We ordered our drinks the meals above also asking for the NTN game consoles so we could play the NTN Trivia. She took if order and was very nice. Our next encounter was with a different waitress who brought our food and seemed very bothered that she had to do so but again our server was nice. Now mind you this is about 30 minutes later and we asked for the NTN game consoles again. 20 minutes later she brought them out. By now we have determined that the food was terrible and that someone should call the health department about it seeming to be spoiled, but we decided to just hang out and play trivia as a group for a while before heading home. This is where we discuss the poor management. Just as we start playing trivia the manager comes up and changes the trivia from the TV that was displaying it. When we asked our server she stated that she would ask for it to be changed back. When she returned we were told that we could turn around and see the TV behind us if we wanted to play trivia. I asked to speak to the manger and she got him for us. I told this person that we were playing Trivia on this display and that we would like it changed back to trivia so we could continue. His response was that the table of guest sitting directly below the display wanted it changed to the re-broadcast of the game form last night. Please note that I earlier stated the table of guests sitting directly below the display. Really only two of the people at the table could watch the game. The others would have to look straight up and slightly behind them to see the TV. the manager then said he would try and find us another TV to use. Once he realized his mistake he went over to the table under the display and talked to them and returned the TV to is original channel displaying the Trivia game. However I am not sure what he said to the table under the display but they continued to give us nasty looks and make Snyder remarks under their skin which made us all a little uncomfortable. We informed our server that we were going to be leaving after all and explained why and she then informed us that the group under the display were friends of the managers and that they were always acting t Like they owned the place and were also very rude in regards to other customers. It is my suggestion to avoid this establishment at all cost. Try Bull Shooters down the road, or oune of the other sports bars on the immediate area.
