                                                  We went to Waterloo specifically to dine at Gallagher’s. Lovely ambience and great service. We were seated upstairs where large tables near us were loud, and the two of us were at a 4-top table that was so tight in a corner that we had to sit across from each other, which made it even harder to hear. Food was plentiful and delicious, but the Popeye hamburger was so drippy with meat and spinach juice that the bun was soggy and absolutely flat, top and bottom. However, I took most of it home and it was was delicious the next day, when the bun had time to dry out. Loved Gallagher’s anyway, and we will be back!
