The restaurant opened in 1879, when Charles Gage opened a restaurant at 302 Fulton Street and has remained in the same location since 1892. The Dewey family operated the restaurant between 1919 and 1988, when it was sold to a partnership led by Peter Aschkenasy. Joseph Chirico operated the restaurant from 1995 until 2004, when the restaurant closed. The Gage & Tollner space was then occupied by various other stores during the 2000s and 2010s. Following a crowdfunding campaign in 2018, the restaurant reopened in April 2021.
The structure which housed the restaurant was built in the mid-1870s, originally as a private residence,
Gage and Tollner's began when Charles Gage opened an "eating house" at 302 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, in 1879. Eugene Tollner joined him in 1880, and the restaurant became known as Gage and Tollner's in 1882. Tollner was the son of Charles Tollner, the founder of the hardware store that subsequently became Hammacher Schlemmer under the ownership of Eugene Tollner's cousin William Schlemmer. The restaurant moved to 372–374 Fulton Street in 1892. Electric lights were installed in the 1890s to supplement the original gas lights. In its early years, Gage and Tollner's was known for its oysters and clam bellies.
By 1900, according to the New York Herald Tribune , "ladies were not permitted to smoke, and arrived at the restaurant at 372-4 Fulton St. in horse-drawn carriages escorted by gentlemen in silk hats". At the time, a lobster dinner cost $1.
