Bagels and burgers from the guys behind Eat New York

Triple B

Tried the salted beef and grill melt bagels. Both tasted very similar but one just had cheese on it. I enjoyed the grill melt, felt like it had more going on than the standard salted beef bagel. Bagel wasn't too heavy so is great for a quick lunch. Also, portion sizes are decent, they don't skimp on the meat. Also tried the angel fries which were very nice, it had a good underlying taste to the fries from the truffle oil. A good spot if you fancy a bagel and their menu also has burgers and subs which I will be back for to try.

Amazing Taste...
Amazing Presentation...
Amazing Service...
The environment ♻️ is just so welcoming.
Really affordable prices for such exquisite burgers👌🏾👑.... Will definitely be coming back soon..

Yummy tasting goofy fries, the meat and cheese was amazing. Will definitely come back and try burgers.

Best burgers in Manchester! Brownies are to die for and the guys over the counter are really nice.

Got a burger that cost £9.50. Really! Poor quality,  small portion, I would recommend that you go to McDonald's instead. Will not waste my money again. Very poor and it was cold when it arrived, avoid uber orders, it only makes the experience worse. Only gave a one because I couldn't give a zero.

Luxurious diner with water features and pirhanas

Appetite Junction

Took the family and we really enjoyed. Child friendly which helps. Service was great and everyone enjoyed their food. Prefer this place over some of the more pricier establishments around!

I have to say I received the best customer service! The food was amazing and Tee was just brilliant! So joyful and actually caring made the experience amazing!! The best I ever got. Thanks Tee.

Watched the King & I at the Opera and walked down to the "appetite junction" for an after theatre late dinner. Fair to say was a really amazing experience. How quirky is it! My lady friend and i are grateful for the customer service provided by the staff. Will look to visit again with more people from Birmingham!

Friend dragged me along to this establishment for an after works catch up. Honestly great going! Soothing atmosphere and warm staff. The pizza was absolutely delicious! We shared some pancakes which were incredible too. Taking the wife next weekend.

Amazing experience, quality food and the to top it off the pancake stack was a treat I will remember for a while. Lovely decor, my son loved the fish tank and the spectacular waterfalls.  I will definitely be re visiting in the near future

COSMO World Buffet Restaurant | Manchester

The food is so nice and there is soo many different foods to choose from all around the world

Best buffet for quality, choice and price i have ever been to. Are you back open?

Fab place & friendly staff great food choices

I really love buffets and this is definitely the best one I have been to so far! As a picky vegetarian I cna say there is definitely a lot of choice! Only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is that it gets ridiculously crowded throughout the entire restaurant meaning that even though I prebooked a table, I ended up getting seated an hour after I was due to have my meal

Unfortunately, our food has not been halal certified. However, some of our chefs do source halal meat, so please speak to the Manager on the day of your visit who will be able to advise you further.

New York diner classics & American street food

New Yorker Diner (NYD)

Absolutely atrocious, staff had 0 care for customers, more focused on eating the stock crouched behind the milkshake area, tables had less stability than Theresa Mays cabinet, trays and utensils were filthy, drink sizes were far too small for an "American" diner and the food. Not only did it have way too much salt (seriously think it's given me high BP) but somehow managed to vacuum your sense of taste away, but still managed to taste like hell. Do yourself a favour. Walk 5 minutes and go to KFC. Less greasy, less expensive and at least has some element of taste. I do not know how this place is still open, but from what I saw of how many customers go in and out, it won't be for long. And thank heavens for that.

Excellent customer service, average food. Ordered Dirty Burger it was more like Clean Burger. Extremely thin chicken fillet.

However, buffalo wings were nice.

I will give another try and depending on that experience will update my review.

Decent food but ridiculously over priced, like £12 for a burger. Drinks taste of cleaning product.

The most amazing food shop in the town. My favourite. Staff is really polite and helpful. The place is really cool. Nice music on everytime. Foods taste is awesome. Quality food with a lot of variety.❤❤❤

I really liked their food. I always get fantastic service here. The place is well kept and the workers are always friendly. Highly recommended.

New Yorker Diner

Grand Daddy's Diner

Great experience. Customer service 10/10. Waiter made sure meal was perfect and was generally such a a nice person. Greeted at door, checking in on us during our meal. Ordered full English and everything tasted fresh. Sausages were tasty and was very hot which was a good sign

Very clean establishment and great decor. They have have a range of American drinks which is a strong plus

A Great American decored diner. Was impressed with the friendliness, attention to cleanliness (even the toilets were very clean plus have a themed decor) plus service. I started with a coffee followed by the spicy chicken burger with skinny fries. Both very nice and warm, with the burger very succulent oozing with what seemed like their special tasty sauce. Don't miss out seeing the shark, jumping out of the back wall! Great set of razor sharp teeth! Enjoy!

He makes this food all hand made to perfection in my opinion. The food was made with care, and he is such a genuine nice man to top it off, thanking him greatly. The experience there was worth it, especially for moneys worth too, considering it’s my first time, he made a beautiful impression. We went Wednesday 5pm – surprised at how quiet it was (which was good timing for us), although it’s quite a busy place normally. Thank you again.

Wonderful stylistic layout and incredible cleanliness. Extraordinary climate and amicable staff! Cool determination of various seating - stalls, tables with seats or bar stools. Adored my cinnamon milkshake, I've never discovered this character.

One of my favourite burger places I've been to. I travelled from Leeds to Manchester to try the Empire Burger out along side my 2 cousins and we were all absolutely astonished at how tasty and fresh the burgers were. The staff were very very professional and nice, and there was an awesome American vibe in this restaurant.  Highly recommended 👌keep it up guys!!

American Pies Mcr

The food was generally really good, Tater tots are brilliant, the honey and chorizo bites also sensational. The pizzas were a little too cheesy for my taste, they were very good, just not my cup of tea. And the staff were excellent throughout

Went here for dinner. and happy to say, the food's great. Saw pictures of places in Chicago, USA hanging on the wall, love how the interior looks, very lovely decorated. We got the Chicago Deep Dish - Italian Beef, Bourbon BBQ Ribs ( Half Rack), and Salt & Pepper Wings with Chili and Spring Onion. Decided at the last minute to get a meal here at night, and ended up really enjoying the time at American Pies Mcr. All 3 plates we ordered were delicious and perfectly made. Thank you very much for the great food and service.

6 of us have just been here
As you can see we tried most of the menu
The mozzarella sticks were bob on
Meatballs were fantastic
Chicken wings not so good
Fallowed by some beautiful pizza pies
Nice lasagna
Tata tots
An the chicken sandwich was overcooked
The staff are friendly and welcoming
The place is very clean
I would definitely come again

I've eaten a lot of pizza in my time, and this to be one of the best!

I had the goats cheese one and my wife had the Margarita one, and both were brilliant, only made better with the hot honey.

We shared some arancini to start which was also really good.

The service was friendly, and overall feel of the restaurant was pleasant, although a little quiet when we arrived.

I always always have mixed thoughts about this place, concept is perfect. Manchester does need more American style food and restaurants.. however if you’re going to be doing Chicago deep dish I would recommend doing more research on how to do it properly. The videos I see of real Chicago deep dish look nice and soft, filled to the brim and the cheese is perfect whereas with your version it’s more quiche like and hard, cheese isnt the correct style for what it should be and most importantly the marinara should be smooth not lumpy and it also should cover the whole top of the pie. Moving on from the pizza, the sides and other dishes are always top notch, way too big and fumbley to eat but really tasty. Personally I hate tater tots, I think you should have home fries instead. Congrats on the new venue that’s a good move, the more space was definitely needed.

American Pies

BEE BOX

Today was my first time ordering from Bee Box, and everything was 10/10.
The burger was absolutely delicious, the fries was warm and fried as I like them and there’s a good variety of choice in terms of drinks.
Will definitely be coming back.
All this for £5

Just waited 20 minutes in the shop so expected it to be fresh, but got served a week old kebab. Freezing and looks like it’s been shaved off the bottom of Tutankhamun‘s foot. Literally crispy. Worst takeaway Atherton’s ever seen and we’ve endured tasty grill for years. Everything else was horrendous too for reference, but that kebab stole the show. Ruined my weekend nice 1

Absolutely brilliant place, food is top tier and the owners are brilliant. 5 pound chicken strip meal deal was top end. Easily the best in greater Manchester. Thanks

Not a good first experience order at 22.45 and still waiting for ny order. Unable to cancel as there preparing my order. My partner isnt the happiest and won't be ordering from here again. They don't answer the phone phoned serveral times. Disappointment. Deliveroo have tried to call them too with no answer what food place doesn't answer the phone but will accept an order.

Best munch box ever. Easily best in atherton 10/10. Flavours are sublime

Big John’s Manchester

The potato wedges were absolutely amazing—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! The pizza was decent, though it didn’t quite wow me.

Unfortunately, the experience was dampened by the fact that the restaurant’s door wouldn’t close properly, letting in a constant stream of cold air. It made the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable, which was a shame because the food had so much potential.

A little fix on the door would make a big difference in creating a cozy and enjoyable dining experience!

Visited 09/02/2025, when arrived greeted and advised that no kebabs and no grilled food available which is the majority of the menu, once ordered chicken burger and fries meal, spicy chicken burger and fries meal, chicken tenders and fries, the food came quickly. I’d say the fries are average and not seasoned and without a drink they can become dry/claggy after eating a few of them. Condiments are available if you ask as is fork if requested. Not a bad place and prices are not too bad for the area and choices available in the vicinity

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chicken Burger is good and Cost effective. Potato wedges is extremely bad. Talks about Customer Service specially the lady who is at reception is required sufficient training how to interact and providing good service. I may think to go for big johns again for burger however customer service experience made me to suppress that thought. Treat this comment in an organic way to overcome the issues highlighted.

Tried the chicken burger expecting a proper spicy dipped one, but it turned out to be a processed patty with just mayo, nothing special at all. Definitely not what I was hoping for. The chips were decent, but overall, I’d say avoid the burger. Plenty of better options elsewhere.

Went to Big John's after hearing big things about it!

I wasn't impressed tbh.

We ordered 2 spicy Chicken burgers, a 6" Asian Spicy Pizza, 4 Chicken grilled tenders and 6 spicy wings.

The food presentation was on point 👍🏼

The spicy burgers weren't as good as expected as the bun was rubbery and too Chewy and overloaded with Mayonnaise, the pizza was okay but bland, wings were too oily and overcooked as the batter had a slight burnt taste although the chicken grilled tenders were excellent!

Prices were reasonable.

The service was excellent by the shop manager but we had to ask for the music volume to be reduced.

Overall the place was kept in a clean state but the food disappointed us as this is the main reason why we went of course.

Give it a try although I certainly won't be going again.

Big John’s 

Brewski Bar

Outstanding meal and fantastic service. Absolutely lived up to the hype. Only thing I could ding them on was no music playing. Cant wait to try the rest of the menu! What a fantastic Birthday meal!

Before coming here I looked at the menu online and thought to myself “£20 for a burrito?!” but let me tell you.. it’s absolutely worth it! The food was incredible, everyone loved their meals and the portions were huge! Probably the biggest wraps of burritos I have ever seen and the chips were very well seasoned. We came around lunch time and at first it wasnt very busy but as we were leaving it got packed, so make sure you either come early or have a booking. Staff is also super lovely and can recommend great food if you’re torn between things. Overall amazing experience and will definitely visit again! They change their menus every 6 weeks or so as well so there’s always different things to try too! Lovely concept

We were lucky to get a last minute booking whilst in the area. Have been a number of times, the food was as lovely as ever. They never disappoint. Had the bone marrow onion burger on this occasion and it was just divine! We already recommend Brewskis to people

Amazing food and atmosphere as always.  Brewskis and American pies are honestly mine and my partners favourite eateries!!!  The pork belly we had on Monday was something else!

I've been to brewski in Chorlton a number of times now to try the changing mate date platters and the latest is in my opinion the best so far. We demolished the Butcher n Butter between two of us which was no easy task, however because it tasted so good it made it that little bit easier. If you want to finish this dish then go hungry as there is a lot of food which makes it great value for money, especially when it tastes amazing.
Service was the usual high standard with attentive staff. Food time was 30 mins which again is fine for such a big dish. Service charge is included in the bill which I'm happy with but not always to everyone's liking.
Looking forward to the next mate date platter edition but it'll take some going to better the Butcher & Butter

Brewski

Kong's NQ

Really lovely people, equally lovely food. Taco Tuesday is highly recommended but all the food we had was excellent and the stuff going to others looked amazing too.

I inadvertently ended up on the leader board just because it's hard to stop the tasty train (had I known I'd have gone for the top spot!)

I'm looking forward to another visit if I'm in Manchester again.

This is the best fried chicken restaurant we have visited. The chicken is perfectly succulent and tender without being greasy. The flavour and seasoning is perfect. We loved our dishes and the service we received was very friendly too.

The quality of the ingredients is very high and you can see the owners are passionate about food. Highly recommend this restaurant in the Northern Quarter.

The best fried chicken I've ever had! I had the Korean chicken burger with buffalo loaded fries, we also shared a portion of caesar wings. The portions were large and tasted incredible. The staff were friendly and attentive too, we will be back!

Went with my family without booking a table.  The gentleman was kind enough to seat us. The service was excellent, and the staff were very attentive. Drinks came out quick, and food was served very hot. Had signature chicken sandwich and burger with bacon, plus side of mac and cheese. All very good. Highly recommend, however, recommend booking in advance.

Absoloutly the BEST Tacos we have ever had, and some of the best chicken wings ever too.

We came here on a night out a couple of weeks ago and the tacos were amazing…. So good that me and my partner decided to go again, we decided to spend the night in Manchester last night but missed out as the kitchen had just closed when we got there…. We went today instead and it did not disappoint either, the staff were very friendly, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was awesome too

Los angeles subs

Fantastic subs! The fresh bread really makes a difference, and they get the sauce just right. Highly recommend!

Best Subs ever. From the bread to the filling inside everything was top notch. Definitely recommend to everyone . You guys won’t be disappointed at all .

One of the delicious subs in the town I ever had served with fresh and soft bread fully loaded with sauces and chicken 💯

Food was very tasty, specially the grilled one was so magnificent, the bread was really soft and fresh love ambience overall 10/10

The food was very tasty, specially the grilled one  was so magnificent, the bread was really soft and fresh

Northern Soul Manchester - GRILLED CHEESE

OMG! Absolutely bloody gorgeous 😍 I was with my American friend, who, is somewhat of a cheese connoisseur, me, I just love cheese 🧀, WOW! It was amazing, fantastic staff, who i can't praise enough, they deserve a raise 😁 seriously though, customer service was impeccable, so friendly and helpful, the food...it was stunning 😍 plus fantastic background music, an absolute little gem! I will definitely be back ♥️♥️

Great food, amazing vibe and the service was great! Big shout out to Gabbi and Sonny, so helpful and service with a smile and can’t do enough for you, would recommend to anyone to try northern soul and especially try the mozzarella stick, best mozzarella stick I’ve EVER had! Just yum!! Had the tuna melt this time but I usually have the New Yorker, both absolutely stunning

Incredible atmosphere with great attention to detail. Our server Lissie was professional, attentive and bubbly and made our 1st experience unforgettable.

The food is just delicious 🤤

I recommend the big mozzarella stick and the chorizo grilled cheese!!

Overall definitely worth a visit when you are in Manchester.

Best comfort food place on the planet!
Consistently great - food, drinks & atmosphere! Dog friendly too! Service is always fantastic - Maisie is wonderful!

Great welcome and a nice interior, feels a bit like you're stepping into a New Orleans diner, great music to vibe to.
We ordered the Soul with extra jalapeños  and tabasco sauce, The Combine with mac 'n' cheese, a mozzarella stick and 3 chicken tenders with Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.
Mouth watering and soul pleasing.
The mozzarella stick is a stealer along with the perfect Ray's BBQ sauce.
I'd say if you're totally famished, the Combine is your go for, my friend practically inhaled hers. While the Soul is an all taste buds pleasing choice if you don't like massive portions.

Northern Soul Grilled Cheese

Ramona

Loved it! The eating area is really nice, it was really warm as it’s in a greenhouse type room but didn’t bother me and my friend too much. The food was really good, we wasn’t too impressed with the pizza but the sides were so so good… the pizza is good as well but had nothing on the sides… staff are really friendly!

This place was really nice. It's an extremely unorthodox setting, in a kind of timber clad marquee(see pic). Almost Xmas market vibes but fresh.

The food was an absolute delight. Everything was super tasty with lots of different interesting options. It came out quickly after we ordered too.

They knock out some top-tier cocktails aswell 🤌🏻🤌🏻

The 4 🌟 for service is because I think they need another member of staff or two to serve the amount of people. The service we had was excellent, but it's was a bit annoying trying to get the attention of someone to get served.

Anyhow, I'll definitely be returning 🙌🏻

I’m in two minds about Ramona’s. It is very loud but has a nice atmosphere with loads of chatting. The music is pretty good too. The pizzas tasted great and the chicken tenders were different but delicious. We visited when there was a deal on the pizza slices but I wouldn’t spend £4.50 per slice of pizza, that is a ridiculous ask. I would recommend but in my opinion it isn’t somewhere you’d stay all night just a quick slice of pizza and a pint then move on.

We had an incredible time at Ramona during our bottomless brunch! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—our waitress was so attentive, polite, and genuinely made sure we had the best experience. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and her recommendations were spot on!

The drinks were absolutely amazing—expertly crafted and full of flavor. Coupled with the bottomless brunch, it was an unbeatable deal and fantastic value for money, which made the afternoon even better. The atmosphere was great, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our brunch.

The waitress was also very attentive in accommodating our friend’s dietary requirements and offered a substitute which made the whole experience even better.

We’ll definitely be back very soon. Highly recommend!

A great spot to go for a quick bite and a drink or strap in for a long haul of funk and high energy vibes. Staff were all very helpful and efficient, you must be seated to order food; however, orders are taken at the tills, so it was rather cheeky to have then charged service fee on both a drink and food separately. I had the Jabba slice and whilst light on the nduja, overall it was a light dough with crispy edges and great flavour combinations. I would definitely return and I recommended to all in a large radius.

The Blues Kitchen Manchester

There's a great soundtrack that continues to play in this place.

Popped in for a quick afternoon bite on a trip into town so no live music at the time.
Had the ox cheek nuggets... Damn they were good. Little explosions of tender pulled meat in crispy coating. Fries were good - hot and crispy but perhaps portion a little small for a fiver! Really friendly service!

Perhaps a few more choices for draught beer wouldn't hurt. Camden Hells but not Camden Pale?!

Need to come back during live music - can imagine has a great atmosphere.

What a great place! Every table was taken, so shows its popularity. Even though it was busy it was well staffed and run really well by attentive and friendly staff . The decor and the feel of the place was a definite vibe. We ate there but there was also seating at the front for drinks only. The food was nice enough. ( We had chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger)No complaints. Would definitely recommend and would return as we just loved the feel of the place. We weren’t there when the live music was on but there was a stage where they regularly have people playing.

What a vibe! First step in the door, and the staff smiled and immediately made us feel welcome. Food was delicious and cocktails only £6 on fridays. We didn’t have time for dessert and we mentioned we celebrated birthdays this week, and was given dessert to take home. Imogen was super friendly and made time to chat with us! Great addition to your team! Give her a raise or promotion 🤪 The band who played was also great! Visited on 30/05. Also the interior , is crazy cool.

Great service!

Barrel beer can flat twice but something must have been wrong with the pump. Didn’t charge so all good.

Wings to start were ok, nothing extraordinary not special. Quite think on the meat. Tina tostadas were great as usual.

Chopped salad was fab. Fried chicken , gravy and fries again were maybe not different to a middle ground chicken shop. A lot of batter, minimal chicken. Gravy was cold and chips tasted like they had been half fried, then re fried. Hard and not crispy.

Service was excellent as usual.

So I was in Town to pick up my Wife from a business trip in Oxford and she decided she wanted to go out for tea so after abit of uncertainty we decided to head to The Blues Kitchen as my Wife had wanted to go for ages.

So we didn't book and just turned up we parked up round the corner(As parking is limited around Quay Street) we were warmly greeted by a hostess who seated us in a booth and after a few minutes the waitress came and took our drinks order so I opted for a pint of Lager and my Wife opted for a glass of pint Noir.

Drinks arrived well presented, crisp and went down a treat shortly after a waitress brought us a jug of Ice water for the table so then several minutes later the waitress came and took our food my Wife wasn't starving but fancied something to eat so she opted for a large portion of Buffalo Chicken Wings with a blue dip sauce and I ordered the fried Chicken 🍗 🐔 fries and gravy.

We had to wait several minutes for the food but my God was it worth it, I have never tasted Chicken so good in my life, Honestly the chicken was amazing, decent portion size, The chicken was tender, juicy and the flavours were out of this world 🌎, The fries and gravy were also very tasty.

My Wife really enjoyed her Buffalo Chicken wings with blue cheese sauce again they were spicy yet tender and so juicy and succulent, We both cleaned our plates and decided to order another round of drinks I opted for a Mojito cocktail 🍸and my Wife opted for a double baileys over ice 🧊.

Service was great, polite and friendly staff, Excellent drinks, Limited food menu but the Chicken 🐔 is absolutely amazing, Restaurants was spotlessly clean, Quirky interior as the restaurant used to be a eye hospital back in the Olden days, Drinks ranging from non alcoholic to cocktails to beers to spirits to soft drinks etc.

Bill was £75 but we rounded it up to £90, The restaurant has live music 🎶 most nights and fantastic experience and we will definitely be back.
