The Grubfellas

I’m so glad I found this gem on google. I really wanted to eat some good food after a long tiring day at work. Good thing I came across this, and was happy to find that they deliver thru UberEats. When I ordered it was on BOGO promo. My short stay in Manchester suddenly was worth it because of the Knockout Toastie! Their tenders in spicy sauce was also good, but watch out for spice level.

I always find myself ordering from here again and again, chicken knockout toastie is packed with flavour, loaded fries have a nice kick, I did order the regular knockout toastie once although not a fan of the patties, I wish they were a little crispier and less sloppy. But overall love, highly recommended

Really good food the toastie is not just hype. A nice blend of sweet and salty, the chicken was still a bit crispy and the cheese pulled it all together
I will say the staff seemed overwhelmed with orders so be prepared  for a LONG wait.

I came across The Grubfellas thanks to its high rating—which honestly made me curious enough to place my first order. It didn’t feel like just luck, so I gave it a try… and then another… and then a third. This review reflects my thoughts after three separate orders.

In the photo, you’ll see my go-to picks: the Knockout Toastie, Salted Skin-On Fries, and Chicken Tenders. I’ve also tried the Oklahoma Cheeseburger and Classic Chicken Burger before. While the burgers were decent, they didn’t particularly stand out—I’ve had better before.

The Knockout Toastie, however, is the star of the show. It’s a unique item, both in concept and taste, and definitely worth ordering just for itself.

That said, the chicken tenders didn’t quite meet expectations. They lacked the texture and appearance you’d expect from a chicken tender—not enough coating, and not deep-fried as they seem in photos. The fries were a bit undercooked if you ask me and didn’t quite deliver on the skin-on promise either.

Due to these details, I’m deducting two points for food but with the rest, my overall rating comes to a strong 4 stars. Still, I’d absolutely recommend trying the Knockout Toastie.

Food was great as always, quick service and lovely staff! Shout out to Abdullah, I asked him to tweak something with one of the burgers and he was so accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone, love the whole menu! Quality of food and the service is great everytime, my favourite place in Manchester!
