Living in Portland I thought let's see how the guys in Manchester do a proper sandwich…read more So looking around on Yelp I noticed this place and I have walked by from the hotel a couple of times without noticing there are some restaurants. The old railway building. Thanks yelp for making me aware. They have a lunch special with a selection of burgers and a chicken sandwich for £10 (at the time of this review 07/2023). That includes a side of fries. I noticed every restaurant that you walk In the host will ask you about any allergies or intolerances. If you let them know you're they will let you know what to avoid. Or if they do not know they will send you a manager who knows. There must have been a huge problem with allergies and it is a great way to avoid it. It is, in the beginning, a bit annoying until you realize it is actually a good thing (I wonder if Mcdonald's to the same - I'll might have to try that). So I ordered the chicken burger with a breaded fried chicken breast some black pepper mayo sauce some salad, Onions, and a slap of avocado. WOW - the nicely tasting breaded chicken was fried to perfection and it was a really big piece without drying out. Good job! the "burner" was definitely the combination of chicken and that avocado spread mixed in With the black Peppercorn mayonnaise - an almost perfect bite. The bun was not too big to get in the way of tasting what's important all other ingredients have been fresh and am tasty the fries also fried to a crisp state without being burned. Hands down a surprisingly great burger. Oh, I will be back - the service was five starts as well quick, knowledgeable, and friendly!

By far my favourite aspect about Alabama's is that it's not trying too hard to be 'American Style'…read moreit doesn't feel like one of the bandwagon American burger or hot dog joints popping up all over the city. It's just casually American or you could say it has a more intelligent nod to Americana in it's decor and attitude but maintain's a Northern attitude. Like the straight out of Mad Men 1960s Piccadilly Station print on the wall, the wooden star clock on the opposite wall or the red light shades. We went for breakfast and the selection was familiar but pleasantly different. With selections of classic breakfasts which could be Americanised with Texas toast for e.g. (I didn't see any grits which I'd love to see their take on). I had the Eggs Benedict with Ham Hock, it's one of those dishes which is a great judge of a place as it only has a few ingredients any one of which can disappoint. Alabama's was spot on. In fact I'm thinking that the ham hock possibly works better than streak bacon which I hate myself for saying, but it's less salty and gives it a more rustic homey feel. Which I really enjoyed. I love my coffee and I can say their flat white was spot on for me. The staff seem great here as well, very welcoming and friendly, offering to give suggestions or anwser any questions about the food. There aren't a huge number of places even in the city centre where I can guarantee a good breakfast and a great coffee in the same spot. I'm glad to have found another to add to my list.

Working in a 'Subway style' for serving the food, the staff are helpful when it's your first time and the guy on the till explained how it all worked and what I had to do.

And with so many different variations you can have, I'll be back to try them all.

And why -…read morewell I knew it was going to be super quick , fairly tasty and all the ingredients would be fresh. The bottom line is that it's basically like subway but replacing the bread for a pita. There's also a fair amount of ingredients to go in each wrap but nothing has a taste of blowing you away. Even though it was very quiet the servers all seemed a little laboured in their enjoyment of service but overall not a bad experience. Serves a purpose but not somewhere I'm rushing to get back to.

Yet here it is, a beacon of 'Oriental Cuisine' for all to experience and relative newcomer to the Ancoats 'scene' if you can call it that. Typical menu: select your meat for £3/£4, a little more for duck, and some sauce and away you go. There's a really good selection of veggie options here- veggie Chow Mein, veggie Vermicelli etc. But the Sweet and Sour chicken is really good, if you eat meat. This Chinese take out is everything you want it to be and more: value for money, friendly service and good enough food. A word of warning though: we once ordered delivery from here (for just a £1 charge) and it took absolutely forever so order early if you're thinking of doing this. We may have just been unlucky but even so. Chop Chop didn't exactly live up to its name that time.

Exactly the same experiences as my own. Good Chinese food, less obvious MSG than usual and a…read morehealthy taste, but slow delivery times. To be honest, with the plethora of greasy horrible Chinese food establishments taking over the country, this is a small price to pay for a nice healthy (ish) meal. You can tell the food is not bad because even the photos of it look good, and they are usually always a bad idea (see photos). The meals are remarkably cheap as well and though it might be more expensive to get prawns and the like, its still a ridiculous £4! This is at elast a quid cheaper than anywhere else I know. I also like the style of choosing a meat or fish and then a sauce seperately, as opposed to them being listen on the menu several times under each heading, i.e. Chicken in Cashew Nut, Prawn in Cashew Nut, Beef in Cashew Nut and so on, what is this larking about for? Just be straight up, you've got some cashew nut sauce in that kitchen haven't you? They also do a 'mixed meat' option, but that doest quite sound right to me, so I've always had prawn or chicken. For starters I recommend the soups, especially the noodle soups, which come with beef or chicken. I've got so say though, even though its only soup its damn filling so you might want to skip the delicious pre-main course treat if you aren't starving. Having said that, you could just force it down, along with some prawn crackers and prawn toast (very good here), and you'll still have only spend a few quid.

I'd been eating a lot of unhealthy foods so it was really nice to get a smoothie and a vegetarian full English (but I did get the black pudding on the side). Ironically the coffee machine was broken but my spirit wasn't! Plus I don't really like coffee anyway so it didn't matter. The staff were all super nice (not a requirement obvi but it's nice) and the food was really tasty! The interior was nice too very maximalist vibes and it reminded me of something I'd see in LA. Overall a great place to get breakfast
