There simply is no way to…read moregracefully eat their burgers or wings without slathering face, fingers and possibly eyebrows in the vast amounts of sauce dripping from everything they make. It's probably why you're given a roll of kitchen of roll instead of napkins when you sit down. When we first arrived it was queued out the door, ok it's a small entrance way but that still meant there was at least a dozen people ahead of us. Thankfully we were quickly ushered inside and while we still had a 15 minute wait for a table for 4, and we could spend that time at the bar. The bar has a decent selection of the usual favourites. It's a bit short on good beer/ale but does have Brooklyn larger on draught. They also have their very own larger, which to be honest was unimpressive. It tasted very weak with no strong flavours and a distinct lack of hops. I would describe it like sex in a canoe, f**king close to water. If you're a Bud or Coors lite drinker you'll likely enjoy it. But you don't come here for the booze. The burger menu was impressive, the smallest they do is a double and every burger comes with a long list of toppings. Some crowd pleasures feature, candied bacon, pepper jack cheese, BBQ onions, but there are also some weird and wonderful additions such as crunchy pretzels, frazzles (yes the crisps!) and even beerios, which are some sort of beer infused cheerios, they only appear on their breakfast burger. I had the river phoenix, a double cheese burger with bacon, BBQ onions, chipotle sauce, baconaise and the aforementioned frazzles. The burger was delicious, the meat was good quality and well cooked, although it did get lost under the vast amount of different toppings. As sides we had their chilli cheese fries and suicide wings. The fries were excellent, a mixture of regular and sweet potato fries. They were cut to just the right thickness and had a nice crunch while still being fluffy on the inside. There wasn't quite as much chilli as I'd have liked but other than that the fries were perfect. However I was disappointed in the suicide wings. I'm a big hot sauce fan and they were pretty mild. I would have liked for them to have been a lot hotter. I was expecting ghost pepper heat and only got Jalapeño. It's not full waiter service as you do have to order and pay at the bar. But the staff were pleasant and the queues were short so I didn't mind. Our four burgers (3 doubles and a triple), two portions of fries and a portion of wings came to a very reasonable £40.

New Yorker opened fairly recently on Portland Street in Manchester City centre, and thanks to the…read morestyle of the building it's part of, it looks straight from New York City itself. Originally seeming to be named New Yorker Diner, it doesn't have a diner vibe, so instead is now presenting itself as American Street Food, serving burgers, waffles and chicken, gourmet burgers, and some other American sides too, as well as milkshakes and Belgian Waffles. It doesn't have a huge range, but what it has it does well. As you descend the steps into the diner itself, it's got that industrial look that most of the Northern Quarter is doing at the moment, complete with bare brick walls, wood cladding, and filament bulbs. Definitely not the Ed's Easy Diner style 50's American diner. Also, it's not a full service restaurant, but in fact a counter-service place with a dining area. The menu is simple but appetising, with some really tasty offerings and at a price that is very reasonable for Manchester City Centre, especially with some of the lunch deals available. I went to the counter and ordered the "American Boy" burger with fries and a Cherry Coke. The friendly staff member gave me a flashing/buzzing box similar to what you get when waiting for seating at big chain restaurants on a Saturday night, and said it would buzz/flash when my meal was ready for me to collect. Handy. The food was ready, and what I got was very tasty indeed. The burger, although not pink, was cooked through, but still juicy, and the trimmings were perfect, although the 'Brooklyn Sauce' built up spice pretty quickly for me, so I'd probably skip that next time. The fries were really good! Properly hot and crisp, and seasoned perfectly meaning the sachets of salt I picked up were never touched! New Yorker is a simple affair, offering good simple food when you want it, at a good price. I'd go again

My experiences at this restaurant have never been disappointing; maybe that's because I seldom go at peak times and I tend to usually order my favourite dishes. Any meal with fall-off-the-bone saucy, meaty and juicy ribs does it for me; absolutely divine and you must try them if you haven't already. If you are unsure where to go to eat whether or not you're alone, Uncle Sam's is a definite recommendation - there is a choice of food that would suit everyone including kids menus plus they serve breakfast all day! Their portions are also liberal and prices are more than reasonable. Uncle Sam's is simple in design both from the outside and the inside, not to be underestimated for its quality and fine service.

The record store is on the small side - don't expect to find any deep cuts. On the other hand, they had multiple genres represented and the size of the hip hop and indie sections were quite large for the space. I didn't have a need to interact with the staff but appreciated the hands off approach (I don't like to be pestered when I go in a record shop.) So pop in if you're in the area--maybe you'll luck out!

Also known as The Jack, this is yet another of those pubs in Liverpool that lays claim to links…read morewith The Beatles. Full of memorabilia and nostalgia, this is a nice chilled pub both day and night. It consists of a basement, ground floor and upstairs, none of which are particularly spacious, but it's one of those places that no one minds rubbing shoulders with the next person. There's not a massive choice of drinks, but enough to cater for everyone. The music ranges from 60s onwards, and there is a jukebox that everyone seems to make use of, as well as some old fashioned sweet and nut machines - 20p for a handful of pistachios and then you can cause murder throwing the shells at people! Not somewhere for a lively night out, but at the same time, not always the best place for a quiet chat, especially as they tend to have the music quite loud. Still, if you want your Beatles fix and you're nowhere near Mathew Street or the docks, this is a good alternative.

Between here and the Art's Club down the road, I'm not sure what the decision rested on - our previous experience or the fact they have duck fries... The menu remains unchanged from our last visit, though obviously this time we were visiting for lunch. And man what a lunch! There were some big decisions to be made (what IS pepper siu mai? Can we also fit BBQ brisket beans?) but we eventually landed upon our final choices: CF BLT, the grilled cheese, chilli cheese fries, josper grilled corn, hot chicken wings and corn dogs. Everything comes on a large sharing tray for that authentic, messy food experience. We quickly got stuck in and some firm favourites appeared. The cheese on the grilled cheese simply cannot be faulted! It's the kind of cheese that never stopped coming and you can feel clogging your arteries but you don't care because it's just that good. The chilli cheese fries were also a popular choice, with some real heat in the meat and a slightly sweet dipping gravy. The chicken wings were the most disappointing for me as, although they were quite hot in taste at first, as soon as they cooled down the spice completely went. The chicken was moist but had very little flavour as a meat. Again, the corn dogs were tasty, but nothing spectacular on this occasion. Service was really friendly throughout, casual but attentive, and we rolled out feeling totally content. What do I have left to try here? Well, I've seen the Sunday roast and it looks fantastic, and the Daiquiri & Dim Sum Tuesday offer sounds like quite the treat...
