Pretty much what you…read morewould expect from an American diner, burgers, chicken, milkshakes, fries etc. I had a peppermint tea (£2) and got a massive pot of hot water, with separate teabag, which made me at least 3 cups of tea! We were a group of 4, had no starters, the boys had 2 milkshakes, 4 main courses and 2 deserts it came to an average of £19 per head, which probably is average.

From the food to the service to the soft play and computers to entertain the youngens it was a night to remember. The food had what every child desires which a buffet of nuggets, hotdogs ect... Not to add to the adult menu which was delicous(the food not the literal menu) the food was creative and gave a samantic field of like it was just who and the food and it was lome you were staring at with a mighty gaze just waiting to dive on in and eat it all up because boy it was scrumpous. The desert on the other hand was utterly and completely divine, they mastered freindly and warming service and the only thing they could possibly add was air conditioning in the soft play so the children you ran around untill they were dizzy and their feet were raw. Thankyou and goodbye

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.

Another completely unique venue for Bitters and Twisted. Buffalo & Rye is new to the Bennetts Hill…read morescene, and a few doors down from sister venue Bodega. This place generated a ton of buzz before the doors were opened mid November, so naturally I wanted to try it! After stalking their Facebook, it seemed the best time to grab a table and avoid long waits was right at opening. My dining partner and I turned up shortly after noon on a Saturday and were seated immediately. The first thing i noticed is how intimate the venue is. There really is only a handful of tables. We opted for our own high top table as stools aren't the most comfortable seating. The menu is simple and specific. I'd check it out ahead of time so you know what you're in for. I thought the servers were great. Timing of food, not as great. They were rammed but we were the first people sat for the afternoon so I'd expect less of a wait than 25 minutes for starters. We shared some wings and beef chili cheese fries. Now, I am from Buffalo, NY. The chicken wing capitol of the world. We invented and perfected chicken wings. Its hard to compete with our wings in this country. Back to the review, here the wings were left still attached which I kinda liked. Usually you find the drums and flats separated so this was actually a nice change up. I do think they needed more sauce. Ours were nice and crispy but dry. Overall they were a nice choice for a starter. Ooh and the cheese fries are lovely and served in a little baking tin. As for my main, I had a buttermilk chicken sandwich which was juicy and crispy goodness. The roll was a bit too hard for my liking. I left most of it on my plate. But the chicken was amazing. Random fact about me: I love pickles or gherkins as you Brits call them. It's always a nice surprise to see a place over here serving pickles. I asked for some on my sandwich and only got one tiny piece. Step up your pickle game Buffalo & Rye! I almost forgot to mention the cocktails!! Such wild and crazy concoctions here. I tried a grape fizz and red kool aid inspired drink. Grape fizz blew me away. Kool aid was a bit uninspiring. Not as sweet or flavorful as I imagined. There's also milkshakes that looked wonderful. Sadly I was too full for one. I really liked this place. Although I can't see myself visiting it as often as the other BnTs, it's still worth a pop in. Plan accordingly. It's busy!

(You can only book for more than 6 people, which is worth considering during busy times of day.) They are going for a casual American vibe, but I wouldn't call it a fast food joint! Really great good quality burgers and dogs. I didn't sample the salads but they looked amazing too. The pancakes looked quite heavy and doughy but actually they were amazingly light and tasty. As usual they guys do amazing cocktails -but you probably guessed that!;) good for a lunchtime and quick evening bite.

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

Although, I wish they would have some paper towels but I know they can be wasteful and they do give a wet sanitized hankies to you to clean up that BBQ of your fingers but no need to have that go to waste just use tour lips! So much flavor on their secret sauce yum and if that is not enough, you have 5 BBQ added sauces to choose from at your table. Baby back ribs just can't get enough and the Dirty Chicken burger there are no words for how soft and tender the meat is as you bite down on all the flavors of the bbq, the slaw and the candy bacon.

Overall, just okay.

Barely any sauce. The ribs were decent - definitely not fall off the bone type, but okay tasting. I asked for sweet potato fries, even with an upgrade charge, but alas, the service wasn't the best. So I got the regular fries - which were probably my favorite part of the meal. They were the thinner kind so not the typical "chips" - which I like! The BBQ sauces - 5 choices - I didn't care for any of them. The tangy coleslaw also wasn't a hit with me. $20 or so for the ribs/wings meal & a large Pepsi max.
