I don't think they were expecting any customers at all, as the guy was sat in the office at the back, and the grill and fryers were not even turned on!

A little salty, but definitely hit the spot for a casual lunchtime. They also do pizzas too... maybe something to try next week instead. All in all if you keep your expectations reasonable, its a good place for lunch in an area where there isn't much going on (Eccles).

The wait-staff were friendly and working busily to clear tables, take drinks & food orders and get food out to customers. As a result sometimes you had to wait a little bit longer than usual for drinks to arrive etc, but I thought it was OK because they were so polite and apologetic and we weren't in a hurry. The burgers, poutine and hot wings that we tried were all delicious and we already have plans to go back. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they have large TVs showing sports...and that's not my thing. But the volume is off, so you can hear your conversations; you're not drowned out by ongoing sports commentary, and of course the men/boys love it being able to sneakily watch the match while you're out for tea!

I've been to GBK a few times in the past, and for someone who eats quite a lot of burgers, I have…read moreyet to be disappointed by the place. I was aware that I was about to eat somewhere that has its food sourced by the titanic load, will lack a unique experience - all the things that stereotypically come with eating at a chain restaurant, but in the Trafford centre, there aren't many independent eateries to choose from and I'm not adverse to the odd trip to a chain every now and then. Standing by the 'Please wait to be seated' sign at the entrance, after a few moments we were approached by a pleasant guy who asked if we would like to sit inside or out, we chose inside. He then asked us to choose our table.. did we want a round table?, a square table?.. so basically we chose our own seat.. making the 'please wait to be seated' idea completely pointless. Anyway... The GBK restaurant at The Trafford Centre is newly refurbished, and you can tell. It's spacious and very well lit, which is clearly a challenge for any restaurant inside the TC. There is an upstairs eating area and balcony, which looked pretty cool. But, inevitably, with it being filled with shoppers just looking for a quick meal, it lacked in the atmosphere that you get with most burger joints in town. I always get quite irritated when the waiter asks 'have you been here before?' - I completely get why they do it, just in case you can't grasp the concept of choosing your meal and ordering at the counter... I nodded, the waiter quickly realised my annoyance, smiled and moved on.. fair play to him for that. (In my defence it was almost 9pm and I was very hungry) He mentioned that GBK have a loyalty app which I downloaded and used at the till to redeem my free sauce! Winner. *huge brownie points Mr Waiter guy!* I'm not overly keen on having to go up and order, especially with only one till open, I had to wait quite a while, again I can't blame them for this as it was quite late on in the evening - but I did, however, like being asked how I wanted the burger cooked - and at medium, both our burgers were cooked spot on; juicy, pink in the middle and tasty. Also, if you happen not to like any of the combinations they have for their burgers, they are quite happy to let you create your own. Not something i'd go for, but still a nice touch for those fussier eaters and also reinforces the fact that your burger is made fresh. The menu is fab. There are a variety of burgers to choose from ranging from quite plain to the more exotic and there are chicken burgers and veggie options for those who aren't a fan of the good old beef burger. We ordered The Camemburger - Beef burger with Camembert, hash brown, truffle mayo, onion jam and relish in a brioche bun. And the Taxidriver - another beef burger with American cheese, onion ring, Cajun relish, smoked chilli mayo, dill pickle and salad also in brioche. 2 orders of fries, one skinny and one of the sweet potato variety and the Homeslaw. After ordering, and paying £30ish for the 2 meals listed above, we were given 2 empty glasses to fill with complimentary monkey nuts from a giant tub.. nice touch and gives you something to do whilst you wait for your food. Ten minutes later, and with a table covered in monkey nut shells, the food arrived. The burger was, as previously mentioned, cooked very well and the Camembert was gooey and not overpowering - it worked well. These burgers are pretty big, and the more you put on it, the more dignity you lose when trying to eat it. No wonder they're held together with a stake through the middle. But it's all part of the fun. The skinny fries significantly lacked in potato - far too skinny for my liking. But the sweet potato fries were great and the baconnaise hit the spot. I regrettably didn't order a milkshake, but the lady on the next table did, and she seemed quite impressed by it as she tried to force her boyfriend to try some, more than once with 'Babe. Try thisss!!!' I did however, order a Coke which came, to my delight, in a glass bottle served with a straw! Glass bottled Coke ranks very highly on my list of soft drinks, as opposed to draft or Coke from a can. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but i'm sure they'd serve it to you in a glass with ice if you requested. With Manchester having been spoilt by the opening of so many great burger places recently, GBK isn't ever going to be my first choice but is still in my top 5. I find it reasonably priced and always have, because the food is fresh and cooked well. Chances are if you like burgers, you're bound to find yourself in a GBK at some point. And you won't be disappointed.

After a 11.5 mile walk we justified the need to eat here. I…read morehave been to the other two restaurants but not to this one before. So I am a big fan of Solita..having worked my way through the entire menu over time. Without question I ordered the cheeseburger spring rolls ..the pulled pork /chilli burger and halloumi fries. Himself ordered JD chicken wings and burger. Anyway I have to say the service was really attentive considering how busy it was and venue is huge. However the food didn't feel up to scratch . The rolls didn't have the right consistency or flavour and looked anaemic. Tasting a chicken wing the sauce was really good but messy to eat! Both burgers were good especially with the pulled pork in mine but forgettable. I guess in comparison to the other two the decor and vibes aren't as strong and the food not quite there . Its and okay place just not rememerable

TL;DR - Book in advance for some great food. Not one for calorie counters…read more We were very excited when we heard SoLIta was coming to Prestwich, but when it finally opened there was so much pent up demand it was booked out for weeks. We finally got a chance to visit and were not disappointed. The first thing that strikes you is what a great job they've done converting the place. They've taken the old Aumbrey restaurant and joined to a former takeaway to produce a surprisingly spacious restaurant. We'd booked in advance and were glad we did - the place was heaving. The menu is exactly the same as you'd get in their Northern Quarter branch - lots of takes on burgers and hotdogs, plus a few other dishes (fish, vegetarian). But let's face it - you're here for the burgers. Sparky ordered the KFB (Kentucky Fried Bacon) and I had the Drop It Like It's Hot (spicy!). They've got a few beers on tap; we skipped the house special Solita Brau and went for a Paulaner Weißbier instead because we love the stuff. We also added a side of onion rings and another of coleslaw. We were quite shocked by just how fast our food came, probably in just over 5 minutes. I guess if you serve a lot of burgers, they just make sure they have some on the go at all times. Burgers can be served medium or well done - we went with the former, and it was properly medium - nice and pink inside. In many places this would a cause for concern, but everything here's freshly prepared so no worries. The burgers were amazingly good... words won't do their artery clogging deliciousness justice. There were also some amazing looking desserts on the menu but frankly we were too full of burger to do them justice. The food is great and the calorie count is high. Hugely tasty. Hugely satisfying.

Aw I really liked it here!…read more For some reason I got totally ravenous at around 2145 and started freaking out about all the restaurants closing and could only think of this one nearby that might still be open so basically kept saying "Dogs n Dough" "Dogs n Dough" over and over again until Rana M capitulated and escorted me to that over-mentioned establishment. Inside was very American but sort of authentically (although I can't really tell anymore). There's a lot of dark green leather and a Rolling Rock sign. Owner/manager impressed me by saying they would keep serving until at least 11pm basically to do more business. EXACTLY. THAT IS THE CORRECT ATTITUDE. No hipster prancing about looking-moody-instead-of-serving-people-here. My small business heart was deeply gratified. Our server was also excellent, quick and attentive. They have what I will boldly declare as the best strawberry ice cream milkshake in Manchester and also a great looking list of cocktails that are £4.50 during happy hour and can be eaten alongside various delicious snacks. Food wise, the dogs, as Andrew Y. mentioned, have a rather odd hard outer skin but I actually quite liked that. I didn't realise my burrito dog would actually come in a wrap, but it was pretty tasty. Next time I want the one with Doritos. Or the Reuben. There's a lot of choice. There is also a MAC N CHEESE PIZZA whaaaaat. Sides: onion rings were giant, and good, and chilli cheese fries were as always a delight. Do not come here if you are on a diet. I will obviously be back here ASAP. FYI all the dogs are 100% beef.

Dogs n' Dough. That's what they serve. Hot dogs and pizza. And to be honest I've been meaning to…read moregive them a try for quite a while but only tended to remember about them when I walk past their neon lights directing them down Bow Lane, near St Peter's Square in Manchester City Centre, but it's usually not when I'm looking for food. This time I made a point of finally going to visit. I like that at night it feels a bit secretive being down a little side street, then down into a basement restaurant. Inside feels reflective of being outside at night too, with theatrical lighting, neon signs, and dark wooden furniture. One thing about the decor I particularly liked was the cartoon drawing all over of various hot dogs. When I asked the staff about these, they apparently originate with a guy who travelled all around the USA trying the speciality hot dogs, then drawing them as posters. What a job! It's a good talking point and unique as a decoration, I'll say that much! The atmosphere is friendly and cosy, people laughing and chatting whilst trying bits of each others pizzas and hotdogs. The menu has great tongue-in-cheek names for their offered dishes, and in the drinks menu I was happy to see that there was a large selection of soft drinks available for those of us who don't drink, including imported US sodas that aren't easy to come by here. It's so nice to find somewhere doing soft drinks other than the standard Coke/Fanta/Sprite fountain guns. We chose a root beer and a Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla (although a Pepsi Cherry Vanilla came out, we didn't realise until afterwards because it was still pretty damn tasty). You're also given a bottle of water per table so you can enjoy your drinks rather than feeling you've rushed them due to thirst. Staff were friendly and enthusiastic, as well as knowledgeable of their product and environment. We were told how things were served, the types of pizza, hot dog sausage types etc, and when we decided to order some fries to share instead of a starter, the guy serving us observed this and told us that if we wanted to share the hot dogs that we'd ordered, they could be cut in half in the kitchen so we could easier share. That's a nice idea for couples and friends, I like it. I was very much considering the mac bites as a starter, but thought it best not to overfill before the main! We ordered the Kiev Fries, which were cheese, garlic butter, and herb crumb. Very tasty, and genuinely did taste like chicken kiev which gave me a giggle. We both took ages to decide what to have for our main, and instead of pizza we decided to go for the hot dogs. I ordered Cheesus Christ Superstar (heh) which was three cheese and caramelised red onion chutney. I was a bit surprised that the cheeses in question were melted slices of cheese rather than a sauce or grated cheese, but it worked, although I think a bigger serving of the caramelised red onion chutney would be better to balance out the cheese with the sweet. My partner ordered The Cowboy, which was house chilli, nacho cheese, crispy bacon, jalapeños and sour cream. He tells me that although it was very tasty, and the beef frank was great in flavour, it could perhaps have done with a little extra chilli. However, we were both impressed, and it certainly didn't come close to breaking the bank. So for good quality hot dogs in a pleasant atmosphere for pretty damn good value, definitely give these guys a visit! We will definitely be returning to try the other hot dogs, the starters, the pizza menu, maybe some of the drinks and th...in fact... well.. lets just say we'll definitely be going back!
