I take our great aunt here a lot, not because it's great, but only because it's the only place in town. The staff is really nice, I will give them that. The place itself, could use an overhaul. The food, well it's okay. The selection is decent and the prices are fair. Not everything is fresh, some things are frozen, but that's how it goes in all places like this. I always ask about some of the items to make sure they are made there or if they were purchased like the soup, or the coleslaw. I love fresh coleslaw. Wait staff has been attentive for the most part. read more

Service was pretty condescending and what is the point of a sign that says "seat yourself" and the staff then ignore the customers who listen to the sign? read more

It's been a while since I've been to this diner. We used their back room after my grandmas funeral today. They did a great job of getting our orders and food out as fast as possible. We never had to ask for refills or anything because the staff stopped by enough to check on us. We didn't need to fly them down. Everything we had to eat was very good! The restrooms are huge and look to be recently renovated. They offer several specials and a menu full of choices from sandwiches to platters. read more

Very hit or miss for good service and good food. Had eggs Benedict and they were done perfectly. Unfortunately the home fries were not even warm. Waitress Never came back for refills of coffee much less even ask how things were. On arrival there were many open seating options. I specifically asked not to be seared near the counter top area. Yep, seated right beside counter. The problem is there is always one or Two guests that do not have an "indoor voice" I'd rather not have to be part of their conversation. The middle booths used to have removable sections to allow more privacy while enjoying your meal. For some reason they have removed them. Anyway, yes sometimes this place is great. Unfortunately the last two visits were far from great. I'll still give them a chance because when they set it right it's very good. Plus they are the only non fast food sit down restaurant in the area. read more

I have always gotten good food here no matter what I order. We always try something different each time but we do have our favorites. Servers are friendly and always checking to see if you need anything. They have a great menu. We have been coming here for 2 years since moving into the area and never have I been disappointed. read more

Manchester Café is more of a classic diner than a café, and I've only been there for breakfast a few times. It's exactly what you'd expect--predictable in the best way. The food is solid, the prices are fair, and it's a reliable go-to spot when you want a no-fuss meal. read more

Ordered a cheesesteak and it was just ok. Expected better based upon companion's recommendations. Service was good.

We had lunch here today and it's the 2nd time we have ordered the Philly Cheesesteak sub. It's a very big delicious sandwich on a super fresh roll that comes stuffed with shaved steak and fried onions with a dish of great marinara sauce on the side. It came with good french fries and a drink. We have had breakfast there many times and especially love the eggs Benedict with potatoes of your choice. It's such a large serving! The restaurant was clean and the service prompt and courteous. read more

Ever since the new ownership, the food went downhill. Staff are disrespectful, one of the worst services I ever had. The place is clean, but it is way too dark inside. read more

Nicely remodeled. Very busy. I have eaten here twice and wait staff are attentive, good food and ample portions.

Ever since the new owners took over the food has gone downhill slowly. One thing that I have recently discovered and is very disturbing is that there indoor security cameras do live audio recordings, so you have to be careful of what you speak of or say because you know the owners and there partners do take time to listen to the recordings. read more

Excellent menu! There are options for everyone. The service was friendly and fast. Do not leave without having dessert. I recommend the Oreo pie. Very casual type of diner and great for large parties. read more

This is our go to place for breakfast...great omelets, home fries, pancakes...we have never had bad service here and we have been going there for years. read more

Everything dry. Bad waitress. Her name is Ash. We had chicken cordon blue and chicken croquettes. No flavor and very dry. Mashed potatoes to. Macaroni and cheese was curly noodles instead of macaroni. It was the first time we had something bad there. But if it continues we won't go back. Please be aware of all these foods and waitress. She didn't even check on us. Never asked us how are food was either. read more

A staple in the Manchester community. Typical diner food with fast service! Definitely recommend.

The roast beef on the open faced roast beef sandwich had a green sheen to it!The staff said the cook said it's normal. Normal? Because it's stored in water in the fridge. Really? Then, the waitress couldn't find the manager to adjust my bill. She said she'd just charge me for the side of mashed potatoes (unbelievable) but after waiting for 10 minutes, I just paid for a green roast beef sandwich. I will not eat it Sam I Am. Not in a diner or at a seat, I will not eat the green meat! read more

It's pretty obvious no one here cares. The place is disgusting. There were several finger smears of ketchup on the wall above my table, the booth seats were sticky and full of crumbs and while I waited to be served, I witnessed every employee eating in the front of house and going directly to help other guests. Wash your hands!!! Everyone had on extremely casual street clothes and not one single person said thank you or was remotely polite. The icing on the cake, I was obviously over charged, it's basic math, and when I asked for my receipt I was only provided the CC copy. Never again. Save your time, money and possible food Bourne illness. read more

Went back to Manchester Café for dinner with my husband and son. Their menu choices are still basic, mostly comfort food classics. Last night I noticed they had a pork and sauerkraut special on the dinner menu. It came with mashed potatoes and one other side. I chose green beans. My son had a chicken Caesar salad and my husband had chicken parmesan. My entrée was incredibly delicious. You know that scene in Ratatouille where the restaurant critic flashes back to his childhood after one bite? That was me with my pork and sauerkraut. The sharp tang of the kraut was muted and made savory from being cooked with the pork. The large chunks of pork were fork tender and melted in my mouth. The mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. My kid's salad was huge and had a ton of chicken in it. I tasted my husband's chicken and was impressed by the tomato sauce. It had a huge depth of flavor without added sweetness or sharp acidity. It was really, really rich and savory. Our service was friendly and attentive. I've upgraded my review of Manchester Café to 4 stars. read more

No. Just, no. Super busy, parking is rough. Servers were friendly but seemed too rushed and not particularly attentive. A few of our orders got screwed up. And both my brother's eggs and my toast were cold. Just didn't get anything right, today. read more

When I am in this area, and ordering it's usually through Door Dash. The breakfast is always delicious! Haven't tried anything else, as of yet. When I tried this place, I thought it was going to be a one time try, but I keep coming back when I can, which speaks for itself. read more

I love the place. Fantastic service, friendly. Coffee always topped. Clean, great food & reasonably priced. Casual atmosphere. What more do I need? read more

Just a small cafe, typical diner food, good place for breakfast. Very homey. Have a lot of specials too

My grandma used to come here with my grandpa all the time before he died, so when she mentioned that, I knew I had to try it. Tucked away in a little run down strip mall is this wonderful restaurant. Definitely got the feeling it was an older person hangout, but there were also lots of families here. Their menu was huge! Probably the biggest I have seen in a while! That scares me because usually that means that they don't specialize on one particular type of food. But I was completely suprised at how good everyones food looked. I was in the mood for some good home cookin, so I got Salisbury Steak. I never get that...ever! It was very good! I got one large steak with my selection of two sides, applesauce and macaroni. They have this cranberry salad as a side which I highly recommend. It's sweet and tangy. I'm hoping that by taking my grandma back here, she can continue to visit this place even though it brings back memories, since we made some new ones. read more

Literally the driest Reuben I've ever had even after ordering extra Thousand Island. So dry it's a choking hazard. I told the waitress and it was still on the bill at full price. Not to mention, this place is dark, gray, always looks closed, and is an internet dead zone. One extra star for great fries. read more

The staff here is as bland as the food. Rude and inattentive. Service with a smile is NOT a priority here. Food was bland and over cooked. Would not recommend spending your money or time here. read more

I've been here many times over the years. Today went in with family, party of 12, around noon on a sunday. Servers were friendly and accommodating for the larger group during peak hours. The 2 stars are simply for the service factor. I ordered breakfast, pancakes, eggs, sausage links, patatoes and toast. One of the worst breakfasts I have attempted to eat. Pancakes were rubber, sausage was rock hard it was cooked so long, someone in our group who has allergies to shell fish was given fries that are fried with crabs. And she specifically told them no fries because of her allergies. All in all small town diner with pretty bad breakfast. The group seemed to enjoy their linch/diner platters though, so I will give them another shot next time I am in the area and update my review. read more

We enjoyed a great breakfast here. Waffles tasted homemade. Excellent service and a good value. Will return.

I really enjoy coming here for breakfast on the weekend. Yes, there is often a wait for a table, but it's usually short. They get you in quickly. I love the mushroom and cheese omelette. Having recently visited a few other breakfast places, it is my opinion that theirs is the best. I would not recommend their veggie omelette though. The oregano is overpowering. My kids like the pancakes and I personally recommend the French toast. The service is pretty standard. Nothing spectacular I suppose but they do keep things moving, and I'm not really going to make friends with a waitress. So to me that works. I get what I want and they move on to the next customer. A few bus boys help too. They keep your table cleared quickly so you aren't sitting with dirty dishes. I wish the coffee were a little better. The servers are very good about keeping it filled, I just wish I wanted more of it lol! That would be one thing I'd ask them to change. read more

Service makes me not want to tip, you think that coffee cost an arm and a leg. It seem like the service is an inconvenience to the wait staff, unless you are a regular. The price is not the best about high and there is no flexibility in the the price if you don't want toast and potatoes with you omelette it cost the same as the with it. read more

They have a lot of tasty choices for reasonable prices. The Greek salad with chicken is huge and a regular choice. Many of their soups and other dishes are part of our regular visits. We often visit once a week...occasionally we have visited twice a week. You can often see us there for breakfast as well. read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch in my opinion. Good food, good prices and friendly service. What else can you ask for?

On a Tuesday evening, my teen son and I visited the Manchester Café for the first time. Upon entry, one is reminded of an aging state-run home for elderly, with the sloppy mint paint with black trim, accompanied by worn and food-spotted carpeting. The booth seats sag and poke under one's butt, sinking so that the table is chin level. It's a poorly lit eatery, lacking any personality north of life, and the menu contains numerous selections, the insert full of misspellings and confusing entries. (Chesser mashed potatoes anyone?) The lady who seated us looked about as worn and tired as the carpeting, with a splash of something wet darkening the front of her grey shirt. She avoided eye contact as much as humanly possible and the iced tea she brought was so bitter, it was undrinkable. Several minutes after being seated, while we watched those around us waiting for their food (oddly enough, although the restaurant was fairly full, not many were eating), our waitress approached to take our order. I asked about the "Cranberry salad" listed as a vegetable option. I was told it was "cranberries and pineapple smashed together"--complete with hand gestures to demonstrate the smash. On a whim of suicide, I ordered it to accompany my broasted chicken and cup of beef noodle soup (the soup listed under the daily specials). My son ordered the hot turkey sandwich with a side of coleslaw. The beef noodle concoction was hardly soup, but a clump of sodden noodles in a paste-like gravy. I couldn't have spotted beef had someone offered me cash to do so. The best thing about the soup was the packaged saltines which accompanied it. During our nearly 45 minute wait for our meal (yes, we timed it), we watched plate after plate come by our table. The standard meal appeared to consist of either french-fries or gravy. Not to be outdone, when my son's hot turkey sandwich arrived, it was white bread with slices of turkey, in between layers of gravy. The coleslaw was bits of cabbage, floating in a vinegary cream base. The broasted chicken, while having a nice crust, was nearly flavorless and the breast meat was close to sandpaper dry. After 45 minutes, I was nearly ready to eat my shoe, and maybe would have been better off to do so. The smash of cranberries and pineapple were so sweet, it would have melted my teeth had I eaten more than the two bites I tried. (One bite was to see how it tasted, while the other was to affirm that the first had been as horrible as I believed it to be.) I never did get my roll with butter that was advertised on the menu (but maybe that was a typo as well?). This little adventure cost me slightly over $15 (not including tip), but I would have been better off going to McDonalds across the street. I hate eating at a place where the thought runs through my mind of, "I hope I don't get food poisoning from this". read more

I had a little time before work so I went for some breakfast with my wife - had the mushroom omelet with hashbrowns. The service is good, but not out of the ordinary and the food is tasty but also standard diner quality food. I think it was decent for the price -$13 plus tip for the two of us. read more

They have a big verity on the menu which I really did like.The staff was very quick and friendly.I hope to return the next time I come back from Katy,Tx read more

I have never had a hot meal at this place. It seems that all of their food is served lukewarm. A lot of older people eat here and I believe that's the temperature they prefer. The food is ok and so is the service. Have only had lunch here multiple times. It's close to work and really there's nothing else nearby. read more

A Great Place to stop in, and have some Excellent Food and Drinks, And a reserved Atmosphere, You have to stop in often, especially if You live in this Area of, York, York Haven, Goldsboro, Wrightsville, West York, My.

This is the worst restaurant ever. The food is terrible. The service is horrible. The prices are ...well I don't think anyone should pay for garbage. Do they even know that vegetable be sides French fries exist...seriously. The only way you could get me to enter that place again is dead. read more

I eat there several times a year; breakfast lunch, & dinner. The food is good, & the prices are great. Hard to beat a mom & pop restaurant. read more

It's just your average Greek diner. Nothing too special, nothing horrible. Lots of old people go there. I got the gyro which was pretty big with a good portion of fries. I paid six bucks, it was decent. The place is kind of like my review. Bland but not awful. read more

Must have BREAKFAST!! French toast is hands downs the best i've had.. no syrup needed. Food is more homecooked and Prices are good. Wasn't a fan of lunch or dinner but breakfast is worth it. read more
