Manhattan Cafe is a solid, casual lunch spot with good value and plenty of options to choose from. I ordered a panini, which was a bit unconventional; it came on pita bread instead of a traditional hoagie roll. It tasted alright, but the structure made it a little tough to eat since the meat tended to fall out with each bite. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of depending on what you order. One big plus is that they offer French fries instead of defaulting to chips, which already sets them apart from a lot of similar lunch spots. My coworker got a salad and was really happy with it, especially since you can customize it with up to six add-ins. Overall, it's reasonably priced, and while nothing blew me away, it was a good enough experience that I'd give it another try. read more

Tried with a colleague from work. He had the Rachel and I had a turkey panini. His Rachel was excellent A the panini was just ok as they used pita bread for it. Not my favorite. Staff was very helpful - it was crowded but the line moved quick and the food was came out quickly. Large (very large) salad bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good for lunch break and I think small kids will be fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place has quite a few tables and is fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely will go back. read more

I visited three times and tried three different sandwiches: 1) Cajun Chicken - 5/5 very good 2) Chicken Caesar wrap - 3/5 just ok 3) Prosciutto De Parma panini - 2/5 taste was lacking and there was very little on it...Milo's is much better. Service was good and it's a nice place. read more

Manhattan Cafe is located in a shopping plaza with shared parking out front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were several tables located inside of the business when dining in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the opportunity to meet the owner and he was very friendly. The staff were also nice. I was greeted when I entered & placed my order at the counter. A short time later my food was brought to our table. I ordered the buffalo chicken quesadilla with fries and a fountain drink. My food was served hot and tasted good. My quesadillas were stuffed with chicken. My fries were seasoned well. My meal came with multiple sauces including sour cream and salsa. I would definitely order this meal again on my next visit. read more

It only took one visit for me to be hooked on this place. I saw the menu and reviews and was immediately intrigued- I also LOVE a good sandwich spot so I was excited to try. I got a chicken caesar wrap and also made a build your own sandwich for later. The chicken caesar wrap was SO good and actually one of my favorite caesar wraps I have had in the area. I'm not sure what sauce/dressing they used but whatever it was is sooo good and flavorful and completed the wrap. My build your own sandwich was also made perfectly and I enjoyed every bite. They gave me a free cookie for my first visit here and the cookie was also soft and yummy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The employees were friendly and there was plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I already know I will be a regular here based off this visit alone! I can't wait to try the paninis and other sandwich options. read more

Customer service is out of this world and to add to that, so is the food. We ordered to Turkey Cuban and BYO sandwich with a side of fries. All food was phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and toasted! Fries are crispy and thin almost like McDonalds! Would absolutely recommend :) read more

I enjoy going up to NYC and specifically lower Manhattan at least a few times a year so when a new location of this Manhattan Cafe opened up I was interested in making it a normal lunch stop. The staff has been great and really should be congratulated for being friendly and accommodating. The various sandwiches on the menu are pretty good for what they are, the staff plates them well and you can get in and out with your lunch quickly. Prices are in line or a little better considering the type of food and the area so no complaints there. As far as the decor it is clean and welcoming. Actual Manhattan doesn't have as much graffiti anymore (believe it or not) but it's fair share shows up and there's the Houston Bowery Wall in the east village which this restaurant interior reminds me of. Plus it has nods to lab work and things that are relatable in the triangle. As far as the menu not a lot here really sticks out as being strongly NYC themed. They have a prosciutto di parma which is Italian, fair enough for a NYC sandwich (Spelled "Prosciutto de Parma" on the menu). Possibly the slight misspelling may be if they are using typical prosciutto and not the actual parma ham? To me whatever they are using here isn't dry cured long, I'm pretty sure the di parma ham is actually aged almost twice as long as others. Also they have no pastrami on rye (yes I asked the staff) which is about as New York City a food as a dirty water dog or bagels with Iox. I think the staff continuing to be great is what will set this location apart as there's not a lot of walk-in foot traffic like downtown. If you're in the area it's a good spot to grab a lunch and I wish them nothing but the best! read more

This was a new discovery and I'm so glad I didn't just go to a drive-thru for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is casual and fun thanks to colorful painting on its walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food selection had plenty of choices and was fresh and delicious. Prices are very reasonable and best of all, is the friendly staff. and btw, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restrooms are bright and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Manhattan Cafe is serving up a variety of menu options that can, hopefully, satisfy everyone you are with. Create your own pasta at the pasta bar, your own salad from the salad bar or choose one of their sandwiches. I tried the smoked turkey & brie and enjoyed it. I'm glad that they have a second location in Morrisville now. read more

We stopped here for lunch, service was fast and sandwich/soup options were simple but great tasting. Really enjoyed the Buffalo Bacon Sub.

Fast and efficient service. Excellent food and a very friendly and helpful staff. We will be back when we are in the area

I was here visiting the area and trying to check out what NC had to offer and this place was right next to my airbnb. Solid spot but nothing jumped out to me as spectacular. Ambiance: 4/5 - Nothing really wowed me here but it was a solid place that had inviting decor. Price: 5/5 - Being from the northern VA area the prices here were fantastic and they had a lot of promos going on where they give free fries or a free drink. I felt they were very reasonable. Food: 3.5/5 - I had the tuna panini and it was a solid lunch to have. I've never had tuna in a panini so it was interesting but I do think that the texture of the tuna just didn't work for me in the panini thats all. Service: 5/5 - Fantastic service and everyone was super friendly here. Made me almost want to move to NC based on how nicely they treated me! read more

Update: I appreciate an owner who takes the time to read reviews. I don't need the unsolicited advice on how to go about doing what I do going forward. That said, my review of Manhattan Cafe wasn't a bad review. 3 stars to me is average...sorta like a "meets expectations" in a performance review. To rate a 4 or 5 star, your food and service better be outstanding and memorable. The food was not to my personal taste but that doesn't mean others will feel the same. You have a great location and I'm sure being at RTP, you'll do well. I didn't think the food was outstanding nor did I think that of the service. End of story. This recently opened in RTP near the WalMart on 54. Being from NY, I was looking forward to a good sandwich from a place called Manhattan Cafe. The graffiti themed decor was pretty cool & there was lots of seating inside. Service was ok...it's quick serve so you order at the counter then pick up when called. Food-wise, it didn't do it for me. Both the Prosciutto de Parma panini & the Chicken with Fresh Mozzarella on ciabatta honestly would be much better as cold sandwiches. They were both lacking in flavor overall. Chicken is usually pretty neutral flavor wise unless well seasoned & when you add a neutral tasting cheese like mozzarella, you need something to give it a bigger punch. The pesto mayo was also bland & didn't add much to the taste. It needed a stronger basil flavor & maybe a vinaigrette to liven it up. Same with the prosciutto panini. Part of the beauty of prosciutto & fresh mozzarella is the texture. Heating it changes that completely & it didn't work for me in this case. The Turkey BLT on the other hand was pretty good. I'm sure business is great in this location due to the proximity of RTP but I probably won't be making a trip back. read more

I had lunch here with my friend and we got to try a lot of different menu items, so let's get into some of my favorite bites: * The Chicken Salad Melt - Y'all the pita bread used for this panini melt is so soft and delicious, which paired perfectly with the chicken salad, bacon and cheese. Dipping it in the chipotle sauce was literally the cherry on top - hands down my favorite! * DTR Chicken Sandwich - This sandwich was PACKED with sliced chicken and was topped with bacon, cheese, shredded lettuce and tomato. The bun was lowkey the star of the show - it was so soft and buttery. * Philly Cheesesteak - We were there on Philly Friday, so you know we had to try the cheesesteak. Now I will say that I'm not super picky about cheesesteaks like a lot of folks, so I thought it was flavorful and enjoyed it! It's important to note that Manhattan Cafe is a strictly a lunch spot! They are open from 11am-3pm Monday-Friday. read more

Okay sooo happy I just found a great new work lunch spot! I was so pleasantly surprised by this place! I love the cool ambiance and graffiti when you walk in. They did a great job with the space. The menu is extensive and has anything you could want in a lunch: soup, salad, sandwich! I opted for a cheeseburger and potato salad. The cheeseburger is like a smash burger with tons of cheese and a special spicy Mayo and it was heavenly. The potato salad was fantastic and exactly how I like it with a yellow mustard and Mayo base. I know it's called Manhattan cafe but the potato salad ranks up there with many southern style potato salads I've had at family reunions #iykyk! The cashiers were super friendly and the prices were good as well. I'll definitely be back. read more

Large selection of sandwiches. Picked up a cajun chicken sandwich to go. Great and friendly service!

My first time there, I ordered the Greek salad to go. The lettuce and cucumbers were waterlogged and limp. It was tasteless and very unappealing. I was very disappointed as I was told by a friend to try this place but he had not tried the salad. read more
