This place is closed down. Someone should remove it! Called numerous times and couldn't get…read morethrough. I figured something was wrong when address wouldn't pop up on my. Google maps. Finally did some more looking and found out they've been closed for a year. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to an American breakfast.

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.

Well it is nice to travel and still get a taste of that good American BBQ in places like this. The…read morestaff amazing the food world awarding. I have been to this place twice and have had no complaints yet! 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. Oh did I say bacon YES bless yourself with some of the pig on your next meal here. Great place, food and people. Right across the street from the city center.

Overall, just okay. Being from the states, maybe I'm a little extra choosy with my BBQ…read more I ordered the half rack of ribs with 2 XXL wings - wings were over cooked, so one part of the XXL wing was inedible. 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.

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

not bad fast food place - low price but seem to have wait a long time if you order anything majorread more

Popped in after the city Chelsea game on my walk back to Gotham…read more Initially, the gentleman didn't know If I'd be allowed to sit and order food (without ordering drinks he said minutes later he said it would be fine. (Although their entire rail for both window seating sat empty through the duration of my visit) I ordered the mushroom and truffle oil poutine, their classic burger with bacon and a pint. Poutine was decent, though some of the bites of cheese curds (not traditional squeaky curds) we're still cold through the center .. gravy mushrooms and truffle made the dish decent The burger was quality just overwhelmingly messy and fell apart prior to a few bites in. Also the menu stated briosche buns, and it was served on a sesame bun The fries were quality though be double or triple fried.. I enjoyed them. Would go back as it was recommended to me to give them another round and for more of their food offerings.

Came here back in April this year when it had only recently opened. It is located just off Mosley…read moreStreet, on corner of Booth Street and W Mosley Street. I had heard good things about the Brewski in Chorlton. Brewski sell North American comfort food inc. poutine, Mac n Cheese, Raclette and Deli sandwiches. The place has been featured in things like Lad Bible, and Food Bible. I went for the poutine and it tasted really good! Everyone else in the group had the poutine too and everyone enjoyed it. I want to go back again soon and try their Afternoon Tea - Brewski style. 3 tiers of steak, fried chicken, pulled pork sliders, Mac n Cheese, deep fried Brie, frickles and poutine and more. Plus a G&T pot or pitcher of beer between 2. (All for £25p/p)

I first heard about Moose from a friend who said it was great and wasn't able to try it until later…read moreon ... but since that first try ... I've been converted .. any time I can get into Manchester first 8am I make sure to head to moose for breakfast. Not only do they do a great coffee .. but their Canadian/American style breakfasts are the best I've had. The service is always exceptional and the place is doing so well with more and more places opening up and it makes me so happy. The servers are always so nice, and the food is always so good .. I usually go for the grande bouche (French toast with bacon) or veggie version (no bacon) and it is to die for. You get 2 large brioche french toasts and a very generous serving of real maple syrup and I can't get enough. I usually put some syrup in my coffee and Ooof. The portion is great ... I'm content after eating there .. not hungry and not uncomfortably full so it's just perfect and today we had 3 drinks and 3 meals for just under £10 each ... you can't grumble at that at all. I love moose and will always love moose

Unless they are clueless this is slang for kill Trump (the 47th President). If we weren't with family that we didn't want to embarrass we would have walked out immediately. For a restaurant that advertises as American food it was disgraceful. Food was mediocre.
