"We went to this restaurant on bank holiday Monday (28th Aug) after visiting both Manchester locations a few times and always having decent experiences. We dined with my wife and two sons (aged 10 and 14). I want to mention that we understand businesses need to make a profit, and we are not hesitant to pay for good food. However, we were extremely disappointed with our visit tonight and regretted going out of our way to come here. The restaurant was dark, dingy, and dirty. The menus were sticky and in need of a clean, and the tables were also dirty. The entire place looked worn out, and the staff looked like they had just rolled out of bed. We had to wait a long time after being seated (despite booking online) just to be acknowledged and order drinks. The food was mediocre at best and way overpriced. We ended up paying almost £100 for the four of us, with nearly £10 of that being a service charge that was not mentioned anywhere. We asked for hot sauce for our fries and were charged a pound for a small pot of some Tabasco-like sauce. This felt outrageous, especially considering the high prices and the fact that most other burger places provide it for free. Considering the inadequate service, the poor condition of the restaurant, and the average (at best) food, these hidden costs felt like a slap in the face. We didn't complain because we are polite, but we definitely won't be coming back. I would advise others to avoid this place."

"I have eaten at this specific Nando’s at least once a week for over 12months now and have always received great customer service until I met a person for the first time today, who I can’t tell whether was a male or female in todays world but the persons name was Amanda and they claimed to be the manager. Upon arrival there wasn’t anyone at the entrance to seat us but as we could see downstairs was busy, my friend took it upon himself to quickly check upstairs to know whether it will be worth the wait and then came back downstairs to confirm there were some tables available. I was then greeted by Amanda as I waited for my friend to come back downstairs and said I am just waiting for him to come down to let me know if there was any tables available, which he then did within a few seconds… but then Amanda clearly didn’t like this and basically told us off like we were little disobedient school children, lecturing us about why we shouldn’t just go and check as they have specific procedures in place where we can only be seated by a member of staff as the member of staff has to ask us if we have any allergies (which for me has only ever happened when I am at the till ordering my food) but also commented straight after to say we wouldn’t do this if it was any other restaurant so confidently and sarcastically like we have known her for years so at that point my friend walked straight out as he felt she was being so rude and disrespectful and it was also embarrassing as customers started to look at us so we just decided to leave and eat somewhere else due to such poor customer service thanks to AMANDA."

"DO NOT EAT HERE! To say this came up on Tripadvisor as one of the best restaurants in Manchester...we were excited to try out Almost Famous whilst in the city. We should have realised when it was dead inside that the food was going to be trash. But we got there around 8.45 and was greeted by friendly serving staff. Although we were going to get the Halloween special (not promoted inside the premises) we decided to go all out on the burgers. I ordered the Blame It On The Whisky burger no jalapeno and gluten free bun. My husband ordered the 'special ' burger on offer no mayo, no bacon mayo. Our drinks came first the Vanilla Mai Thai 's were weak no alcohol detected but we were excited by the look of the burgers on the menu, so let it go. My burger came first so I took off the top part of the bun and picked at the crispy pepperoni THEY WERE COLD. I made a face but kept picking at it slowly as we waited for my husbands food. 8min later his food arrives. He quickly disassembled the burger to ensure there is no mayo even though we were clear with the waitress of our dietary needs. His burger is covered in mayo all over the bottom. Politely we check our order and she sends it back to the kitchen. 5 8min later a new burger is sent to our table with lots of apologies. By this time i 've stopped picking at the meat and reassembled my burger and take a bite. ITS FULL OF JALAPENO 'S!!!! Seriously. As my husband checks his burger from the bottom up no mayo on the bottom. his half eaten chicken wing from the last burger is on top and finds **** bacon mayo inside his burger!!!!! At this point (both of us with chef kitchen experience) can not believe the staff are this incompetent and we tell the staff we are leaving. Mind you there is us and one other couple there is no excuse to be this sub par a chef 's lack of care and attention on a dead night. As I leave the restaurant my chest begins to tighten and my breathing gets shallow and at that moment I realise not only is the chef incapable of making a burger but the idiot gave me GLUTEN!!!! Thank you Almost Famous for almost killing me, nice one. As I recovered my husband managed to find a place still taking orders with 5min to closing KONGS whipped us up an amazing feast of fresh, HOT food, punching with flavour and even though they were about the bed down the kitchen made sure all our diety needs were taken care of. Almost Famous take note we had one night in Manchester and you ruined it I honestly think the second time my husbands burger came back to our table with the bacon mayo and half eaten wing was a purposeful pi take your chefs ego cost you three unpaid burger, un eaten cold fries and inedible wings doused in sauce. We never EVER complain, this is my first time leaving a negative experience review... even if food has been meh but this place ruined our Manchester experience and needs an honest review, a new chef and some in house changes. DO BETTER!!!"
