"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!!!"

Outstanding burgers, the best I’ve had in recent memory. The staff were great and seemed very adept at dealing with the more excited patrons. Prices were reasonable and the restaurant was clean with a great atmosphere.

This restaurant was fantastic. My friends and I went there for a meal to catch up and we were all impressed with the amazing service we received from a lovely waitress named Shannon. She really made our experience special and we enjoyed chatting with her. The rest of the staff were also very kind and attentive. The atmosphere was great and the food was incredible.

What a lovely friendly place. The staff were fab especially Dan A he went above and beyond helping and serving us what a credit to the company. Food was fab, my daughter is milk intolerant and it was good to see a menu where she could order the same as everyone else but they would give her the the alternative- brilliant place would recommend definitely will go back

I ordered food from this restaurant and when I received it, it tasted strange and was cold. After eating it, I ended up with gastroenteritis for over a week due to food poisoning. This is not the first review I have read regarding food poisoning at this popular restaurant, so there seems to be something suspicious about their food preparation. I would recommend avoiding this place completely as none of the food was worth the nine days of feeling sick afterwards.

I went here after work whilst in Manchester on business. I had a good idea that the burgers would be rather special, based on the social media posts. The reality meets and exceeds the social media by some margin. I had the pizza fries and Awesome HQ burger with extra bacon. the food was off the head, and better than the likes of 7bone or libertine burger which are the big street burger players back home in the midlands, The staff were friendly and attentive, with some nice commentary on how the burger looked good and this was indeed correct. the venue itself was clean, tidy and had some really nice yet quirky art. Pricing, whilst appearing a little steep, was more than made up for by the qua...
