    Have dined here on previous occasions and things have been ok but yesterday sevice was slow even for drinks ....the glassware was dirty the table didn't have enough cutlery but we struggled to attract the attention of waiting staff. Portion sizes were less than normal too. It was an ok experience but definitely had better and paid less, with better service.

    We were seated quickly. The music level was a little loud. The bar had RUN OUT of low alcohol beer which was ridiculous. Only option then was a soft drink and when we asked for a refill later on it didn’t arrive, so had to ask again. Isn’t that the point of table service, you order they bring it, shouldn’t be forgotten. The food was tasty but very expensive. For 4 of us the bill came to over £100, for 4 burgers and fries and 6 soft drinks. Won’t be going back.

    Delicious burgers but disappointment the price doesn’t include fries but one portion is big enough for two to share at least. I’d definitely recommend though!

    Had a lovely time there only issue was there was a few items out of stock due to the bank holiday. However can’t fault the staff they were lovely. My daughter had an accident and fell and banged her eye when we came out. When we went back in for help staff were fantastic and got her an ice pack for her eye and an new lollipop due to dropping hers, thank you

    First timers to Almost Famous - and loved it. Has to be the best burger I’ve ever had - not normally a fan- but loved it and the loaded fries. Staff were great, able to explain menu and recommend. Attentive and kept an eye on empty plates glasses etc and didn’t have to wait to get someone’s attention to get another round. Would definitely come again

    I get that you’re dining in a restaurant so the food will cost more… But for the price you’re paying I would much rather head over to Burgerism! Better burgers.. miles better fries.. and better prices.. Once you have a better burger nothing else really compares I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m not hating… but you AF just need to up their game.

    This was our first ever visit to almost famous and I can say we will certainly be coming back. The burger was amazing the bacon fries were outstanding. And the beer was great. Value for money for 3 people was great. The server was very good and courteous.

    Amazing food and drinks. We had seen pictures online which drew us in and we were not disappointed. The burgers exceeded all expectations and as a table of 4 we ate in silence, all enjoying our burgers and fries. Would definitely visit again when next visiting Manchester, please open up a restaurant in London!
