Quick info
About Howdy!
Howdy! is an American restaurant at 74A Stanley Grove in Levenshulme, Manchester, themed around the Wild West with detailed cowboy decor throughout the room. The kitchen flame-grills its food, and the menu covers steaks in sirloin and fillet cuts, BBQ ribs and sizzlers. Burgers sit alongside the grill dishes for those who want something different from the steaks. Mocktails are on the drinks list, and water comes in a jug with berries. Birthday celebrations are a common occasion here, so the western setting often hosts a table marking a milestone.

Customer Review Summary
Steak draws the most comment at Howdy's. One child called theirs banging, another diner enjoyed a sirloin, and a filet mignon was cooked perfectly even though it arrived as three small slices. Mocktails come close behind, described as brilliant, lovely and delicious, while a sizzler and the orange sauce also earn praise. Reviewers repeatedly like the fun cowboy theme and friendly staff, and several describe birthdays being celebrated with a surprise. Others found the food uneven. One said the steak tasted of little and the ribs were mostly fat, and another found the taco shells stale and the beef strips on a chicken burger dry. Service gaps recur too, including a table nobody checked on, a slow wait to have an order taken, a dessert menu that never arrived, and a birthday surprise that never happened. When one table raised the stale tacos, they were taken off the bill and complimentary ice cream followed.

“Really great themed place and the food was lovely! I had a sirloin steak and my partner tried one of the sizzlers, both were delicious but next time I also look forward to trying one of the sizzlers too as it was full of different flavours. The decor is really fun and the staff were friendly.”
- Laura Lawson
“Decor and theming is great. Food isnt brilliant. The steak didnt taste of much, the ribs were mostly fat. The burger was fairly nice though. There isnt any alcohol served. Considering we were first into the restaurant for the day we waited nearly 15 mins for our order to be taken. Food took quite some time to come out even though there were only 5 or 6 tables seated.”

“Food is good but disappointed due to recommended to celebrate birthday here and will give a surprise but never show any surprise eventhough told them a birthday celebration for a birthday girl. It would be a nice gesture if they do it. I felt not happy for birthday person.”
- Lauren Wright
“We've just had a brilliant meal at Howdys. The food was excellent, with a great range on the menu and something for everyone. My 12-year-old's verdict on his steak was simply, "It was banging!" Both of my cowboy-loving kids absolutely loved the whole experience and gave it 5 stars. They even scored the service "10 out of 10" because the staff were so friendly, attentive and couldn't do enough for us. The atmosphere was fantastic too. While we were there we saw birthdays being celebrated, and the team really made them feel special. It's actually inspired us to come back with the whole family for a birthday celebration ourselves. If you're looking for great food, brilliant service and a fun, family-friendly place with a lovely atmosphere, I'd highly recommend Howdy's. We can't wait to come back!”
