Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the Awesome HQ burger, praised for its sauces and firm, tender patties, with the bacon fries and their signature sauce named as a standout alongside it. Close behind, one diner calls the chicken the best in a long time, and others single out the Phoenix, the Blood Butter Bleu, the double beef burger and the mac n cheese balls. Service is described as quick and friendly, with one parent thanking staff for looking after a small child and another seated, fed and out within an hour. The main caveat is value and size. Several say the beef tasted ordinary for the price, one found the burger smaller than expected, and another felt the loaded fries were skimped and the wings super small. A few call it good but not a wow, and one found the chips a bit hard. The lunchtime single patty burger with fries and a drink is mentioned as a bonus.

“Great find in Manchester. Seating inside and outside. Went for the burgers and a bonus of a lunchtime special of single patty burger off the menu with fries and a drink for £12. Total bonus!! Lovely staff and food was very very tasty.”

“I popped in here for a bite, and while the burger was nice, it didn't quite give me that 'wow' factor. If I'm completely honest, there are better burger spots to be found in Manchester, but this is still definitely an above-average place. A massive plus was the service, which was incredibly quick! However, the burger itself was a bit smaller than I’d anticipated, which made the whole meal feel a tad on the expensive side for what you actually get. That being said, the sweet potato fries were absolutely lovely—super fresh and perfectly fried. I didn't get a chance to try anything else on the menu, but overall, it’s a solid, above-average spot to grab a decent meal.”

“Always love almost famous, it’s the og ever since it started at great northern so shame it’s gone now. Everytime I go I get the awesome hq or blood butter bleu as its meat overload, the loaded fries are good too but feel they have skimped out a little on them. Only con is the wings are super small. Service is good and atmosphere is chill for evening drinks and food.”
- Karl Nightingale
“Great good. Great service from Leo. Burgers were flavourful and very filling. Mac n cheese balls are a must if trying Famous! Quick service too. From being seated to eating to leaving in an hour. Exactly what you want! Will be calling again!”

“I tried their double beef burger, and overall it was a good experience. The burger was tasty, the service was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would rate the food, service, and ambiance 4 out of 5. It’s a solid place with good-quality burgers, but it wasn’t quite a ‘wow’ experience for me. Still, it’s worth trying”
