About Bird of Prey
On Charles St in Manchester, Bird of Prey is a fast food restaurant centred on fried chicken. The menu covers chicken strips, wings and smash burgers that can be stacked high, with chicken and beef burgers alongside. Sides and milkshakes round out the list. Orders are placed at the counter, and the kitchen cooks each one fresh, so service can slow when the room is busy. Sauces are ordered separately rather than included with mains or sides.

Customer Review Summary
Burgers draw the most praise, from the Nashville Hot Burger to chicken burgers with turkey bacon described as juicy, plus beef and smash burgers stacked high. Close behind are the chicken tenders and strips, called excellent, and wings with a great crunch, one with a buffalo sauce a diner rated the best they had tried. Fries, onion rings, mac and cheese and milkshakes also earn mentions, and plenty of seating suits large groups. The recurring complaint is sauce: reviewers say none is included and everything is ordered separately, and one was handed a random set. One found the butter chicken burger a curry seasoned patty that was not crispy, and one notes the fresh cooked food comes slowly. Another found the Damn! Hot Bird burger so spicy that staff offered cheese sauce to take the edge off.

“Amazing food and excellent service! We visited as a large group and ordered a wide variety of items, and everything came out fresh, hot, and delicious. The burgers were especially impressive, and the buffalo sauce was probably the best I've ever had. There's plenty of seating inside, making it a great spot for groups. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant and would definitely recommend it!”

“Stopped here for a quick bite to eat. Counter staff were friendly and helpful. Food was slow but clearly cooked fresh to order so not a criticism just something to be mindful of if you’re in a rush. Lots of seating and some outdoor space too. Clean and tidy. Had the tenders and they were excellent. Would definitely eat here again.”

“Had an early dinner here today, first time visiting and I was pleasantly surprised! The interior is clean and nicely set out, with a few more private seating areas to the right, and lots of clear views to the street outside, though not the largest restaurant. An impressive menu, with a range of different items that would appeal to any foodie, and some interesting combinations that I'll definitely go back for! I ordered the Nashville Hot Burger and Onion Rings as a side, the food was delivered in decent time and to our table by the attentive and helpful server. The food was reasonably priced, around £14 for both of these items, and the portion sizes were on the larger side. The burger was spicier than I anticipated, and I was grateful for the free tap water (with ice!) provided. The menu offered a selection of sauces to go with my side, however I wasn't asked about my choices when at the till, and was given a random set. Didn't bother me, as I didn't want sauces, but heads up that you might have to specify your sauce option unprompted! There are two bathrooms, male/female, and they are clean, sanitary, of a good size, with a working hand-dryer, and fully stocked hand-wash. No odours or uncleanliness. We stayed inside to chat for a little while after our food was finished, and felt no need to rush or quickly leave, as the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. When we got up to put our rubbish away, the very attentive server quickly took our trays from us and saved us the hassle. Overall: a good spot to eat, would recommend for a relaxed and filling bite, and keep an eye out for their 'deals', we just missed a great deal for two people eating in, which would have saved us £5! Looking forward to my next visit :)”

“I was served by the friendly approachable staff: Mohammad, who kindly helped me to eat my Damn! Hot Bird burger, by suggesting and providing me with cheese sauce to take off the edge from the spicy and hotness of the burger. I would recommend this place to anyone.”
