About Rocco’s Chicken
Rocco's Chicken is a fast food restaurant at 586 Stockport Rd in Manchester, built around chicken burgers. The spicy chicken burger comes as a meal with chips and a free dip sauce, and the chips are sprinkled with red salt. Double stacked and spicy double burgers sit alongside it on the menu, and chicken tenders cover the lighter end of the range. Gravy chips and cheesy chips are options for those who want their sides loaded. Seating runs across the ground floor and upstairs, which gives groups room to eat in. Staff call out order numbers when food is ready.

Customer Review Summary
The spicy chicken burger is what most reviewers come for, with the double stacked and double spicy versions also named, and several praise the generous portions, the soft bun, the batter-coated chicken in spicy sauce and crunchy chips with red salt. Gravy chicken chips and wings get praise as well, though one reviewer says the wings are often out of stock. Opinion on the salt and heat splits sharply: one diner could not finish a double spicy burger because it was too salty, while another loved it extremely salty. Service draws the most complaints. One reviewer reports 16 unanswered phone calls and a long wait with orders called out of sequence, another found a double burger with a single fillet, and a regular says staff chat while customers wait. One reviewer reports a broken toilet and rubbish carried through the kitchen, and says they were ill within hours of eating, without knowing the cause. Others find the upstairs seating hot, and the cheese burger and cheesy chips disappointed. Reviewers describe the place as very busy.

“Staff too busy chatting and giggling away with each other while customers wait to order. Drove to roccos 25 min drive Ordered double burger came back home and found only a single fillet in the burger. But charged for full. Defintely wont be going again. There food has always been good but the service getting shitter & shitter day by day unfortunately. Manager/Owner needs to have a word with the staff get the service on point. Regular customer.”

“Best value spicy chicken burger in Manchester. Quick service, staff are friendly and portions are generous. Ignore the daft comments from people who've driven from Birmingham for a £5.90 chicken burger meal and decided it wasn't worth it. It's a great Chicken spot.”

“Not as good as the hype unfortunately, and honestly I would not visit again. The spicy dipped burger is decent. The tenders are also decent. Spicy is too spicy 🥵 but you might enjoy that (read further comments BELOW). The cheese burger was a complete and utter waste of money, it's not a smash or premium patty, standard burger you can purchase and make yourself. Service OK for a busy place and sauces included for free but no napkins? Sloppy. When I requested napkins, he put about 3 in total! What's the point. Upstairs seating is hot, maybe due to ventilation and heat from kitchen below. 🔥 Don't sit upstairs. The toilet was broken as well but the staff room had a toilet and sink so you can wash hands at least. Not the most sanitary place. Staff were taking rubbish from the restaurant into the back but through the actual kitchen and cooking area. 😩 🤢 BELOW I've been toilet 💩 6-7 times since I have eaten here which is less than 14 hours ago. I don't know if that is due to food being too spicy or picking up some food poisoning (undercooked?). I am speculating but either way, I wish I avoided to be honest.”

“The worst burger I have ever tasted. I actually, truly don't know what the hype is. I especially came from Birmingham to try this but it truly was a waste of money. I ordered a double spicy burger. It was so salty that I couldn't eat more than half, even that I forced myself as I paid money. But seriously, reduce the salt by a lot please.”
