  “Our first visit here. You place your order at the counter and the lady staff was ever so miserable and had no manners at all. She kept asking for the table number but there was no table number. Since my friend ordered before me, she brought back a stand with a number so the lady staff took that number as the 'table number.' So why bothered asking for one if your table number system doesn't even exist? I ordered Algerian flavour chicken tenders with house slaw and spicy rice. Price was reasonable and the portion was generous. Presentation was good for social media but the quality of food was absolutely poor. The 5 chicken tenders were literally buried under the 'Algerian sauce' which consisted of chopped onions in tomato mayonnaise. The worst was that the chicken tenders were really dry and chewy like they have been deep-fried few times and kept warm. I had to scrape the 'sauce' one side and separate the chicken flesh from the batter or else I was going to waste my time searching for the actual chicken. The two sides weren't any better. The house slaw was sickly rich with whatever dairy product they used (couldn't tell if it was mayonnaise or yoghurt) for the dressing and the spicy rice was oozing out oil and it was not spicy at all. Definitely my last visit.”

  “Dynamite checked was good. The burgers were average. The yellow sauce on Korean loaded fries didn’t match the overall taste and not edible.”

  “The atmosphere and the food was soo delicious. The chicken tenders were soo juicy and tender. The flying Dutchmen was kinda let down but nonetheless it was still great.”

  “We came to this restaurant on recommendation of a Manchester local and honestly was kind of disappointed. We were seated fairly quickly, which is great, but then the expectation is here to go up and order which isn’t too bad. We got some burgers and we also got some Korean fried chicken loaded fries. The burgers were actually pretty good kind of saucy in a bit messy to eat, but still really good. That being said, the fries were very large and that generally wouldn’t be an issue except for the fact that the Korean fried chicken itself tasted kind of funky. It had this sort of sour taste that honestly did not appeal to either me or my wife. We honestly hate wasting food, but we couldn’t even eat it. We just had to toss it. Plus, the meal was pretty expensive so while I would like to give them a second chance, I don’t think we will. Also, some of the workers were just sitting by the cash register talking, and they were kind of in the way when we were trying to get like utensils and tissues, which is kind of not nice.”

  “The burger was amazing I couldn’t believe how delicious the brisket was. The customer service could have been warmer, but it was efficient and smooth. Just didn’t feel very personal. The atmosphere wasn’t too loud. The toilets weren’t that clean either. The biscoff milkshake was also perfect.”

  “Place and vibes is great however chicken loaded rice was fantastic 5/5 but the brisket fries genuinely makes you feel so sick. It is way too sweet for a savoury dish. Definately should add less sauce and make the salad be raw red cabbage rather than sauced garlic red cabbage it would be more authentic, tasty and more importantly less sickly for a brisket. Brisket fries 1/5 overall food 3/5”

  “Safe to say, no regrets for dining here Went for the Korean crispy fried chicken wings with peri fries. I’ll be honest, I was bracing myself for something overly sweet… but nah, these had proper depth. Big flavour, no sugar overload — and by the end, I was actually glad they didn’t go down that route. Fries? Hot, crispy, and seasoned like someone actually cared. Always a win. Yeah… I’ll be back. No question. And I was only 5 days later to bring family”

  “Pick a table and either order food via app or go up to the tills. Chicken was great, flavour was excellent and well cooked. Burger was even better, smashed patties were cooked really well, caramelised around the edges, and good quality ingredients and bun.”

  “Good place to eat. We had dynamite chicken which was delicious. Tasty burgers. Loaded brisket fries were good but if more meat was Added then it would be perfect.”

  “Absolutely love this place! The brisket burger is a solid 10/10, and the food always comes out piping hot and super quick. Even when it’s really busy, they still manage to serve everything promptly. We’ve been here a few times now and it never disappoints — definitely recommend!”
