I have always liked it here but when I took my mum who is allergic to cheese, I was really impressed. The staff ensured her burger was not grilled on the same grill as the cheesed burgers, and even ensured the chips were not fried in the same fryer as the mac balls. The manager even came over to assure us of what would be done. And all of this was done voluntarly by the staff - all we did was request a burger without cheese due to my mum's allergy and they did the rest!
Seriously awesome service. Thanks guys.
Amazing enough said hahaha, food was by far the best burger ive ever tasted and was there just in time for cocktail hour 3 till 7

Well the food and the cocktails were amazing! The only thing that I did not like were the sizes of the burgers,because from Instagram actually looks bigger than real life hahahaah. And one of the fruits that was on my drink was in a bad conduction! Next time guys make sure the fruits that you put on your consumers cocktails are in a good conditions! Please
There was no table booking so we had half an hour wait for us when we arrived, thankfully there was a bar upstairs!
The good was quite good, we enjoyed multiple burgers, their chilli burger was great but could have been bigger! The food was priced fine but as it was a weekday all burgers were half price, a nice surprise!
Get the 2 for 1 cocktails before 7pm.
Overall I would go again and would recommend it.
Having eaten several of the capital’s finest burgers over the last few months (Honest Burger, Patty & Bun, The Ship etc.) I decided it was about time I made the effort to visit one of Manchester’s highest rated burger joints in Almost Famous. Manchester already houses a variety of specialised burger establishments (Solita, Filthy Cow, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Handmade Burger Co., Five Guys, Byron Burger to name but a few), as well as non-burger places such as Splendid Kitchen and Reds True BBQ that also offer several enticing burger concoctions. However, despite this ‘burger-saturation’, AF (apparently that’s what the kids are calling it) must be doing something right, as of a weekend the queues can be seen spilling out of the door onto the Great Northern Square.
AF is all about a cracking dirty burger with over the top sauces, grease and fat (in the best way).
Our first ever blog post was on the original Northern Quarter Almost Famous . Infact it even provided the inspiration for the blog title as I watched Mrs Nom destroying her Triple Nom burger. Since the original site burnt down the franchise has expanded into Liverpool and are back with a much larger site in the Great Northern by All Star Lanes and Lucha Libre. With queues the norm at the old smaller site, we didn't have to wait at the new larger restaurant. However first impressions were that the cult vibe had been somewhat diluted with the glitzy neon lights, large posters and just general modern chicness completely the opposite of its more humble beginnings. However we would let the food make up our minds. After an lengthy wait of around half an hour our food arrived. We opted for burgers we had never seen before, the butter blood and bleu burger - a double Cheeseburger, rare flatiron steak, chorizo, chillies, peppercorn sauce, mustard mayo and bleu cheese sauce and a Baddaboom - a
We were not disappointed by the second coming of Almost Famous. The food was great, staff friendly and the new shiny dining room looks superb. Northern Quarter, watch out - Great Northern is coming for your diners.
After a couple of nights of drinking I always feel hungry the day after and I'm not after a salad. This time I had a massive hole in the middle of my stomach and it could only be filled with a big f*ck off sloppy burger. But I just knew that any other burger wouldn't do. I had a craving for an Almost Famous. I said in my earlier review that I think these are the best in town.
The Manchester market is totally sewn up now with AF and Solita like the Beatles and the Stones each having their own fans, it's game over as far as I'm concerned, and any new comer has totally missed the burger boat. American chain Five Guys (they have restaurants in London too) have sensibly located their new store in The Trafford Centre, (or as I call it hell on earth), a shrewd move on their part.
I loved the space; it was big and buzzy without being too brash and bold. There were no doorman or attitudy staff – and, although we were quoted an hour’s wait for a table (which was ready much sooner), there was ample space in the bar area to pass the time and enjoy the vibe. The other big plus for me… the serve Ting!
Our first visit, the venue was lovely and stylish, the food was very well priced.
The food. I will not say it was bad because it wasnt, however there were too many flavours all at once for me to handle, causing a migraine. My partner who is a massive burger man, also thought the flavourings were too strong.
My only issues were being charged £2.50 for a can of coke and the 10% service charge.
Never dissatisfied when I come here. Always leave full and content.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Can complain about their service.
Food is excellent. I’ve been many times and never had a bad meal. What burger meat they use I don’t know but it’s spectacular.
Decent choice of burgers and fries and sides
It’s a must visit if you’re near / in the area.
Great little find . Up there with one of the best burgers I have had. Buzzing atmosphere and good service, prices not too bad. Burger cooked to perfection, I had the double patty with steak, simply lush. My son being a vegan was more than happy with his choice. If you want a quality burger with many variations this is the place. Highly recommended.
Super delicious burgers! The triple nom 2.0 and juicy double were amazing! Their sweet potato fries were great too. The lunch time deal 10£ for a burger and fries is really good!
Can't think of how many times I have been here now and every time it has been faultless! Absolutely phenomenal burgers and fries! The quality of service is top quality, the staff are so attentive and friendly you can tell they make sure you have a great time!
Cocktails look fantastic and a brilliant choice of beers and cider!
Kids menu looks good too.
It's a while since I've been to Almost Famous, the menu and cocktails menu is mostly unchanged. Because if it ain't broke why fix it? We were in early and looked after nicely, had a mixture of burgers, fries, tayter tots, cocktails beers and soft drinks and it was all faultless.
Visited with 2 colleagues. We hadn't booked a table but were seated straight away. The waitress took our drinks and food orders and within 15 mins the food had arrived. The chicken burger was a full fillet and cooked well.
After ordering some food tonight, we received it cold due to a mix up with orders. But the staff was very apologetic and remade all of our food, which we were very grateful for! Fantastic service and the food was very tasty when we got it for the second time. Thank you to the staff!
Delicious food! My coeliac husband was also looked after well with plenty of allergen information before ordering. The food was so good and the drinks were brilliant. I can't wait to go back!
Really nice staff and great £10 lunch deal.
Chicken was really tasty, great size burgers and good fries
