Wonderful, greeted by amazing service today right on the get go. The Philly Cheesesteak was absolute wonderful with the well seasoned French fries. Will be coming again soon ! Merci Hopar Jan ! read more

This place will absolutely leave you cheesin'!!! I never knew how to answer "what's your gas station order" until this place. Located inside a gas station, you'll find some delish food. There is one guy manning the register and grill but man does he know how to whip up a cheesesteak!!! Immediately upon arrival, we were greeted and he is super friendly! My boyfriend and I ordered their philly cheesesteak with a side of rice pilaf. The man told us our order would take around 15 minutes, which isn't bad for a good meal! We waited in the car and literally 15 minutes on the dot our order was ready! When I tell you this is the best rice pilaf I've ever had... I mean that ish. It was so good! The cheesesteak was also super delicious. Obsessed. read more

Manchester Philly Cheesesteak - Menu (May 2024) - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Fresno, California

My neighbor asked me if I would like some Mediterranean food. She said she's been wanting to take me here and that they had the softest, tenderest lamb ever. She got me at "Mediterranean food." Which I love and I have my four different spots I frequent around Fresno; I needed a new one. Tacos galore here but Mediterranean? Not so much. I asked her where it was but she kept it a secret. It's at the northwest end of town. And I'm in Sunnyside. So off we go; we pull into a little shop called Manchester Grill burgers attached to a Valero gas station. This is a place I would never have stopped on my own without being told about it or read about it or had it pointed out. Because there are burger, shops everywhere. But this is not a normal burger shop. It is a secret Mediterranean hideaway. With the best darn gyros you will ever have. So while I was contemplating having a gyros wrap and pita or salad or some other combination, my friend said, let me order for you. We ended up getting the plate which is not on the menu and is a little bit more expensive than the items that are posted there. You have to wait because there's only, the owner, and he does everything himself. He's a very jolly man with a thick accent and you can hardly understand him. However he has such a joy and passion for his food and it comes out in what he's cooking. We got our gyros Plate, lamb ground mixed with spices, grilled sliced, etc. sautéed with sautéed onions and zucchini. It was served on a bed of rice pilaf, a salad, and supreme delicious sauce on the side. It was sort of garlic. I'm not sure what that sauce was, but it was pale, beige, and scrumptious. Oh my goodness these are the best gyros I've ever tasted. A lot of gyros because they're roasted are kind of on the dry side. But these were so super moist and tender. The onions were red onions and zucchini were cooked absolutely to perfection with just enough bite and texture. The rice was super plump and flavorful. I had never had long grain rice like that. I was so impressed with the rice which I don't even usually care for rice that much but it was so fantastic, I had to ask/owner what it was. Uncle Ben converted. Who knew. Turns out the owner used to own the Mediterranean restaurant that was at the Manchester mall hence the name of the restaurant or this food joint. He gave it up about five years ago and moved to his current location. Because he downsized, he has limited himself to cooking a menu of chicken, beef, and the lamb gyros. He simplified his menu but is it fantastic. I am going back. Thankfully, I have a regular appointment on that side of town so I will be frequenting this place now that I know where it is and it's close to Hobby lobby and a number of other stores across from that big shop complex. Couldn't be more convenient. It does take a little bit of time to have this meal prepared. He suggested calling ahead if this is what you're going to order. So have it folks - one of the best Mediterranean food places in town. read more

Went in today because I haven't been here in almost 1 year. Not happy at all, the food was spoiled and chicken was rubbery! Very disappointed. I will not be going back. $50 was not worth it at all. read more

The customer service was amazing. The owner/chef/only employee greeted me immediately. He was very authentic and explained the whole menu. I ended up getting a Philly cheesesteak and the pilaf. Both had good flavor although the pilaf was a little oily for me due to the topping which was tasty. The cheesesteak was surprisingly moist although I would've liked if the cheese was a bit more melty. I was the only customer at the time and it was a 12 minute wait although the owner was very transparent about the wait time. Luckily the convenience store is connected so I could look for my beverage while I waited. I'll definitely be back to try something else but definitely satisfied with my visit. read more

If i could i would give this place all the stars in space. As soon as you walk in the door, your greeted with a big smile and a cool sounding voice saying "Hey my Friend how you doing today" He doesn't treat people like customers he treats people with genuine kindness and love as if you were part of his own family. If you know anything about the food industry. You know service like that is priceless. You can't put a limit of stars on that. Again all the stars in space is what I give this place. The food is always made to perfection nice and hot. You will also meet the most friendliest people ever while you're there. So hey my friend once again all the stars in space I highly recommend this place. read more

MANCHESTER Philly-Cheese Grill is located in a gas station, but don't be dismayed. It's a one stop shop, you can get gas and grab grub. I was greeted immediately as I entered-- he was very friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean. 4 tables available if you decide to eat at the establishment. Low playing music in the background and a tv on if you want to enjoy some espn while eating. Ordered Philly cheese steak with fries and a lamb gyro with pilaf. The Philly cheese steak with fries was delicious!!! All food is made to order-- cheese was ooey gooey, the bell peppers and onions were nicely seasoned and the fries had a nice crunch. The lamb gyro with pilaf was very good! The tomatoes and lettuce in the gyro were fresh. The lamb was delicious and the garlic sauce is amazing!!!! I will be a returning customer. So good! read more

Really kind man that works here and makes great food. Only reason I gave 3 stars is because I believe the food is overpriced for what you get. I paid $30 for a salad with beef ‍. read more

Amazing food! Amazing ambiance! And service is amazing! My mom and I loved it so delicious and so nice from all the fast food around. Not to mention it doubles at a liquor store so hey that's cool!! We've found our new spot. the owner is the sweetest and we will be back time and time again. read more

Everything can improve. Way overpriced has no atmosphere wanted an extra $.75 for a little cup of ketchup owner is real cocky nothing special about the place except for the price. Save your money. read more

I've been to this place a handful of times and every time the owner has always been super friendly right from the moment you enter the store. I got 2 orders of the bacon cheeseburger with fries and the wait was about 15 minutes; everything is made to order and it's not too bad of a wait since there's a convenience store attached so you can grab snacks or drinks while you wait. The burger itself was really good, the meat wasn't dried out like at some other places. I got everything on my burger; I believe it came with some type of garlic sauce if I'm not mistaken which made the bun just a bit too soggy so I'd probably ask without the sauce next time but that's not a huge issue. The taste was really good and it was served with crispy steak fries which I loved. There's seating available inside the store which is clean and comfortable but we took our food to go this time. Overall a really good place with excellent food & service. Would definitely recommend and will visit again in the future! read more

overpriced for the amount and quality you get and that man talks too much not returning or recommending!

Sourdough Double Burger with everything & rice pilaf. I hardly ever come for the Philly Cheesesteaks though those can be amazing. I feel this is more bang for your buck. Straight Flavor Town. About 15 minute wait this time. This can Vary Depending on the time of day. Because people do pack this place up at peak hours. 2-4 & 7-9 are sweet spots. Enjoy this when you can! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. This was our first time here. My husband and I got the cheesesteak and our friend got the bbq sandwich. Hubby had rice pilaf and he said it was really good. The sauce on top was amazing. Our friend and I had the French fries and they were so crispy and delicious. The owner was so friendly. Food is fresh made when you order so when you get it it's nice and hot. Will definitely be back again. A little bit of a drive but well worth it. A++++ read more

Manchester Philly Cheesesteak = The love spell has been cast: Listen up peeps of Yelp and clear your bookmarks for some of the MOST delicious food in the Valley. Better than 5-Guys (that don't impress me much, oooo). Up there with Colorado (the one to beat) and beats most other contenders.... Crying good bacon cheeseburger today! Cooked fresh it included some awesome crinkle cut fries and everything, including the bacon, was cooked fresh. The meat was large and beefy tasting, the bun is a work of art and COVERED with sesame seeds like none other. He uses a garlic sauce on the bun, not mayo. It's unique among the burger offerings in the valley. All the toppings were top notch. The flavor was so good I felt (despite not having more room) like pulling the trigger on 'just one more.' Armen, the owner, is also the cook and is super friendly. When asked, he said, "my hours are 9 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week. I've done this for 29 years and that, because I don't have to run a bar or do dishes, like in the mall location, working here is like a vacation." Rarely have I seen someone take so much pride in their food. And it translates into FLAVORS! And speaking of, guys, it's right across the street from Olive Garden and 5-Guys. All the elements come together here and make for a rich, unique, TASTY burger that no one else comes near to. My old favorite, Colorado just got bumped. And while I wasn't that happy about having to drive to this newer area which is 16 minutes away, it was well worth it. I already feel like going back in a few hours.... Flavor me HUNGRY for more! Finally, I don't need to dream about that perfect burger I once had at the Manchester mall, worrying it might have only been a dream, I got/get to experience it again! I'll be diving in on the philly cheesesteak next but that bc-burger is hard to beat. This is a brand spanking new location inside the gas station. It's spotless, roomy, lots of tables and even the music was pleasant and sounded good. Large windows surround. With the help of a imaginary crane, I am jumping up in the air and clicking my heels over that bacon cheese burger! I lied and will have to wait until it digests....and then get a real crane. No mountain too high to transverse for! :) No matter, shutting up now: GET IN THERE AND LIVE because a good burger like I had again today is memory making! -G read more

Everything! Typical gas station atmosphere. Nothing special about this place. Won't even consider coming here again. Mediocre food coupled with mediocre service makes for a disappointing restaurant! Yuk!!! read more

There's something compelling about saying "I just got a really good cheesesteak from a counter shop inside a gas station liquor store." This place is spartan in the way that it doesn't have online ordering and I'm not sure it has a working phone number. The menu has a good number of options and contains sandwiches, burgers, shawarma, and some bowls. The chef and owner is a boisterous man who is meticulous about his food as he is rigid. Other reviews mentioned that he cooks his food a certain way only and I don't doubt that. However, his way is damn good. The cheesesteak was a bit smaller than I was expecting but it was packed with flavor. The cheese and meat were perfect and the bread stayed toasty because it was put on the griddle for a bit. Little pricey for what it was and the fries were meh but the cheesesteak was worth it. Definitely check this place out. read more

Kinda a strange critique, but there was definitely too much cheese on my sandwich lol. I was a little annoyed that he refuses to take phone orders. The rice was good, and I'd like to try the other menu items, because the cheesesteak did not shine. I might be back to explore the menu a bit more? read more

Average at best. Burger is frozen patty and steak is suspect. Rice pilaf is bland too. Too expensive.

Don't buy the silly cheesesteak, that name was on purposes, when I walked in, my gut told me to leave. I made the mistake of listening to the review. Some of you have no idea what a real Philly is. The meat looked like steak um, and dude didn't even cut it up, cooked it as a whole one piece meat. Seasoning was over done. I took 3 bites and threw $12.75 in the garbage. You've been warned. Never coming back to this gas station. read more

Wow! This is by far my new favorite place to eat in Fresno, the quality and freshness of the food could easily cost more than is charged there.

The cook/owner went above and beyond to make all that came feel welcome and warm. We'll definitely be returning! read more

This is what real cooking is with a really talented cook. The best. There is no other word that describes him.

Oooooo Fricken Yes. Wanted something different today for dinner so we went to Manchester Philly cheesesteak. This was the best cheesesteak sandwich I've had in years. The bread was nice, soft and toasted on the inside, Lots of gooey cheese, perfect amount of peppers, meat, ta cheese ratio. Had it with a side of french fries. I love his french fries. Cooked perfect, crispy on the outside nice soft and fluffy on the inside with the perfect amount of seasoning. My son ordered a bacon cheeseburger, he bit into it looked at me and rolled his eyes, it was so good. We will definitely be going back very soon.

Do not go here right when I was in line there was an elderly lady in front of me he was being very rude to her & yelled at her but with us he was being ok but that's not right at all and then we get our food then my mom finds a hair in her Philly cheese steak good thing she opened it before she took a bite! Do not go here! And also the gas station people are rude also! read more

Came here to pick up lunch with my mother. The restaurant is right next to a liquor store/gas station. It's shared. The owner was so darn nice! Very easy to talk to. His name is Armani. Very much makes you feel welcomed. My mom ordered the chicken shawarma for us to split. Armani was singing "nobody goes hungry here" while making our order. Haha. Another customer talked highly about his Philly cheesesteak. Something else to try. He cooked it up for us and we headed home to enjoy it! There is seating there. FYI. It's clean too. The chicken shawarma was really good! Yum! Chicken cooked perfectly. It had a really good garlic sauce. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh also. Really great service! Delicious food! Highly recommended! read more
