    Fabulous place. Loved the graffiti ceiling and the burgers were heaven. Juicy, fresh and beautifully cooked. Will be back.

    Sheffield has these little gems in abundance it seems at the moment…read more The Lucky Fox has a rustic, chilled out feel as per the usual with hipsters. I had the club sandwich, usually that means BLT - but not this was something more special; bacon, cheese, chicken, lettuce, tomato and Parmesan fries. Wow. The beer was a bit expensive, 4-5 quid for a can of something American (Brooklyn, Sierra Nevada etc) - but given the environment, it's not a begrudging purchase. Go there, order the chicken or pancakes and rejoice - don't order poached egg and watercress like my girlfriend, she had serious food envy over mine!

    Popped in here for Sunday brunch and I can't believe I didn't go sooner! Lucky Fox is a small…read more"Brooklyn-inspired" café bringing Americana vibes to the distinctly hip Division Street. Everything from the décor to the beer selection to the bizarre (and admittedly delicious) Lucky Shake does indeed scream Williamsburg. They're open all day, but brunch seems to be what they do best. I enjoyed my waffles and fresh fruit, which had a pleasing cinnamon flavor. I don't like whipped cream much, so I was happy to find out that it comes on the side. My friend had good things to say about her smoked salmon bagel, which came with a solid inch of salmon. The coffee is nothing to trek across town for, but is reasonably priced for the quality. Feeling adventurous, my friend and I decided to go for Lucky Shakes after polishing off our breakfast trays. What a wild ride. Whipped cream, hot fudge, fresh strawberries (see mom? I eat fruit), a donut, and a strawberry milkshake....needless to say, I only had about a third of it before giving up, but what a flavorful third it was. Man, I really need to start eating vegan again. If you're coming here for the novelty of the shake, go light on the food - it could be an entree on its own.

    Friendly staff, loud pop music, but mediocre food. The classic burger patties were far too thin and…read moreplain tasting. The classic fries were seasoned but again nothing special, there was hardly any sweet potato fries in the basket. Go here for the hipness, not the food.

    Living in Portland I thought let's see how the guys in Manchester do a proper sandwich…read more So looking around on Yelp I noticed this place and I have walked by from the hotel a couple of times without noticing there are some restaurants. The old railway building. Thanks yelp for making me aware. They have a lunch special with a selection of burgers and a chicken sandwich for £10 (at the time of this review 07/2023). That includes a side of fries. I noticed every restaurant that you walk In the host will ask you about any allergies or intolerances. If you let them know you're they will let you know what to avoid. Or if they do not know they will send you a manager who knows. There must have been a huge problem with allergies and it is a great way to avoid it. It is, in the beginning, a bit annoying until you realize it is actually a good thing (I wonder if Mcdonald's to the same - I'll might have to try that). So I ordered the chicken burger with a breaded fried chicken breast some black pepper mayo sauce some salad, Onions, and a slap of avocado. WOW - the nicely tasting breaded chicken was fried to perfection and it was a really big piece without drying out. Good job! the "burner" was definitely the combination of chicken and that avocado spread mixed in With the black Peppercorn mayonnaise - an almost perfect bite. The bun was not too big to get in the way of tasting what's important all other ingredients have been fresh and am tasty the fries also fried to a crisp state without being burned. Hands down a surprisingly great burger. Oh, I will be back - the service was five starts as well quick, knowledgeable, and friendly!

    Part of the successful chain of restaurants and nightclubs, Bury's Chicago Rock is a fun place,…read morewhether you're after decent food, a bop to some cheesy tunes, or just a decent cheap drink. By day, Chicago Rock provides a decent menu, similar in scope to that offered by similar chains such as Frankie and Bennies or TGI Fridays. Main courses range around the 8-12 pound mark, and the portions are sizeable - you shouldn't leave feeling hungry! As with these other chains, the serving staff are all about tips and can be a bit in your face, but that's not a bad thing - you'll get all the attention you need, and shouldn't be left hanging round between courses. Starters and desserts are also plentiful and recommended, from garlic bread and appetising meat dishes, to luxury ice cream sundaes and good portions of cakes, there's something for everyone. By night, Chicagos comes alive with the DJ and dancefloor. The bar usually has good promotional offers, such as 2 for 1 on certain drinks, or free drinks between certain times. These attract a wide range of people, from students after a fun night, to older types who might just fancy letting their hair down. The music tends to be a mix of chart music and cheesy dance stuff, with the odd bit of rock and roll, disco and rock thrown in - something for all. The place is quieter in recent months than in its heyday, but it's a decent and generally trouble-free environment. Stag and hen parties usually end up here, and it's often fun to watch the singles prowling ;-)
