Bunny Jacksons — Restaurant in Manchester

We came here yesterday as a small group for the Bottomless Bunny offer which is a little bit vague to say the least. Nowhere on the website does it mention the limitations of the offer, such as what flavour wings you can get, what drinks are available, or for how long the offer lasts (which is 1 hour and 30 minutes). Nobody informed us when we made mention of partaking in the offer of these restrictions either. It was our first time, so we were a bit clueless as to how things worked.

When we went to the bar to order, we were met by an incredibly unpleasant bartender (light brown hair, mullet-y style) who had a disgusting attitude towards my friends and I. The music was loud and there was quite a bit of distance between us and the bartender, so that made communication a little tricky. Whilst I understand that it can be frustrating to repeat yourself, I don't think it's justified to have a stinking attitude towards customers, especially when we were being polite to him. When my friend asked again what drinks we can get under the Bottomless Bunny offer (which is daquiris and house lagers), he said "I just said that" in an extremely patronising tone.

My friend and myself have worked in hospitality for just shy of three years and were shocked and disgusted by his response. I was very close to asking for a refund and leaving, but I wanted to give Bunny Jackson's a chance because of the good things I had heard. That bartender's attitude really soured the mood for us and we actively avoided being served by him because we didn't want our afternoon to be ruined even further.

That being said, the wings are great (I'd rank them a solid 7/10). I personally like the buffalo and classic (plain fried). The BBQ wings are nice but a little bit too cinnamon-y for me. I'll go back to try the other flavours and sides, but I'll make sure to avoid that bartender if I see him again. The commis waiters who brought the food were pleasant, which was a relief after that awful interaction.

In short, great wings, cool venue, terrible service from the bar (the other bartender who served us wasn't so friendly either, but at least he wasn't so obvious about it like the one I've been talking about in this review), slightly too loud to have conversations with others, and lacking quite a bit of information re: Bottomless Bunny both online and in person. I'll come again, but it's only because I'm a fiend for wings. If I'm met with the same foul attitude by the same guy, I'll revisit this review and edit...

I was clearly racially profiled by the bouncer and discriminated against when trying to enter the bar for some food.

My partner (Caucasian male) and I (Chinese female) did some shopping first then he wanted to take me to bunny Jackson’s cuz he previously really enjoyed the food there. He has been there several times with his mates (all Caucasian males). He always carries his backpack with him and always got grocery in the bag. He was never checked previously when he went there with his mates.

We got to the door and the bouncer stopped us and demanded to check our bags for drinks.

He demanded my partner to empty his backpack and took out the several milk drinks we bought from supermarket. He said the rule demanded us to leave those drinks at the door or we were not allowed to go in.

I reassured him that we would not drink those drinks in the restaurant and we will buy drinks at the bar. He insisted that we had to leave the drinks on the bench outside the property if we want to go in.

It’s a busy Saturday evening and it is Halloween. So many people around, how can I be sure that no one would touch my drinks/spit on them/drug them when I go eat in the restaurant? Is Bunny Jackson going to take legal responsibility if anything happens to my drinks and consequently to me?

Why was my partner never been bag checked previously when he went in with his mates (all Caucasian males)? But this time with me, we got bag checked thoroughly just to go in the restaurant to have food? If this is an actual rule, does Bunny Jackson check everyone’s bag before they go in regardless of their ethnicity?

If you don’t want to be racially profiled and discriminated against, don’t go to Bunny Jackson’s. They don’t welcome everyone.

If you don’t want to be...

From 11/10 to 3/10 - What Happened to the Wings, Bunny Jackson’s? I never thought I’d write this.

Bunny Jackson’s used to be the holy grail of wings in the UK! An unbeatable 11/10 every single time. I’ve raved about it to friends, brought people here to share the experience, and always left planning my next visit. The 25p wings were legendary, not just for the price, but for the insane flavour, juicy meat, and that unmistakable Bunny’s magic.

But recently? Something’s changed. And not for the better.

Yes, I noticed the price increase. It’s now £2.50 for 6 wings. Honestly? I’m not fussed about the price. Things go up, I get it. But when the price goes up and the quality drops? That’s where you lose loyal fans.

A few weeks ago, I came back, excited as always. But the wings? Dry. Bland. Lacking that punchy, crave-worthy flavour I used to demolish 10+ of in one sitting. I thought, “Okay, maybe they just had an off day.”

But no, I came back again, hoping it was a fluke. And it wasn’t. Same underwhelming wings. And that’s when it hit me: Bunny Jackson’s wings went from being my #1 go-to to something I couldn’t even finish. Three wings in, and I was done. Heartbreaking.

Right now, I’d rate them a 3/10 and that hurts to say. From a place I couldn’t stop recommending to one I can’t even return to for wings anymore.

To whoever’s reading this, especially if you’re in charge: Please bring back the old Bunny’s wings. Bring back the fire. The flavour. The obsession-worthy quality that made this place a cult classic. Your loyal fans want to keep loving you, but the wings need to be worth coming back for.

Don’t let Bunny’s become just another bar with average food. You had lightning in a bottle, we’re just asking for...
