Burger & Co — Restaurant in Manchester

During a recent visit to Manchester after an extended absence, my brother and I found ourselves in the grips of a considerable appetite, specifically craving burgers. After perusing several options, we decided to explore what set Burger and Co. apart from the competition.

Upon entering, the establishment's décor immediately set a promising tone. Adorned in vibrant orange and black colours, the ambiance was both inviting and lively. The prominent slogan, "The Real King of Burgers," boldly captured our attention, though it would soon prove overly ambitious. Décor-wise, the setting earned a solid 4/5.

However, our initial enthusiasm was somewhat dampened by the service. The absence of traditional menus, replaced by digital displays over-head at the counter, created a somewhat impersonal ordering experience. Additionally, our server's lacklustre demeanour and monotonic delivery contrasted sharply with the otherwise vibrant environment. While the order was accurately taken, the overall service experience was underwhelming, meriting only a 1.5/5.

After an awkward staring of the screens, I ordered the “Hulk Burger” and my brother ordered the “Pandemic Burger” and finally, we both ordered the “Loaded Chipbox.”

As for the food, the "Loaded Chipbox" we ordered presented a mixed bag. The fries themselves were crisp and well-seasoned, but the decision to top them with raw onions was a misstep, as caramelized onions would have significantly enhanced the flavour. Moreover, the portion of chips was disappointingly scant, as if just a small handful was used, leaving this dish with a score of 3/5.

Turning to the main event, both the "Hulk Burger" and the "Pandemic Burger" fell flat. As I bit into the Hulk Burger, the initial visual appeal quickly gave way to disappointment. Both burgers suffered from a severe lack of seasoning, making the patties taste bland and uninspiring. The texture was the only redeeming quality, yet it still felt like eating a flavourless banana. Collectively, the burgers were woefully inadequate, earning a dismal 1/5.

Manchester boasts a wealth of excellent burger joints, offering a plethora of delectable and expertly crafted options. Unfortunately, Burger and Co. falls significantly short of these standards. With a need for profound improvements in flavour enhancement and service quality, the establishment currently stands far from deserving its self-proclaimed royal title. Overall, Burger and Co. earns a mere 2/5....

I don't often leave a review but I really don't understand some of the bad reviews on here about this place so I felt I should.

I ordered UberEats and pressed order before I read the reviews so was very worried about what was going to show up and wether it would arrive at all. I called to check on when they estimated it would arrive after reading worrying reviews and a nice lad answered the phone and said it set off 10 mins prior, and sure enough, I had a knock at the door 5 minutes later.

It was easily one of the best burgers i've eaten (Pandemic burger), chicken was succulent, the burger wasn't dry like they often are and the cheese was completely melted upon arrival, although I wish they'd say on the menu it had spicy sauce and offer the option to remove it. I was surprised at how huge the portion of fries was for the only £3 extra 'meal' option and a drink. The fries were very tasty too.

The packaging was all paper or foil which is nice too.

I also ordered popcorn chicken but was disappointed as they seemed over done and extremely crispy (maybe to some's taste but not mine) and with a very small portion for £4. Waffle was edible but definitely wasn't as nice as many other desert places so i'd say if you're ordering desert- order it from somewhere else or maybe eat it the second it arrives would make it better as leaving it for half an hour whilst you eat your main isn't ideal and may have had an effect on the taste. Although I have eaten waffles from kaspas and other like places from the fridge the next day and they've been better...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Burger & Co., and let me tell you, it was a truly fantastic experience! I ordered The Hulk burger, and let me just say, this juicy and filling burger did not disappoint. The patty was cooked to perfection and the toppings were deliciously fresh. It was truly a burger-lover's dream come true.

In addition, I also tried the Fry-yay chipbox, which was like loaded fries on steroids. The taste was simply amazing - loaded with chicken, cheese, and some spring onions - it was the perfect complement to my burger.

But the real star of the show was The Pandemic burger. This unique creation consisted of a beef and chicken patty mixed together, and it was a completely new and delightful experience for me. The flavors were perfectly balanced and I loved the texture.

Unfortunately, The Vaccine shake I ordered could have been better, as it was a bit of a letdown. However, this minor issue did not take away from the overall amazing experience of dining at Burger & Co.

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a top-notch burger joint. The burgers here are truly mind-blowing, and the atmosphere and service are second to none. Don't hesitate to give this place a try - you won't be...
