Rounders - Chorlton — Restaurant in Manchester

During Ramadan, my wife and I decided to visit Rounders Fast Food Restaurant in Chorlton to break our fast with their popular Iftar Box last week. However, when we got there, we were tempted by the Hungry Box instead, or I was! and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made!

The Hungry Box was massive, packed to the brim with delicious options: Choice of Any 2 Burgers: We went for the Buttermilk Rounders Chicken Burger and the Rounders Beef Burger. The Buttermilk Chicken Burger was absolutely divine, a crispy buttermilk chicken fillet with a slice of cheese, hash brown, and halloumi, all served in a soft brioche bun with lettuce, pickles, and Rounders signature sauce. Every bite was a perfect mix of crunch, juiciness, and flavour.

The Beef Burger was equally impressive, double smash patty, double cheese, topped with halloumi and hash brown, all nestled in a seeded brioche bun with fresh lettuce, tomato, red onions, pickles, and that signature sauce. It was hearty, flavourful, and incredibly satisfying.

2 Wings & 2 Boneless Strips: The chicken was spot-on—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavour.

4 Chicken Chunks: These were juicy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the sauces.

Loaded Chicken Fries: A generous portion of fries topped with chicken, cheese, and sauce—comfort food at its finest.

Any 2 Sides: We went for gravy and signature sauce, both of which were delicious. The gravy was rich and comforting, while the signature sauce added a tangy, creamy kick to everything.

After a day of fasting, you feel like you can eat anything and everything, but this box was so filling that we barely made it through half! The food was not only delicious but also incredibly satisfying, making it the perfect way to break our fast during Ramadan.

Ramadan is a special time for reflection, gratitude, and sharing meals with loved ones, and Rounders made our Iftar experience truly memorable. The quality of the food, the generous portions, and the vibrant flavours made it a standout meal.

If you’re in Chorlton, Rounders is a must-visit for fast food. The Hungry Box is perfect for sharing, but if you’re not feeling that hungry, their smaller options are just as tempting. We’ll definitely be back, though maybe next time, we’ll opt for something a little smaller! Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving delicious,...

Located on a busy street and limited seating inside so if you want to eat inside you'd have to wait till someone finishes.

Atmosphere seems good and the place is bright/vibrant. Done a nice job with the menu on the screen and the way they've displayed it.

Big menu so they have a variety of options to choose from but I would say its overpriced.

We got the box meal which included a chicken fillet burger, fries, few wings, a side you can choose from so we went for gravy and a drink.

For the burger we asked if we can have it spicy which we got told was fine. But when it arrived it wasn't really a spicy chicken burger it was more of a zinger style which may have been because the box meal contains the fillet burger. The chicken burger wasn't very big compared to other chicken burger places. Regardless, I can say the burger was good, it was full of flavour.

The wings and fries were okay, nothing special. You could tell it was fried in burnt oil, there was a slight bad smell to the fries/wings which had an impact on the taste. The fries itself were bland as they weren't really seasoned and the wings were edible.

Dips are expensive but we thought we'd try out a few. The mango one was very sweet, tasted like Rubicon mango but was filled right to the top. The white ranch sauce they hardly filled the tub, I couldn't even dip my chip in that's how little they gave. Chilli and garlic sauces were good along with the gravy. The inconsistency in terms of the amount of sauce they give was very poor. This should not really be a problem as its a very simple thing to get wrong.

Overall more of a standard takeaway based on the food so it doesn't match what they show you on socials as I had high hopes based on that. Box deals are good and worth the money otherwise be prepared to pay a high price, I think they charge about £2 for a can of drink. Much better places around if you're looking for a burger. BRD Fried Chicken on the same road much better food and alot cheaper.

Pros - ▪︎ Tasty burger

Cons - ▪︎ Don't live upto what's shown on socials ▪︎ Expensive ▪︎ Inconsistent with sauces ▪︎ Seating can...

If you’re thinking of ordering after seeing HDM’s review, don’t make the same mistake I did. I can genuinely say this was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. The food was awful! It took over an hour to be delivered, the chicken was so so dry with very little flavour. The beef burger is one of the worst I have ever had, the entire thing has gone in the bin. As for the chicken wings, strips and nuggets that came with the sharer box, they had no taste flavour and were very cold by the time they arrived. The gravy had a bizarre smell and taste and the cheese dip was cold and clumpy. My biggest and deepest concern is that I ordered an Oreo milkshake but I received something with nuts in it (snickers or forrero rocher possibly). I am the mother of a child with a severe, life-threatening nut allergy, this is just unacceptable. I’m just grateful I tried the shake before I gave it to him. I have no idea how some of these restaurants justify the prices they charge for the quality of food they have to offer and how these influencers get away with promoting such poor poor quality food just to make a few pennies. Do yourself a favour, don’t fall for the hype and spend your money on something that is edible. (Picture attached is of what was left of the meal, and of what went straight...
