Manchester's Grill

Overall Rating: 5.1/10
Located in a neatly arranged setting with a central bar, this grill offers a broad menu and adequate service but struggles with delivering memorable flavors in its dishes.

Atmosphere: 5.1/10
The restaurant's layout with the bar at the center and tables around it is visually pleasing and functional, presenting a basic but clean environment. However, it lacks distinctive features that might make the space stand out.

Service: 5.2/10
Service was friendly yet somewhat inefficient. The host had to clean the table upon arrival, and there was a noticeable delay before the waiter’s initial greeting, which occurred only when the order was ready to be placed from a diverse menu.

Food:

Cheese Pizza: 4.6/10
While the cheese and sauce were of good quality and tasty, the crust was disappointing, resembling an unsalted cracker and detracting from the overall enjoyment of the pizza. This mismatch between the quality of the toppings and the base left much to be desired. The dough tasted like a 1$ frozen pizza.

Bad Dog Burger: 5.1/10
An utterly average burger that neither impressed nor disappointed. The patty, though perfectly cooked, was bland, and the bun did nothing to elevate the dish.

Supreme Nachos: 5.4/10
These nachos showed potential but fell short in execution. The chips were adequately crispy, but the overall dish felt dry. The chili provided a pleasant sweetness, yet the combination of diced chicken and olives clashed rather than complemented each other.

Value: 5.6/10
Pricing was on the higher side, but the portions were generous. There's an expressed preference for smaller portions at a reduced price, which might better align the cost with the food quality and customer expectations

What a wonderful experience!!! Food was amazing, amazing service by Tanya and good decor too. Felt so comfortable and happy. Had the loaded potato skin and Greek pie pizza. Both were crispy, had fresh ingredients and lovely! Super full and couldn’t be at desserts. Will be coming again to try the other items on menu :) and all for reasonable prices!!!

I've eaten at Manchester's many times and have always loved my food. However, the Salmon & Poached Pear Salad that I had a couple days ago brought things to a new level. I have never had such an amazing salad! I was so smitten, I told the owner I'd write a review. I should've taken a picture, but I'll update this next time I go. I must have this salad at least twice a month now.

Update 1/31/23: Added a picture of this glorious dish.

One of my favorite restaurants and pubs in Raleigh. It’s been a neighborhood hangout and a family hot spot for decades.
The bar area has a horse shoe shaped bar with large TVs showing sporting events. Also several booths around the outer wall.

The area to the right of the restaurant’s front door is the dining room with casual dining. The food is great. Offering home made soups, salads, amazing pizza, wings. sandwich’s, steak, pasta and burgers and so much more. I’ve never had bad service or food at Manchesters. The price range is mid priced.

A local hangout for sure with lots of friendly patrons. The staff is wonderful and the service great.

Went to Manchesters after doing our neighborhood costume contest and Halloween party. It felt so good to sit down, relax and eat a great meal. Thanks for a treat, and no tricks, on my Halloween night.... Manchester's Grill.

I can not believe I have not reviewed Manchesters. We went back here about 2 months ago because friends asked us. We had not been here in about 15 years. I'm not sure why, but it was great. We have put them on our regular rotation list.

Update: we use keep going back. Tonight we had the philly cheese steak and the fettuccine alfredo w/blacken chicken. Both were amazing.

I've yet to find something I don't like here. I come once or twice a week. Unfortunately I can't consume alcohol while dining here, but I do get to enjoy the bar atmosphere. All of the staff are friendly, and go above and beyond what's expected. The place is clean and inviting, bathrooms are well looked after. The food is always delicious, service is fast. It's a fairly diverse establishment, staff and patrons. No complaints!

We go to Manchester's almost every Friday. It's our absolute favorite place for casual dining. The prices are spot on and the wings are AMAZING. Best wings for the buck this side of Raleigh!

Great family spot to grab dinner and a nice bar for grabbing drinks. Everything we’ve had has been great!

Incredible menu! This is such a great neighborhood restaurant, with so much for variety. We will be back!

Very pleasant dinning experience. I ordered a pizza which tasted superb. Our waitress was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu, and even recommended her favorite entrees.

I only ever get a veggie wrap to-go and they are delicious. If I'm in the area, I'm stopping to get one. The chips are yummy too. Delicious.

First time visiting Manchester's Grill and I am very happy that we tried them out. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile. We received our order very quickly and our waitress made sure our cups were always filled, our food was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent, very friendly staff! I will definitely visit again.

This is our favorite place!! We eat there at least once a week! Fantastic wait staff and their food is delicious!

Lots of variety on the menu and the food is great! A fun, casual place.

Been visiting this establishment for some time now and have to say we’ve loved nearly everything on the menu. The Chicago style thin crust is our constant go-to, but we’ve since found the chicken tenders, ribs and the creamy chicken pasta to be outstanding. They stay busy and it’s no secret why!

Everything is good here!!
Management is on top of everything here!
Great food and drinks and atmosphere

It was delicious and delightful. First time at that restaurant and is always my reviews public and subject to change. In a nutshell, The environment was great. The staff was wonderful. The wait wasn't that bad even at maybe even peak hours but still was able to be seated. Had a great time and a delicious meal. I'd highly recommend the Reuben. It literally falls and a non weird way into your mouth; like butter. So, I hope that this review gives people a good idea that Manchester's truly united their food and their staff to create an excellent environment at a great price.

Hands down, our favorite local restaurant and pub! Staff are "neighbors" and super accommodating. Isabelle is THE BEST! Food is homemade and just amazing every single time we go. Love, love, love Manchester's!

My best friend and I go there twice a month and love it every single time.
