Alabama's All American Eatery

This place is closed down. Someone should remove it! Called numerous times and couldn't get through. I figured something was wrong when address wouldn't pop up on my. Google maps. Finally did some more looking and found out they've been closed for a year. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to an American breakfast.

This location is closed. No longer in buisness. Aparently i need 85 words...........

They are closed! No longer in business. Tried going there and them being closed made us miss our bus tour of Manchester.

I really wish this place opened in the evening.. from Monday to Thursday it closes at 3pm and other days 5pm this is why it's taken me so long to eat here!!

After a heavy night I took my friend here for brunch. On the outside it looks closed. Walking up the stairs exposes a open kitchen and large seating area with cacti everywhere and a cool kat clock over looking the place.

The service was enjoyable from start to finish..90 percent of staff including the chef looked genuinely happy to be working there dancing to the music smiling as they cooked and served. It gave it a buzz!

The menu consists of well..a American diner..from the special board I chose the maple pecan nut shake and the Benny crab cakes.. my friend had the spinach and poached eggs dish with fresh mint tea.

The Shake was huge and yummy and while I waited for my food I kept seeing indulgent stacks of pancakes being whisked away.

My poached eggs were oozy and perfect and the crab cakes.. well very crabby! And rich..to break it up there was water melon on the side which refreshed the palette. My friend really enjoyed hers too.

I really want to come back here :( please extend your opening times!!

I've been here a good few times now and have to say the idea of yet another 'Americana' themed restaurant was registering about 1% on the excitement scale but this place actually gets it right - plus they're putting this part of town on the map by trying to link the NQ with Piccadilly so it's all good with me.

The pancakes and waffles are what I've had each time and they sort you out big style but there are plenty of other options for any time of the day.

The staff here are super friendly too, plus decor is tasteful as opposed to in your face - recommended!

Going with the all-American theme, I think the staff in here may quite potentially be the most gung-ho helpful I have encountered in quite some time. Seriously like, SO. NICE. And not even too nice. That nice that's so nice that it's even impossible to disagree with.

Now that's all well and good, but ya gotta have the goods to back up the niceness. They have it, in spades.

1. Decor. My favourite type - mid-century atomic style with a nice contemporary twist. Feels quirky without being overtly so, and homely too.
2. Food. WOW. I foolishly was trying to be healthy so I got an omelette. I asked for avocado and pulled ham with it - both came in bowls that could have been shared between five people. Every table I looked at had something more delicious on it. Next time I'm going for the French toast. Or the waffles... Or..
3. Did I mention the staff?

Couldn't give this place less than 5 stars, absolutely lovely on all counts.

By far my favourite aspect about Alabama's is that it's not trying too hard to be 'American Style' it doesn't feel like one of the bandwagon American burger or hot dog joints popping up all over the city. It's just casually American or you could say it has a more intelligent nod to Americana in it's decor and attitude but maintain's a Northern attitude. Like the straight out of Mad Men 1960s Piccadilly Station print on the wall, the wooden star clock on the opposite wall or the red light shades.

We went for breakfast and the selection was familiar but pleasantly different. With selections of classic breakfasts which could be Americanised with Texas toast for e.g. (I didn't see any grits which I'd love to see their take on).

I had the Eggs Benedict with Ham Hock, it's one of those dishes which is a great judge of a place as it only has a few ingredients any one of which can disappoint. Alabama's was spot on. In fact I'm thinking that the ham hock possibly works better than streak bacon which I hate myself for saying, but it's less salty and gives it a more rustic homey feel. Which I really enjoyed. I love my coffee and I can say their flat white was spot on for me.

The staff seem great here as well, very welcoming and friendly, offering to give suggestions or anwser any questions about the food.

There aren't a huge number of places even in the city centre where I can guarantee a good breakfast and a great coffee in the same spot. I'm glad to have found another to add to my list.

Okay so a weird thing I do now is when I visit a brand new place and have an amazing time, I wait until I visit a second time to review it - not because I don't trust my own judgement, but because sometimes I can be caught up in the 'oh they're new' trap and be more favourable.

So cue Alabama's All American Eatery! I visited a few weeks back for a breakfast catch up with Seb H, I had the two eggs your way and the big man had steak - both of which where perfectly presented and tasted equally as fantastic. My poached eggs were cooked just right and the yolks exploded over my crispy bacon, tasty sausage patty and buttery english muffin - exactly what I like! The home fries on my dish were perhaps the best bit though, proper potatoes, sliced and cooked just right!

I washed all this down with 2 flat whites (very nice) and some of the house water which is stupidly refreshing! The waitress informed us that she played around with a few combinations and settled on lemon, orange and cucumber - whatever was in there, it's bloody nice.

I walked out stuffed with fantastic food and happy with brilliant service already plotting my return! That return was today, for breakfast with the missus. In true Matt F form, I had the exact same dish, and lo and behold it was just as scrumptious this time round!

On this occasion I had an americano and I got a little bit too excited at the presentation of this (picture to follow) as they give you the fresh brewed espresso shot and then a pot of hot water to make your own strength - little touches like that do wonders for me honestly.

5 stars for a fabulous new yankie paradise!

I'm so happy I have finally got to try this place. I expected a long wait for a table as it was brunch o'clock on Saturday, we were told it would be around 20 minutes for a table for two so not outrageous. They have a great system in place, you leave your name and number and can go for a wander whilst you wait and they will call as soon as a table is ready. There isn't a lot of space so this avoids large volumes of people loitering in the door way. It was literally minute until they called us and we were seated.

I opted for my standard cup of tea to drink, I was tempted by the shakes but didn't want to fill myself up before stuffing my face with pancakes. I ordered a three stack of pancakes with maple syrup and bacon and my friend opted for the berry option. There were all sorts of delights on the menu such as French toast and waffles but I had heard good things about the pancakes. They were delicious and fresh, I'm glad I had three not five as I was so full.

The staff were lovely and attentive. Just one thing to note, tips on card don't go to the staff so try and tip in cash.

Came here with my sister for a birthday breakfast after a heavy night out in Manchester so we were craving salty goodness and this place really delivered. We had the classic breakfast with a side of avocado and I had the French toast and my sister opted for the pancakes. It was cooked really well, the bacon was nice and crispy and the poached eggs were perfect!

My only critique would be the avocado could benefit from a bit of seasoning.

The waitresses were really chatty and down to earth, we age to wait about 30mins for food, but it was quite busy.

Definitely one to try if in Manchester
