Howdy! in Manchester

My partner and I visited, and our experience was nothing short of appalling. From the start, things went downhill. The nachos we ordered were stale, and all the food arrived cold—not even slightly warm. We politely mentioned this to a staff member, who then called over the manager. Instead of listening and understanding our concerns, the manager essentially interrogated us, questioning why we were complaining, and claiming that six other tables ordered nachos at the same time and hadn’t said a word. Ironically, there weren’t even six tables occupied. What made this experience even more upsetting was his repeated insistence that the ingredients hadn’t changed, which was irrelevant as we never claimed there was anything wrong with the ingredients—only that the food was freezing cold! It felt as though he was accusing us of lying or trying to scam them, which was incredibly disrespectful and humiliating. The manager assured us he’d “sort it out,” but then proceeded to do absolutely nothing. After half an hour of waiting, we finally gave up and decided to settle the bill, only to find a meager £7-£8 discount off our entire order of three big meals—all of which had been served cold. The service was horrendous, and the lack of respect and care was shocking. This experience left us so disappointed that we will absolutely not be returning, and I would strongly caution others against visiting.

Decent food Lovley atmosphere terrible service!

Place looks nice from the inside but was empty we were rhe only customers, food was absolutely disgusting and not worth the price. Please avoid. Only thing I couldn't fault was the drinks and deco

I personally visit to howdy and I love it..lots of love from Pakistan 😘😘😘

An unforgettable dining experience! The lamb chops were simply divine—juicy, tender, and packed with flavor in every bite. The ambiance added a cozy touch, and the staff treated us like family, going above and beyond to make our night special. If you’re in Manchester and craving something extraordinary, this spot is a must-visit. Five stars aren’t enough to capture how good it really is!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An amazing dining experience! Excellent service, warm ambiance, and everything was beyond expectations. Highly recommended for anyone in Manchester!

A delightful experience! The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, making each bite a true pleasure. Incredible taste, wonderful service—highly recommended for anyone in Manchester!

One of the most disappointing experiences we’ve had in Manchester unfortunately, and one of the few places we agreed we’d never return to. It’s a fun idea but is poorly executed and feels very low-effort. The food tasted like frozen food from Farmfoods, the service was slow despite there only being a handful of other groups, and they refuse to give tap water despite us also ordering other drinks. Presumably this is so they can charge a daft price for lime squash. Their marketing relies heavily on AI and I fear a lot of the good reviews are probably fake. Left feeling like we’d fallen for a scam.

Service was friendly and attentive, with our server eager to recommend dishes and share the restaurant’s story. We also appreciated the extensive drink menu, which included a solid selection of craft beers and regional wines.

Howdy! is an amazing spot to enjoy a delicious fish steak and their famous triple smashed burger. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended for a great dining experience!

Enjoyed it 👌🏾 western vibe in Manchester, something different, staffs are very friendly. Great atmosphere 👊🏽

Fantastic food! Loved this place, great atmosphere.

Food was good but small portions. Got the triple smashed burger but it was small for the price paid. The chips were also bot fresh.

A Delightful Dining Experience Visited Howdy yesterday and was thoroughly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

A Gem of a Restaurant I dined at Howdy yesterday and had a fantastic time. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavor. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. A truly memorable dining experience.

I had such a wonderful experience at Howdy Manchester! The steak was so tender it practically melted, and their burger? Pure flavor heaven. But what really made my night was the staff so friendly and genuinely happy to help. I left feeling full and taken care of. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Loved the food, definitely coming back The staff was really nice and friendly and food was great

Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere.

A Fantastic Meal, Thanks to Melon I visited Howdy yesterday and had an incredible dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I want to give a special shoutout to Melon, the manager, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable!

From the moment we entered we were greeted with smiles from staff. They were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. The food was out of this world and by far the best food i've had in ages. I will 100% be going back.

Went to Howdy's last night, and it was amazing. The burgers were fantastic, and the pasta was just right. The staff were really kind, and the manager was great. Will definitely be back!

Yesterday visit this place every thing was perfect on the spot Love the food and atmosphere ❤ definitely gonna come back again

As we try first time chicken burger no name and dejengo burger with hash brown. Service is also good and enjoyable.

The service was excellent! The staff was polite, attentive, and knowledgeable about the food. Some of the dishes did feel a bit pricey, but we enjoyed them so much, we felt they were worth it.

A Hidden Gem I recently had the pleasure of dining at Howdy. The food was outstanding, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The staff were warm, welcoming, and provided excellent service. A must-visit for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a friendly atmosphere.

Was staying at a local hotel for a conference the next day. We needed something nice to eat. The restaurant looks like some kind of American throw back but actually really good. Staff all in cowboy hats and really welcoming. Food was fresh and tasty. No complaints.

Great atmosphere, however it was very busy when we arrived at 5.30pm. There were quite a few families with young children and quite a few birthday celebrations. By 6.30pm, it became quieter. Seating is in a booth. There is also a table that has jail above it, which is great for the kids, and there are a few different photo opportunities near the entrance. Because it was busy when we arrived, it took around 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive and 40 minutes for our food. They do not serve alcohol. They have Mocktails and soft drinks only. The food was great, good portions and the price was reasonable too. I'm vegetarian, and there was the usual halloumi starter and burger main. I had the vegetarian burger, but from the description on the menu, I was expecting something like a Beyond meat burger. So I was slightly disappointed when it was the basic vegetable burger. With that said, it was still very tasty with the sauce that came with it. They also brought a goblet to the table that created smoke. I'm not sure the reason for this, maybe to add to the ambience. We will go again, but maybe after 6.30pm.

Went at 5.30 sat and took over 45 mins for starter to arrive. Mains were 20 mins after starters cleared. No alcohol onsite, portion sizes small. Moctails were strong tasting . Not too bad.

The small guy i think a manager was very rude and the service very very bad I am not recommend to go to this restaurant bad manger and bad service

Pretty disappointed to be fair was told about Howdys by a few people so I booked for my wife's birthday with daughter when arrived we stated we had a table for 3 to the manager who said give me 5 min no problem there was about 7-10 waiter's for the whole restaurant no waiter grabbed us to seat us it was left to the manager to say has nobody seated you yet he then took us to our seat after being there 15 min waiting we was seated with no menu's we had to ask for menu's 20 mins later or if we had to order somewhere esle. We ordered drinks the sharing platter and my daughters burger and mash to come the same time as our starters don't get me wrong the starters was amazing out of this world couldn't ask for anything better we waited ages for drinks we asked 2 waiters about them which both replied ill check for you. For main we got a surf and turf and a good bad the ugly burger this was very very poor the burger seemed to be shown the grill both sides and raw in the middle and have a mushy texture the steak well we're do I start I've never seen a steak cut lengthways too see if it was cooked and slapped on a plate with with a few mushed up prawns we had a few bites and decided too send it back we was asked if everything was OK and fine which we stated it was a poor effort for a newish restaurant we ordered a set of drinks again with took forever too arrive we asked for the bill which you guessed never turned up so we asked again and you guessed it never came by this time we just wanted too leave we brought our concerns to the manager paid and left... £119 and I have to admit it. Has to be the worst bare the starters Howdy!!you need to sort your staff out as there letting your restaurant down would I come back unfortunately I won't it's been an eye opener and I feel as z customer I've been let down

Bad service and the food not cooked properly I not recommend for anyone to go eat in the restaurant..I just saw 3 people infort me complaining about the food as Iam I'm not happy with attitude and very bad service

Food wasn't that great, steak was bland, the mixed platter had plenty on it but everything on ut was covered in the same sauce so everything tasted the same.

This restaurant appeared on one of my social media platforms, we visited here during our weekend away in Manchester, great food great value for money and all the staff dressed as cowboys

Friendly staff, reasonable price for the portion size you get. Service was spot on, were not rushed to finish starter before the mains, and again not pushed to get the bill paid and leave

Wow !! Just eaten here and all I can say is .. AMAZING!! As a chef I find it hard to eat out at places but Howdy’s ticked all the boxes. Food and service was top notch… We will definitely return!

Overall a nice experience just a few points to mention: The garlic bread was tough and chewy and we were denied tap water when we were asked. Otherwise a nice experience and a fun atmosphere with the cowboy theme

Nice place been waiting a while to try it was something different a cowboy themed restaurant with a good menu variety, nice restaurant layout too. Definitely worth a try

Customer Service is slightly hit/miss at busy times. Longer wait times for food. Food quality / quantity & flavours were pretty decent. Recommend - Steaks, Pasta, Burgers & some Desserts. The car park gets pretty full at Evenings / weekends .. plenty of local side street parking is available. Still, early days - Management will hopefully improve in time. [ 10months after my earlier Review - place has gone terribly downhill.. ordinary food + pricey with poor service. Unacceptable ]

Had a great time. Really lovely food.

Could not fault the food, we had the chicken and beef sizzler and the haddock. Both really delicious. Bit surprised by the no alcohol policy ? An American diner with no Bud !!

I was dubious about this place, but also intrigued It is "themed" which for me means kid oriented, but the adult menu is clearly for grownups. 4 stars, only because it's theme is not my cup of tea, but when broken down to food, service and atmosphere, I really can't fault it. The kids loved it Plenty of photo opportunities for them!! Value for money, the kids chicken burger looked great. Id I have taken a pic but my kid jumped right in!! Cowboy hats, lovely touch, just a little in contrast to the price of the meal. Id love to try a steak, but I want my steak in a nice restaurant with a bottle of red!! Thanks guys, I can assure you we will be back

Love a themed restaurant! It was a bit hard to find,but worth the trip. We went on a Monday night,so a bit quieter than normal. The staff were lovely and really sweet to my little girl who was running around looking at the cowboy figures,pretending to be in jail and being generally nosey! Food reasonably priced and really good, served promptly. The only thing I would ask is that they play country music rather than techno! It didn't quite match the cowboy films playing on the TVs!😂

Allways perfect try the chops and prawns

Stirloin steak was lovely There homemade sauce was the best My partner had the steak chicken and he said it was so tasty... We will be back

When me and my family entered we was sat down promptly and in a friendly manner. Our meals was genuinely delicious the dish I chosen was a shotgun sizzler (ribeye) with spicey rice and steak chips and a coslaw with a side dish of sizzling howdys wings and I’m abit of a snob when it comes to eating out I’ll be honest . The music fitted the atmosphere- The restaurant wasn’t too busy so the wait wasn’t very long. The front of house staff was very friendly and quite interactive with us which personally I like . I genuinely can’t wait to come back !! My bill was only expensive because I payed for some things that I didn’t need to but on average you could pay 30 for a main meal and a drink of not less. Again howdys thank you very much for a very pleasurable evening ! Yeeeehawwww!!! 🤠

We went tonight on a whim. I can honestly say it was great. The service was amazing. Nothing was too much. The staff were chatty and very welcoming. The food was spot on. The steak was cooked to perfection as was everything. The presentation is lovely and very very tasty. Everything was fresh and hot. We will defo be going again.

Excellent food, service and themed interior. Ample parking available also.

Good quality. May seem pricey, but good sized portions. Clean presentation. Ordered the chicken sizzler with cheese and 3 sides. The dish was tasty.. Cheesy chicken pasta- my fave, so creamy and lush. Chicken wings, which if yr into wings, they're a good size and not measly tiny ones that are gone in one bite. The decor and detail is impeccable. Wild west feelz for sure The service was speedy, and there are plenty of staff around.

Absolutely amazing food! Great prices and good size portions, Absolutely loved it. Definitely will go back with our children. Staff were very friendly and dressed as cowboys 🤠 nachos are definitely a must! Definitely a share size portion. Thanks to all the staff that made us feel so welcome and looked after us

We had a lovely evening at Howdy’s. We were met at the door by a gentleman potentially named Meelan, he was welcoming, friendly and patient while the kids squealed in excitement and asked him lots of questions. He gave each child a cowboy hat to wear and let us take photo’s in the entryway without rushing us to our table. Once seated we were served by a couple of different staff members who were all attentive and friendly, we really couldn’t fault the customer service. The food was incredible and the portions seemed really generous. What an unexpected little treasure trove of a place, everywhere you turned there was another neon sign or cowboy themed display.

Came across Howdys online as we love American themed resturants drove 70 minutes to eat here tonight, food was really nice! Big portions! Full of flavour! And price was very reasonable under £65 for a family of 2 adults 2 children drinks and also 3 deserts I thought was very good! Hopefully be back again in the future.

Honestly loved it here! Food was 10/10, waiters were excellent and treated my son soo well. Highly recommended il be back!

Food is fantastic friendly staff specially Farhan he was helpful and friendly

Ordered 3 different types of steaks, the fish steak was the best out of the other 2 meat steaks (sirloin, fillet mignon). Side dishes pasta which was nice and the steak chips. Together with the peppercorn sauce. Service was quick. Has parking which is great as you don't need to worry about parking elsewhere.

Booked this restaurant for a cowgirl themed hen party, when I booked it back in July, it was for a large party but no booking confirmation was received. I informed them on the phone it was for the hen party but at no point were we informed that they do not sell alcohol on the premises. This is something that should have been factored in from the restaurant as I would assume unless disclosed otherwise that alcohol was sold. We overlooked this issue and continued to dine there - the service was slow once our drinks and food orders were placed. On several occasions we needed to prompt the staff to remind them of what drinks/dishes we were still waiting for. I understand a larger table takes longer as they aim to serve everything together but the rudeness and abruptness from the staff when we asked about our order was uncalled for. Two people ordered the cream pasta dishes, one person needed to use the toilet for the rest of the night and the other did not eat their food as it was tasteless. When the waiters came to check on the table, he noticed a lot of food left on the plates and asked “do you not like the food?” A few people fed back some issues but the lady with the pasta said she couldn’t eat it and the waited simply walked away without offering to take the food away or make alternative. Because of all these issues we asked to take the pasta dishes off the bill and was met with rudeness from the waiter who actually became confrontational towards the lady with the pasta issue. He again walked away and left us at the booking desk. The manager eventually came and was very polite and helpful, he removed the dishes we complained about even though he said he shouldn’t really do so as we did not send the dishes back. We appreciated this help. The mocktails were lovely and refreshing, the soft drinks were all served in glass bottles so weren’t very large. We also asked for jugs of water for the table but were told they don’t do that. The shell on prawns to start were delicious, the sizzling wings also were very nice. Portions were large and good value for price - just the quality of some food/service lets the place down. Would probably be good for a cheap carefree kids party but nothing more.

Amazing food and staff my new local !!

Liked the layout, decor and food. The cowboy theme decor and waiters dressed as cowboys and cowgirls was a really nice touch. The restraunt layout was nice and spacious which made it child friendly. I loved the nacho starters with cheese, jalapeno and tri sauce. The chicken platter with no name is more than enough to serve two. Wide variety of drinks, including mocktails and a coconut shake. Definitely going again!!!

The food was amazing so tasty and great value for money. Great service, food arrived really quick highly recommend 👍

Good food and kids loved the cowboy theme!

This place is brilliant 👏...the food is unbelievable and very reasonably priced and the place has been done up great ...excellent anerican cowboy theme which is right up my street ...highly recommended 👏

Food was delicious and cooked perfectly didnt have you waiting long either will definitely go back

Amazing food staff is amazing Fresh food

By far one of the best restaurants in Manchester The staff are amazing The food is out of this world The steaks The burgers The nacho starters Amaaaaazing The staff are 10 10 Incredibly polite. Highly recommended location

Lovely place, great food, we loved the table sauce not sure what’s in it but it was very good as was the cowboy cooler. Really impressed that they catered for my son who as an eating disorder by making him something that wasn’t on the menu. We will definitely return.

I recently visited Howdy's in Manchester with my family, and we had a mixed experience. The Wild West theme is fun and well-executed, with staff in cowboy hats and booths that look like jail cells. The menu offers a fun mix of dishes, and everything we tried was top-notch. Highly recommend for a unique and tasty dining experience! Visited 30th July on my sons birthday

Nice place very busy, The food was really nice Some things on the menu were not available. They have their own parking, Also, a ramp is available for any wheelchair users.

Food was good, service was a little slow and for a western themed restaurant/diner I wanted country music playing after asking twice they did change it from R&B to country. The gentleman who met us at the door was very nice and did look after us.

Food was descent it was well cooked 6.5/10. Customer service was 10/10 Will visit again

Lamb chops were really delicious. Overall food was good too. Recommended.

-Barely greeted with no enthusiasm or care -Arrived without booking, told to come back an hour later with a reservation set -After arriving, we were given terrible seats, with ancient looking menus, more Egyptian themed than western. -Waited about 20 minutes to take orders -1 hour later received drinks -1 hour 30 mins later, no food received, we left. Good luck getting any food on a busy day, god knows what they were doing. Steak takes 5-15 tops, there's no excuse to take that long, wasn't even that busy.

Realy good food and tasty well worth the visit

Absolutely brilliant place to come I would highly recommend! Food is fantastic the atmosphere is amazing the decor inside and out is just brilliant and the staff are so lovely! We will definitely be coming back again on our trips to Manchester!

Food was amazing! I had the surf and turf. The steak was cooked to perfection and the prawns were to die for!Staff were so friendly and helpful and happy to accomodate any requests. Was a brilliant atmosphere! Definitely recommend a visit

Great atmosphere, great food, very friendly service Highly recommended

Very nice meal. Highly recommended

I always love going here. The food, the service and overall atmosphere is always good 👍

Nice n friendly staff great place to eat highly recommended

Excellent food and service. Never failed on flavours. Highly recommend Manchester Howdys.

Absolutely amazing food and really good value for money! We enjoyed our food so much we even made room for dessert! I highly recommend the lamb chops and the white chocolate cookie dough!!!

You have to visit this place !! Food was good portions are huge !!! Service is amazing The big news is its halal

It was my first visit to this "cowboy themed" restaurant. The staff are excellent, helpful, and professional. The food was gorgeous and cooked to perfection. I will go again. You do not have to dress up to eat here. Casual dress is good

We've visited Howdy for the second time and both times the service was fantastic, the food was good. We had the chicken sizzler, chicken steak, and the lamb chop sizzler The chicken orders were nice but not the best We've had, but the lamb chops were not very nice. They were very chewy and didn't smell very appetising In terms of price, I feel like it's averagely priced. However, the sides that you get with the order,especially the rice was hardly any and the peppercorn sauce is a tiny amount which we then had to order and pay for which isn't very fair when it comes with the sauce but there's the tiniest amount. I think if they tweak these little things, it's definitely worth a visit as the aesthetic and service is very good.

What a hidden gem this place is, food was amazing, reasonably priced, great choices to choose from, parking available, great atmosphere with amazing service from all members of staff, I'll definitely be returning for another visit soon.

Ordered a couple of T-bone steaks and a fillet mignon steak Firstly Ordered the t-bone steaks to be cooked medium and the fillet mignon to be cooked medium rare. Unfortunately when we received our meals both t-bones, had been cooked medium rare and the fillet mignon was cooked more rare than medium rare. The steaks was bland, had to put quite abit of salt on it to get alittle flavour (tiny amount). Also within afew minutes of eating the steaks, mines went luke warm, and the fillet mignon got cold. All in all, a very disappointing meal, left the place very disappointed Like I always say, that everyone's taste buds differ and everyones opinions are different but this is just my honest opinion... I definitely won't be returning and won't be recommending it to anyone.

Great place and service is brilliant.

Nice Steak , Peri Chicken , Soft Drinks , Good Prices 👍

Very nice place food is TT, Milan gave me amazing service and the rest of the staff very nice

Went for my partner's birthday, staff were very accommodating, helpful and friendly, prompt service and good food. The decor of this place is absolutely fantastic, you can tell alot of thought and passion went into the theming!

Celebrating Father's Day at Howdy's was fantastic! The warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff set the tone for a wonderful meal. The food was superb – the steaks and ribs were mouthwatering, and the sides were fresh and flavorful. The service was spot-on, making us feel truly special. Howdy's is a perfect spot for any celebration 🙌🏻

Second time at Howdys and both times they have delivered amazing food as well as service. We got the Apache chiefs chicken sizzler and the chicken sizzler with no name. Personally preferred the chicken sizzler with no name as it was more flavoursome than other one. Both sizzlers came with chips and you can choose 2 sides and a sauce , we went for pasta and mash which were both really nice. Mushroom sauce was quite good also! The Pina colado came in a cute pineapple glass which I could not resist but take a picture of, it was amazing! We then decided to order another drink so tried the outlaws mojito which was also amazing, a must try if you’re a mojito person! I will definitely be visiting again!

Service slacked, food was yummy. Not a place thats welcoming for your money. Don't give yourself a headache and best look for other places that appreciate your custom.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Friendly staff Highly recommend for everyone who love to taste new food with lovely settings.

MILON MADE A FUSS OVER A BOTTLE OF WATER AND NOTHING ELSE. We were told to leave the restaurant over a bottle of water when I asked him what should I do if I don't want to buy water from yojr restaurant he said "you can leave". The worst customer service given by the person in charge Milon. DO NOT GO HERE, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESPECT CUSTOMERS. So much money spent on the place but no money and thought has gone into basic customer service, skills and training. After placing the order and waiting 20 mins for food, He told us to put my 2 year old daughter's water bottle away or leave the place. We ordered £150 worth of food we were in a big group and they lost 5 customers today. The manager caused a big scene in the restaurant the other customers were watching too so I'm glad he showed the other customers the kind of rubbish service they offer. We had 2 other families who were walking into the restaurant turn away and go else where because of the drama the manager caused. THIS PLACE IS NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE OF RUDE AND ARROGANT STAFF. WE WILL MAKE SURE NOT TO RETURN OR HAVE ANY OTHER FRIENDS OR FAMILY GO THERE.

Absolute disgrace from the manager apparently named Milo! Didn't even had courtesy to give his name right. Caused a fuss over a bottle of water that my 2 year old had brought in with her. We ordered our food & about 5 mins later the manager came up with an issue that we didn't order any drinks and it was issue that we had our own water. Upon telling him I don't need/ want to order drinks (bare in mind I have ordered more than £100 of food) I asked him what shall I do. His first response without anything else was you should leave. I'm there with my whole family absolutely stunned and how a manager with customer service skills is asking me to leave for having water. Disgraceful

firsty ALL staff members are so polite and helpfull, lovely decor & so nice and warm inside. Food is out of this world i was spokit for choice but when for the chicken, chips, mash and veg it was really really nice then i had white chocolate cookie dough and ice cream, the ice cream is unreal. each family member really enjoyed the food and desserts. no long waits for food and staff made my children feel really welcome and gave them ice cream. would highly recommend and thankyou to each and every staff member for being so welcoming. such fast service and amazing food! also great menu. will be coming again!!!!

great little place to eat, menu choices were excellent and the vibe in this place was really good, all staff dressed in western gear, only downside is its a bit of a trek outside of the city, so had to drive and took a bit of time to get to with traffic. well worth a visit though!

Came here for the 5th time, absolutely amazing experience as always! Great customer service as well as food being the top tier taste and quality. Will stay a loyal customer to Howdy and visit again. Thankyou

Owsome food nice Atmosphere will recommend 💯👌

Mine and my sons food was horrible, so we couldn't eat it. My husband food was ok but was small for the price. When we asked for the bill, we had to wait 20 minutes and had to ask a second time, I spoke to the manager about the food not being nice, she just fog me off, would not recommend it if you are a vegetarian as there is only 3 options and they are all horrible

Food was good. Service was amazing. Would anyone looking for halal stakes.
