Trap Kitchen Mcr in Manchester

Heard good things so came all the way down from London to taste-Best food in MCR!

Quality of food was not great. The food seemed to be lacking all sense of spice and taste, to the point the mac and cheese was bland. I’d recommend Trap Kitchen instead.

I ordered from the Birmingham branch. Usually the food never disappoints. However, my most recent order left me feeling ill due to the amount of grease in their food. The bang bang prawns I cannot fault however the mac and cheese and salmon was overly sickly and greasy. The waffles are only nice if you enjoy them covered in mac and cheese and BBQ sauce. Please do yourself a favour and put them in a separate box. And lord oh mighty don’t get me started on the “broccoli tempura”…stay clear unless you like big battered balls of green mush 🤢

Another level of stoner food. The average person wouldn’t put fried chicken with waffles, oreo’s and white chocolate sauce but it works and I’m about to cry tears of deep, unadulterated joy.

Food is amazing! My bf and I go at least once an week😅 Especially the Mac and cheese wowowow 😍

Only store pick up or 3rd party delivery, there’s no dine-in service… but what a fantastic place I discovered by mere chance. Food and service is awesome you won’t regret it at all. My Goodness, The flavoured prawns….fantastic!. I also love their sweet potato chips I’m trying the lobster next😋

This CHICKEN IS PINK AND UNDERCOOKED. Do not go here if you care about your health do not go here currently suffering with food poisoning from this meal it’s so disgusting , I was so excited to try this place out aswell SMH , it’s so blatantly bad chicken, how as a restaurant which is centred around chicken be so poor at cooking it , food poisoning is a serious thing it can kill people make people seriously ill , my little cousins had some of the chicken before I noticed it they could have food poisoning aswell , they are literally poisoning people with their food , place should honestly be shut down it’s rancid will never order here again and I suggest you should order else where as they may give you food poisoning aswell

Great Place, Fab Food and Amazing staff.

Addicted to the Lobster Seafood Box 🦞

First time ordering from here but definitely not the last, really enjoyed it, thanks 👍

Our place for delicious seafood, we always get the trap box special Highly recommend the mac and cheese

The food was very presentable and appetising thank you so much for the great service!

Trap Diners food is amazing, Tasty, Soul touching! Lots of amazing variety flavours in one box as well as the hot sweet waffles and cream sauce! Definitely would recommend visiting trap diners again including the amazing friendly staff!! Well worth the money

I ordered food an hour ago, checked the status of my deliver and the driver was “unable to deliver” the food after I’ve paid £30 and waited for an hour. No one heard a knock and now no one is answering the phone

Trap Diner is the best food I’ve had in so long. I travel from Liverpool all the time just for this food. It’s always cooked so fresh and the portion sizes are very generous. Staff are absolutely lovely Aswell. They have a pre order option on their website so it’s super easy and quick to order it for 3pm when they open. 100% recommended to anyone who likes this kind of cuisine!!

Visited trap kitchen Camden. Looks nice inside, better than the Balham branch. The food was good but be careful as they charge you for random items. I paid £10 extra for nothing!

I eat from the Birmingham shop and they come through every single time. Portions are a great size for the price , well flavoured , im always impressed. The photo I have attached is when I’ve already started eating , I couldn’t stop and wait to take a picture.

Ordered 3 dishes and only 1arrived. Sent it back with the driver. Told it would be an hour to fix. Just cancelled in the end.

Great food I would 100 percent recommend. They also have a branch in London and Birmingham. Trust me this spot is niceee.

Came here on a quiet night. Ordered food, waited 2 hours. Food was still not here, asked twice how long it would be and they said its being made. 30 minutes later it was still being made, all in all 3 hours for food. Could have driven down to london in that time, don't know if they're farming for the food fresh from the source because this is utter shambles. Still waiting as I type up this review, only now been informed there was a mix up. No apology, no refund or atleast have some sort of refund. I'm all for supporting local businesses but this is taking the biscuit.

Popped by the Trap Kitchen BALHAM after seeing it on Instagram. I've heard mixed reviews, but I wanted to see for myself. This is what I took from my experience.. #Pros Good cocktails (Recommend the slush, avoid the Henny Berry) Edible straws (Love the idea, just don't eat it, it's not very nice) Good spirits list Good customer service #Cons Limited food menu - only 3 options, plus sides - only 2 topping for waffles (no syrup or gravy etc) Small portion sizes Somewhat over priced for what you get #Nice to know A small venue with limited indoor and outdoor seating (might be worth booking in advance) Located close to Balham Station (Train/Tube) with reliable public transport links as well as off-street pay-and-display options The Trap Kitchen has the potential to be a great spot. The drinks are great, they just need to work on the quality of their food and portion sizes.

Sooo after the rave reviews on social media decided to give this place a shot...WORST DECISION OF MY LIFE. The food was so dry my jaws are still aching. The chicken, lobster and prawns whilst appeared to have been seasoned tasted bland. The rice tasted grainy. I am still trying to understand the thought process behind serving the dessert in the same box as the main meal?! Definitely would not recommend nor will I be visiting again.

Great food, absolutely loved it, I drove from Luton to taste the food as I was a fan from the tv show, however this place is great hopefully to put a trap kitchen in Luton l👍🏿

If instagram is anything to go by, we expected the food at Trap Kitchen to be saucy, fresh and to come in decent portions but genuinely, after tonight’s visit I urge you not to waste your time or money. We ordered Ballers Combos and everything was SO overcooked; the food has clearly been pre-prepared and sat under a warmer for hours waiting to be ordered. The lobster was absolutely rock solid and we had to snap the shells just to get it out. The prawns were shrivelled up and rubbery and again, the chicken was dry as sticks. Instagram makes the food look super saucy and authentic but everything is just so dry and bland - it’s not salty or remotely spicy, everything just tastes like it’s been covered in cheap out the bottle seasoning. The food all felt like it had been sat around for hours (I’d even say possibly from the day before) progressively getting more and more dry. The Mac and cheese was the best part but again - tasted the same as everything else in the box and pretty dry. The waffles were ok but really lacking sauce, adding more dryness to an already dry box of food. The sides were the only decent part of the meal we ordered - the lobster and prawns should really be the highlight of the meal, we weren’t paying £20 for some basic Mac and cheese, and a couple of pre-made waffles. Trap Kitchen could so easily get this right by cooking the food to order and adding more sauce (like they show on Instagram!) - some tasty garlic butter or spicy jerk seasoning but it feels like the staff are “over it” both in terms of service and the food they’re sending out. All the feedback on here says the same thing but they don’t seem to be taking any of it on board. We genuinely really wanted to love Trap Kitchen but we were so disappointed we won’t be going back and can’t recommend.

I made in order, i was waiting for 2 hours ,I phoned them up more then 3 times, and they keep saying the food on the way, then when I called the them the last time, they said the driver was out side and no one answered??? I said to him i was by the door waiting for him and he changed the Excuse by saying oper cancelled my order?????? Are you serious, he is the one who cancelled the order 😤 and then he Hang up on me, They are Disgustin

I got the seafood meal which was £15 and my sister got a mixed box. The lobster, prawns and chicken were overcooked and it was cold. My sisters fork literally broke trying to get it out of the chicken. I mean the rest was decent but it really does not live up to the hype. One thing that made the experience better though was the guy who served us. I've had better at my local takeaway.

Visited trap kitchen and I have to say its one of the worst places I have been. Arriving you are met with a convoy of cars albeit the Q to order does go down quick enough. The guy who took our order was nice enough. We was then told to park on the opposite side of the road and the waiting time was around 40 minutes. Sat in the car patiently and an hour passed kept seeing the young girl coming out with bags of food and delivering them to other vehicles, a further half hour went by and still no sign of our food. We kept seeing other cars that had arrived after us getting their food before us and cars just pulling up to where you order, waiting there for 5 mins or so and getting their food straight away. After nearly 2 hours I stopped the girl who was delivering food to the vehicles to adv we had been waiting almost 2 hours where was our food? She advised she would go check another 30 minutes later the food finally arrived. The guy who brought it to the car gave me my receipt and noticed on the receipt the order had been put through at the time i had stopped the girl walking past my car so they hadn't even put the order through when we first ordered and had i not stopped the lady we probably wouldnt have received any food at all. Diabolical service especially considering the price of the food which I have to state is on par with a 2 for £10 from whetherspoons. The food was cold, the prawns were over cooked and the chicken was full of gristle. Very disappointed to say the least as from all the hype it gets on social media would have expected more or at the very least the service to be better. Not even an apology for the 2 hour wait. Wont be going back.

Clues in the title, all hype and definitely no sauce. So had dry lobster, prawns and rice. I love seafood and eat prawns often but ive made better at home. Come on, you cant serve dryer foods with no sauce.

All 4 lobsters were hard rubber which woudnt even break apart and portions are small compared to what is displayed on their Instagram. Very disappointed, 1st & Last time wont be going again. (Birmingham Store)

People are lying if they say this place is horrible. It's the best street food shop in the UK. The queue goes very quickly. For me, I arrived when there were already 4 cars waiting, but it only took 15minutes before I and my family...

Very poor experience - tried to visit on two separate occasions and both times was unsuccessful. We arrived at 2:30 (30 mins before they open), as we knew the queues would be long. We were the first people there but no one came to take...

Food is nice but not worth waiting 3 hours I. The car for plus a 2 hour drive. It’s good to experience it and would be better if lived closer

If only waiting times were realistic enough I wouldn't have had to wait 2 hours for my food. Would've gone somewhere else. The one thing that didn't help is the workers taking orders were taking friends orders and getting them out before others. Saw this...

Went with my friends to try it for the first time. We ended up leaving without eating because of the way we were treated. We were only 10mins late and were treated like we had committed a heinous crime to humanity by talking down at...

Food is amazing, the staff here are so lovely! Would 100% recommend!! I loved it and the staff are !!

Literally all hype, the food is terrible, service was ok but was shockingly disappointed in the food.

Visited on Sunday 8th November. Arrived at 4:30pm after a 2 hour drive as not from Manchester. My son has always asked to come as the food is supposedly banging.... well as demonstrated on social media. Waited in line for order to be taken, roughly...

Just wanted to break it down for rest of you guys so you know what you could expect, as well as save your time and money. First You have to que up with your car which normally can be up to 8/9 cars in front...

Ok so I heard and saw a lot about this place on social media....you could imagine I was very excited when I finally got a chance to go down. It took me an hour to get there as I don’t live in Manchester. We arrived...

I came here with my friend, it took 30 minutes to get a drink (I had to go and ask at the desk if someone would serve us). Cocktails were £8 each and very small with very little alcohol, and all slush so more ice...

Way too overpriced - over hyped - staff are rude rude and think they're doing YOU A FAVOUR by speaking to you. Not sure if that's what the boss wanted, food bland and cold after hour long wait - WHY !!! Another place that serves...

First time travelling to Trap Kitchen from Preston. Was worth the travel, luckily we were the last people to place an order. I asked if the place was halal and checked the review and was happy. Due to the COVID situation there was a queue...

The food is AMAZING so flavoursome can’t get that level anywhere else near- worth the trip. Lobster slightly Dry but everything else was amazing. Only thing is the system doesn’t really Work (park up wait to have order taken) waited around an hour and traffic...

Food 0/10, inedible Drinks 2/10 small and expensive Customer service is horrific, worst I’ve ever experienced. Avoid

Girlfriend scheduled a delivery, all ready to enjoy food we’d heard so many good things about, only for our time to come and go. Checked the website to see “Currently Unavailable” and when tried ringing the line was dead. Utter waste of time. If you...

The setup is beautiful however the workers do not know what they are doing. I was told that the food is not halal however it was and i didnt know this at the time meaning i had to get a vegetarian which tasted like nothing....

I’d give a zero if I could. Absolutely awful food. Overrated tripe. Mac and cheese was cheap pasta, not macaroni. Lobster was rubber, chicken was burnt charcoal and the waffles were cardboard. I am astonished that anyone gives this 5 stars.

As we was being seated we was told we couldn’t go on the beds incase a love island star comes in because didn’t want any makeup on the bed , waiting 40 mins for someone to ask us if we wanted drinks , waited hour...

The most disgusting inedible food I’ve ever had in my life. My friend and I ordered the vegetarian option which should’ve been a pineapple sweet corn fritter burger. The fritter hadn’t been cooked it was sweet corn and wet dripping batter spooned into a bun...

Waited 45mins to get a drink, felt like I was in the Sahara desert by the time I actually got a drink. When we finally managed to order a drink, both drinks we ordered weren’t available.. finally managed to get a drink and it was...

The waiting times are so utterly ridiculous. We’ve been waiting one hour and 15 minutes and still don’t have our food. They can’t possible run a food business like this. No organisation, they have 2 options on the menu, how can it take so long?...

For the mains I had lobster, king prawns, chicken with a base of lovely mac and cheese it was really nice. BUT as the name states “trap kitchen”, you get an idea of its clientele. This place has been reviewed by people who’ll have nothing...

Such lovely staff and amazing service!! The food is always unreal, and even though we did have a mix up with one of our boxes they sorted the problem by bringing us a whole new meal, no questions asked!

The salmon was absolutely amazing!!! Very tasty 😋 also, Christina was a very lovely girl, she took good care of us after waiting so long, it was with the wait though😊

Went to trap kitchen, a little longer wait but that’s because it’s so popular. However, the que did go down pretty fast l. I was served by Christina, such a polite member of staff and always seems to be so cheery whenever I come. She...

Loved my first experience at Trap Kitchen, the food was amazing! There was quite a long wait (as expected) but Christina made it so much better, excellent service and really helpful!

honestly I traveled from Leeds on Sunday, I waited 3.5 hours as they said they had technical difficulties .... wish I didn’t can’t get that time back, no joke as I got near to the front I saw cars pulling up who haven’t been queing...

#rip off# So you either wait in a line of 20 cars or pay £10 extra to get your food faster. So we paid £10 extra to get two plates off food and two drinks. When they dropped the food I asked for 6 grape...

Waited 2 hours for average food,if only it taste as nice as it looks.Overrated and Over priced.stick to nandos lol

I was so excited to go here and had been waiting for ages, tried to go once before but the wait for food was over an hour and we didn't come in a car so had nowhere to wait so sadly decided to leave it....

Great concept but poor food. I ordered the combo meal at £20 which included a lobster tail, bang band tiger prawns, chicken, fried rice and rainbow topped waffles. Considering this meal cost me significantly more than your average takeaway prices, my expectations were high. Sadly,...

The food was delicious, the crab legs were huge, the pawns succulent, the mac and cheese could have had more cheese, but still good, the staff were friendly but slow with drinks, the price was fantastic. I do not know how they make a profit,...

So the food is soooo good! The only negative is the waiting,can be at the least 1 hour at the most over 2 hours,so this is maybe the size of kitchen,staff who cook and a big demand? Anyway if you’re prepared to wait in your...

My sister and I visited Trap kitchen based in London Balham today as I’ve heard so many good things about it. Let me start off with the pros - staff were attentive and welcoming... The lobster tail was nice The cons The service of the...

I came with my friends to trap kitchen after seeing trap kitchen on social media. It took 2 hours 30 minutes for the food to arrive. The food was incredibly overpriced considering the quality of the food. The lobster tails were dry, the waffles were...

Love love love the food from here but every time I have been in there has been a lot of young teenagers in making a lot of noise. You can barely hear yourself think. The staff are usually conversing with them too and it looks...

The wait for the food tends to be about an hour and a half which seems very long as there is only 3 dishes you can order. Its expensive especially as its just a take away but have travelled to eat there a few times...

Amazing AMAZING food but the waiting time is ridiculous. We paid an extra £5 for the express service and were still waiting an hour and a half. The organisation of the kitchen needs improving....the Cheeto wings are NEXT LEVEL.

We came to this place after hearing about it all over social media. We ordered 2 combo meals and waited around 1hr for our food after being told it would take 30mins. When our food finally arrived, one of the meals were incorrect as we...

Nice food here, especially when they're doing boneless chicken, mac and cheese & oreo waffles. Sometimes they put hardly any of the waffle sauce on compared to their promo snaps :( Its a shame you cant ring and order beforehand as it'd save a lot...

Decided to visit here after seeing the hype on instagram and the pictures of the food looked amazing. Visited on a Saturday night - it was extremely busy. You order your food and wait in your car. We unfortunately waited 2 and a half hours...

We waited almost 2 hours for our food, then when we asked for a refund it magically appeared! The food was pretty over cooked but the flavours were good. When we opened our boxes we found that one of our orders was wrong but after...

30mins gone 45 mins gone 1hr gone im thinkin were my food at??? Then when it arrived i opened my box to a absolute madness! The food was 12 outta 10! Peeps on the gram be sayin its mac n cheese but come more like...

Don’t go if you have somewhere to go. Waited nearly 2hrs for food. Got a combination of meals for the family between lobster/prawns, “jerk” chicken, waffles /rice/mac cheese/ corn. Food was very basic. Easily cooked to a better standard at home. If you enjoy well...

I knew there was a long wait but didn’t realise how ridiculous it was. Waited 2.5 hours for food I could have made myself at home in half the time to be quite honest. 2.5 wait time when I was the first batch of cars...

After my son hounding me to go here, I finally gave in yesterday. Ordered food about 4.15pm, being told by staff there was a 20 min wait! After sitting on our car till 5.15pm we went to determine where our food was!! Another 25 mins...

Went this place yesterday was told it was 35 minutes wait ok so I passed by a friend’s close by, came back had to wait a further 40 minutes no apology or anything, the food was overcooked and warm, I seriously can’t understand how they...

Went there first time food was nice had to wait 40 mins which they told us. Went for a 2nd time had to wait 2 hours in the car! We kept ringing asking for our money back if it took any longer and were told...

Every time I come to Manchester, it’s imperative I put my coins into this restaurant because the food is too damn good! I always get the seafood box with lobster and waffles. With rice too. It never disappoints me. Some of the most delicious food...

If you are even considering coming here you better bring a movie and a pillow as the wait time is horrendous. I was told that it would take my food an hour to be prepared and waited in the car. However, to my return I...

Absolutely splendid. The food was amazing and it came quicker than I thought, despite having a large queue. I ordered the Oreo Waffles along with spring onion fried rice and BBQ chicken, with the special of the day (Grape juice). Guarantee you, this is not...

Popped in as I was working round the corner. Initially looked expensive, but the smells made me think.. Go for it. So glad I did, as I demolished the mix I had, and it was worth every penny. 5 stars from me, see you next...

Visited due to all the hype on social media about this place, but honestly unless you’re a famous rapper you won’t get the service that your hard earned money is paying for. Waited over an hour for 3 meals which would’ve been understandable had they...

Friendly service and didn’t have to wait long. Lobster was dry, hard and overcooked with hardly any seasoning. The bits of chicken that weren’t burnt and dry were quite tasty. The Mac and cheese was truly awful! Firstly it wasn’t macaroni, it was a bloated,...

Visited as all the reviews and my son said the food was so tasty. Ordered 3 boxes of lobster and only 2 were given so drove back. Then only gave us 2 packets of sauce 1 red and 1 white. I would have thought as...

Amazing food , the wait is long but definitely worth it . Such big portions as well I was literally full up all afternoon.

Over priced food, rubbish service and a long wait for the food which is not as good as people say it is.

I drove from Leigh to take my son here..amazing food.. yes you have to wait a while but thats because its being cooked and all I can say is it was well worth the wait and the drive.. will definitely be going back soon

Honestly....I drove all the way from Preston and it was worth every bite! And the fact that they come and drop it off to your car after you order! 😭 omg just on point!!! I really can’t wait to go again♥️

Food is on point, you have to wait a bit of time, to get ya food bought out to your car but hey it's the trap kitchen, expect that. The price is the price and it works.

We ordered the food and waited in our car for nearly an hour, when food came it was cold hard and not worth the money.

I waited for an hour and 45 minutes for my food. The staff were not transparent about the length of time I'd be waiting, I was just told to wait in my car and they'd bring the food out to me. After an hours wait...

Pricey but the food is on point 10/10 - got to eat it as soon as it's served ! Good location Friendly staff

Waited a long time to eat here but when I ordered the ballers combo it wasn’t great at all. I waited around 30 minutes for it to be cooked so I expected good things but the lobster tail was hard and dry chicken was dry...

Visited today with really high hopes as this place was recommended to us by existing customers. Been welcomed by very nice staff - ordered lobster with mac&cheese and chicken with mexican rice plus two “fruit punch” drinks. Been told it will be around 15mins wait....

The food might be great here, i wouldn't know. I was kept waiting for nearly an hour. The menu is small, presumably to make it easy for the kitchen. But they can not get even this out in a reasonable time. I was given the...

Not sure if the fact that a big concert was on the food/ menu was affected but..... Read the reviews was really looking forward to visiting here. No waffles available. We ordered the chicken which was nice just not a lot of it for £10...

Been tonight after following on Instagram for ages. So good well worth it, nice place and really good customer service! They were friendly and welcoming!!!

Walahi this is the best food in Manchester. There is nothing that can bet it. 10/10 Food🤤No joke am always there

Lovely service and really good food, I love the ballers combo, would definitely recommend to my family and friends
