Yard & Coop in Manchester

The food is decently portioned and tasty... just wish my chicken was warm and more fresh. The sauces were nice, especially the ranch and blue cheese. The peach ice tea was refreshing. Tables way too close together...annoying...also the furniture is rather mixed, reminds me of school hall(and not in a good way).

Was quiet when we went but have great wings, would recommend.

It's ok. Just ok. It used to be so much better but I guess the cost of living has affected what they can provide for the price point. My advice.....eat in places local to you that appreciate the trade and come into town to drink. Nothing wrong with this place but nothing to recommend either To be honest, 40 quid for chicken tenders and chips plus a portion of spicy chicken nuggets and a salad which was basically half a lettuce is a bit of a joke. It's a real shame but it used to be so much better here. Another place that's ready to shut down me thinks. Better food and better value in the locality. I wouldn't bother coming again.

my go to lunch spot each time when visiting my friend in manchester; the food is absolute quality. there’s such huge range on the menu with an additional specials menu that they give you, so plenty of choice to choose from, as well they do an assortment of fizzy and still drinks. the staff are massively friendly and attentive with their service. the place itself is huge so there’s always guarantee of being able to get a table when walking in. lots of toilets which are always clean and stocked up. overall a fabulous place which should be on anyone’s radar when visiting or living here!

Leah was a fabulous server for us and very helpful all round!

Visited here with a bunch of friends mid August and found the atmosphere and vibe to be nice, although it felt a both rushed considering it was a quiet day. There are some really interesting food options as well as being able to create your own. Only thing is that it’s a bit above would I’d like to pay, but great tasting food nonetheless.

Great food, fantastic service! Just a shame it’s far away

Expensive for basic fried chicken fillet and chips.

My friends deaf and all the staff made an effort to communicate. Good team.

This is an amazing place to have a meal with family and friends.... Great service 👏

Order came messed up ,spilling sauce on floor,,,forgot onion rings,end of meal asked my son had he finished replying yes then took my plate!strange automospere were we felt not welcomed,but everyone else who clearly were from the 🏳️‍🌈 community were warmly welcomed and served ,,,,makes me wonder

Amazing amazing amazing. Make sure you visit this place if you are in Manchester with kids because you won't regret it. We were recommended this by family who live in the area and we were not disappointed! Food was tasty, slightly expensive but unique and gorgeous! I had the dirty bird, she had the special that was advertised and the kids had chicken nuggets! All fantastic food. Lively atmosphere but not too busy it was great. Decorations for fun too!!

Cannot recommend this place enough. Staff were amazing, so lovely and welcoming, and made us feel happy to be there. We were reassured of any allergy concerns and weren't made to feel like a bother. And even though there was a long wait for the food (on a Saturday night so to be expected) it was well worth it, absolutely fantastic.

I love this place. Such lovely staff and great food. Jae is back and the MOST wonderful human. If you want somewhere genuine, get along there.

Excellent - the food is fantastic - you can tell it’s all fresh, not batch fried & placed in a warmer for the next customer

Me and my friend went to Yard and Coop today in Manchester. The food was amazing and super affordable for the portion sizes and quality. My personal favourite was the salt and pepper wings. Want to give a huge shoutout to the staff especially Jay who was so so lovely to us and had an amazing energy. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely unreal never had chicken like this before if you like chicken you HAVE to visit so so good service was really good truly enjoyed everything about it great find.

Unbelievable chicken with a wide variety of options and lovely milkshakes and drinks. Staff are exceptional and a special mention to Jaelan who dealt with my nut allergy with extra care and precaution !! :)

We had such a great time here tonight. Our server was so friendly and upbeat and the service at all stages was super efficient. I had the buttermilk chicken breast and chips with sides of slaw and chicken gravy and wow - it was so amazing! My friends had the chicken Parma and they loved theirs too. Will definitely return with my kids soon to make the most of the kids eat free offer!

I absolutely love it here! I’ve been here a few times and went a couple of months ago. The food was fantastic, great portion sizes and the prices were reasonable. The day that we went they had free wings with each main - all was really tasty. You should definitely go while in Manchester

Such great food. Very impressed.

The servers were very helpful and nice they and the place looked amazing however when it came to the food I found it to be not warm and almost cold to my likely, the look off the food came off very unappetising and sloppy. The milk shake was good however but u feel like for the price they should have atleast but wipped cream on top.

Never disapoints, has literally became 'our place' for me and my partner.

Happy hour is 20:30 on a Saturday which helped with our costs. Had a 19:30 reservation was seated timely, wait staff attentive, food very good. A main and two beers was about £30 per person. 4 lads splitting a bill 4 ways.

First visit and will definitely be going again!

Wanted to try for ages had the waffle burger and cherry coke wings, was okay but nothing special. Little underwhelming

Gorgeous food , I had Korean chicken burger and my daughter had waffles and chicken. Service a little slow but overall highly recommend

Came for lunch and drinks, it was lovely. Sat outside and the sun was shining. The server was nice and relaxed and the food was tasty and reasonably priced. My only small issue was we were asked to pay before we ate. She made it seem like company policy. So I agreed ( it also included a service charge ). I have no issue with a SC however to pay it before receiving any food and drinks seems a little presumptuous. Later other tables paid their bill after eating. I'll definitely be coming again though and both sever and food were great. Visited 18.7.24 Mark

Fantastic salt and pepper chips. Loved the chicken. Super attentive service. Sat me at dinner time on a Saturday with no reservations, which was great!

Love this place. Best chicken in town! :)

Travelled from up north watched a few TikTok’s saying this place was delicious so thought we would give it a go, when it come out I was so shocked couldn’t wait to dig in few bites in I realised that it was so over rated and I had just wasted 30 on my meal (we was both hungover too so you can imagine the heartbreak) the chicken wings where more batter then chicken giving a sludgy wet batter kinda vibe and the batter had absolutely no taste what so ever I ate one and left the rest. If I had to offer any advice mix up the batter add some flavour it was just sickly and tasteless, salt and pepper chips where nice very sweet but I didn’t realise it had sweet soy sauce on, go to kfc people and don’t go when your rough. cheese dip was the nicest part

Great food the best cherryade ever good friendly service good atmosphere and fair prices

This was a busy Saturday Afternoon. Greeted and taken to a table. Greeted by Darby who was very knowledgeable regarding drinks. Ordered a Solero Colada cocktail, flip the bird pint and a Nutella milkshake. The cocktail was delicious! Darby helped us pick out some burgers and they did not disappoint. Really tasty and messy! We had a lovely afternoon in Yard and Coop but having Darby as our server made it all the better. Thank you

Chicken was good. Salt and pepper chicken is not the salt and pepper you think. They used soy sauce but I liked the taste. Their salt and pepper chicken reminded me soy sauced korean fried chicken. Mac and cheese was below average. But their main is chicken. So no complain. I would go again

The service and location are great, very nice staff who made us feel very welcome. The food was a little disappointing unfortunately, it was definitely fine but I expected a better coating/crunch on the chicken.

Lovely meal. Big plates of food. I had chicken thighs with chips and cherry cola bbq sauce and cherryade. Very tasty and filling.

The Place Is the best for fried chicken in town. Absolutely wort a visit. Shout out to Jay, who's been the best server ever. Great great service, awesome guy, delicious chicken

I've had good experiences here before but this was disappointing. The gentleman on the front desk was unnecessarily rude and unhelpful, but the other waiting staff were friendly. Ordered a gluten free chicken thigh meal which took 35 minutes and was massively under seasoned and overcooked. Hopefully this isn't the start of slipping standards.

Great place, make sure you book on a Saturday night. fantastic food. Recommend the specials. Had a Euro burger, very tasty and delicious

The worst place to get a quick bite. Waited for an hour and a half. The staff are incredibly rude.

Best food in NQ 🍗 Class atmosphere, great service, and very allergy friendly.

We went to celebrate a birthday and had an incredible time. The atmosphere and staff were incredibly lovely and attentive, and the food was just as amazing. Our front of house staff (Jaelan) was very patient and kind with us, and provided excellent service. Would definitely come again!

Me and my friend Layla went here for dinner, and let's just say we had an absolute blast. Layla was knackered, but you certainly woke her with your excellent service ! Top trumps!

We entered as a walk in and were advised that there was a 30 minute wait for a table but they were happy to accommodate us. We were advised to wait at the bar. We ordered drinks and were served by a lovely girl who was happy to help. Within 20 minutes we were seated at the table. The menu had a great selection. Within 5 minutes we were approached by the lovely waitress to take our order. There was a bit of a wait for our food but Paula, one of the team members noticed and quickly chased our food. Mikey came to apologise for the delay and offered us a free drink on the house, which was lovely of him. The food came and it did not disappoint! Very appealing to the eye and very tasty!! Honestly, this was our first visit and from when we were first greeted to the very end we were looked after and the team couldn’t do enough for us. We eat out a lot and never had staff so lovely and enthusiastic towards the customers. Well done, you should all be very proud of the way you deliver the service. We will definitely be returning very soon.

I never leave reviews but this was seriously disappointing. Came in and ordered with the QR code and took 35 minutes for 1 main dish, Mac & Cheese rolls and some mash. Mash didn’t come with Gravy even though on the app through the QR code it is called Mash & Gravy side. Had the parmo plate. A teaspoon of dry macaroni and a few kernels of sweetcorn with fries that clearly weren’t fresh fried. A total waste of £40, can easily get better in any generic chicken shop on the street for half the price. Can’t fault the staff we were seated quickly, table was clean but there isn’t really any service so not sure why service charge is included. Could see other customers looking around wondering where their food was. Could be a great concept if done well. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Great day ,, food and drink b4 going see Peter kay ...absolutely brilliant...staff very attentative ,,atmosphere fantastic....

Always a nice little stop here with my daughter when we are visiting Manchester. Nice chilled atmosphere, friendly staff and the burgers are excellent. I always try a new one every visit and haven't been disappointed once.

Reuben chicken burger was amazing. Tasty cocktails aswell. Service was on point, even with a full house.

I recently visited Yard and Coop and found the overall experience to be just okay. While the food was generally decent, I found the wings to be too sweet for my liking. Additionally, the service was slow, as it took quite some time for the staff to take our order and check on our drinks. If they could improve the service speed and balance the flavors better, it could be a much better dining experience.

Service was a bit slow, and it took a while for someone to take our order, and it wasn't busy. It was a monday evening about 8-30ish. When food came, the food was a little cold, and it came in tin bowls, which spinded around when trying to eat the food. Wouldn't go again it's just not for me. Overpriced and underwhelming .

Chicken with dorito sauce and the onion rings were gorgeous. The standard chips are lacking in seasoning and the portion of slaw is ridiculously small. The toilets were in bad shape when we visited hence mark down on atmosphere.

Perfect to eat buttermilk chicken and a nice milkshake!

Lovely place. Great food, fantastic atmosphere and lovely staff. The only thing that really irked me and soured the whole experience is this is yet another place with forced gratuity (10%). Whereby it is automatically added to your bill and you have to request it be removed. Hence the 4 stars.

I was excited as this was heavily recommended but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. It took 25+ minutes to receive a coke and a lemonade when the restaurant was half full. The fries tasted how cardboard smells which would suggest they had been reheated. We had two chicken and chips which was mediocre and The Texas burger. The food was edible but not enjoyable. My only issue with the atmosphere was how loud the music was while it’s daytime and there are children.

Fantastic meal, absolutely superb. Our waiter Ian was brilliant, friendly & attentive. Totally 5 star experience. Food is epic!

Lovely chicken wings and chicken nuggets really nice 👌usually order out from there but dined in today was lovely

Staff were very welcoming on entry, wasnt left ages waiting to be served. Food was great! And at a decent price. Definitely recommend going 👌

Fantastic food and service. We opted for cherry coke wings, tenders with Doritos sauce and some dirty fries. The gentleman that served us made two separate portions of fries for us at no extra charge as one of us didn’t want cheese. Very impressive service and food.

Leah was great, she made sure our food was served hot and asap, got our drinks as soon as we sat down and checked up on us the right amount of times, would definitely go again if she was my server.

Was looking forward to trying this place out, I had heard good things. Unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. Ordered one of the chicken burgers, chicken was a strange grey colour inside not quite white. The chicken nuggets “maccies nugs” look great on the picture until you try them, they are in an odd batter similar to the taste of fair donuts. The mac and cheese was the only acceptable tasting dish. Even the fries were re cooked giving them an oily taste and over crispy Service was really good, staff are friendly and helpful but unfortunately the chicken was some of the worst I have ever had. Would not go back.

Exceptional service, and quality food! The bbq nuggets were my personal favourite, but the Mac and cheese did no favours to my irritable bowel.

Food was absolutely fantastic, the salt and pepper nugs were my personal fave! However it was very unclear where I needed to urinate, I mistook the far section for more toilets after seeing some people walk down that way which gave myself and the poor chaps at the urinals quite the shock

Great food. The flavours from the chicken are so good! The lasagna burrito is not a combo you’d think goes but it really does! Salt and pepper chips are to die for as well and the desserts certainly help if you have a sweet tooth. Originally seated in a really cramped area at first but after we mentioned it to staff, they didn’t have a problem moving us. Looking forward to going back

What a fantastic find, such a cool restaurant

Sat outside over lunch, great food, fast service and crispy chicken! 🍗

Went with a colleague on a work trip and absolutely loved this place! Good range on the menu, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. I had the Karen burger with onion rings, and then had the brookie at the end, which were all delicious. Will definitely be back.

Me and my wife came here for the first time on sunday and we really enjoyed it!. Very Friendly, attentive staff with alot of personality!. The place has a bright atmosphere which is perfect for lunch and a good time (not dark and dank like other places close by!). I ordered the parmo chicken with salt and pepper fries. It tasted fantastic, the chicken wasn't dry and the portion size was just right. The dorito sauce is a must when coming here too! The one thing I would point out is that I personally found the menu difficult to read/navigate. Needs a better layout to make ordering food easier. Will certainly be coming back to try the burgers!

Staff are incredibly friendly, so talking to them is very easy and enjoyable. Music isnt overwhelming, its relaxing. Lovely vibes and even better food. Always an enjoyable experience.

Absolutely amazing service from Charlotte which really put this place above and beyond. We were stuck on what to order as there’s quite a range of articles to choose from, but with charlottes recommendation it was a quick and easy process, and the selection was spot on, service was quick and easy all round. Thank you!

Amazing food and incredible service by Ian, he kept our glasses full and made sure we had everything we needed. Give him a bonus!

Loved it...looked after dietary requirements for one of our party...all 👍

Excellent service food and atmosphere 👌

Did not enjoy the chicken or chips, dont know how you can get this wrong. Menu was poor, not a lot of choice. Had to wait a long time for food, and as it wasnt very busy, it was poor.

Good place to grab a dinner if you are in the mood for fried chicken. Walked in around 8 on a Thursday night and were seated quickly. There are menus already on the table. There are QR codes on the table to order but we were approached pretty quickly by a server so we just ordered through her. The thigh meal is pretty good and includes about 3 boneless fried thighs. The breading wasn't super crispy but it was tasty and the chicken was super juicy. Ordered the gravy upgrade and so came with a large saucer of gravy. The fries were good too. Overall, it was easy and quick for a good meal and there was free wifi too.

Quite noisy but ok with kids, waiter very attentive and friendly, food lovely

Was expecting some mind-blowing chicken, but not really what I got. Ordered the Chicken Thigh meal alongside the Dr Pepper BBQ sauce and cheese sauce Chips: great! Not too salty. Chicken: a bit too salty for my taste. Decent portion size though Dr Pepper BBQ : standard smoky barbecue Cheese sauce: a bit grainy for my liking, and not really cheesy. I guess I was expecting nacho cheese sauce.

Great food and service although the food was a little slow coming out but well worth a visit nonetheless.

Not been before. Went Friday lunchtime. Service was good and quick. Food was nice and good value. Would go again.

Are you a human? Do you have a face? Do you like to fill this face with the greatest chicken known to mankind? If you answered yes to any of the above get yourself here now!! Oh my days. The food is something else, the draught IPA was ice cold and the staff and atmosphere were perfect too. Nice laid back and chilled and no word of a lie one of the greatest things I have ever eaten!

Server was really friendly, food was excellent. Will always return back here

Marina has been nothing but welcoming with service with a smile. Approachable at all times and went above and beyond. Really made the night. Thank you Marina.

Leah was excellent! Lovely server, was really attentive. We had a lovely time :)

I ordered the Karen burger which was lovely and upgraded my fries to the salt and pepper fries which were amazing, love the crispy seaweed on top! The salt and pepper roasties as a side were delicious too!

Absolutely bangin, will definitely be returning when we next come to manchester! Lovely friendly staff also!

Visited today for the first time after seeing some really positive reviews, we thought about other places but decided on here. The food was bang average to say the least… £14.50 for some ‘loaded fries’… supposedly crispy bacon but the bacon was so raw I could hear it squealing… on the bright side that entire dish was the worst one and the other two (wings and tenders) were actually okay, £8 each, the tenders were average but there was no nasty veins or blood spots etc - same with the wings, the taste of the salt and pepper wings was okay but no where near as ‘amazing’ as the previous reviews stated. It’s similar food to Wetherspoons but with a much much higher prices. ‘Cookie pie’… there’s nothing ‘pie’ about it, it’s a tiny slither of a slice, better off saving your money and getting an ice stones or something. Then a £5 service charge for again… a bang average service and stand offish staff. Overall a solid 2/10 simply because the chicken wasn’t weird!

Mediocre "Trendy" food. Compulsory 10 percent service charge, poorly trained staff and hidden charges for condiments. Quite expensive for effectively takeaway food. But that's everywhere in cities nowadays.

Amazing place and staff the food came fast and was super tasty we was looked after by leah who was amazing

Food was okay at best, extremely overpriced and terrible service.

Food was flavourful and staff friendly. Only wished the plates wouldn’t slide when eating - maybe some mats would fix that

First time visiting the Northern quarter Manchester from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 we fell in love with this quirky aesthetic chicken place. Ryhs made us feel very welcome and asked us if we had tried any of the house sauces we loved them will 100% be back ! And telling everyone in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 about it :)

Kinda average at best. Took 20 minutes for us to have our order taken as they took our menus away from us and assumed we had already ordered. Was almost late to our event as the service was slow. Food was okay but could have been better.

The food was just 'meh' despite the rave reviews. Ordered a menu item that had mac n cheese, cheese sauce, extra cheese on top, marinara and another sauce (tennessee I think) but I could only find a tablespoon of mac n cheese. The 2nd meal was advertised with buffalo sauce and blue cheese sauce seemed to just have franks hot sauce on it. The last menu item we ordered came with a honey sauce 3 of us on the table tried it and all of us hated it.

Simply the best fried chicken you will ever have.

Shout out to Ben top lad, food was great

Leuke tent qua eten en sfeer. Wel rekenen ze automatisch meer dan 10% fooi op de bon. Dat vind ik echt niet oké! Echte schooi tent daardoor, bah. Daardoor 1 ster.

First time here, mouthwatering chicken all round, pretty decent sized portions

Amazing place, Staff are friendly and very hardworking. Marina was amazing and so lovely !

Lovely food and atmosphere. We had Alex as our server and she was so lovely!

I have never had anything so delicious in all my life. The salt and pepper wings were out of this world. The cherryade was the best I've ever had too. The onion rings were gorgeous and the cheese sauce was perfect. First time visiting but will definitely be visiting a LOT more soon! Beautiful food, staff are brilliant, and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Keep up the good work!

Ate early on valentines day, prior to going to a gig. Place was quiet, not empty, when started but filled up as we ate. Quite a few young couples and a few families Food was good, dirty fries and a kebab thing, both with butter chicken, quite different and very tasty. Worth a visit for a decent bite to eat
