Yay Breakfast - Edit
Firstly I just want to get this out of the way. The interior is not very inviting, just take a note out of Pret's seating and if they lowered the huge stickers covering the windows it would let people see the happy customers inside & entice people in, but as it stands it looks a bit like a bookies with blanked out windows. The staff & the food are very good though, we got there for the breakfast sandwich & bagel, both were satisfying. We stayed for a chik'n sandwich & fries, I loved the seasoning on the fries & the small portion was large enough for two. On another visit for breakfast we tried the pancakes which were ok, but it was a choice between butter or syrup, I like both together but chose syrup, sadly it was golden syrup not maple. I like this place & the food it could just be much better than it is with a few tweaks.
Read moreI don't know if they read my review because this place is now a lot more enticing, a lower counter, windows you can see in & out of. The menu has had a revamp too. I decided to try their vish burger & the shack fries are always my go to. The vish burger was good, not overly fishy with a good consistency. Will always try & make at least one visit when I'm in Manchester.

Vegan alternative to Fast food - Edit
I really enjoyed this and so did my partner. I was surprised by how few options of burgers on the menu there were though.
Read moreWhat we had was delicious. Thought it was a shame there was no burger and fries deal, both had to be bought separately.
We got 2 burgers, tater tots, fries, 2 drinks and some tenders which came to 40 pounds which I thought was a little pricey for fast food.
I would recommend and go again though
Pros: Taste, Portion size
Cons: Pricey for fast food, Limited options

I love it here but not a big fan of the new menu such as the tacos or the tenders. It doesn’t taste nice.
Read moreI prefer the old burgers and muffins and more the other fast food brand style.
Milkshake and ice cream is always lovely though.

Fast and tasty - Edit
I thought I’d reviewed this place when it first opened and recall it being decent vegan fast food at affordable prices in a convenient location. I guess not… But years later and it still ticks those boxes. The menu now has some salads and breakfast items to entice you so if you’re after a bit of a junk food kick that’s not too unhealthy then this place does the trick!
Read morePros: All vegan!, Open till 8pm in good location, Friendly staff
Cons: Card or Contactless only

Mainly burgers - Edit
I had a shack burger and shared a portion of chips. The chips were a little salty and the burger was quite messy to eat (sticky fingers) but on the whole it was filling and tasty. I’d go back.
Read moreWent back two days later and had loaded fries and a salad. Again, both were tasty but salty and very heavily seasoned, even the salad.

Delicious! - Edit
We were in Manchester for work and were recommended the Vegan Shack by a colleague. We were not disappointed. We both ordered the chicken wrap, which was really good! It had lots and lots of flavour. I could have done with more veg and less "meat", but that's just a personal preference. The tater tots were also nice and the iced coffee was really good too. Good prices for what you get and super speedy. Not a super nice space to sit in, but we had it to take away so didn't care...
Read morePros: All vegan, Very speedy, Does iced lattes too
Cons: Not very atmospheric

Fast food but vegan - Edit
If you were used to eating burgers and American style fast food, this is the place for you, there's all the classics.
Read moreI had a fish burger and some tater tots. Both were really nice. I also had an apple pocket but it was bad, the taste was unpleasant, and somehow undercooked.
Cons: Skip the apple pocket

Amazing vegan fast food - Edit
I’ve missed having a good bit of proper fast food since going vegan and this absolutely fills that gap. Got all your classic fast food options - burgers, nuggets, fries and loads of great milkshakes too. Can order in store or click and collect, takeaway or eat in. Incredible😄

Simple, tasty fast(ish) food - Edit
Good breakfast options. It describes itself as 'fast food' but it is more fast-ish, so you know they are taking a little more care preparing your food.
Read morePancake stacks look great but I went for a breakfast bagel, which was very good
Pros: Tasty breakfast, Relaxed informal setting

The shakes are the best! - Edit
I ordered a fysh burger and Biscoff shake. The crumbed fillet had a good texture and flavor but could've used more tartare sauce on it as there was barely any on it. It was quite small but then again, it was £6 which is cheaper than other burger places. The shake though was the best I've had since being vegan. Super yum!

Yummy - Edit
Had the Chick’n burger and it was really tasty! Only issue is that I found it a bit pricey for just a burger of this size on its own with no sides or anything. Would definitely like to go back and try their other items as I did enjoy it

Convenient but mid food - Edit
The food was pretty underwhelming with probably the blandest nuggets and shredded meat substitute I've had since the recent boom in plant based meat alternatives. Also waited quite a while for our food.

The Future of Fast food! - Edit
It’s so great to actually have a vegan breakfast that’s not a “full English”. The breakfast bagels and pancakes are fantastic! The breakfast bagels had tofu, sausage Patty, bacon, cheese, and ketchup (all vegan of course). So delicious and would highly recommend. The service was great and super friendly:)
