Yay Breakfast

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.
I 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

I really enjoyed this and so did my partner. I was surprised by how few options of burgers on the menu there were though.

What 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.

I 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

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!

Pros: All vegan!, Open till 8pm in good location, Friendly staff

Cons: Card or Contactless only

Amazing

Wide variety of options on menu, including burgers, sides, milkshakes and the best seasoned fries I've ever tasted! Allergen information is clear and staff are friendly

Pros: Menu variety, Allergen information, Decent prices

Cons: Slightly small to sit in

Mainly burgers

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.

Went 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!

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...

Pros: All vegan, Very speedy, Does iced lattes too

Cons: Not very atmospheric

Fast food but vegan

If you were used to eating burgers and American style fast food, this is the place for you, there's all the classics.
I 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

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😄

Great breakfast

Great options for breakfast. We tried one of each and it was all good.
Well priced and tasty. Need to work on a tofu scramble.
They could with removing some posters from the window as it felt dark.

Simple, tasty fast(ish) food

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.
Pancake 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!

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!

delicious breakfast

I enjoyed my first vegan pancakes 🥞 out in years and they were delicious. The breakfast wrap was also very tasty. The coffee had room for improvement.

Pros: many many vegan options, typical breakfast choices all vegan, friendly stuff

Cons: not so inviting to sit in and eat

Yummy

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

Pros: Good food

Cons: Fairly small burger, Bit pricey

Convenient but mid food

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.

Pros: Convenient vegan junk food , City centre location , Wheelchair accessible

Cons: Bland , Slow service , Staff weren't all that pleasant.

Nice junk food

I only had the nuggets. They were expensive for what they were but fresh and nice.
Bonus points for being wheelchair accessible.

Really friendly staff, food was a little on the expensive side but portions were huge. Food was nice but the milkshakes were to die for 🥰 Would definitely go again!

Pros: Big portions, Friendly staff, Quick service

The Future of Fast food!

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:)

Pros: Cheap prices!, Quality of food, Staff are super friendly

Excellent burgers!

Spent the weekend in Manchester and ate here 2 days in a row! The burgers are amazing, massive portions of fries even when ordering small! And the milkshakes, oh man! Would highly recommend the peanut butter one and the biscoff one!

Pros: Great price , Great food, Great portions
