5 stars Every.Single.Time.A small cafe with a huge family vibe. Everyone is always happy to be working there.I have never had a bad experience at Manhattan. It's a perfect spot to feel welcome - even if you're grabbing the food to go. The turkey BLT panini is to die for and the "crack" sauce is a condiment worth hoarding.This place should be on a map.
Wonderful service! We were starving when we came into town and this was just the spot. We arrived during a busy lunch rush but were greeted right away with instructions on how to order. Their menu had plenty of options but at the same time it was not too overwhelming. You can tell everything they offer is extremely fresh by how it is displayed. I had the turkey and bacon panini. I thoroughly enjoyed the bread and the bite sized bacon pieces. Each portion size was large enough for two meals. I regret not trying the salad bar. It really caught my eye and you can tell it is very popular. They can make a salad to order quickly, nutritiously, and in a JUMBO size. While standing in line I had thoughts of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine is trying to find a BIG salad. This would have been the place!Again, the service was above and beyond. As busy as they were with happy guests, they did not take my name with my order or give me an order number. This worried me for a second but not only did the order come out quick but they kept giving me updates on it as they bused tables nearby. Bottom line: Great service, quick, delicious, economical, don't miss out!
Was greeted with Excellent service and served awesome food!
This is one pf my favorite places to get a saladLove the choices when created-thousands of possibilities!! Definitely come here if you want a quick lunch and friendly staff in downtown.
Fresh deli with a good inside vibe- they have a full salad bar section also. All of the ingredients tasted fresh.
Great place to grab lunch. The fries are amazing along with the plethora of main meal options. The staff is always friendly and greet you with a smile, even when the overzealous mayor required mask. Thank you Manhattan for allowing your employees to evaluate their own risk levels and continuing to make great food. The last year made me an even more loyal customer.
I come here at least once a week and order the Tuscan Chicken sandwich every time because it is so good. They are always super quick and friendly. Today it took a little bit longer because of a mix-up, and the staff gave me a free meal coupon to use next time. Their food is so good and I will continue to come back!
It was my first time in today and loved it! The employees were very friendly and welcoming. Maybe the best potato salad I've ever had too.
I have been a huge fan of Manhattan Cafe since I first tried it from an Offline Perk in 2019. Their food is amazing and so affordable. I am a huge fan of the buffalo chicken wrap- don't forget the side of crack sauce, it is one of my favorite condiments ever. I love a good salad bar since they are so rare these days and this one is amazing and has so many options. I love that they make it for you and toss it up before putting it in the container. I recently took some coworkers who had never been before, and they all loved it. In 2019 they used to have Saturday hours so I wish they would add those back in. Or extend into Durham because I would be there every week.I did take off one star since when I went this week none of the employees had masks on, and there is still a mask mandate in Wake County at this time.
My wife and I stopped in this afternoon for a quick lunch. Terrific Cheesesteaks! Staff was friendly and the environment was fun. We really enjoyed our experience and will be coming back.
