Sam's Chop House
I have dined at Sam's a good number of time's over the years, but my last visit left me feeling underwhelmed. We stood near the restaurant waiting around 5 mins to be acknowledged, the waitress took us to a small table for 2 left side that felt cramped and boxed in, even though there was plenty of empty tables. We'd no sooner looked at the menu she was back asking was we ready to order we asked for a little more time. We both ordered the same pudding chips and peas, over priced for what it was. Took us a good while to attract someones attention for the bill with a 10 % service charge, for what as far as I'm concerned the service was sub standard we paid it but won't be in a rush to return anytime soon. Wouldn't mind it was a week day and quite.

Recent visit to Manchester and stumbled on this little gem. For all I know it might be one of the most famous bars / restaurants in Manchester! If so it's rightfully deserved.I had the sirloin pork steak. I have eaten chops before but never a pork steak. Was divine, so full of flavour and went down very well.Prior to the main I had their Pork Scratchings which were out of this world, warm, salty (!) and again full of flavour. They were a treat. Definitely going to visit again when there for my next gig and going to try a steak.My wife had the Sam's Famous Cornbeef Hash which she found delicious.

Very poor experience overall. We’ve drank a few times in the pub which is great and classic and one day we dared to try the restaurant. We were extremely disappointed, the waitress seemed incompetent and made a lot of mistakes, although her service was friendly. We ended up getting the wrong dishes brought over and sent them back, overall we waited at least 40 minutes for a couple of burgers. When they did arrive they were pretty lack lustre and not worth the overpriced menu, we began to laugh at how bad they actually were, bland ‘meat’, stale bread, unmelted cheese and anaemic chips. All in all a disaster for this overpriced weatherspoons. One saving grace was the management, we didn’t kick up a fuss but they recognised their shortcomings and gave us 50% off without even mentioning it which was a nice touch. Sadly I wouldn’t recommend and there are far far nicer restaurants in Manchester for a lot less money! This one is a miss and I wouldn’t recommend

Excellent Sunday roast! We got the chicken and beef one, and both were very tasty. When you come in, you have the feeling to be in a typical old pub. Service was very friendly, professional and fast. Nice selection of beers.

Came in with a reservation and they sat us in a small table in the corner while there was plenty of empty space and better seats in the restaurant.When we ordered, we asked for the starter to come with our mains and the waiter said no problem but they still served the starter first and not with the mains. When we had questions about the food, the waiter was not familiar with the menu or ingredients at all, he could not answer any of our questions.The crab cake was nice, it was a good choice to have as a side. We had steak which was £32 but was not impressed with the flavour and texture. We felt like it was overpriced for the quality.Then lastly we had their cheese burger, but surprisingly it did not have any burger sauce which made the burger felt so dry. We did ask the waiter if there were any burger sauce, he said he doesn’t know and just smiled and walked away.Also most of the time, there weren’t any waiter/waitress around, which felt like there was no service at all.By the time we got our bill, they charged us extra for items we did not order. We had to wait around 10 minutes for a staff to walk in the restaurant then correct the bill for us.We did come here before and it was delightful. But that was a year ago and maybe the management has worsened on the staff and food.Overall, with the price of £30-40 per person, it was not a pleasant experience due to the food quality, staff management and customer service. Yet, they do have 10% service charge.I don’t mind the cost. But just really hope the staffs will be better trained and be the steakhouse it once was.Unfortunately with this experience, I won’t be returning here anytime soon.

Great bar. Always a warm friendly welcome. Nice to have a drink with Mr Lowry at the bar. Decent price and good choice of drinks within the city centre. We didn't eat here but the food looked and smelt gorgeous!

I visit there second time because it was good in the first time. The crab cake was good and rabbit pie was nice.I hosted a meetup with my friend there but we had bad experience. You must expect the service there is slow and delayed. We ordered desserts but it took around 30 mins to come. Also, when we asked for checking the bill, it also took 20~30 mins to come. It is hard to find the service during dinner. We tried to find them but they were busy at bar or in kitchen.Although the first visit amused me, the second visit was a little bit unexpected and disappointing.

Dining Experience @ Sam's Chop House..Established by Samuel Studd in 1868, now operated by the owner of The Victorian Chop House Company, Roger Ward. The concept of Sam's Chop House is a sit-down restaurant..Loved their Scotch Egg (GBP £6.50) rendition. The exterior is coated with crisp breadcrumbs, wrapped with tender sausage meat, while the soft boiled egg within is bouncy soft. Has bready meaty savoury salty eggy sweet flavour. Served over a fresh salad of crisp rocket leaves / arugula, crunchy cucumber, juicy sun-dried cherry tomato, and crisp red onions, combining for vegetal earthy bitter herbal sweet flavour..The 10-Ounce Grilled Sirloin With Chips (GBP £27) features a large succulent cut of beef sirloin steak, tender chewy juicy as a result of the marbling running through it and around it. Grilled till perfectly medium-rare, with robust smoky meaty savoury flavour. Accompanied with thick-cut English potato chips, these are crisp outside fluffy inside, carrying good starchy salty savoury flavour. I chose a gravy boat of peppercorn, thick with savoury salty peppery spice flavour, really punchy..Novel experience with the Black Treacle Sponge Pudding (GBP £7.50). The thick sticky black treacle carries smoky salty bitter sweet flavour, contrasting the sponge pudding with its spongy soft moist texture and grainy floral earthy sweet flavour. The creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream and its floral earthy sweet milky flavour served to alleviate the depth of taste in this dessert.
