  I ordered French onion soup. There was no cheese and its served with crackers. Typically when I order this it has cheese and fresh bread. I like the atmosphere. It was during a busy time.

  I’ve been eating at Manhattan regularly for nearly 7 years and have never had a bad meal or experience! The staff is fast, friendly and intentional. They remember names and greet everyone who comes in the door with a smile, even when they’re in the lunch rush.
  
  Their salad bar is hands down the best in the city and the most bang for your buck. Their sandwiches are distinctive and delicious. And their catering is always on time and on point.
  
  Don’t miss this place if you’re in Downtown Raleigh for a weekday lunch!

  I will say that I will never order a Philly cheesesteak from here again but I’ll give it another try and order something different. They hardly put any meat, cheese, onions, & mushrooms and could only taste bread. I don’t have much faith in any places selling a Philly and closest place to a decent Philly around here seems like Jersey mikes. Better than most sandwich shops trying to make a Philly. Load that bread down with meat & cheese!! I understand cost but I would rather pay a little more money for a good ratio meat to bread sandwich. You can see from my photo that there is way more bread than meat. It was still good but just not worth the money.
  I did like the shoe strong fries with the seasoning and dipping sauce it came with. That was really good. I love the location and it’s a cool spot to grab lunch. They have plenty of sandwiches, burgers, wraps, soups, & salads to choose from. They also have some indoor & outdoor seating. Only other downfall is the location. It’s downtown so parking may be an issue but I found a spot on the street not far from the place & there is also parking garages.

  We loved our visit to Manhattan Café yesterday! The staff was friendly, the food was amazing and the space had a good vibe. Will definitely be coming back next time we’re in Raleigh. We especially loved the fries, the Reuben, and the tomato soup.

  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.
