"Omg, just went into Wilsons while visiting Manchester and had one of the best meals."
"Food was good and although there was a small wait, the staff were definitely doing their best."
"Lovely atmosphere and really spacious especially for northern quarter standards. Food was excellent."
Cons:
"My wife had the sweet potato fritters and she said it was very salty, too salty."
"Food was ok but came out cold. Staff forgot what we had ordered."
"Service was slow, food was ok took ages to come out and was luke warm."
"Food came late and was luke warm and dry not very appetising."
"The food wasn't even very good... E.g. the poached eggs weren't soft at all."
"The halloumi salad was very overpriced for a handful from a Tesco salad bag and 3 slices of halloumi."
"Very average food. Sourdough was stale and inedible. Tomatoes were neither fresh nor cooked."

"Love this place! Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Particularly love coming in to see Denzil, top guy."
"Lovely bouncers greeted us and were happy and smiling not like bouncers you mostly get on doors."
"Great selection of events, fantastic atmosphere for the space they have."
"I had to write this review as I was so impressed with the service from Denzel, honestly can’t remember the last time I received customer service to that standard."
"The pub is great. Great atmosphere but what makes the place mega, is the staff they have."
Cons:
"Sadly not a great experience, food was good once it arrived after over 1 hour wait. The service is shocking."
"Location and setting is lovely however the service is utterly shocking."
"We visited on a Sunday morning, food was nice enough but service was terrible."
"Poor experience, staff were nice people but there was zero communication between them."
"The staff don't care who's next, and will serve whoever happens to be nearest."
"The service was so slow it was painful. Drinks took around 20 mins to come."
"Terrible service. Was there at night and it’s been a long time I’m not completely ignored in an almost empty bar."
"Service is awful, no food is worth this wait - after we were given a table and a coffee order was taken we were left sitting there for at least 15 minutes."
Atmosphere and Location
Pros:
"Wilson’s Social is a charming bar and restaurant located in Manchester’s Northern Quarter."
"The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for a casual meal with friends or family."
"Me and my boyfriend came here on Thursday around lunchtime. We ended up staying for hours longer than we had planned playing pool and trying out different drinks on their menu."
"This was a lovely bright open space for breakfast."
"Great easy going bar in the heart of the Northern Quarter. Always manage to find a seat even at the weekend."
"Good place for brunch and dog friendly. The shashuka was tasty."
"The place looks nice (edgy as my daughter put it). We popped in for lunch."
"Fantastic bar for drinking, we didn't eat so can't comment on food. Unusually later on there was a little dance area which was a great surprise."
Cons:
"Location and setting is lovely however the service is utterly shocking."
"It's so busy and not enough staff on. We waited for 15 minutes at the bar and we didn't get any nearer to the front."
"Not as good as it used to be before the takeover. Used to accommodate more for the people coming in for a few drinks."
"Friday night - music is really poor & drinks expensive not busy for obvious reasons!"
"Very slow service for the number of staff, with the knock-on effect that the food turns up lukewarm."
"Although the restaurant was busy it was by no means full and yet the host told us to wait at the bar to be seated for brunch."
"Terrible barman attitude avoid at all costs unless you want your drink thrown away simply by placing it on his bar."
"What a waste of time! After waiting for 10-15 min at the queue to place our order we were told that they could take our food order in 10 min because they were understaffed."
