Manhattan Cafe

Great lunch spot in Raleigh! My coworker, Ezra, picked it out and we both enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Great variety on the menu between paninis, salads, soup, etc. Quite often you can learn a lot about business when things don't go as planned. A customer spilled their drink my coworker and I both jumped up to help clean up and notify the team working behind the counter. When I told him he smiled and said "no problem". I'll take care of it" and grabbed the mop immediately. I'm a big fan of Manhattan cafe.

I was given the wrong order and had to return to get the correct one which was placed in the back of the store. Next, I discovered the turkey on the Harvest Turkey Sandwich was stale.I don't need an apology. I just will not order from Manhattan Cafe again.

I tried this place for lunch. I ordered online to go. Service was really fast. By the time I walked over from by the courthouse my food was ready and waiting. The place was busy because it was lunchtime so I didn't interact with the staff. I has the chicken calabrese and it was good. The chicken didn't taste like it was seasoned but the sauce they gave on the side helped a lot. I also tried the potato salad and that was great! I can't wait to go back and try more things!

Well I had high hopes for this place. It is always packed and smells good walking past. I went in today the customer service was great. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap with fries and a drink. Being honest the chicken is dry and nothing about the wrap says buffalo. It does not have any spice to it and really honestly kind of bland. The salad bar looked really good. Maybe I'll try that the next time.

Place was recommended by my sister. She was a frequent customer prior to the pandemic.The pick two was a popular item and that's what my son choose. He ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap with a side salad. He got to customize the salad with 3 toppings. He said it was the best wrap he ever had. I order the salad and customized it with chicken and other toppings. The Buffalo ranch was a great dressing. I also ordered the Cajun chicken panini. I with it was more toppings due to the dryness but the sauce they provided really help and was delicious. We both recommend the salad!!! Ingredients were so fresh and picking your toppers made it even better. We love great salads. The place was smaller on the inside and it was busy so we decided to take the food to go. However, the staff was very nice and brought the food right to us. They also have tv in there if you dine in.

I have frequently lamented that's it's nearly impossible to find a restaurant based on how good their salads are and WOW this place must have heard me complaining because that's the best salad I've had in a long time. Yeah it's a "salad bar" but it's behind glass and the servers make it and toss it for you based on your selections. They have a beautiful variety (no iceberg to be seen!) with plenty of meat and vegetarian protein options, good cheeses, and colorful mixins. You can walk there from the convention center, too.

Visit here frequently. They are always fast during the lunch rush. Fresh food, always good. Staff is always helpful

The food was good but it is a bit cramped indoors. Probably better for outdoor eating.

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.

I ordered ahead during lunchtime rush hour midweek and my order was ready on time. Nice service and the salad was fresh and delicious. The place is on the smaller side with some tables outside. Very cool art inside.
