Karen's Diner Manchester: Reviews & Ratings
Last was definitely rememberable, from the minute we stepped in we felt the overall pressure in the best way. Not one person came out of character once and if anything gave more insults than expected. Jodie the little cowboy booted diamond was hilarious, from throwing our menus on the floor, to trying to get my son set up with a bunch of girls on the opposite table, and went right in at him for his birthday, to the whole staff singing happy birthday... well sort of! A night we will not be forgetting, fair play Karen's Manchester you did not disappoint!
Laughing from entering to leaving! I had such a fun time & it was nice to sit back, not care & just have a genuine laugh among like minded people. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had, there should be more places like this. I’d like to say the staff were lovely but obviously that wouldn’t be accurate, as they aren’t meant to be haha! But they were fab and do such a great job and serving and entertaining everyone at the same time. The food is reasonably priced and very tasty! Would definitely return again.
We went for the experience after seeing the viral social media videos. The staff are absolutely hilarious. We were absolutely crying with laughter. The food is good. Highly recommended, but please do not go if you're easily offended.
Excellent place, staff was very rude (that's the point ) they entertained the whole place with the games they played. Food was great, very small menu (you go here for entertainment tho) but the food was exceptional and very tasty, definitely will be going again
Speaking about karens diner of course the Restaurant has 5 Stars. Amber did an faboulous job to entertain us. The Restaurant clearly lived up to it's Standards Bad Service and awesome food. My burger was Juicy and the milkshake was the best one I ever had. I totally recommand booking here.
Took our friend for her birthday. Had a brilliant time. Food was really really nice. Madison our waitress was really fun. Overall really good experience and would go again
Went to the Manchester diner for my birthday, had Madison as our waitress, she was amazing, funny and really made the experience for us. The food was quite tasty, even though I thought the food prices were a little on the high side, the overall experience of the restaurant is what you’re paying for, and it is well worth it. Accommodating, considering we were late and had one less person for our table. Overall, the restaurant experience was very different, but hilarious, entertaining and we will be back. If you intend or are curious to go, be prepared for unexpected ridiculing, funny humiliation, and actively having to take part in entertainment.
I come here for my friends birthday and it was a right laugh, we played a game, the staff sang happy birthday to my friend which was hilarious! The food was really nice and the cocktails were good too just slightly expensive. But overall was a good experience and I would definitely return.

Such dedicated commitment to entertainment ensures that each moment is filled with fun rather than formality.
The food here doesn't take a backseat to the antics either.
