In a city brimming with fast-food options, Boxco in Manchester truly stands out as a beacon of quality, proving that "fast" doesn't have to mean compromising on freshness or flavor. If you're tired of establishments cutting corners, Boxco is the refreshing antidote, where everything is made from scratch with a clear philosophy: "because you deserve better!" My recent visit was an absolute delight, centered around their steak and mushroom sandwich, which I can confidently say was the best steak sandwich I have ever eaten! This wasn't just a sandwich; it was a culinary experience. Each bite was a testament to the excellent ingredients, from the succulent, chunky steak to the perfectly fresh, toasted bread and the wonderfully prepared mushrooms. Beyond the superior components, there was an unmistakable sense that this dish was crafted with love, elevating it far beyond typical fare. The indulgence didn't stop there. Their fresh homemade blueberry cake was an absolute triumph – incredibly soft, it quite literally melted in the mouth, a perfect companion to my meal. Boxco also caters brilliantly to the fitness-conscious, offering an impressive array of fresh box meals, burritos, and sandwiches. Their amazing selection of chicken, beef, and vegetarian options ensures that healthy eating never has to sacrifice taste or variety. The ambiance at Boxco is as inviting as the food. The relaxed interior provided the perfect backdrop for me to happily spend an hour, savoring every last bite of my sandwich and cake while leisurely sipping a latte and watching the world go by. It’s a place where you feel genuinely comfortable unwinding and enjoying your meal at your own pace. Without a doubt, I will be returning to Boxco again and again. For anyone in Manchester seeking truly fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared food in a welcoming setting, Boxco is an absolute must-visit. They aren't just serving food; they're serving an experience that genuinely respects the customer's palate and well-being. All good is halal!
Amazing! I love this place! The food is incredible! Healthy, fresh, handmade and delicious. The team are so lovely, they gave me recommendations, helped me decide, and they were on top of the cleaning - the minute someone left, they were there straight away to clean the table. I loved the beef taco bowl with brown rice, beans, salad and fresh lemon. And matcha latte. It was hard to decide because they had such a great range of drinks (turmeric latte, fresh fruit smoothies, teas and coffees). Amazing decor and fab music (I spent much of my time finding the tracks so I could listen to them later). Definitely coming back with the family!
Really good food, and the staff are lovely. The only tip I'd give is if you're getting a bowl, upgrade to large as the portion is quite small otherwise. I got the Jerk chicken bowl. If you're looking for something a little healthier, and high protein, here's the place to be.
Absolutely love this place!! First time trying Boxco yesterday me and my 2 friends and no lie it was fire!! Baaangiiin! The menu was so good i struggled to choose as everything looked and sounded amazing. Such a wonderful cool place. The outside seating caught my attention when i passed going to the shops and had to go check it out..and the inside was just the same and Walking in listening to Cuban Jazz had me dancing in place while I was trying to order my food. Ken who served us was super welcoming and talked to us bout the menu, drinks and history of the place. We were made to feel comfortable right from the off. I had the spicy beef burrito which was deeelicious and packing full of flavours, fresh and healthy! Can't wait to go back and try something from the healthy breakfast menu. The whole place was a vibe. You'd be mad not to try here!
Fantastic freshly cooked food and friendly staff. Best food we had on a 4 day trip to Manchester — all served with lovely smiles and cool Latin American dance tunes.. Keep up the good work!!!!
Went for the first time today, was really good. I am back in the area soon so will definitely be back. Great service and friendly welcome plus excellent food. Highly recommended
Stumbled across this place with my friend and our 2 young daughters when looking for lunch near Moss Side Leisure centre. Fantastic little eatery! Food was tasty and healthy and fairly priced. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend.
Lovely place- great vibe and atmosphere to the place. I had the teriyaki prawns which was delicious - £9.50 so I would’ve expected a few more prawns but still good. Jerk chicken bowl was delicious too and good value- more expensive than other places in the area but still lovely.
