Coast to Coast,

The Trafford Centre, Trafford Park, Stretford, Manchester M17 8EH

"Went to Coast to Coast in the Trafford Centre for lunch on a busy Saturday. We mentioned to our host, Alex, that my son had a dairy allergy. Alex took the time to go through the menu with my son, explaining what he could and couldn't eat, and also was able to suggest items that were dairy free. Normally, people just hand you the allergy menu. We were very impressed with Alex's friendliness, professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you Alex, for making this a memorable meal. Not my son's food pictured, but everything was delicious."

"Decent American restaurant, friendly staff and good service. Portions were quite generous. However the ribs didn’t really the bbq taste or like a flame taste that I expected and the tender stem broccoli was over cooked or would if given it a 5 star. Have not tried the burgers yet but that looks quite nice."

"Really nice atmosphere, clean with cool decor. Staff were very friendly and food reasonably priced. We came on a Saturday afternoon and even though busy the food came quickly. I would definitely recommend this place."

"Coast to Coast is another chain American Restaurant experience but can it standout in an already crowded market? Visiting the Trafford Centre in Manchester offers up a bounty of choices for every pallet but when you are a party of three with differing tastes, the choices become less bountiful. Coast to Coast covered it however. With a pizza for my son, BBQ spare ribs and chicken for my wife and a burger for me, the restaurant had us covered. The standard of the food was good. The pizza was quite large for the child’s menu, much to the joy of my 7 year-old (other chain restaurants take note), my wife’s Ribs & Chicken were especially good (I had to admit I had order envy) and my burger was fine but not the best I’ve had from an American chain. The kids meal also included an ice-cream, so again my son was happy. The drinks were a mix however, as my wife enjoyed an ice-cream lemonade float, my son always loves an apple juice and I had a draft Diet Coke. As is the problem with any restaurant that has Coca-Cola installed, the choice is restrictive and not very appealing (no variation like Cherry Coke etc). Also the draft soft drink was not refillable, like many other American chains. While the decor was very standard U.K. American restaurant style, more like a Frankie & Benny’s replacement than anything new, the atmosphere was good and the service was attentive if a little rushed (our drinks order was wrong and it seemed an inconvenience to change it). Would I recommend it Coast to Coast, probably, would I go again…not sure."
