We saw they were doing half price burgers for January so had to go. Glad we booked as it was obviously very busy. Staff were great, we were in and out within an hour, no messing out. Food came out quickly and everything we ordered was spot on. Definitely get the mac & cheese balls! ?? Only slight qualm was that everything could have been hotter. Plus paying to add salad onto your burger seemed a bit odd. There was only one burger that came with a ?salad stack? so you had to pay extra to add it to the others which I thought was a bit of a con. Usually salad comes as standard. But overall the experience was excellent. Good value for money with the promotion and generally quality food. Would definitely go back again.

Absolute rubbish, me and my son called in to take advantage of the 50% off offer!! Wow, more like 50% off the size of the burger, we left there feeling ripped off. Beware people, the offer isn?t as good as it seems.

Disappointing. Have been before and it was great but not this time. Seen quickly by a very friendly front of house lady who said it would be 10 minutes for the table and it was. After that we were ignored despite newer arrivals being seen first and no server seeming to know what had been ordered by any table The toilets had no toilet roll or soap. Food- onions and frazzles were stale. The bill was for an entirely different table and the 20% advertised discount for blue light card was more like 16%. I didn't want to add a tip but it had already been added. We won't be back.

What an expensive mistake this was, 13 pound odd for some sorry burger that looked like it?d been run over. doesn?t come with fries never again McDonald?s is better and it would cost you less than 2 quid.

Very overpriced for what it is, much better places for this type of food in town. The fact you?re paying top dollar for fast food esque, low quality burgers and they don?t even come with chips / a side is really disappointing. Save your money and go elsewhere!

Following our visit to Leeds university for their recent Open day we called into Almost Famous to see if the Burgers were as good as the reviews said. We weren?t disappointed! Well worth a visit and we didn?t have to book.

Food is great, the service charge is an annoying feature particularly as the service involves delivering the food from the kitchen and nothing much else. Took ages to get the bill and the tables are all dirty and did not see any being cleaned before the next customer sat.

Wow this place was amazing. From the good service to the food it was such a great visit. Our waitress sat us down quickly sorry I didn?t get her name but she had a friendly smile and brought our drinks with no worries. We orders from the lunch deal which was £10 for a choice of burger and fries. Between 12-4pm such a good deal You can pay £2 extra for sauce and crispy bacon bits on the fries which my boyfriend did. Our burgers where cooked to perfection. We also ordered bbq chicken wings and Mac and cheese balls oh my god the max and cheese balls were the best thing I?ve ever tasted. These also came with side dips plus I ordered the blue cheese sauce as an extra this too was so so good. Please try this place I?m sure you want be disappointed. Funky place loved the lolli pop table. And giant gorilla in the corner. If I?m ever in Leeds again I will definitely be coming back

Ate here on bank holiday Monday (28th Aug) having been to both Manchester venues a few times and always had decent experiences. Ate with my wife and two sons (10 and 14). I?ll start by saying we are aware that businesses need to make a profit and also that we aren?t tight-fisted. We don?t mind paying for decent food, but tonight we were horrified by the visit and regretting going out of our way to visit. The place is dark, dingy and dirty. The menus are sticky and look like they need a clean and the tables are just dirty. The whole place is tired looking and the staff reflect this as they look like they?ve just got out of bed. We waited a long time after being seated (having booked online) just to be acknowledged and order drinks. The food was average at best and extremely overpriced. We paid a smidge under £100 for the four of us. Almost £10 of this was a SERVICE CHARGE which was NOT advertised anywhere. That?s just wrong. We asked for hot sauce for the fries and got charged a pound for a little mini pot of some Tabasco type sauce. That?s just obscene when you?re paying that much and any other burger place we have visited have it already on the table. As a matter of principle, especially when you factor in the sub-par service, dreadful venue and average (at best!) food, these hidden costs are a kick in the teeth. We didn?t complain as we are too polite, but needless to say we won?t be returning. Avoid.

Tables were sticky and menus covered in sauce. Service dressed in what can only be described as pyjamas. Cocktails arrived and one tasted like pure lemon juice, clearly used the wrong measures. Food arrived on what looked like a plastic play set from a kids kitchen. The holes in the plastic basket meant the sauce leaked all over the table which explains the sticky table and dirty menus. Food was poor quality, tiny portions and overcooked. Once served we didn?t hear from service again until 10 minutes after we finished then had the cheek to automatically add service charge for carrying the food all of 20 feet from the kitchen. Overall this place is trying too hard to be trendy and serving burger van quality food at best. Would definitely not advise visiting.

Studenty vibe liked the venue. Service very friendly very good. Food disappointing - burger was ok fries were bit bland gluten free - staff knowledgeable and aware choose of 2 burgers chicken or beef so disappointed as combinations looked great could have fries or bacon fries without the bacon!!?? Basically fries with cheese! Really disappointed tbh far far better for same price at fat hippo or bread meats bread - sadly won?t be back

Visited on Saturday evening with a few friends. Have been coming to af for many years usually the Manchester one . We ordered a round of drinks and the larger wasn't great it was flat, fair enough we still drank it anyway food toom forever to come staff were rude and when the food did arrive the mac balls were well overcooked and very dark brown burgers and fries were okay . The Manchester one is 100x better nicer staff and the food is very consistent

The burgers were delicious as were the bacon loaded fries. Sadly the service wasn?t great. Very slow to bring drinks and order. Plus, took a while when something was missing for it to come. It?s lucky the food was so good!

Visited at lunchtime with my teenage son. I would agree with previous reviewers that the place is quite dark and looks to be in need of a good clean. Our table was sticky and in hindsight I should really have asked for it to be wiped. Food came quickly and was ok, nothing special. Glasses of soda filled with plenty of ice so you don?t really get much drink which is needed when the fries are so salty. 10% service charge was added to our bill without mention which I find a bit underhand. Doubtful we?ll return.
