Rump N Ribs Steakhouse

Head down to the Castlefield end of Liverpool Road and you'll find yourself in a proper steakhouse that doesn't faff about with foam or edible flowers. Rump N Ribs is the kind of place where you order a steak, it arrives cooked how you asked, and you get on with the serious business of eating it. The vibe is unpretentious—think leather booths, dim lighting, and tables packed with locals who know what they're after. You're paying decent money but not silly money; mains sit comfortably in the mid-range. It's buzzy without being trying-too-hard, and the sheer number of reviews speaks to people coming back repeatedly rather than chasing Instagram points.
