Frankster's Manchester, Salford

You're heading down Comus Street towards the Al Murad car park, dodging the usual Salford hustle, when you spot Frankster's tucked into Fairbank House. It's the kind of place that respects the burger enough not to overthink it—think thick-cut patties, proper cheese melts, and toppings that actually complement rather than compete. The vibe is properly casual, no faffing about with candles and mood lighting. This is where you go when you want something that tastes expensive but won't leave your wallet crying. You'll find locals, students, and anyone who knows a solid burger when they taste one.
