YOLO Burger & Milkshake Bar

YOLO. You will have heard this abbreviation floating around conversations and in the hip-hop industry. It is the contraction of the popular motto ‘you only live once’ and, in my opinion, the perfect excuse to use when you want to avoid living by the rules and eat lots of burgers.

The menu specialises in its large selection of gourmet burgers including beef, chicken and fish.  A couple of choices that caught my eye were the ‘YoMexicano Burger’ which contains a special spicy sauce and salsa, and the ‘B’n’C’ which consists of strips of bacon and chicken. Other options include pizzas, southern fried or grilled chicken and chicken wings. YOLO has vegetarian options, all food is 100% halal and is supplied locally.

The restaurant opened recently so I asked about any special offers. Assad, the owner, laughs as he tells me about the food challenge ‘Man vs. YOLO’- it includes eating two 8oz beef patties, a chicken and bacon burger, hot chicken wings, onion rings, potato wedges and a large milkshake. It’s worth £14.99 but is free if you can eat it in under half an hour.

Special opening deals also include a 10% discount for students and for those who ‘check in’ on Facebook. YOLO is also one of the only restaurants that offer a delivery service during the day so look out for the YOLO smart cars driving around Manchester. Their first franchise is due to open soon in Bolton.
