Just had dinner here, honestly the food wasn't horrible but it wasn't good. All of it was bland. Had the French onion soup, house salad, chicken and shrimp, and scallops. The scallops were the best out of all 4 but still needed a heavy amount of salt and pepper. Then we sat there for a while waiting for someone to just take our plates but people kept just walking by. Finally our waiter showed up and the stench of cigarettes was so bad I couldn't believe it. Not worth going to but not the worst place I've ever eaten. read more

Just gave this a second try. Was not impressed my first time here when they opened. Food was good but it was so crowded and loud that I could not even hear the person talking next to me. Fast forward to last week, gave it another try. My dinner was amazing and my drink was off the charts. Adding sexy fries to the menu-huge win read more

Had a wonderful meal today at the Northbound. Staff was very helpful n friendly, thank you Debbie! read more

Northbound - Delicious meal at the Northbound in Souderton. Wonderful friendly staff. Debbie our waitress was very sweet. We'll be back!! - Gastropubs Near Me - Souderton, Pennsylvania

Just might be our new "go to" place for a great bite to eat and great atmosphere. If our next visit is as good as our first I'll give it 5 stars. You can tell the staff is still getting a handle of their new jobs but if it's like the Butcher and Barkeep that won't be a problem. Pizza was so good. Rich and savory. A must share for a table of 4. Eat in the bar area if possible. A little loud but great vibe. Outside dining is worth the wait. Spacious and bright. read more

Not likely to return after our visit tonight. The quoted 15 min wait turned into a 45 min wait. People arriving after us were seated before us. When we were the last people on the lobby and I inquired about our table they said, sorry we only have outdoor seating available now (32 temp with space heaters). Server was unaccommodating with modifications to dish (leaving starch off plate interfeared with flavors generated by the chef). While making the guest feel uncomfortable with this situation, they just ordered the standard dish, that was ultimately modified to her liking....why the debate? Server asked how you want your salmon cooked. When responding with fish is cooked until meat is not translucent, she proceeded to belittle our questioning the inquiry. Drink of the day was bitter and drink order took 15 min to arrive. I have dined in all major cities across the country in some great establishments. This is a local restaurant with an attitude that will drive customers away. Don't waist your dollars on this place, try the Washington House just a few minutes away. read more

This was my first time a Northbound. I'm definitely coming back. I got the pizza my friend got a sandwich. Both were very good. Service was great. read more

First time at Northbound w our relatives. Food and drinks were delicious. We ordered Sexy Fries for us (party of 4) which we finished in minutes. Our server Dillion was excellent: friendly and helped us w deciding which entrees. We ordered wedge salad, bake potato soup, avocado toast sandwich, and roast pork sand which all of them were so good. We finished our plates. Drinks were good and served to our table quickly. Loved how they restored the building and the design of the restaurant. Highly recommend w family or date night! read more

Newly renovated train station, great service and good food. Nice cocktail and beer selection, some options that I had not seen in the past. Outdoor seating near train tracks is a great on a cool day/night. read more

Greeted at the door with a new 90 minute policy. Essentially you have 90 minutes to get in and out. Literally asked the party of 6 next to us to leave after they had finished eating. Waiter didn't even greet us on arrival. Menu very limited and portions very small. Left hungry after paying what would have been the cost of a real meal. Disappointing and rude. Wouldn't go back. read more

We had an absolutely awesome time at Northbound tonight. The Burger was great but the Pork Belly was out of this world. 100% unique and original to Northbound which is why I think it's so special. We will be back! read more

Had to try this place out. Placed seemed busy so we were very hopeful! Food was okay. Very limited menu- no appetizers. Ordered the brisket sandwich and the crispy chicken thigh sandwich. Again, it was just ok. Fries were like allsmall pieces and had to eat with a fork. Ordered a side of cheese sauce for the fries and it was flavorless. Overpriced for the quality of the food. Drinks were good though! read more

Went out to dinner with another couple and really had a good time, the food, drinks and service are all amazing. All their drinks are made with Board Room Spirits a local distillery, ordered every specialty drink they have and doubles if some they are all so good. The pizza and sexy fries are also amazing. read more

I wasn't terribly impressed despite the hype. The atmosphere and decor was great- really kept the train station vibe with the steel and wood. Otherwise the food was just ok. I'm a vegetarian and was super limited on options. My salad was super heavily dressed. The fries were good (jalapeños made them!) but my cauliflower steak looked like it had been chopped up and thrown on the plate. Flavors were decent but like I said, one vegan option and maybe 4 vegetarian. read more

My husband and I just left Northbound on our date night. It was fantastic! I had the beet salad and veggie pizza and my husband had the burger and the soup of the day - chicken and mushroom. Our server - Dylan - was really friendly and attentive. I had the it's always sunny in souderton and another drink that I'm forgetting and they were out of this world. The food was incredible, the pizza seriously was hands down the best. We're definitely coming back. read more

We are moving away from the Philly area and wanted to meet friends for what may be the last time. As we were seated we were informed that we would only be allowed to stay 90 minutes. By gum, at exactly 90 minutes we were asked to leave. Food was average at best. No steaks, no chops, very sub-average menu. Loud music. In fairness, the wait staff was very friendly. read more

Very good unorthodox recipes. Have gone for breakfast and dinner and loved them both.

It's great to have a trendy restaurant in Souderton. And as much as I wanted to fall in love with this place (because I absolutely LOVE Butcher and Barkeep), I was a little less than impressed. They are keeping the menus completely separate, which is fine. But I definitely feel like the food at B&B is much better. We had a group of 4 and ordered the Northbound Fries as an appetizer, thinking it would be similar to the Sexy Fries at B&B. They were not and were probably less than 1/2 the size. Totally fine but just not expecting that. I had the soft shell crab special for dinner and it was...just ok. Not bad, but not great either. We will definitely go back again as we love supporting local. And now that our expectations are set, maybe it will be even better. read more

Great food, drinks, and service! Would come back here again! This was the first Saturday night they were open and everything was fabulous. read more

My wife and I ate at the bar and had a great time. The bartenders were great and the food was delicious. I had the Northbound seafood Soup gimmick that the bartender recommended, which was awosome. My wife had the grilled chicken and shrimp. We will definitely be going back! read more

The four of us went there on a Sunday night. We were told that there was a 20 minute wait. No problem went to the bar. Both bartenders were excellent and courteous. I noticed a lot of empty tables. Why the wait? We were seated near the bar. I was told they only had one server . Someone called out. We were pleasantly surprised. We were waited on by one of the bartenders. Food was excellent. It was a team effort and they didn't miss a beat. Hats off to the all the employees. One of the bartenders was the assistant manager. I'm sorry I did not get his name. He was the initially waited on us. Great job. We will be back. read more

Service was slow, food overpriced and nothing too special. It was a cozy place, pleasant environment. Won't go back unless I'm snowed in and nothing else is open again haha. read more

Love Northbound. Our food was fantastic and our server was even better. The atmosphere was awesome. read more

New and only High end food spot in Souderton. Menu items are still reasonable at 12-18 for most. Craft cocktails using local sister brewery are good as well. No TV behind the bar just a bright neon sign and bright attentive bartenders. Outdoor patio seating along seldomly used train tracks read more

Excellent food, great drink selection and wonderful, friendly, helpful and convenient service

We had a luncheon here with 15+ people and it went very smoothly. The service was good, the food came out in a decent amount of time, and everyone seemed to enjoy the food. read more

This was our first time to Northbound and frankly we were underwhelmed. Started at the very beginning when the hostess was not very warm and welcoming. The outside patio has potential to be great but the furniture was cheap and off balance so our table was rocking back and forth the whole time. Service staff was friendly but too slow and the food was hit and miss for our group. Food presentation was nice though. I think Northbound has potential to be a great spot as its a great location and the building is great, but needs some improvement. read more

Went there for dinner tonight and got the chicken thigh sandwich. The piece of chicken was so small that the sandwich was mostly bun. We asked for a side of anchovies for our Cesar salad and they charged us $1 per anchovy. Ordered the short rib fries and didn't see one piece of short rib. Not the best experience I've ever had there. read more

Our new favorite local place! Food atmosphere and our server Dylan were fantastic! Highly recommended. Unique palette pleasing dishes, definately on our frequent list! Bon Appetit read more

Northbound has the best "Caution Do Not Step on the Tracks" drink! Equally is the outstanding Nicole bartender who made the drinks. She is full of knowledge about events and mixology and an outstanding upbeat personality. She is an exemplary employee and a huge asset to Northbound. We highly recommend Northbound and stop at the bar to say hello to Nicole! read more

Disappointment all around. Arrived on a Saturday before 5pm, waited about 5-10 minutes to be seated. Ordered drinks, turns out the servers have no idea what they do or don't have. Had to order a different beer because they were out of what we ordered. Heard the same thing happen at the table nearby. First up was the french onion soup...it was hugely disappointing. I didn't like anything about it..the cheese was wrong the flavor was off...it tasted like sugar was added to the broth, after a few bites I decided not to eat it. For excellent french onion soup you just can't beat Bubba's potbelly stove. Next up was a beet salad which was supposed to have spinach...absolutely no spinach in this salad, the entire thing was arugula which I despise - when we mentioned this to our server he agreed it is supposed to have some spinach but then left it at that. I ate the beets, walnuts, cheese and left all the arugula. My husband had a steak and he said that was ok. By this time our server was no where to be seen. When he finally appeared and we ordered dessert. I ordered the budino, and my husband chose the peanutbutter mousse pie with oreo crust. Presentation on the desserts was lovely. Desserts were good but very very sweet, would have loved it if they had a more balanced flavor. It took a great deal of time to get our server to pay our bill we attempted to get his attention several times but at this point we were being ignored, walking by without ever giving our table a glance. By the time we finally got him to run our card to pay our bill we were annoyed and just wanted to leave. The train station decor is lovely, although it was quite loud in there. The servers are difficult to differentiate from patrons, their attire seems ultra casual and no consistency whatsoever. Very disappointing overall, we had such high hopes. read more

Food is pretty good there. A little expensive but you get what you pay for in return for fancier and well made dishes with unique additions. If you're looking to try it I'd recommend it! read more

Been here a bunch of times. Went last sunday around 530. I had the ribs my wife had the brisket. Both were served on a metal plat with paper under the meat. Not a good idea we both noticed the paper had disolved and we wondered if we were eating it with our dinners. Both meals came with this sliced white bread that must have come from Giant or something. Formthe price we paid that shouldve been a dinner roll or something fancier. The waiter said we could use the bread to make a taco like thing. Please I didnt know they were Taco Bell in disguise. Next time use a plate for the dinners without paper under the meat which has juices that make the paper wet and it tears and sticks to the meat and you eat it, yuck! We wont be going back here for a long while. read more

A failed attempt to provide a 5 star dining experience. Way too expensive for what you get. I don't mind paying for a wonderful meal, but I shouldn't feel hungry when I leave. Good food, not great, good environment, not great. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Northbound and I left disappointed. The bartender took cash from our group of five AND ran my card for all of our drinks as well! She seemed annoyed when after dinner we all realized her mistake. She did give me money back but argued that she gave the cash back. Food was ok. Avocado toast was soaked in balsamic I could barely taste the avocado. Crab imperial was extremely fishy tasting. Sexy fries were ok- have had them at butcher and barkeep and I have had better. read more

Wow the food here is excellent. The salad was perfect and the right proportion. The French onion soup was so amazingly good. The soup was simply delicious. The salmon was freshly caught and cooked to perfection. Presentation of the meal was beautiful. Then there is creme brûlée's for dessert. The cuisine here is excellent. Definitely one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I am a raving fan and will definitely be a frequent visitor. read more

A note, to begin: we had lunch here during their first week, so I will definitely be trying again, once they have ironed out a few of the bumps in the road. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and all ordered something off of their lunch menu that sounded appealing. Their potato soup was delicious! Their drink menu is unique and very inventive (not my style, so I didn't try any, but a lunch companion enjoyed a few of their cocktails). I ordered the avocado toast - it was a beautiful presentation and quite delicious...my only complaint is that, for such a thick, crusty (so GOOD) bread, and beautifully roasted vegetables, there was hardly enough avocado to call it "Avocado Toast." Other than that, we enjoyed our experience, we thought the staff was helpful (albeit, hard to identify in their jeans and t-shirts), and we will definitely be trying lunch here (and maybe dinner soon) again! read more

I was excited to support this new local establishment but walked away a bit disappointed. We were indifferently greeted, waited extensively for food, and sat on cheap patio furniture. But, the food presentation was delightful, our server friendly, and the heat lamps on the patio made outdoor eating possible. The prices are fair and I hope the restaurant can adapt to find success. read more

Excellent. I'll only mention one menu item since I couldn't imagine what it actually was, but we like veggies and like to try different foods. Cauliflower steak. Roasted cauliflower & a bunch of other veggies. Delicious. We ordered as an appetizer and split two ways, but I could have finished it myself. P.S. OK I'll mention desserts too. Ice cream & Italian pudding to die for. Well-run place. Highly recommend it. read more

Pretty good experience for the first time visiting. The Burbon was good. The food was a limited selection but very good. The wine selection was very limited and not good plus they charge a premium for a glass. The bar service was excellent but the waitress service need s improvement. Also they have tech trying to organize the tables but it was messed up. We got a call to say the table would be a while longer then we got a text saying the the table was ready. Then after we sat at the table I got another call asking if I was still interested in a table for the evening. Overall they have a lot of potential but they need to fix the wine selection and iron out the service issues. read more

Love this very unique and cozy spot. The craft cocktails are delicious and so is the food. Excellent service!
