Northbound

Very cool location in the train station. The food was great and not too expensive for the portion sizes. The peanut butter mousse was so amazing!

We like to ask our wait staff for recommendations. Our waitress did not let us down! We tried everything she recommended and everything was delicious. I had the gnocchi and my husband had the bolognese. Our waitress was great! We had reserved a table for 5:30, but probably wasn't necessary. However, when we left, people were waiting. We can't wait to go back again!

The Northbound is a higher class American bistro style restaurant that serves high quality food. All of the food I tried was delicious. The cheesesteak was moist and flavorful with fresh bread. The handout fries were crisp and popped with handmade freshness. The jerk chicken exploded with flavor on the nachos covered in delicious cheese sauce. You don’t come here for cheap food, you come here for the experience and to bump it up a notch on your taste buds.

Moved to Souderton about a year ago now, and my girlfriend and I make it a point to come here almost bi weekly at this point!! We went to the prefix dinner tonight, and it was excellent!!! The price point for what they charged, compared to what was served, was a bargain in my book. This is also coming from someone who worked on the industry for long enough, not some social media person who never worked in the industry 🫡

Haven’t been to Northbound in years, and tonight was the first time my family has been back. And what a great experience it was! The jerk chicken nachos were fantastic, and I really enjoyed the Korean bbq wings. The service was excellent as well. We’re already planning when we should come back for dinner again!

Decided to go to Northbound last night and ordered the Herb roasted chicken, it came with Yukon gold potatoes and green beans. The whole meal was outstanding! It could not have been better in any fashion. My wife had a salad with chicken that she thoroughly enjoyed! What made the evening special was the great service we got from our server Jesse. She was so attentive especially knowing I am a diabetic. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for a great dining experience. Mark

Great food, everything made to perfection. Drinks and cocktails are amazing too. The crab dip was the best of the lot! So was the roast chicken. Great vibes, friendly service, and overall a great place.

We've been going to Northbound for years. We grew up in the area, but moved away, so any time we're visiting we have to stop in. The vibes are immaculate, and the service is top notch. On this most recent visit, I had the mac and cheese special. It was spicy, creamy, and crunchy. Perfect meal to warm up in cool weather.

get the gumbo, It's delicious and ask for some shrimp on it. The service is great as well as the food & ambience.You'll love this place too.

4 star food with 2 star service. I came here for lunch when visiting a business in the area. The host was on the phone with someone trying to make a reservation and I had to wait 4 or 5 minutes. Not a big deal except he didn't even acknowledge that I was there. All it would have taken was a quick finger held up to let me know I'd have to wait but I didn't get that, including when he walked into the dining area to check on a table, then came back to the stand. I was happy with the ambiance sitting outside. This would be a good place rain or shine since the patio is covered and has heaters, but again, the service wasn't great. The food came out very slowly, I was here for more than an hour to get a drink, some hummus, and some tacos, and the waitress took a long time between visits back to my table. The food was pretty good. I had the Negroni, the Hummus, and the Fish Tacos. Everything I had was a positive experience, but the tacos were frustrating to eat. They put the fried fish on top of a giant pile of tomatoes, cabbage, etc. which helped keep it crisp, it as a result, it was very difficult to eat, every other bite being just vegetables or pushing the fish out of the tortilla. Tasty though.

I've been here twice & both times I was traveling through town on my way to the city. I stopped here with my travel buddy. She ordered a' Vegetable Lo Mein' dish that we thought would be as described on the menu which was 'over Jasmine Rice with Vegetables.' Now, my travel buddy - i.e., my mom - is a hell of a cook. She can make anything & everything & everything is top notch! So when I go out with her I expect it to be top notch. Now I was really disappointed bc I wanted her to love the lunch & the experience; I wanted my Mom to enjoy our time out. And i wanted to enjoy it, too. Unfortunately, the food was terrible. The Lo Mein dish was 'soupy' - the Rice was overcooked, NO flavor - the whole dish was a disaster. We also ordered the Crab Dip as an app & the Pastrami Rueben as an entree. The Crab Dip wasn't bad, I would say that it was just 'okay.' You could see the oil just pooling on the top of it. The serving sizes were way off, too. This was suppose to be 'lunch,' not dinner - they were huge. Now. If we were typical people that had jobs that needed to be in & out for a 30 minute lunch then this is not how you should serve lunch. This is how you serve a 2 1/2 hour dinner or a three hour dinner. The pastrami sandwich was humongous. I could tell they spent a lot of time on the preparation of the meat & it was flavorful, but right when I looked at it, I thought to myself holy shit, now I have something for dinner! As for the service. The staff was really just okay. The host was a little disorganized, but he did know what he was doing & did give us a nice table outside, was pleasant & nice to us - which is all he needs to be - so 4 stars for him. I also watched him bus a couple tables which I thought was nice of him to do something that was out of the scope of his actual job, which is to just maintain the expeditious atmosphere of a lunch crowd. Btw - it took about 5 minutes to get seated in a restaurant that was 10% booked. The server was attentive & pleasant. She didn't do too much or tooo little - she did her job. One thing was she didn't offer us a bag for our 4 take-out containers, so I thought that was questionable. I give her 3 stars for service which means she only gets a 20% tip. We give 40% tips for anyone who does a good job. She did the bare minimum. Another small detail was there was no salt in the salt shaker. And the shaker itself was really dirty. These small details make a big difference when it comes to overall experience and quality of cleanliness and service. Think about going to places like Limeport Inn or Bolete. Or even James BBQ if you want BBQ. Northbound was dissapointing, to say the least & at $64 for two lunch dishes, one app & an ice tea - not worth it. Expect huge portion sizes, complacent staff, flavorless dishes but a descent atmosphere. We may give it another try but doubtful. My humblest regards Kyle David.

I really enjoyed the experience! All the workers were kind. We sat in the enclosed patio and it wasn't too cold even though outside was windy and rainy. I enjoyed looking out at the rainy train tracks. The food was also all tasty! Crab dip had a good crab flavor, not overly cream cheesy. The chicken was flavorful, asparagus cooked nicely and the gravy was like the very comforting type of gravy you used to have at grandmoms with the mashed potatoes. I'll definitely check it out again

I really enjoyed this hipster restaurant near the old railroad tracks. Note: It gets very busy Friday and Saturday nights, so reservations are recommended. We had to wait in the bar which is small. Our cocktails were excellent and after we were seated. The service was excellent and the food delicious. Plenty of parking and I like the vibe of the place.

Really enjoyed this experience. The spicy margarita which I failed to get a picture of but really set the tone for the afternoon. Enjoyed a burger and wings, frankly some of the better wings I've had. A cute little spot we just stumbled upon. Great day drinking, a first date spot or get out of jail with your spouse idea.

I have been wanting to try this place for years and recently decided that NYE would be a great day to try it since my boyfriend and I needed plans and the impression I got of the place was that it was supposed to be very 'hip', 'fun', and have good fare. The place was significantly smaller than I thought it would be. It was in an old train station and so there are many little rooms. I definitely recommend getting a reservation and all reservations are for 90 min increments. My boyfriend and I don't go to a ton of restaurants for dinner and this is definitely a type of place I would love to go to as it has a great cocktail list and more "elevated" American dishes. I wasn't sure what he was going to think but he absolutely loved it. He's not big into craft beers but did get one that he enjoyed. I got the Harvest moon cocktail which was equally pretty as it was delicious in a little coupe glass. We split the duck confit fries which were heavenly. The duck was super tender and I loved the gravy and added bacon. He went with the fried chicken sandwich and I got the salmon with asparagus risotto. I am still dreaming of the salmon. It had a perfect "crust" and was flavored deliciously. I could have done without smoked tomato chutney as it honestly just tasted like chili , and the flavors were a little abrasive next to the salmon and risotto. I definitely cannot wait to go back. There was ample parking too which was nice since it is in town. The bathroom could have been up-kept better as it wasn't the cleanest and out of tp. Our waitress was also very nice but seemed a little rushed. Maybe it was the holiday and it was busier than I could tell, we were seated alone in a room so that was also nice. Overall, a great spot and I'm excited to go back!

Northbound is not worth the hype. Their menu items are way overpriced and their service is not all that great. This was my second time there and I'm still wondering why I even tried again. I believe I only decided to come for their pizza and espresso martini, which was a joke. Their pizza is pizza but their espresso martini could be finished in two sips with a straw. Our waitress was nowhere to be found half the time. It was so bad, half of our party left and one person decided to stay back to wait for her to pay the bill. I understand if the place was busy, but it was not. I would have rather stayed homebound instead of coming to Northbound. The two stars are for the food being edible and getting a parking spot right out front.

Enjoy Northbound every time we go! Food is excellent, service is friendly and attentive! Different atmosphere being in an old train station but enjoyable! One downer is the music is always to loud!!

We came here with a group of friends after touring Asher's chocolate factory. We sat outside and it was really pretty with the white lights hanging up and the train tracks next to us. I didn't realize it wasn't a real train track, that it wasn't in use. But it still looked cool. They were out of the one drink I wanted- the milk punch drink, which was disappointing. I ordered some gin drink which was ok but nothing special. I ordered the burger smash which wasn't bad but a little greasy and the fries were kinda blah. My husband got the chicken and waffles and he kind of enjoyed it but some of it was a little dry. Overall it was a solid meal but I don't know if we would return cause we aren't really from the area.

Food was very tasty , I had steak with mashed and spinach , flavored nicely . Steak was cooked as I asked , med, nice pink center . Katie has baked chicken with asparagus, nice portion , cooked just right . We had a crab dip as an appetizer, nice crab flavor , was tasty . Service was good .seated in a covered tent , nice large heater above us , kept us toasty warm . All in all I would go back there thumbs up

My food was amazing. First time coming here since opening and I can't wait to come back. I feel like it's affordable for great quality. The bread pudding was to die for. 10/10 recommend that. Great service too, thanks guys!

This is practically a five star rating. I plan on coming back to try some other items. Solid drink menu: Great tasty food: This was our first time here and the quality of food and bar concoctions is great. It seems like I am touring restaurants in old train stations but that wasn't planned. The Manhattan was really delicious. And the sexy fries use a homemade hollendaise sauce which has a nice lemony flavor. Get them! The gumbo with shrimp was quite flavorful with a good spice. One of the better ones I have had in my time. My wife got the chicken sandwich and it looked like half a chicken on it. She loved it. They had a smash burger special which I got to go for my daughter and she devoured it. The slight vinegar zinfg in the sauce and roasted peppers were a match made in heaven. Definitely a great place with a cool atmosphere. They were a bit busy and our server wasn't around much, but that's how things roll these days. Many other staff members checked in on us Going back soon!

I went to Northbound fir a quick dinner prior to am event I had to attend in the area. Service was intermittent. I ordered the chili and the caesar salad with shrimp. The chili was really good but the portion was so small. It was served in a small cast iron, and it was half full. I don't even think it equated to a cup of soup. It felt like a rip off. The caesar salad was excellent. I loved the dressing and the salad was fresh as well as a really great portion.

Incredible food, and great environment, and really nice employees, the sexy fries are a must have, a good amount for a great price, one of the times I went the sexy fries where too salty, although that only happened once

Food was great, but waitress (MM) was awful. It wasn't busy and we kept having to get up and ask random employees for what we needed. We would tell her and she never even came back. Really disappointing. Can't say I recommend. For takeout yes.

Great spot - cheesesteak has a nice kick to it. Recommend the cheesesteak or gumbo. Fried chicken and pizza looked really good

Met my brother and uncle here for dinner on a Thursday. We arrived at 6:00 and since we had reservations,we were seated quickly. Our waiter informed us that he was new on the job. My uncle and I ordered the fish and chips they were ok , not great. My wife had the fettuccine And my brother opted for a cheese steak. Drinks were ok at best. Will I return.. maybe .

Food was great, service was very nice, and the location was super cool. Outdoor and indoor seating in the summer was awesome. I will be dining here again!

Service was quick, and pizza was very good and vwry filling. Also, the train station was fairly quite while we ate.

Cool vibe, really nice staff, and decent menu. The food is presented very well and comes out decently quick. The drinks are a little pricey. Overall, great portions, but the food left a little to be desired in terms of what I expected vs. the flavor it had. The nachos were very lackluster in flavor and the salad was great but drenched in dressing.

The short ribs are excellent, super tasty and set on their delicious mashed potatoes. Definitely try these if you like short ribs! New chef and the French onion is delicious and loaded with onions. Burgers are the best around, the fish selections are always fabulous. It's always tough to choose what to order when I visit this place!

Really nice fried chicken sandwich with lettuce and pickles! Cool ambience. We'll be back.

Very busy restaurant. Had dinner there last night. Fun atmosphere. Had the salmon, very good. Didn't care for the sauce served with it.

First time visit to this biz, we're in Souderton about once a week. Staff and service was top notch. Good ambience. Order pulled pork nachos. First time out chips were stale, sent it back. No problems, got another order. Much better. When we worked through the plate however the crema and such made a soup in the bottom of the dish, rendering all remaining chips like soggy corn flakes. The pork was delicious. Not the quality level we expect, we are unlikely to try it again. Its a shame, cool vibe, great staff, good location.

We've heard from a few people that around this area that this place was good. Since we happened to be in the small town of Souderton we decided to stop in for lunch. We made a reservation (through Resy), since I hate waiting. Surprisingly the spots filled pretty quickly, from when my wife checked them to a half an hour later they were nearly booked a few hours out. That's good for them! I was surprised to see a smoker in the back of the restaurant with someone putting full racks of ribs on it. It's definitely a legit smoker, they have the wood stacked nearby and the ribs from where I was standing looked to be St. Louis style ribs. The restaurant is nice inside. It's clean, well laid out and has a good atmosphere. We got a table on the patio which is fully enclosed and heated. Due to covid, there were a lot of tables they weren't able to use, so we couldn't grab a seat by the bar (which I prefer). The staff were all very friendly and did a great job. They definitely work as a team which makes our experience better. I grabbed a Yards in a can, but they do have a pretty impressive drink list. This location is part of Boardroom Spirits so all of the alcohol was from BR. We came for the pizza, but their menu was more than just that. I'm not quite sure how to categorize it...it's not a pizza place, it's not a bbq place, it's not a burger place or a salad place; but they offer all of that. We ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos and the Detroit Style Pepperoni pizza. The nachos were okay, they honestly would've been better without the pork. The pork wasn't bad, it just didn't have flavor. If something is called "smoked", I want to taste smoke and with their offset smoker setup they can definitely bring some flavor. The cheese on the nachos was good as was the seasoning they put on their chips. The toppings aside from the pork were good too. I probably wouldn't order again if I returned. The pizza came out and looked great. I have high expectations for what people call Detroit style...I'm from Detroit and have been eating this stuff before the "foodie" community was even born. It looked good upon arrival, the cheese was crusted around the edge, the pepperoni had crisped up, the sauce was on top and there was grated parmesan (although more than I would usually expect. And finally, there was a chiffonade of basil...something I wasn't excited about as I find it can be pretty over powering and if bruised during prep it's way too over powering. Took a bite and I was intrigued, the dough was crips along the outside but pillowy soft in the crumb. The sauce was perfect, a little sweet but not much and it was room temp, not cold, not hot...perfect! But then the basil, it was delicate, not over powering as I expected and the flavor of it is exactly what a pizza like this needs to cut through the richness of it. The pizza is small, only four pieces so if you're hungry or feeding a group get a few. It's $14 which when you think about it, if you split it, you spent $7 on a very good lunch. Plus the smaller size means there's less to take home. Overall I would definitely return to Northbound. I want to try some of their cocktails, I want to try some of the other pizzas and some of their ribs. I'm hoping the nachos were a one off. But even if everything else on the menu was as underwhelming as the nachos...the pizza makes it worth the visit.

Had a reservation set at 6 and we got there 5 minute early. Got all checked in and waited. we were a party of three but they assumed that it was a party of two. when called to go sit they realized it was a party of three, the held us back for a party of two which they sat. As time passed, we were also being passed. New party's showed up and those parties sat. we continued to wait till 6:30 when we decided to get up and leave. when leaving we noticed the host with pink laughing at us. would recommend if you like waiting, wouldn't recommend for a birthday dinner that got ruined.

I can't believe we're lucky enough to have such an amazing restaurant within walking distance from our house. The crab dip is amazing!! Fantastic selection of beers and cocktails. Friendly atmosphere, great service and cooks. I really have nothing negative to say. Please try it, you won't be sorry.

Great food, great service, cool space - will be back!! Went for brunch and two of us got breakfast items and the other two lunch, all were so good. Cheesesteak (not pictured) was delicious

The The food was sooo good staff so kind friendly the place is Beautiful felt like old train station. Cant wait to go back

This is definitely in our top 3 restaurants in this area. Everything I've had there has been amazing. They make Detroit Pizzas that I can't stop eating. Top quality dishes and you can always find something reasonably priced on the menu.

Hands down a great place to have some great apps and drinks! Don't forget to try their sexy fries!! Delish!!

New front of house staff member, young man, greeted us warmly and was really helpful in ensuring we were seated promptly but also close to overhead heaters on patio for these old bodies! Food is always consistent and excellent. Great value for money. Prompt and efficient service. Love Northbound!

So the cyber cocktails where awesome, all the food and appetizers had a good taste and being from local farmers makes everything just a little bit better. Do come here it is worth the drive!

My wife and I ate hear on Labor Day Sunday 09.06.20 for an evening reservation outside. We are repeat customers because it is always an enjoyable experience. The sexy fries are extremely delicious and filling. This signature item is the reason you need to come here. The burrata salad and the beat salad were really tasty. Their craft cocktails are inspired and delicious.

The food here is amazing, ask for anything that comes out of the smoker, you will not be disappointed! Great ambience in an old trainstation with ample parking. Service is attentive and they kept my water filled throughout the night.

Slow service. Not impressed this trip. We have gone there so many times and loved it. Even brought family with us. This time around the food were so so and the service was slow. I had to ask a random person working to get a refill since our waitress was too busy with large tables.

Finally caught the brunch menu with friends. I had the chipped beef and it was pretty tasty. I wasn't a fan of that hash brown potato thingy though. All the frans enjoyed their dishes too!

Service and food were excellent. Wine options could be broader but overall it was an excellent dining experience.

What a great way to ruin a special evening. Happy Birthday to my wife who would choose a different restaurant if we could redo this evening again. And I 100% agree with her. This evening felt like a Seinfeld episode because they do not quite understand what a reservation means. The special request comment section is useless as they do not read it or honor little requests like avoiding seating us in a high-traffic area. The biggest problem is the service. The service is so horrible that it reminded us why we have not been to Northbound in months as this is not the first time they messed up a special occasion with piss poor service. We were seated and saw what was to be our waitress walk by us at least 5 times to other tables, not even stopping by to say she will be with us shortly. About 30 minutes after our reserved time they finally brought us water and took our order. While the kitchen appears to be on point and food was served in a reasonable amount of time, our waitress was pretty much nowhere to be found. After appetizers our cups were empty and throughout the night they never were to be full again. Someone from the kitchen served us our appetizers and then our entrees but just dropped off the food. We waited for the waitress to stop by as we needed more napkins, additional silverware, and hot sauce. We waited, and waited and waited but you can only wait so long before you just give up. Our waitress stopped by well after we had finished our meal but at this point, we just wanted the check. We saw our waitress for the 3rd and final time that evening when she gave us the bill. It is so sad that Northbound cannot get their act together as we are silently rooting for them to do a good job. The food is good but we are so turned off by the bad service time and time again that it literally prevents us from even considering them as an option. After a few months, we figure let's give them a second or third chance and again, and again they blow it. I am not even sure if we will give them another chance. There is only so much disappointment we can take.

Celebrated a family birthday dinner and it was fantastic from start to finish. Wonderful cocktail menu with a range of drinks for everyone. Dinner was a range of salads, burgers, and grilled or fried chicken for our family! This was after the pulled pork nachos!!! Yum! Alyssa was a great server and Aiden made some perfect drinks!

Yummy spot with good drinks, good food, and good service! To start I had the tuna tartare and sexy fries. The tuna was super fresh and served with avocado, it was a great bite! The sexy fries are a bit of a let down, they're not bad but I'd skip them. The hollandaise ends up melting into a slimy coating on your fries, it'd likely be better served as a dip. For my meal I had the salmon which is served with a creamy risotto and sweet tomato sauce. Overall delicious though the tomato sauce is a bit on the sweet side. The drinks here are STRONG but in the best way! I enjoyed all of my drinks, the punch was yummy as was the pick your poison and their take on an espresso martini. Our server was awesome. Super nice and attentive. Would come back.

Amazing food and cocktails. Such a great atmosphere. Beautiful bar area and the service was amazing. Definitely will come back.

Some of the best food and drinks in the area, and staff are always super friendly. Sexy fries are where it's at but everything I've ever eaten here is delicious

Northbound is a local favorite for gathering with friends. The food is great and you can't go wrong with the outdoor seating. Inside can get really loud, especially by the bar. Their bread pudding is amazing. I wish it was a standard menu item.

We had a perfect experience from start to finish! Brought my friend here for her birthday dinner last night (Tuesday) and everything was wonderful. The location and ambiance are great. Our server was friendly, attentive, and helpful! We got the old fashioned and cranberry mule - both were perfect! We shared the smoked salmon bruschetta appetizer and it was good. I wasn't sure what to expect with it, but it was tasty. She got the short rib grilled cheese and said it was perfect for what she was looking for. I got the po' boy and enjoyed every bite! Everything was fresh and flavorful. We shared the peanut butter mousse dessert and it was creamy and decadent. Soooo good! I will definitely return!

Loooove northbound. Cant get past the fried chicken sandwich. Those pickles on it are next level awesome!!!

I love this place for a great cocktail and reliably good upscale bar food. Outdoor seating is nice but also love to sit at the bar if I'm able to get a seat. Bartenders are lovely to chat with.

I didn't get to eat here. I got a few mixed drinks. I got lucky and someone left and I got a seat. It was pretty packed...even outside.

Getting a little worried...I used to love coming here for a long time. The atmosphere was relaxing at the bar, the menu was consistently reinvented and fresh, the cocktails were creative, and I was always happy when I left. Now, even though the bartender is working like a mad woman and is lovely, the food quality & vibe is off. The portions are different for the cost, the food is just ok ish and warm ish, it is hard to catch someone's eye for assistance, and the pace is off. I'm going to keep hanging in there but please consider more staff or fewer tables if at all possible. I believe in you guys! P.S. Miss Gus
