Northern Soul

Great spot, family friendly, some surprisingly good dishes. I'm a fan of the cauliflower with buffalo sauce - it's probably much less healthy than I think it is, but I'll suppress that thought starting.. NOW. They also have a steak katsu sandwich - very surprised. Wife got it and only let me have a few bites haha. Its basically a very tender steak that's been breaded and put between bread slices with a tangy sauce. Impressed. Got a quesadilla last visit - was good but felt over priced? Not sure why all the sudden I'm price sensitive on this dish - but I am. Drinks are fine, staff is super nice, and the vibes are great. I should really come more often.

Ive visited this spot a couple times and it’s never disappointing. The staff is always super friendly and attentive, the drinks are always perfectly made, and most of their menu is gluten free and vegan. It’s a lowkey, chill kind of vibe with dim lighting and music. The cauliflower bites and potato poutine made vegan are my go-to choices. Never leave here without an espresso martini!

One of my favorite restaurant/bars in the whole tri-state. Incredible service, great vibes & top notch food. HOLY vegan options! Hanger steak was gone before I could even take a photo. A must try if you’re in the area. Clearly a spot the locals frequent.

A group of girlfriends and I decided to try this spot out and I was looking forward to it. When I arrived I had to circle the area a bit and finally found a parking spot. The place was cute and they had indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors and it was a closed in area with heaters and filters in each of them and it was a cool idea. Pedro was our waiter and he was good and had a good memory. I ordered the vegan Bodega sandwich which had Just eggs, beyond sausage and violife cheese on a roll and it was pretty good. The girls had different items all around and they liked their meals. For a drink I ordered the vodka tonic which the bartender messed up by putting in seltzer instead. Pedro fixed it himself and it came out good. The bill was reasonable and gratuity was included of 20%. I definitely will be back to try more vegan option meals.

Good customer service. I sat in the booth outside, which was a new try. I was in search of something different that I never had before. Vibes are chill, good food & drinks nice atmosphere. Inside and outside sitting areas. Food was fresh and tasty bathrooms where nice and clean

Awesome Tuesday night trivia! Tons of beer selection including NA beers. Wings were fantastic !

Cool neighborhood bar with great cocktails 🍸 and bunch of locals. The bar food is not so great, at least the portions of the food should be better. They've got pool table and other fun games inside with Sports in the TV. Go there if you want avoid crowd and play billiards 🎱

I enjoyed the bar and watching football game there!! Staff were nice and beer selection was good! The food was just good but very average! With a bit better food, this place can be next level!

Still a decent neighborhood bar. I will say that the food quality has gone up since they first opened and the drinks are definitely notable. Especially the espresso martini. My disappointment lies in the staff. Servers are annoyed to be there and pass on their unhappiness to the customers. That goes for folks serving tables, bartenders, support staff, and even management. Happy to spend my money at an establishment that appreciates my patronage and has a little bit less quality when it comes to drinks and food feel appreciated. Dare I say it, but after two nights in a row of feeling like I was a burden to the staff, and sharing that with Management , who listened to my comments and gave me the nod of I hear you, and it's going at one ear, I don't know if I'll come back. We will see.

Came with a party of four on a Saturday and the place was empty when we arrived. The service was good and the place filled by the time we left (around 2PM). Loved their passion fruit margarita and the egg plate was solid. I do wish the cut of ham I had chosen were a bit thicker, they felt more like deli meat slices, but a safe choice for a meal overall!

Went here with some friends a few weeks ago. Had some delicious drinks, including a cranberrita. My friends and I all ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. It was okay. The bun was something I could buy at a grocery store. The chicken was good. The French fries were the best part. I would go back for the drinks, but I would definitely order a different meal.

I've wanted to try Northern Soul for a very long time and now want to officially make it a go-to spot. The food was absolutely incredible every time I've been and I am just really digging the vibes. It is tucked away in the back of Hoboken and I kind of love how out of the way it is. All the good things: -Plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor -A pool table -High tops and tables for any vibe you're looking for I've been twice and have yet to try their cocktails so the 5 starts is all for the incredible food. I've had the kale caesar with chicken and while that is nothing crazy it was fresh and flavorful and hit the spot on a night where I was not very hungry. BUT the salmon BLT? Holy crap was that amazing. Seriously, get the salmon BLT. It was so incredibly tasty, perfectly cooked salmon, just all around the best sandwich. You get a side with it and I went for the edamame. I feel like you think I am being dramatic when I say these were also just insanely delicious. Couldn't leave any leftovers and had to take a handful of edamame home along with the rest of my sandwich, good. Anyway, you get it. I love this pace. Can't wait to come back for more food and to finally try the drinks.

I wanted this place to be so much better, but it's not. I spent $50 on lunch, with tip, and had to season my own sandwich with salt and pepper. Hear me out - the steak was cooked to perfection and tender as could be! But had absolutely no flavor or seasoning. I like goat cheese but it was so overpowering with the sourness of it, and no seasoning from the steak. They need to add something sweet or salty to the sandwich to balance the flavors. Even something as simple as pickled onions. The buffalo cauliflower was ok too, but I barely ate half of it. I wouldn't write off returning but would order something else and hope it has more flavor and seasoning to it.

I don't go to Northern Soul often since it's very out of the way for me to get to, but I usually have a good time with friends when I do. I like that Northern Soul is pretty big and usually not too crowded making it easier to get a table for a group. Their food is also solid. We visited this past weekend Saturday afternoon to catch the 4:30 pm football game. When we arrived around 3 pm, there was a birthday party taking place by the pool table and a few of the high tops were taken, so they sat us at the longer table in the center. We were a party of 5. The service was horrible the first 2 hours we were there. Our waitress did not pay attention to us and was not friendly. We went to the bar a couple times to order drinks since she was no where to be found, only for the bartender to try to turn us away. You think when you are spending hundreds of dollars you'd be able to get some service, especially when the place isn't slammed. As it got later into the evening, I think the shifts changed over and the 'A team' servers showed up to replace the B squad. Once that happened, we actually had an attentive server. NoSo has an awesome espresso martini. Their burgers and wings are also pretty good (only 6 wings per order but big/juicy). The other complaint I had about the evening was the TV situation. You really can only see the TVs if you are seated facing the direction of the bar. They have one TV mounted on the wall facing outside that was not on - not sure if its broken. At 4:30 pm, we asked the bar staff if they could switch the NFL game onto to the one large center TV. They said no since someone was watching a college basketball game. Are you serious? One young girl in her 20s who I doubt even cares about the game that much needed to have a meaningless college basketball game on while there is a big NFL football game on? Finally once the game ended, they switched the game onto the big TV. The girl who was sitting at the bar and could've easily watched the last 15 minutes of the meaningless game on the smaller TV.

I remember Northern Soul when it was still on first between Monroe and Jackson. Now that it's in the lower level of Sky Club it seems a bit like a hermit crab that got into a random shell (the space was previously a French gourmet restaurant that tanked) but the service and quality of food are awesome. I love the caesar salad there and literally any bar food. They also have gf pizza that is great. Last time we went, we sat at the bar to watch the Super Bowl and it was a great time. Go here if you want to grab a quick beer and watch a game, play pool or just get a bite to eat when you're feeling lazy.

Wasn't a fan , not sure why there's hype Potato leek soup was bland Steak sandwich had potential, but had too much breading It was 50 degrees outside and they doors/windows wide open . It was cold and everyone surrounding us agreed Cute bathroom doors -5 stars Bartender was nice

5 stars for the Soul Shacks and 3 stars for the eats made for a solid 4 star experience. I've been to Northern Soul plenty of times over the years and it's always a reliable spot to grab a beer while listening to some great music. Sometimes (pre-covid) they even have live music which is always a treat. In Covid times they have adapted wonderfully by opening up Soul Shacks -- temperature controlled greenhouses that kept us warm and comfortable during a blustery winter day. Many restaurants offer outdoor heat lamps, igloos and the like, but the soul shacks are the best outdoor dining option that I've seen. I was nervous about being cold and the shacks were perfectly warm and cozy. They are also adorable -- see through greenhouses with lots of hanging greenery draped around the tops and sides. It was nice to look out at the other brunch goers and the streets of Hoboken. My friends and I agreed that this style of dining is something we'd love in the future, even in a world without Covid. Hopefully Northern Soul can keep it up and more restaurants can try this out as well. A few more logistics about the Shacks: -Some shacks fit up to 4 while others fit up to 6. It's $100 to reserve for 4 and $200 to reserve for 6, but this is applied to your food and drink. So it's a very easy spend to hit, especially for 4 and if people in your group are drinking -Brunch is served until 4 PM -You have an hour and a half in the shack -Reservations can only be made online via Resy -Definitely make a reservation in advance, as these seem to fill up fast -Service is great. Though we were outside our server didn't miss a beat and continuously checked in on us! Otherwise, the food was just okay. Nothing to write home about, but definitely got the job done. We shared an order of poutine that was pretty small and lackluster. I ordered a chicken caesar salad that didn't really feel restaurant quality -- the kale felt more like a bag of spinach, the chicken was a little rubbery and the croutons a bit stale. Either way, it was still tasty and the real highlight of the experience was the soul shack. For outdoor winter dining during Covid this is as good as it gets.

Service was lackluster! We chose to sit inside since they had no availability outside due to spots being reserved. The staff practically forgot about us because they didn't come to our table after seating us for close to 30 minutes. It took a while for our food to come out too. As for the food, the vegan pizza could have been way better. The vegan cheese was sliding off the pizza and the pizza lacked flavor. The only good part of my meal were the jackfruit crab cake sliders (must try!).

This is a great spot to check out in Hoboken. The service is kind and thoughtful. The interior is fun and you can buy the artwork off the walls. The menu is very vegan and gluten-free friendly. 100% recommend.

A group of girlfriends and I decided to try this spot out and I was looking forward to it. When I arrived I had to circle the area a bit and finally found a parking spot. The place was cute and they had indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors and it was a closed in area with heaters and filters in each of them and it was a cool idea. Pedro was our waiter and he was good and had a good memory. I ordered the vegan Bodega sandwich which had Just eggs, beyond sausage and violife cheese on a roll and it was pretty good. The girls had different items all around and they liked their meals. For a drink I ordered the vodka tonic which the bartender messed up by putting in seltzer instead. Pedro fixed it himself and it came out good. The bill was reasonable and gratuity was included of 20%. I definitely will be back to try more vegan option meals.

I really enjoyed their vegan buttermilk chicken sandwich. Sometimes vegan chicken can be too thick and easily overwhelm a sandwich. The texture of this one was chewy, but enjoyable. I added jalapenos to my sandwich and they provided some nice texture though they were not very spicy. I would've liked just a little more sauce. Their sweet potato fries were also really good and the portion size was generous as an accompaniment to the sandwich. I would order from them again.

I had no idea Northern Soul had taken over a new spot! It has a great laidback vibe. Our group of 7 got to hang out in what looked like a giant hollowed out barrel. seating was four two-seat couches around a low table. Big lunge vibes. We shared a few plates, most notably the pizza. I was expecting something akin to a bar pie but we got served a substantially sized pizza with a firm crust. Cheese and sauce mix are not the best in town (there is so much pizza in Hoboken!) but it got the job done. Buffalo cauliflower bites were neat and lacked a crunchy breading coat. That may be a positive or negative depending on your preference. Fried calamari was quite alright with a tasty dipping sauce. My one drink was an espresso martini. It was a mix of an espresso (not always an ingredient!), Vanilla vodka, and I think Kahlua. It was pretty good. Not the best I have had but I enjoyed it. Service was great. Our waiter popped in regularly but never was a bother. I would easily recommend Northern Soul to anyone living in town. If you have to drive in, they validate parking!

This spot doesn't look like it's in Hoboken, but that is part of its charm. The vibe was that of a small town pub which I loved. The poutine wasn't quite what I expected, but the food all around was solid. Nice spot for a drink and socialization.

Sunday brunch was great! Service was a little slow to start but we weren't in a rush. We had 11am reservations. They open at 11. Drinks were great. Food was tasty. Fun and laid back, a mix of families with small children or a group of friends everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Our heated enclosed igloo was just what we wanted during covid - outdoor dining with heat! We ordered around of Christmas drinks to start. I'm not a beet fan,but I ordered the beet salad with grilled chicken because I love baby arugula, spiced almonds (I think they were just lightly toasted, though), cashews, and goat cheese. The dressing was called orange honey and it was a truly delicious salad. The chicken was amazing, too. I would have preferred raw shaved beet instead of the roasted beets. The waiter was surprised by my little pile of uneaten beets, but the salad was a great choice despite the beets LOL? So check out their drink menu for some drinks with definitely cool names (like Shut Up Mariah Carey). I ordered the Christmas cookie. It was made with bourbon, hazelnut liquor, cinnamon, maple, and nutmeg. I found it a bit strong and would have preferred something sweeter and more cookie-ish. However, the Northern Soul was nice, cozy, warm, and delicious. A definite WIN.

Northern Soul is an awesome place for everyone, despite dietary restrictions. There are vegan and vegetarian options, options for meat lovers, and everyone in-between. From tofu sandwiches, to turkey burgers. From Kale Caesar Salads, to filet mignon. Brunch is the best!!!! Fire dishes! Vegan sausage egg and cheese is probably the best vegan breakfast sandwhich you will come across in Hoboken. There is even a "build your own omelet" option. The evening vibe is fun and welcoming. There are darts and a pool table. All customers and staff are incredibly friendly and aeveryone is always having a great conversation. DON'T SKIP OUT ON DESSERT !!

The weather was too nice yesterday to not have a drink outside somewhere, so my husband and I were able to snag seats on Northern Soul's decently sized outdoor patio. Although we were just having drinks, the servers were incredibly attentive to us, and brought our drinks quickly along with water! Love the vibe of this place.

Omg I cannot say enough good things. I just recently was diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity and therefore had to go completely gluten free. This place has the absolute BEST gluten free menu items- so far, my favorites are the plain pizza, Buffalo wings & sweet chili cauliflower bites. I swear, I had to ask the waiter multiple times to in fact these really were all gluten free because they tasted just like the real things! They even have multiple GF beer options! 10/10 recommend.

I find this place very interesting, some of the people who work there are simply amazing and the food is really good , however I find that your experience depends on people's mood . A few months ago I had a bad experience and I write a review about it , a few days later I went in for lunch and the manager gave me an attitude that I should have addressed the issue with him instead of posting a review . In my opinion reviews are important . Anyways after a short discussion I decided to take down my last review once I do visit the place very often . Than last night we were there after work for a few LAUGHS and some Halloween fun , than this guy who I think is the manager told us we needed to tone it down because people were trying to enjoy their drink . SERIOUSLY?? This place has the loudest music in earth , if you want to hear people you have to technically SHOUT.. and he's complaining about us having fun ?! Ridiculous , specially when we are regulars and we're only there for about 2-3 hours .. The problem is not the place as they have good food and it's a nice atmosphere for the most part . , the problem is the manager and his attitude .

Came here for brunch for a friends birthday and it was amazing! We sat in there "barrel" which is basically just a private room for about 10 people with couches and a huge table in the middle, felt very comfortable, like we were in someone's living room. The food itself was also amazing, they had so many vegan options, I decided to try a few. Tried the tofu mignon sandwich- texture was great, very crunchy. The seitan fried chicken sandwich it was a little too chewy for my taste but still pretty good, others liked it. Drinks were very creative and pretty strong, between the 8 of us, we tried almost each one.

Ordered delivery from northern soul last night. I ordered the NoSo Burger (added an extra patty and bacon with cheddar cheese) with house cut fries, Brussels sprouts, and scotch eggs. Love that they have their own brand stickers. Cute. When our food arrived, it was early and I thought that was great! However, everything was wet and soggy. Like it sat. For a while. :( Anyway, the burger was AMAZING. We loved the flavor of the meat, the bacon and cheddar. Good amount of everything and great size! It was $16.95 cause of my additions of bacon and extra patty. It was worth it. The fries? No. If they were cooked as I requested then yes! They were soggy. We were able to put them in the broiler which helped but they aren't the same, you know? They were okay. The Brussels had good flavor and tasted fresh, but also very wet and soggy. Good portion for $6.95. I'd order them again AT the restaurant but not for delivery. The scotch eggs were my real disappointment. NEVER again. I ordered two eggs and it was $15. What arrived was one egg and it was small. Luckily I received a refund for my missing egg and disappointment lol. Thank you Grub Hub for helping. I would never order these again. WAY overpriced and unsatisfactory. Do not get!! You will be disappointed. So overall, we would go to the restaurant to order a double patty cheddar bacon NoSo burger with house cut fries hot and crispy! And Brussels sprouts hot and crispy. But no delivery and definitely no scotch eggs. :)

Planned a last minute brunch with some cousins and was pleasantly surprised when they had availability for a group of 8. We chose to sit outside in the "Soul Shacks". Note you do have to meet the $200 minimum of food/drink for the party size. We ordered the cauliflower bites, impossible burger slides and the poutine to share. The Buffalo cauliflower was great but the sliders really stole the show. Poutine fell a little flat. The bodega egg sandwich I got was delish (but the NYer inside me was screaming at paying $14 for a $5 sandwich). Good service, a decent beer selection and cocktails were really good - definitely worth a try if you haven't been here!

My girlfriends and I were excited to visit Northern Soul as we loved the idea of their heated Soul Shacks! I want to highlight the reservation process: I made the reservation on the Resy app for their Soul Shack in which on the weekends (since it's their busiest), you have to pay for a deposit. The deposit for 4 people was $100 which is applied to the bill. I had to change the date of the reservation because of snow so through the Resy app, I clicked "change reservation," switched the dates and was charged $100 again ($106.63 plus tax). I thought that was annoying especially since I already paid $106 for the first reservation. I think the Resy app should definitely update that. A couple days later I was refunded $106 from the first reservation. What I also noticed was that $100 was applied to the bill but what about the remaining $6.63? Is that just tax from the Resy app? If so, that is an inconvenience. An extra $6.63 going towards what? When arriving, I was able to find street parking and did not have to pay since it was Sunday. They do have a parking garage somewhere (I couldn't find it) where they validate the parking if you're visiting the restaurant. Hoboken parking is already hard to find so the fact that they have a parking lot with free validated parking is a plus! Myself as well as 4 other people were confused as we were looking for the front door. A guy next to us found a back door and came out to open the front door for us so here is a tip: The doors are the big wooden type doors in front of the Soul Shacks LOL! When we arrived, we were immediately seated in our Soul Shack. Now...these Soul Shacks are teeny tiny for a group of 4 people. I saw other shacks with 4 people in it that had way more space; around 8 seats in them. For 4 people, you cannot fit all your food on the table inside. The Soul Shack is good for a group of 2 or if you have 4 you just do drinks but food? You'll be holding things on your lap. I suggest requesting a bigger shack if they have them available. The shack was cute though, they had a heater where you can change the temperature and it's decorated with lights and greenery. It also has a door so you can close it or leave it open. Another reason why we were excited for this visit was because of their vegan options! For food, we started off with the Cauliflower Bites ($10) which were crispy and delicious. It was paired with a ranch type sauce that brought the bites THERE! For the main entree, I ordered the Vegan Crispy Buttermilk Chicken sandwich ($16) with french fries. I was sadly disappointed. I wish the fries were crispier as well as the sandwich. The sandwich was sorta bland and the "chicken" didn't taste like anything. I think if it was battered with some sort of sauce it would've been better. For dessert, we opted for the tres leches ($7). It was decent, I wish the cake had more of the milk that that the cake was surrounded with on the dish. It was a bit dry but not horrible. My sister enjoy the Spicy Santa cocktail ($13) as well as the jackfruit crab cake sliders ($12). She stated the sliders had too much old bay and mayo but she did enjoy the seafood-like flavor. My friends ordered the tofu power bowl which she subbed tofu for chicken ($14) and the nutella french toast ($12). Although the reservation and the food was disappointing, I may come back to sit inside as the inside looks cozy. Also, another thing I wanted to point out was you need to spend $100 as that was charged through the Resy app for the reservation. One of my friends barely spent $25 so I think to spend $100 was a bit too much pressure. Our total bill came out to $142.39 and we only had to pay $42.39 at the restaurant. 18% gratuity was added for $23.60 so keep that in mind as well. Shout out to our waiter Seamus; he was great!!

Have eaten at Northern Soul twice in the last 18 months, once inside and once out, and we will return but only if we can use our ears to hear our friends - likely outdoors. Food quality is really good; salmon, steak tenderloin, pizza all cooked well, full of flavor and prepared nicely. Menu includes many vegan options for those interested. We're not vegan and honestly can't pass judgement on the options. Draft beer selection is a little weak if you're looking for a dark beer and the cans and bottles don't really supplement that. Music; decent mix of 90s hip hop/rap. Volume is way too loud unless you're there to simply listen to music. Trying to converse with people sitting in the next chair was a challenge. We've seen hundreds of shows, between the four of us that ate together at Northern Soul yesterday, and all of us have ringing ears today. To create an atmosphere you need customers. If you play music so loudly it artificially destroys the atmosphere that's probably counter productive. Oh and it was still daylight outside, so not exactly a late night music scene. Northern Soul, that I believe the bar was named after given its motif and images of British musical artists influenced by the 60s musical movement, Is only represented by the motif and some musical choices. A lot of Northern England, where the northern soul movement started, likes its beer dark. Service was exceptional on both occasions; accommodating, helpful and considerate. Last night the waiter even petitioned to have the music lowered a little, successfully. While the food is good the following incident summed it up: wife asked the manager if we could lower the volume and was told "it's a bar." It was a fairly empty bar/restaurant in the early evening. If the music is so loud glasses vibrate on tables perhaps it's a little too loud. If patrons have ringing ears the following day, perhaps the music is too loud. Still I'm sure the place was busy and a real music scene evolved. If it was just consistently busy and comparable with all other bars/restaurants in the area - what's the point of making it so loud? Shout to David, one of the loveliest and most genuine people in Hoboken. If you've not witnessed David go out of his way to help the elderly or offer to pickup groceries, he's worth your patronage alone. The obnoxious volume of music can help you determine if you stay for more than a drink.

IMPECCABLE. Best cocktails and vegan/ gluten free food ever. Played pool and did the Photo Booth! Absolutely thrived here. 11/10

I ordered Northern Soul's buttermilk chicken sandwich which cost $16 (via Seamless). Pros: Crispy. Tasty bun. Nicely portioned. Cons: Thicc chicken breast. To thicc. Can you be too thicc - yes. Should I stop saying thicc - also yes. Look it's very good. But the thickness of the breast put me off. I like a thinner crispier and yet juicy chicken breast that they have at other restaurants. The lettuce was just average iceberg. The tomato - Meh. The sauce tasted like 1000 Island vs a homemade sauce. Score: I give it a 8.1 out if 10. I would order it again and likely often if I lived by NoSo.

I stopped by Northern Soul on a Sunday afternoon with some girlfriends for Brunch. We were sat inside of one of their shacks, that we reserved beforehand, and used a QR code for the menu. The staff were all wearing masks and our waiter was very chill from the start. I was slightly disappointed with the size of shack because I felt like it was more ideal for a party of 2. The table was slightly too small for four people to fit all of our food and drinks. There was a heater inside the shack, which kept our legs and feet super warm, so we tried to make the best of it! To start off my Brunch, I went with ordering the Spicy Santa cocktail (Jalapeño-infused Tequila, Fresh Lime Juice, Agave, Cranberry Juice) to pair with an order of Cauliflower Bites (Rice Flour Tempura Cauliflower w/ choice of sauce) coated with Sweet Chili Sauce. The Spicy Santa cocktail was delicious and the perfect combination between spicy, sour and sweet. You could taste the liquor, but it was not too strong. It definitely had heat to it, but it was very nice and not too spicy. I would highly recommend this drink! The Cauliflower Bites were also good and perfectly crispy. The sweet chili sauce was decent but was not as strong as I would have expected. The ranch that the appetizer comes with did enhance the dish, making it one of my favorite plates of the day. Although it's listed as a Starter, I ordered the Jackfruit Crab Cake Sliders (Jackfruit Patty, Old Bay Mayo, Pickled Red Onion, Microgreens) as my main meal with a side order of House Cut French Fries. The dish came with three sliders and was the perfect amount of food with the addition of the French fries. Overall, I enjoyed the sliders and found them to be flavorful. I have not eaten crab cakes in a while, but I could definitely taste a seafood-like flavor with the sliders. The patty looked great and the bread was nice & soft. I did think there was slightly too much Old Bay mayo, but they're definitely worth a try! The fries were also noticeably handmade, crispy and seasoned well. I was full after my meal, but decided to go for the Tres Leches. The plating was pretty and the flavor was decent, but it was a pretty standard Tres Leches. I would recommend trying another dessert option, but it wasn't bad! All in all, I would rate my experience at Northern Soul a 3.5. They do have a friendly staff, heated shacks, great drinks and a variety of vegetarian/vegan options. If you're looking for a solid place for Brunch, I would say it's worth giving a try!

I read a Yelp review prior to my visit here and it called Northern Soul a hidden gem... I can't put into words a better description. First - the COVID protocols are followed To the highest standard. Masks, QR code menus, social distancing, you name it. They even have "Soul Shacks" you can reserve to have a little greenhouse all to yourself. Second - back to the "Soul Shacks." We reserved one through Resy. You will be required to make a deposit with the reservation. It's then applied toward you bill. Each Shack has a minimum, but with a drink and dinner it's totally reasonable to meet. We got four comfortably in our greenhouse. Each house has its own heater for your comfort and the ability to open the windows if you're feeling too warm. I am always cold and I can promise you, it's very comfortable. Finally - the food. The menu has a solid variety. Anything from salmon to curry dishes to tacos. Both food and drinks are very reasonably priced. I started with the Blackberry Smash. I'm not kidding when I say this is my favorite drink in Hoboken. Fresh berries and mezcal... incredible. For dinner our table ordered the turkey burger, salmon BLT, salmon entree and fried chicken sandwich. We were pleased with everything we ordered. I personally, would have the turkey burger over and over again. We ended the night with espresso martinis, and my must have, a cup of tea. I can't end this review without highlighting the service. From the minute we arrived until our last drink, they really took care of us. I always love when the staff come with recommendation in hand and can basically anticipate our next move. Needless to say, we'll be back often.

Great bar - terrible date night Went here on a Friday night with my girlfriend for a date night, which I immediately realized was a mistake, as there was loud rap music playing that was very hard to talk over, among other things not conducive to a romantic evening. I acknowledge this is 100% my fault. And I'm writing this review so any couples looking for a romantic night out don't make the same mistake I did. Let me be clear - this could be a fun bar to visit with friends, and reminded me of some of my favorite college bars. Very high energy, very loud music, for sure targeted at a younger crowd. The food and drinks were exceptionally good. I'm gluten free, and actually had the best GF bun of my life with my chicken sandwich. Lots of vegan options too. Even though it was not what I was looking for, to be fair to the restaurant, I'll give it 4 stars

Visited some friends in JC and they recommend we come here. Boy am I glad they did! I ordered the BLT and it seriously was the BEST BLT I ever had in my life!!!!! The bread was so crispy and the garlic aioli spread was out of this world! Ordered mimosas and they were made perfectly! Lots of vegan and gluten-free options which is a major plus and what make this place even better is that it's dog friendly. If you're in the area and look for yummy food and delicious drinks, definitely stop on in!!

It was of the only choices within shouting distance of our stay so we tried it out the first night. Very casual seating outside on a busy Saturday night with a private event inside. Sticky tables, okay burgers, good fries and a decent old fashioned to start our vacation.

Menu: bring your carnivore and herbivore friends here! This restaurant was really nice they had many options for vegan and meat lovers alike. The impossible burger was cooked just right and the chili kale was delicious as a substitute. The buttermilk chicken sandwich was so juicy and crispy it made my mouth water. Seating: With Covid they have outdoor seating, it's a little tight but we made do. Drinks: The drinks were OK ...no real wow factor. I would come back to this restaurant. The staff was attentive and friendly.

You can always count on this local joint to cheer you up. Everything from breakfast to late night dinner, they really do have your back. I really enjoy the $1 Thursday oysters. Hungry like the wolf pizza options are vegan cheese, but you'd never know (huge fan). The steak on caesar salad is lovely. The chicken sandwich looks bomb every time someone at my table orders it. The calamari were superb but the arugula side salad with lemon and salt blew me away. A nice drink selection just to add.

I like this place a lot... especially for vegan food. My boyfriend and I love to order the impossible burger and it comes with amazing potato-y French fries! Fries are seriously so good... I love when you can really taste the potato if you know what I mean. Any way, the impossible burger fulfills our burger cravings. Love it because I never feel grossly full after eating it. This time, I ordered the vegan buttermilk chicken. It was good and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't say that it tasted exactly like chicken... but it was still pretty delicious. I'd probably only order it if I was in the mood for a crispy chicken sandwich. Otherwise burger is definitely #1. We also loves the cauliflower bites with hot sauce! So good and the best way to eat cauliflower IMO. The only thing I would say is that the white sauce it comes with is kinda eh. But you don't need it anyway! Last but not least I LOVE veggies in general so we got a market plate: tomatoes, asparagus, mushrooms, kale. Overall a little disappointed... had a weird smokey flavor to them we didn't like. We actually ended up throwing them out. Will not be ordering again. The other thing is that this place is kind of expensive but the food quality is great. Each item is about $15-17.

After having a double cheese burger and impossible burger, had to come back and update my review. 5 stars across the board, the double was cooked to a solid medium and super tasty. The impossible burger was delicious, my first time having it and was not disappointed. NoSo also delivers late which is clutch if your craving some healthy munchies.

This spot is a hidden gem in Hoboken! It's removed from the crazy bar scene of Washington so I have never heard of this place before finding them on Instagram. They have wonderful vegan options and non vegan options as well. The vibe is super cool and the waiters/waitresses and very nice and accommodating. We had a party of 5 on a Saturday night and everyone enjoyed their meal. I highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower, it's not too thick of a coating and perfectly cooked. I can't wait to go back and sit on the outside patio! They also validate parking at the parking lot next door.

Amazing as ever, this bar has top-notch food, (as always), great seasonal cocktails, and has clearly been going the extra mile to keep folks safe. Their snacks are warm, super cozy, and feel like such an inventive and safe option in the cold months. My partner and I both work in food service as well, and it's not easy to convert everything like that, and keep up such good service with so many new restrictions and requirements, but they do it, and do it so well. Super grateful for northern soul.

I used to live within spitting distance of this joint. I love the staff and the bouncer in front was just plain hilarious. A natural comedian, but also a really nice guy. He checks on everyone as they come out of the bar to make sure they are ok, or if they need help getting an uber. Class act. The atmosphere indoors is unique for Broboken. Folks come down the stairs from the heights, so you get a local crowd, and a urbane, younger vibe that mixes in seamlessly. Everyone gets along, and if you go enough, everyone knows your name, particularly on the weekdays. It's also a great event place, with private areas available that are a great size. Food is also unique, with a variety of vegan options. I'm not vegan, but I helped taste test when they were developing it. It's good stuff. For me though, I always enjoyed getting a main and two sides. I could be as naughty or healthy as I wanted, because the options for main and sides were numerous. Anything "buffalo" here is also good, including the cauliflower. The burgers and sandwiches are small, I wouldn't recommend. But that is the only knock I have.

Solid sports bar, not anything fancy, but decent food and good beer the burger was solid, and Guinness was very tasty. Looks like a good place to go and play darts if that's your thing.

Large group reservation for about 20. First time here for all and everyone enjoyed it! Service was quick for size of our group. I had salmon avocado BLT and it was delicious! Spinach as a side with poutine to share as an app. The poutine was good, but nothing like north of the border! :-). Especially thankful for the extensive selections for my gluten-free wife. She had lots of choices between shareables, sandwiches and entrees. Nice, casual atmosphere, friendly service, and good food at reasonable prices. Definitely on my "go back" list if we're in the area again!

I really enjoy coming here because not only is the place just a cool vibe, but I LOVE that there is a variety of vegan options to match with the non vegan options on the menu. This makes it a lot easier when eating out with people who are not vegan. Food is always delicious, yet somewhat overpriced, but I'm still happy to have the option.

My friends and I decided to pay Northern Soul a visit to try out the soul shacks. Besides these being the perfect Instagram worthy moment, they offer a private little oasis in this Covid world. These little private dining pods take the stress away of indoor dining. They offer options for 2-4 people and also options for larger groups. Each soul shack is heated - and trust me it's comfortable in there, we went on a day where it was barely 25 degrees and were totally comfortable without our jackets on! The food was also great - I highly recommend the salmon BLT. There are plenty of vegan options too if that's your jam but also plenty of non vegan options so don't be deterred. Another perk is that they validate parking for the lot next door. This is a major win in my book since parking in that area can be a nightmare. But heads up, the parking is only good for 3 hours! We were 12 minutes over the limit and ended up having to pay the garage fee!

Honestly, this used to be my go-to spot. Ever since Donald left, and the woman took over, it really has gone downhill. Message to the new gen manager- the customer is always right- don't fight and make excuses- apologize and be done with it. Really disappointed as what the popularity has done to NoSo

Decent beer list, wings I got were good, not sure how often they have pizza but enjoyed it during hoboken pizza fest. You might be asking why 2 stars then. Bartender does not know beers for example asked him what one of the beers was and said not sure looks like ipa. It was a amber or red lager. Have football specials which is on digital menu and on blackboard. Ordered the wings and got no such special as instead of 12 wings for 9.95 got 8 wings for 11.95. Was not going to bother segueing over 2 dollars so just left. Bryan

Pros: great ppl! Nice soul shacks ! Cons: terrible food. And I'm not even that picky an eater.

I went to celebrate my birthday yesterday solo and I went to try to get seated and the staff brushed me off , pointing to the Uber eats location like I didn't even ask for that which was weird. Then I asked for a seat and the server had a slight attitude like he didn't want to server me. So I continued to try to enjoy myself. Food was good. But I wish the server would've given me some more information about my drink but whatever that's fine I guess. I lowkey feel like he didn't want to help me with anything. Once my food came he didn't check on me or anything the one time I asked for ICE for my drink he acted like he was annoyed judging from gestures and body language. But once I asked for the check and I paid with my card. I clicked no tip with the intentions to give him a cash tip but He had the nerve to ask me why I clicked no tip ?! And went back and forth with me I asked him to relax I've never been to a establishment that asked me for a tip or why I wasn't tipping and I also said if you look closer in my hand I had the tip in my hand already. Which was sooo rude. Honestly speaking I decided not to tip and I told him why I wasn't I never experienced that before. It didn't leave me with a warm feeling about this restaurant.

Great service. Lovely people and patrons. Also - if you are at disabled , wheelchair or knee scooter their women's washroom is great (the door is not super heavy so yeah). I got dropped off in front and away I went to meet a super friendly staff)
