Northern Soul Grilled Cheese in Manchester

Another lovely afternoon at Northern Soul! Love the Mac Attack and the sweet peach iced tea - staff are fantastic, really friendly and chill

Maisy was an attentive server, food was tasty and we were served quickly 😊

Food was fantastic! Amazing Mac and cheese toastie and Maisie our server was very attentive and very friendly !

Food was amazing! In cheese heaven ❤️ best day of my life

Always love going here for informal fud when in the northern quarter. Great sandwiches and service in a relaxed atmosphere. Shame the draft IPA wasn't on but other than that all perfect for what we wanted.

What a place, music, service and the food wow, can't wait to go back

Sunny was a glorious member of staff. Tasty tasty and friendly!!

Lovely food but I only used to go there especially for the wings and they don't do them anymore so that's disappointing but everything else is great 😊. Bring back the wings please!

epic. great food lovely people good music.

Brilliant food, served quickly and with lovely service. We ordered a lot and the portions were VERY generous so we left in a glorious sleepy, cheesy haze. Delicious all round, no notes - just great comfort food.

Really nice food, lovely staff. Chicken Tenders were like baby’s forearms. Would visit again, thank you.

The food was really nice, so I will deffo be going back. The staff were great! It was a nice vibe. Different.. The only gripe I had, was the filter coffee. It was just awful. Who has filter coffee these days. ? 👀 There's room for improvement on the coffee. Please sort it out. See you soon!

Gran comida, ambiente increíble y el servicio fue genial! Gran saludo a Gabbi y Sonny, tan servicial y servicio con una sonrisa y no puede hacer lo suficiente por usted, recomendaría a cualquiera para probar Northern soul y especialmente probar el palo de mozzarella, mejor palo de mozzarella que he tenido! ¡Sólo yum! Tenía el atún derretido esta vez pero normalmente tengo el neoyorquino, ambos absolutamente impresionantes

Great food, amazing vibe and the service was great! Big shout out to Gabbi and Sonny, so helpful and service with a smile and can’t do enough for you, would recommend to anyone to try northern soul and especially try the mozzarella stick, best mozzarella stick I’ve EVER had! Just yum!! Had the tuna melt this time but I usually have the New Yorker, both absolutely stunning

I love going to Northern Soul for comfy, cozy grilled cheese with friends. The servers are very friendly, even when it's busy they're attentive. All the food is great, one grilled cheese is definitely filling enough, last time I shared bits just to try more. The tater tots are amazing also 🤩 Music can sometimes be a bit loud for my liking, but it's vibey music so it's ok :)

Great tastey food served quickly in a a warm inviting location. And great service by Kasha who really looked after us. This place is a genuinely unique Manchester gem.

La comida era deliciosa, el servicio era brillante. Tomamos el sándwich neoyorquino, el sándwich Chorizo y algunas papas fritas. No tardó mucho en llegar.

Very good food and great service! Will be going back for sure! Staff and manager are so friendly!

*VISITED JAN 25* My friend and I came for the Tenner Deal (The Soul sandwich, fries and a drink for £10) but I also treated myself to some absolutely superb, lip-smacking mozzarella sticks. I NEED to have them again. Service was friendly. I was so excited to come here on a homemade food tour, and it did not disappoint. * Sticking to a classic, a friend and I shared The Soul, with no fillings (though you can have up to 3 for free). The cheese…phwoar. Just beautiful. There are all sorts of snacks and sides to get involved with also, but it’s just got to be The Soul. You can either sit in, or there’s another door for food to take away.

Mi amigo y yo vinimos por el Tenner Deal (El sándwich del Alma, patatas fritas y una bebida por 10 libras esterlinas) pero también me di el gusto de unos absolutamente magníficos, labios - golpeando palitos de mozzarella. NECESITO tenerlos de nuevo. El servicio era amable.

Vinimos a almorzar hoy y el personal era una ayuda increíble y la comida era aún mejor, que es una locura! Irreal Lugar

Mainly toasties with some other options such as chicken tenders. The chorizo and onion version and the truffle tater tots are particularly recommended

Really cool little spot for lunch, great menu and great service. Definitely worth checking out!

It's great in here. Nice independent. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent choices fir food and drinks. Reasobky priced. As portions are genorus. Been a few times and certainly will be back.

We went here on the off chance and wow was not disappointed. Staff amazing and friendly, food put of this world, would 100% recommend.

Walker passed and smelt the food which enticed me in. Very friendly and efficient service and the food was delicious.

Loved our visit to Northern Soul – amazing toasties, Yorkshire tea & lovely staff! 10/10, would recommend 🤩

I will not recomend because of the bad food served on it. Very poor and very expensive if you consider food quality and ingredients.

Incredible atmosphere with great attention to detail. Our server Lissie was professional, attentive and bubbly and made our 1st experience unforgettable. The food is just delicious 🤤 I recommend the big mozzarella stick and the chorizo grilled cheese!! Overall definitely worth a visit when you are in Manchester.

Amazing AS ALWAYS, great service from Lizzie and the team. Absolutely could not be friendlier or more welcoming, the food was everything and never disappoints. Good variety on the menu and always served impressively quickly!!

Popped in for lunch on a cold Wednesday and was welcomed into a warm, busy restaurant with a great vibe (and music!). The food was incredible, Mac & Cheese very flavorful and the sandwiches expertly made, service was quick too. Despite the menu mainly being grilled or fried, the food wasn't too heavy and I was left feeling satisfied rather than overfull. Just goes to show how high the quality of the ingredients they use are! Would highly recommend for a quick bite or a sit down meal to avoid the crowds of Manchester.

Passati per una merenda e per trovare un rifugio al freddo di Manchester. Locale molto carino il panino anche quello semplice solo con formaggio molto gustoso. Porzioni abbondanti e personale disponibile. Da provare, occhio agli orari di chiusura

Best place for great food, drinks and classic soul music and chilled atmosphere. They take simple toasted sandwiches to another level. One of the best places for proper tasty comfort food that just makes you feel good

Amazing grilled cheese sandwiches, very cool laidback atmosphere! Very friendly service will definitely return.

Stunning Mac and cheese + fried chicken omg 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Solo diner, had the Mac Attack with coleslaw side and Irn Bru. Absolutely delicious! Quick service, really friendly staff and good atmosphere! Yum!

Absolutely amazing place, lovely staff and great food. The portions are massive and the prices are amazing. Always a joy to go to!

Absolutely amazing staff and the happy hour deals were brilliant (we got milkshakes the size of my hand and I have very big hands !!! And the grilled cheese was amazing highly recommended

Excellent spot to grab a Cheese toasties. This really is the ultimate of cheese toasties. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Great vibe with fabulous soul music. I had the 3 cheese toasties and my daughter opted for the mac n cheese toasties. We also had mac n cheese fries and mozzarella stick on the side. Everything was the ultimate in comfort food.

We have been coming for years after accidentally stumbling across it, always been given a reason to come back, quick and easy and staff are always very accommodating. 5 stars doesn’t do it justice.

We entered as first timers, scared and confused. Dan guided us, like a shaman through a Grilled Cheese ceremony that we will never forget. The service was perfect, the food was amazing and the music - slapped. We will be back.

Great welcome and a nice interior, feels a bit like you're stepping into a New Orleans diner, great music to vibe to. We ordered the Soul with extra jalapeños and tabasco sauce, The Combine with mac 'n' cheese, a mozzarella stick and 3 chicken tenders with Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. Mouth watering and soul pleasing. The mozzarella stick is a stealer along with the perfect Ray's BBQ sauce. I'd say if you're totally famished, the Combine is your go for, my friend practically inhaled hers. While the Soul is an all taste buds pleasing choice if you don't like massive portions.

Best pastrami sandwich, highly recommend it. Special thanks Dan

Excelent choice for a good grilled cheese sandwich!! Good prices and great food quality!! Totally recomended!!

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Absolutely amazing max and cheese, would recommend with the fried chicken. Grilled cheese was out of this world. Will be back when I’m next in the area

Don't be fooled this is a food venue not a dance venu. I turned up and asked where the dance floor was. As all could only see tables .No we don't have a dance floor.i said but its Northern soul. She called for someone I think she wanted to throw me out straight away I left sadly disappointed. I get you would want to listen to Northern eating a meal but don't get angry if someone turns up wanting to dance to Northern. I won't be eating there because of the attitude I received..this was over 6 months ago so please don't blame the percent staff . Still not eating there even if the the food is great .I think you should educate your staff. And I will try and be a bit more understanding and polite.

Staff are fantastic extremely friendly and genuine. Food was great and very quick service.

A delicious cheese sandwich lunch whilst shopping in Manchester. Would recommend the mozzarella stick side!

Staff really welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you especially Gabi. Food was lovely too.

Awesome toasties! “Best cheese ever tasted” (as reviewed by 9 year old cheese connoisseur)

Friendly staff, quick service, fab food Its a must for cheese lovers

Great food, good prices and good service. Had the Barbecue Ray Grilled Cheese and it was really good, lovely melty cheese and lots of BBQ sauce. Would recommend the Tator Tots as a side too, they’re lovely! Staff were attentive and really helpful. Would recommend as good place to swing past for a bite to eat. Milkshakes looked great, but didn’t have a chance to try.

Great place! The food was amazing, all staff very kind and great music. I love this place.

Great music, great people, great food, what can I say...

What better way to have my last "working" lunch as I set off into retirement, Northern Soul classic sour dough with chips listening to Northern Soul classics.

This was so good the Mac and cheese was unbelievably good definitely recommend

Absolutely delicious! Good selection of dishes. They were busy and we were asked to wait, but this wasn't more than a few minutes. Staff very efficient. The wait was well worth it! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a satisfying meal! Highly recommend!

Been visiting ever since this was a pop up with queues round the block on Church St, and it never fails to deliver. Food is always high quality with a regularly rotating menu, today’s visit being the Christmas menu so I went for the Brie Wish You a Merry Christmas which was outstanding and as cheesy as you’d expect!

... always amazing, the specials keep you coming back for more! 😍

Delicious and plentiful lunch, friendly staff and honest prices.

Absolutely fantastic food, amazing staff Totally honest ate all over Manchester

Great place to grab lunch. Food was amazing today. We had the pork belly which was incredible. The sandwiches were full and very tasty too. Highly recommend!

Love this place. Excellent staff and atmosphere. Food was great, only thing that stopped a 5* was it's a heart attack waiting to happen!

Genuinely outstanding, really love this place. Sad to see the back of the frickles but having heard the reasoning I totally get it. Still hoping they return though! Had the Mac attack and my good friend had the fairytale of new york. Both were outstanding! I did add jalapenos to my Mac attack though 🤣 Service was a 10, atmosphere the same, food is just superb and no, it's not "just" grilled cheese.

Came here over the weekend for some hearty food after raving at WHP and it didn’t disappoint! The service was excellent - all the staff were really welcoming and friendly. The chorizo ho-ho sandwich which I ordered was superb and definitely left me feeling satisfied! Would definitely come here again!

Outstanding food and service. Sonny was excellent.

I’ve nipped into here a few times over the years. I was served by a lovely gent called Dan. The service was second to none. Such a chill relaxed atmosphere and all the staff are fab. I cannot recommend this place enough. Over the years the sandwich’s have changed but staff have always been friendly and inviting. If you a chance over the Xmas period try the chance try there chrimbo sandwich, mini roast on a toastie! DELISH!

Parada para almorzar aquí durante el fin de semana, el lugar estaba lleno, así que nos sentamos fuera, que era grande que no nos importó, el personal era amable y el servicio era rápido. Tenemos dos tostadas y dos lados con dos cocas, terminó siendo £ 44 (€ 53 ! ! ! ! ) que era una locura para dos bocadillos! La comida era hermosa, pero no justificaría los precios para lo que tenemos!

When I say this place serves the BEST Mac and cheese I have ever had ! I truly mean it, the service was great and didn’t have to wait too long for a table. 5 stars would happily eat again ✨

Opening hours incorrect so wasted a journey

I felt very good! Excellent and fast service, delicious food!

Great cheese toasties and I really like the decoration as well. people working there are really respectful and nice specially the guy with beards and the girl with piercings were so friendly. We arrived a little bit early and they were not ready yet but they welcomed us and try to make our orders ready so fast. I highly recommend try soul but the tuna melt was also amazing.

Very good place to try the Macaroni and Cheese Sandwich

Northern Soul music and Grilled cheese sandwiches, what's not to love? The chilli cheese sandwich was absolutely delicious, the BLT was divine and the cheesy bacon fries were lush. I live in Scarborough and it's always a pleasure to visit here. Def a must

service was incredible. the food was brilliant, me and my partner actually travelled from Loughborough just to come here because we had seen a just eat advert for it last year ! it was well worth the wait.

One of mine and my daughters favourite places to eat in Manchester.

Such a cool little spot. Vimto on Draught! Loved the sandwiches, ingredients were great quality and service was very speedy and friendly

Walked past this place but never been in for food .. had a new yorker with fries and a tiny rebel ipa beer .. excellent food and service.. I will be back

Came across this place online when looking for dog friendly venues. Food was delicious. I also loved that they served the toasties and Mac and cheese just at the right temperature there’s no blowing on food, burning your mouth. The surrounding area and street does need abit of a clean up though but I would definitely order delivery when in the city again

Great, friendly service and good food

atmosphere was great, good music, nice staff my mum ordered the buffalo wings and they came pink with the red ligaments in, was told they do temperature check the food and that it was cooked but it was literally still visibly pink, thankfully we got a refund which was much appreciated. BLT was so good otherwise X

Absolutely amazing, good portion sizes for the price and super delicious. All the servers are friendly and polite. Its very cosy with good music too :)))

Visited yesterday with my husband and our children. The staff were really friendly, food was sooo tasty!

Best Pastrami sandwich. They had before steak toast which is no more available. Nice sandwich. Recommended.

Spectacular food, lovely service and great music in the background! You’re truly amazing!

Just great food! Stopped in for dinner - had grilled cheese, pork belly bites and Mac n cheese. Everything was amazing, but particularly recommend the pork belly. Service was great, really friendly and quick.

Excellent, tasty comfort food! Best toasties about. Service really friendly and natural. Walk ins only if there's a couple of you so you're bound to get fed.

Staff are so friendly and it's such a nice environment! Good food as well

As soon as we walked in the door to this place a member of staff quite literally shouted in our faces that there are no tables available before we had even spoken. We have been here before and the food has always been great but this man was extremely rude to us and we certainly won’t be coming back.

A must visit when in Manchester

Food here is amazing! We've had mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwich and it was so good. People working there were also very nice and gave us some recommendations as we were there the first time.

Absolutely love this place. Food is delicious a d good value. Servers are friendly and welcoming. Only negative I'd say is that the bathrooms need some work.

It does tastes delicious as it looks.

Awesome place for food, drinks and atmosphere. The food was fantastic and the service by Gabi and Dave was simply superb.

BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS MENU! The new menu is terrible. You had the best Yangnyeom style Korean chicken around imo (Korean red). Now it's gone. Couldn't even leave us with the sauce, now give a miniscule amount with a massive pot of terrible mayo, and you can't order extra. The item should be chicken tenders with mayo (everyone's favourite, not). No wonder you tack the Sticky Korean name on there, no one would buy it otherwise. Everything is now inferior. Changed things that didn't need changing. Got rid of bacon, but add more expensive pork belly!? Which betrays that it wasn't for cost, someone just decided they'd ruin the place and that's a shame.

Tunes, great service and AMAZING food. The pork belly bites were 100%

Fantastic toasted cheese sandwiches, the best I’ve ever had. Excellent quality ingredients, very friendly staff. A little off the beaten track in Manchester, but well worth seeking out

came here to eat with my sister for the first time and the sandwiches are amazing, the new york and the mac and cheese are absolutely amazing, i was so full i thought i was pregnant but it was so worth it, beautiful girls, nice guys, amazing milkshake, and the music was just🤌🏾. will definitely turn into a regular because that was too good.

This was lunch on Sunday before going home if you like a cheese toasties or mac and cheese you need to go here we all had a mac and cheese toasted cheese sandwich daughter had it plain wife had onion chutney I had chorizo daughter also had chicken tenders and we had house fries to share. I like a toastie this was next level mac and cheese is often made with overcooked pasta not this it was perfect cheese sauce was a perfect consistency and was really flavourful without being overpowering like hot cheese either in bread or with macaroni or both come here the te Dersingham were good as were the chips

Overpriced basic food. Service was good. Coffee is not good
