Northern Soul Grilled Cheese 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.

A must visit when in Manchester

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

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.

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

food and service is always amazing the lady with the red hair is always excellent to us

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

We came down to Manchester for a long weekend from Scotland in celebration of our first anniversary & the sole reason we chose to come was this restaurant. My partner had seen an advert for it on Just Eat & was adamant we had to visit & my god did you guys deliver. We absolutely adored our meal, it was absolutely amazing & our service was just as good. I can’t remember clearly but I think our server was Dan? But anyway he was great & super quick with everything! We would thoroughly recommend visiting here if you’re ever in the vicinity!

Very personal service considering how busy they were. Kind enough to make a bespoke milkshake. I'd say more cheese on the toasie, but wasn't expensive, but WAS tasty!

Staff is extremely professional. I felt well taken care of. Food is delicious. Can't recommend this place enough.

Not sure how but some amazingly good grilled cheese sandwiches. Will be back for more.

Great food, great staff, cheers Dave and the team. I recommend the Tater tots with Parmesan

Utterly fantastic! Words cannot adequately express how good this food is. If you’re a fan of comfort food (and who isn’t), it doesn’t get better than this. Great food served by a team that cares and is fully engaged, this is a treat not to be missed!

Amazing grilled cheese, sounds silly saying that, bur grilled cheese isnt just grilled cheese. This is on another planet. The Jupiter of grilled cheese, the sun infact. Loaded fries are amazing, had the chicken loaded fries and some of my other half's mac and cheese which was also 10/10

Lizzie was great. Nice friendly service also very knowledgeable of the menu and last but not least the grilled cheese was the absolute taste fest.

Nice resturant to go into and the food was very goood considering the price. Not a bit fan of the staff there however, not so energetic and gave me a weird look when I kindly asked for extra sauce...

Wow wow wow. Ich glaube das war mein Highlight der Reise. Ich liebe Käse und da kam der Laden gerade richtig! Es ist sooo lecker und jedes Sandwich zieht lange Käsefäden. Geschmacklich top, Ambiente top, freundliche Menschen und stets der leckere Duft nach Käse. Ich habe mein Herz ein Stückweit dort verloren und eventuell waren wir auch nicht nur eine mal da 👉🏻👈🏻. Wäre jederzeit für eine Kooperation offen-haha😂

Immense food, buzzing atmosphere. Quick, friendly, accommodating service.

As good as ever, Northern Soul never disappoints. So glad I took my visiting friends who seemed to be thrilled with their meal. A shout out to Dave, too - very efficient and friendly.

Fabulous food and service. Thank you Dave for looking after us so well.

Great experience. Top quality food and extremely friendly staff. The server David in particular was a class act and went the extra mile to make my elderly Dad comfy. He was smiling all the way back to Glasgow after the lunch.

Excellent food and service, very friendly staff. The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is that the menu misses things off of their sandwiches. I ordered the buffalo chicken grilled cheese, and I requested no ranch slaw on it as my partner has a serious repulsion (not allergy) to anything containing mayonnaise, so I thought that I managed to avoid it. However when the sandwich arrived, after taking a couple of bites I noticed that it had garlic mayonnaise on it which is not listed on the components of the sandwich. Had I known that I would’ve also requested that without, and I would like to know exactly what I’m eating when I order it. Other than that I had no issue and the food was delicious.

Mike was a great waiter and the food was lush

10/10 food, 10/10 service. It was super busy so worried how long the wait might be, less than 15 mins our food arrived! Huge portion. We ordered a side of chips and could hardly touch them because we were so full from the sandwiches! We went here a few years ago and glad to see the food is still top standard. We paid £31 total. Worth it.

I love this place so much. Just hoped there was one closer to where we live. The manager is amazing. We landed from a delayed flight and we’re crazing grilled cheese. We arrived 5 minutes before closing time and explained that we have been trying to phone them but received no answer. Manager chose to serve us rather than send us away. Forever greatfull as the flight was horrible and made our day better.

Popped in today for some lunch and it was absolutely amazing! The red headed waitress was super helpful and is a real credit to the business, I think her name was Kasia.

Great food and really good value. Milk shakes were amazing and huge for the price. Staff were lovely and friendly. Food was delicious 😋 Not wheelchair accessible though.

I wanted to ask about allergens and safety before ordering on deliveroo and must have been calling the phone for about half an hour but no one answered! After reading some of the reviews on here I'm really not so surprised :(

A simply delicious cheese sandwich. Super quick, great and friendly service. Top Northern Soul tunes. Clean. We stopped mid afternoon but the breakfast menu looked superb.

Been a good few times. Will continue going. Chicken wings are the bomb.

We visited here on Friday 2nd of August. I ordered the chicken tenders with sticky peanut & my husband had the mac attack and added steak (we had the ranch fries to share) Food was amazing & we will definitely be back the next time we’re in Manchester. Could not fault anything with both the food & the staff.

Northern Soul Grilled Cheese is always high on the list when I come in to town. I had the famous Mac Attack made with homemade Mac ‘n’ Cheese, with added fried chicken. It was great. Thanks to Dan for such a warm welcome! Keep up the great work !!

Amazing. Well worth a visit. Food is top notch and staff are super friendly too. Highly recommended.

Got to say this was some tasty food, short review as don't need to say much top service, and great food, happy all round. I'd pay £3 quid for water in here any day ;)

Favourite place in town. Been coming for years and have never had a single problem.

Great place. Brill atmosphere. Beer nice and cold. Not tryed the food but looks 1st class . Staff are so friendly and helpful. Music is bang on 🎶🎶

2nd visit in and perfect again, can’t go wrong on the menu and service is exceptional even when busy.

The ultimate comfort food. Great place, chilled vibe, lovely staff. Sort a your hangover right out

Best Grilled cheese I’ve ever ever had. A must try

I've Been here many times and Everytime I've always had top quality tasty food and drinks, also Lizzie, Josh & all the other staff are super friendly, great environment, I highly recommend this place, keep up the great work, well done to the chefs for the beautiful food 👏👏

Top food top guys. Love it everytime I’m at city or in town. Top top top

Had the Philly cheese best sandwich I've ever had I've been all over America and had similar ones but this one was by far the best the bread was perfect cheese was really really nice steak juicy really fresh unlike most places where it's bought in frozen etc good job chef place is really nice and vibes are great clean place nice staff don't drink alcohol so had coke bit expensive but due to the rise of cost it's understandable staff need to get paid 🤘but worth every penny owners uve done a cracking job for your fellow mancs 👍

Amazing value and such polite service

Fabulous place . Excellent Food . Great service and very friendly, helpful staff . Thank you

I visited on Friday 2nd August and had a wonderful experience! I ordered the classic cheese toastie, tater tots and a strawberry lemonade - food was unreal! Toastie was amazing and the tater tots were moreish! We were served by the lovely Tasha who was fab! Loved the vibe inside, will definitely be returning! :)

Incredible value, especially their bottled water outside the Etihad. Food is belting and the staff are sound 👏🏻

Have been following these guys on Instagram from their days in the little stall outside the coop. Was walking past the site in the Northern Quarter and thought today is the day to pop in. The cheesy gooey hit the spot. Plus the staff were a delight. I spotted the stickers they had and asked if it would be possible to purchase one. They kindly just gave me one. I know it's just a sticker but it made me feel like a kiddy getting a treat.

Absolutely love this place, the atmosphere, the staff, but mostly the excellent food and drinks. Their filling grilled cheese classics are hearty and delicious. The cocktails marvelous and their milkshakes are some of the best I've ever had. Always look forward to visiting, highly recommended, always ❤️

Amazing talented staff! Excellent food! Cannot recommend more!!

Great place, good food nice people

northern soul grilled cheese seems to think it's acceptable to charge £3 for bottles of still water outside the etihad stadium.

Amazing cheese sandwich and Mac n cheese fries

Dave has the best customer service I have ever received and the best food recommendations. Hands down the best Grilled Cheese I have ever had 🥪

Received the best service from Dave. Lovely place, good food and draught beers.

Great grilled cheese and service from Sharky

Dave was our waiter and he was awesome! Great service and delicious food

Great food, excellent quality, fast and friendly service from Sharky!!

Had a great Saturday lunch in here, staff were very efficient and so helpful, especially Dakota who served us and kept checking in with us, brilliant music... obviously, Thanks

Awesome food, definitely the best sandwiches I’ve had anywhere. Lissie and Kasia were our servers and gave us a delightful and speedy service. Make this your next place to eat in town ❤️👌

thank you Sharky for one of the best sandwiches of my life! the buffalo soul-dier is a must try!!

Very nice food thank you, lovely atmosphere and faultless. Service was excellent by Sharky and would highly recommend.

Absolutely awesome food, definitely fills you up

Super friendly staff!! Only had drinks but we’ll be back for food. Looks amazing from what we saw. Fantastic with our dog. Bailey says thank you 🐶🐾

Surprisingly the chicken burger was the star of the show! Highly recommend. Personally found the mac n cheese quite bland and the grilled cheese was as good as a grilled cheese can get.

Great menu choices, great service and reasonable prices. Great independent place to pop in for food. The shakes are excellent too. Highly recommend visiting if your in Manchester.

Enjoyed the food here, definitely call again. Pleasant and well informed staff

Delicious food and super friendly waiters. A 10!

Food was UNREAL, the girl who served us was so helpful and lovely, think her name was macey, she had dark long hair. Absolutely asset to your company! Will be coming back soon🥰

We stopped here for a super late lunch last week. The service from both waiters was attentive and helpful. The old Motown soul playlist made for great atmosphere. We split a classic toastie with bacon and fries, which was plenty of food for the two of us. I recommend adding the bacon to the toastie, it was have been a bit sweet without the salty bacon. I loved the crinkle fries and the seasoning they used on them. Great place, highly recommended.

Delicious grilled cheese sandwich and the staff were friendly and helpful, thank you

Had the most amazing food here. Everything our party had was fantastic BUT whatever you choose you have to have the Frickles on the side, cannot beging to tell you how good these little guys are.

Great place, I ordered a chicken burger with buffalo sauce at first I thought it was burnt but it definitely wasn't, it was very tasty and very filling, the staff were so polite and accommodating and the guy who worked there made me a brew which was lovely. Definitely recommend and I will be back again :)

Excellent buffalo chicken sandwich on takeaway, thoroughly enjoyed it! I'll be back next time i'm in Manchester

Absolutely Amazing as always !!!! Food is excellent, staff are so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is second to non. We love coming here especially for the cheese bites … unfortunately they never had them in this menu but the beautiful lady who served us went above and beyond and managed to sort us out a portion of our favourites 😍 I highly recommend this place to anyone 10/10

So yummy! Was surprisingly very filling. Truly comfort food. I recommend the buffalo souldier grilled cheese

Really tasty, comfort food. Stomach lined for an afternoon and evening. Gigantic portions (you won't need a sandwich and chips each). Friendly service, if not a touch slow for the food to come out.

I'd been coming here since 2019, but haven't been in around 2 years because of my last experience. Today, the food was greasy, wings underdone with a cheap, overdone batter and Mac and Cheese that tastes like it was from a tin. All for an insane price for grilled cheeses and wings that likely came from pigeons.

Travelling up north to see Liam Gallagher in his hometown. I sourced this restaurant online as is the norm these days. From the moment you step in, you’re treated to an excellent playlist. Puts you in such a great mood. My server today was the delightful Maidie. She is an outstanding waitress and a credit to the restaurant. I ordered the chicken wings and loaded fries with a hand spun strawberry milkshake. The wings were in a light batter,served alongside a delicious tangy sauce. I should have ordered 5 and not 3! The loaded crinkle cut fries were topped with cheese, bacon and southern fried chicken strips. The music was so good, I didn’t want to leave. Barman Dave served me up two great cocktails. The first being a maple old fashioned, followed by a peach thyme collins. Both cocktails were delightful and part of the 2 for £12 offer. I really enjoyed my visit here. The ambiance, decor, music and service was excellent. Thank you team and waitress of the month, Maidie. 🌟

Used to be amazing - a cheese dream. Now that they have become a cookie cutter place, it sucks. Limited choices. Sparse toppings and dry bread. £12 with some mass produced frozen chips that are coated in paprika to hide their mediocrity. I used to feel like the chef cared and loved what he was doing. This time I felt like Weatherspoons would have been better.

Excelente restaurante , com sala de refeições e esplanada . Sandes / tostas gigantes, tipo 3 queijos mas convém adicionar mais ingredientes à escolha. Preços acessíveis . Staff muito simpático .

Amazing food! Better than we imagined. Cheese lovers heaven. Really friendly staff too, great atmosphere.

Really enjoyed my first visit. Food was super tasty and well prepared. Atmosphere was great and staff very helpful and friendly. If you like chicken, cheese, big toasties and macaroni, a super place to go. Would recommend.

Loved the food so much and the music. They need a dance floor!

Northern Soul is the best grilled toasted cheese sandwich restaurant in the world, not just Manchester, but even the best can have a little wobble. We arrive about 45 minutes before closing last Wednesday. My classic triple toasted cheese sandwich was dry and my wife's included steak which was impossible to chew. All other sandwiches were first class, as was the coleslaw and mac & cheese. Will definately return once I'm back in God's own country, but maybe a little earlier in the day.. BTW, our waitress was lovely.

Hidden gem in the Northern Quarter, food/service/staff/atmosphere was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Best in MCR - nothing beats this place!

Really tasty sandwiches. A must try in Manchester.

Best grilled sandwich that I ever tried

Northern soul with London prices. 2 toasties and 2 fantas for 40 quid.

Excellent visit to Northern Soul with our children on our day in Manchester. Everyone loved the food and the staff were excellent with the kids, particularly Maidie who made us all feel really welcome. Will definitely be returning

By far our favourite place to eat in Manchester after trying hundreds of spots. You guys always kill it and we leave over the moon with happiness everytime. We go back every week to fortnight and it's incredible. The menu rotations are always spot on. Loving the kim-cheese special at the moment!

Really friendly staff, made me and my partner feel genuinely welcome. The Soul Toastie and house fries was fantastic, arrived at our table in no time. I’d highly recommend visiting this establishment!

We ordered two classic sandwiches with gratin cheese and caramelized onion which were delicious, a plate of very creamy and soft Mac and Cheese and some fries cut in an original way and a touch of paprika which we also liked a lot. The service was very friendly and attentive and the price was good considering that the portions were abundant.

What an absolute banger of a place. We had a chicken grilled cheese and it was incredible. Really garlicky, bit you could taste all of the different flavours. The sandwich itself was huge, we shared one between 2 people. The service was lovely and for the size and quality, the price was great. That chicken was a game changer.

Great food. Dave the server was awesome very kind and helpful. If u want food come here is very good and great staff
