The Soulville Steakhouse in Nottingham

We have been coming here for years for the best steaks in the city of Nottingham. What you get here are consistently great steaks grilled however you want them, our favourite is ribeye cooked rare. Great atmosphere and staff

Always find somewhere different to eat before a theatre show. The food is amazing and well presented. I have been to two other well known steak houses and this is by far the best. The interior is lovely and the staff are very accommodating. I will definitely be going back.

We went in at 6pm, thinking we'd have plenty of time to eat before needing to be at the theatre for 7.30. We were, apparently, wrong. Despite having decided what we wanted when before sitting down, the person who took our drink order shortly after we sat down couldn't also take our food order for... reasons? We ordered food at 6.15, and didn't receive it until 7pm, meaning we had to bolt it so we could get to the theatre in time. Half of my meal was uneaten. The restaurant wasn't even that busy, maybe half the downstairs tables were occupied, a total of maybe 16 people including ourselves, and not ordering all at once. Music was loud, didn't really make for a "relaxing, chatty" sort of atmosphere, my friend and I were practically having to shout to hear each other. The food I ate was excellent - steak was perfectly cooked, the onion ring was crisp. I assume the chips would have been great if the meal had been delivered in a reasonable time to actually eat it. Just overall disappointed.

Amazing! Food was gorgeous, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an affordable meal with generous portions. Our server was Sophie she was very attentive and polite, excellent customer skills. Overall was very happy with our experience!

I love a bit of motown, and Soulville delivers this in spades. It could do with dropping the sound a few decibels. I'm dropping a star because the table was sticky. It's a restaurant. There is no excuse for that. The atmosphere was fun. A few drunken singers in the house. When it gets to food. I'm a happy camper. The portions were huge, and the quality was good. I saw a few people attempting the mixed grill, and it looked awesome. This is a simple restaurant with good old real food. I will be back

Very good value for money and great food and excellent service just great

I came for my birthday, and it was really nice. They had decorated the table for us. My young nephews enjoyed looking at the jukebox and selecting songs. The food was amazing, we nearly all had steak and it was to die for. I've never had steak before, but this was mouth watering and I'm not sure anything will beat it.

Lovely place to go and eat, me and my husband usually go in here whenever we're in town. The food is always lovely and the staff are always very polite and welcoming.

A decent find. It's a lovely old school interior and the staff were very welcoming. The steak was cooked as requested and the sides were good. It's not the best steak you'll ever have.. but certainly decent and reasonable value.

Drove 50 miles to find it closed despite website and Google saying open

This is the only steak restaurant in the city centre I use on a regular basis,maybe once/twice a month.Food is always excellent,staff are superb and even though it's a "Soul" music restaurant and I'm a Metalhead,I'll put up with the music as I love the place so much.😀😀

called in today with my wife and grandaughter had a lovely meal with great service. My grandaughter had a great time and even got an extra dessert ( on the house) which was really appreciated thank you . We will be back soon thanks again. oh i nearly forgot some cracking tunes on the juke box.

Probably the best steakhouse I've eaten at anywhere, lovey chap who waited on us, lovely glass of Merlot aswell, highly recommend

Unfortunately the manager of this place wants to go home early. So, he's set the closing time at 9 pm during the week. It's so sad. This used to be a wonderful fun place to go, but now it's an early-closng boring place. Very sad

Love the place never had a bad meal yet Best steak house in Nottingham

Great service, friendly staff very helpful and accommodating. fabulous food, we have never had a bad experience here. Would recommend every time.

Great steak and sauces. Peppercorn sauce and rib eye really good. Excellent music. Service a bit slow but it was busy.

Absolute gem! My son chose this restaurant for a graduation celebration. He particularly wanted steak AND ribs. I opted for cajun chicken, & husband had rump steak which he said was the best he's had in ages. Our desserts were crumble & ice cream, cheesecake & choc fudge sundae. Everything home-cooked & delicious. There's a free jukebox, mainly soul & Motown so you can pick your faves. They were very accommodating, despite our late arrival. Highly recommended - it was a delight!

This restaurant of the Soulville Restaurant in Nottingham. Is fantastic and worth a visit with your friends and family. The service and meals were excellent and they were very helpful. I thoroughly recommend that you can get to experience lovely meals that this restaurant provides.

Best steak in Nottingham. I love it here, the service and the atmosphere is always quality. If you want an independently owned restaurant that's quality. Then look no further.

When in Nottingham ALWAYS use this great restaurant motown records playing steak to die for marvellous staff what more could you ask for. 100%recommend.

Fantastic service, the staff are all friendly and go above and beyond. Absolutely mind blowing food. It’s the best Fast service times and a friendly atmosphere. The wings fall off the bone. The lamb was cooked beyond perfectly. The home made sauces are better than I’ve tasted anywhere else. . Can’t find a single fault. We’ll definitely be returning!

Lovely meal early doors before a show does get busy as very popular so we'll worth booking. Steak and Lasagne were great cooked perfectly

Staff were excellent, friendly and welcoming, food was amazing and atmosphere well if you love the music you love the music yeeeees

This place is good. We had chose of the lunch offer menu and it was tasty. We even ordered extra ribs to share as we had heard they were so good. Turns out my pal preferred the wings, but both were delicious. The food was great and even better for the price, I particularly liked the addition of the full boat of sauce with the steak. I love my sauces and I never usually get enough. My only fault was that when the cutlery was brough wrapped in a napkin that the napkin was wet though. Was this deliberate to wipe wet fingers after eating ribs and wings? I doubt it but oh well. The other niggle was the drinks order was slow. We ordered cocktails, expecting to be able to drink them whilst we waited for the starter, and then we had wine on order. But the cocktails came at the same time as the starters. I saw someone give the bar a nod to sort it, but they were late anyway. Overall, very good. Please use this place everyone, we don't want another casualty from our Nottingham local scene. I didn't see the jukebox to play on. I'll look next time and even ask.

Absolutely fantastic place to eat, the music is great as well

Nice atmosphere and music. Tasty steak.

Great food with touch of motown

Amazing food and reasonably priced. Staff are really friendly and attentive. Really liked the atmosphere and music ! Would definitely come back again.

Good steaks, excellent service.

normal steakhouse value portions

The wife and I spent the day together for our 25 wedding anniversary We drove to Nottingham for some shopping and lunch We found The Soulville Steakhouse Great friendly real people and amazing food The wife and I can't wait to go again

Food was great and the service was excellent . For me it was too rowdy with people constantly going to the kitchen door peeping through the window making gestures. We were near the door so a little distracting to say the least. Sorry Soulville not going to be returning customer

Been going for years, a great atmosphere, and great food.

Went as a party of 13 and the food was excellent, everyone was served at the same time and all steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. Staff were lovely and attentive. The decor and music were fabulous, great place would highly recommend!

Highly recommend visiting here, food was amazing, steak cooked to perfection exactly what I asked for!

Everything about this place is just fabulous, the food is quite stunning best meal out for a while , soul music obviously is a plus

Party of 9 Wednesday night. Food was absolutely spot on. No frills, no messing about, just a damn good feed. One of the best steaks I've ever had, everyone at the table said the same. Uncle visiting from Australia had been searching for a mixed grill, and yours certainly did the job!!!

We had a great meal, the food was amazing.

Get together with friends from Newcastle. Great food, atmosphere and service. Waiter was very helpful with a couple of requests we made. Would definitely recommend. Great night thank you.

Certainly gone downhill since tge last time I went.

Had a great meal very good value and great quality! The staff + Melissa were super friendly and service was excellent definitely return, highly recommended!

Delicious food, great value for money. Good service and music too. I had the homemade tomato & basil soup for starter and my sister had the breaded mushrooms. For my main I had the 6oz rump steak with chips and a stilton, cream & white wine sauce. My sister had the ribs with chips. All courses were off the 1, 2 or 3 course menu.

Really nice place and the staff are so friendly. Food was put quickly but didn't feel forced or rushed

Never disappoint me. Steak cooked the way I asked, ribs just the way I like them. Would recommend it to anyone to try.

Really enjoyed food and the restaurant athmosphere. Highly recommended

Food was great and was the atmosphere, staff were perfectly attentive

Went with my daughters, had wonderful starters but had the ribs for main, absolutely disgusted, hardly any meat on the ribs ,unlike in the past. overloaded with sauce , a waste of money, never again.

Fantastic venue never disappoints

I’ve been a few times and the food is the best I’ve ever had in Notts when it comes to steak. However the service alone for my mums birthday was second to none. I nearly ruined her cake and they sorted it they carried it up another floor without it dropping. Separated our bills by taking our names, looked after my little nephew after boredom struck. I could not fault them if I wanted to. It made her birthday so so special and it was a big one as well!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Value for money

Always visit Soulville Steakhouse, and our feeling for this place has never changed the food / service and atmosphere is outstanding and the staff are always welcoming and kind. Such a great place to have in Nottingham (they have a Chesterfield restaurant too). The food is always cooked piping hot and tasty, we've been more times than I can remember, Valentines/Christmas/Mother's Day/ When family come to visit or just popping in for good food. Photos attached are from when we visited for the 2024 Valentines Menu.

This restaurant serves the best steaks with speedy service no matter what time of the day you go! This is our fave restaurant in Nottingham town centre!

Fabulous staff service my Daughter and partner joined my husband and myself with their 3 week old daughter staff were attentive during our visit and stay. Food was fabulous and the atmosphere second to none. Thankyou Glenys Success-Wilson we will all return again very soon

Great Food and Service, really helpful when you have a young person in your party,steaks great and staff allergen/intolerance aware, as some in our group were gluten/soya/dairy intolerant ,so no problems there.would recommend.

First class service all round. Food was lovely and cooked just as ordered. Refreshingly no service charge on the bill. Thanks to all of your team..

Was stressed and messing around and they went out their way to deliver. Excellent. Bosh

Fabulous food. Very generous portions and a sensible price. The rump steak was cooked to perfection. A hidden gem, that should not be missed. We have been here many times and the food is bang on every time.

My daughter granddaughter and myself went to Soulville Steakhouse this afternoon the food was excellent as on previous occasions staff excellent and the Manager fabulous a really hands on guy who supports his staff.

Having read some amazing reviews of this place, me and my husband visited on Saturday late afternoon. It was busy and we hadn't booked but they quickly found us a table. We both chose off the lunchtime set menu which was great value for money. I can honestly say it was the nicest steak I've ever had, cooked to perfection and the Stilton sauce was divine. There was no fat or gristle on my steak and I could have cut it with a butter knife. The staff were friendly, and very attentive. Service was quick and they asked if we wanted to wait for a few minutes before they brought out desserts. We did not feel rushed at all. We will certainly go back next time we are in Nottingham.

Fabulous food and a relaxed environment with plenty of interest for music lovers - will definitely visit again next time I’m in Nottingham.

The food was amazing 100% the young staff was great 😊 and very friendly . But I can honestly say I’ve never meet a RUDE manger like the one that served us today (sherif ) I think his name was . I have no idea how he has a mangers job there he needs to go and do a customer services course etc. 😞

What a fantastic place and with perhaps the most professional and tender staff I have met in a long time. All were a credit to the industry. The table had decorations on it for my mums 70th birthday and a happy birthday blackboard- I didn’t ask for this so was such a nice touch. The food and mood of the place remains authentic to the Motown mood but guess what… the flaming juke box wasn’t working- the reason why I brought my 70 yr old mam to the place was so she could press the buttons and lose herself to the music! Noted later though when we had overstayed our welcome that the juke box miraculously started to work ( 2.30 table booking but still there 6pm)- such a shame! Keep the juke box working whilst the business is open would be my suggestion. Sometimes people are invested in simple things like listening to music and come descent distances to do so! Other than that, super food, mood and attentive staff.

The food was absolutely amazing and all the staff were so friendly, a good time had by me and my friends will defo be back at soulville soon.

Closed at 5 on a Sunday. Still managed to get a few drinks in.

Ist visit for us,but definitely won't be our last. Excellent food,Excellent staff and fantastic atmosphere.

Booked in for 15.45....in time for the set meal selection. Absolutely excellent,the food,the staff and the vibe of the place. It's been on my "places to eat" for many years and only just got around to booking in. It definitely didn't disappointed and totally exceeded our expectations. Staff were super friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be back in the near future.

Lovely place, went here on a date and it was great. Service was good and the food absolutely blew me away. It’s nice to finally go to a steakhouse that knows what Medium Well is supposed to look like. It was also very reasonably priced for a full service restaurant.

Friendly staff, steak and chips was beautiful !

The food was lovely but the service was not we booked early 5.30 before going to the theatre we only just made it for curtain up . Not good when the restaurant was not that busy

Lovely food, atmosphere, and music. Would recommend.

Service and food was exceptional. Very good value for money and we will definitely visit again. I understand the comments about the decor but I think it’s just the style of restaurant.

Amazing food and the staff are really friendly. The restaurant has a great vibe, and the location is really good. If you're a fan of garlic mushrooms, then this is the place to order them. 😀

Good restaurant excellent service.

The steak was good, the wings not so great and a bit overpriced. Worst was an extra beer was put on the bill. Mistakes happen but some mistakes shouldn't. Staff were friendly.

Approx 25 of us went for lunch today Christmas eve. We had pre-ordered our choices. The staff were excellent, the meals were served promptly and together, they called our names out when they brought the dishes. The meals were served hot and I must say that is probably the first time in a long while that I ordered my steak rare and it was served perfectly. When I was working we used to go there regularly for birthdays etc. but it has been a while since I have been there but after today's experience I will make sure I visit again in the near future. Many thanks to the staff for their excellent service and friendliness. After 50 plus years in the trade I am fairly critical of dining experiences but I must say this was one of the best.

If you want decent steak combined with fantastic music, this is the place to be. My steak was cooked perfectly, and I had a great night.

This place never fails to impress me! The food is consistently top drawer & the service is always faultless. If you're looking for somewhere to eat in Nottingham city centre, this place won't let you down. Good food, good portions, great atmosphere & friendly good staff!

Steak and Soul what more can you ask for. Good food great atmosphere

Good food in a nice environment. Been wanting to try this place for a while and it didn't dissapoint. Lovely tunes!!! Nice food. Only let down by table near the door so a bit chilly!!! Will definitely be back though.

Fantastic service from start to finish, staff were friendly and polite nothing was too much trouble. My daughter was given some colours and on the back of the kid’s menu was a dot to dot that she completed and coloured in. Food was cooked fresh and it was lovely. Place was clean and tidy. Overall fantastic service will be back again

Booked in advance for a party of 15.. but 3 pulled out the last minute.. The meal was just outstanding.. service.. drinks.. and every meal in every course was spot on.. All the staff was a credit to themselves.. 10/10 for every aspect of the night.. thank you Carmell..

Zentral gelegen, schön dekoriert, gutes Essen und sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung

A fantastic steakhouse in the centre of Nottingham. Really nice decor and atmosphere in which to dine. Staff friendly, efficient and polite. Steak was to die for, cooked to perfection with very nice chips and salad. Only criticism, maybe the peppercorn sauce is overpriced as an extra, However, a must visit if you like decent steaks.

Whilst looking for a restaurant for a Saturday evening meal, prior to going to the Theatre Royal, we found this gem on Tripadvisor. With only a 2 minute walk from the theatre, making its location idea. Booking online was easy and we promptly received a confirmation email. On visiting the Soulville Steakhouse, we were not disappointed - the staff were very friendly and attentive, the decor and atmosphere was superb, the Motown music was wonderful. Just a great place to eat at. Oh, by the way, the food was excellent, we both had steaks which were delicious and very reasonably priced. The whole Soulville Steakhouse experience was 5 star and we'd recommended it to anyone!!! It was so good, we've rebooked for our next theatre trip.

The building was beautiful but unfortunately the soul didn't seem to be in the food and definitely not in the staff 😓

Excellent meal,lovely soul pub and restaurant.highly recommended 👍 👌

Used to always be a favourite with family and friends and after Covid years thought we would give it a try again. Definitely did not dissapoint. The food presentation was outstanding, the steak and chicken cooked to perfection and all the trimmings on a special offer lunch menu. Offered the best meal and value in the whole of Nottingham! Lovely surroundings, good music, good food, exceptional service what is there not to like? Even the full price meals were excellent value compared to equally if not more expensive fast food plonked on your plate at plastic tables places. Impressed with quality and presentation Soulville Steakhouse - from a former, very faddy chef who believes in the importance of presentation and quality. Your chef was amazing thank you all for a lovely experience.

Absolutely fantastic again, best steaks in nottingham and a great atmosphere. Service exceptional as normal, magnificent value.

First time back since lockdown, NOT disappointed, we both had the fillet steak, wife had the 6oz, I went for it with the 12oz !!. Steak was cooked to perfection, staff very helpful & always on hand, food arrived perfectly timed, great place, looking forward to next visit. My complements to the chef & kitchen staff Tracy & Mick - visit 02/09/2023

Always great steaks! Very friendly, efficient staff. The bar, restaurant and toilets are always incredibly clean Good portion sizes, good value for money Thank-you

Went here again for my birthday, and as always a wonderful meal for all. The fillet steak is just delicious and the service is great as usual. Really nice atmosphere, plus free jukebox always keeps my daughter happy too! Well done to all.

Great steak at a good price. Perfectly cooked with a tasty peppercorn sauce. Very good chunky chips. Attentive and friendly staff. Great motown music which creates a relaxed and upbeat ambience.

Would definitely recommend this place as somewhere really nice, my partner booked this as a surprise, and we were not disappointed, starters were just the right amount to not put you off ordering a main course. I'm very fussy about my steak, but spoke to the lady taking orders, and she bought out the perfect steak, my only criticism would be the onion ring, it was more better than onion ring, and my partners only criticism was that he thought it was tinned mushroom (although I really like the mushrooms!) Over all, I would say a 1% criticism, but it wouldn't stop me going back to try something different. Beautiful meal in a very relaxed atmosphere with good music 😊

Best steak eaten in years! Service and ambience great. Would recommend to anyone ! Coming from a chef! 5 star place

Welcomed like family What a lovely evening , such a warm welcome. Food was fabulous , sirloin steak and salad and mash to die for...cajun chicken and lime both excellent. Very decent bottle of wine for a decent price and Kir Royales , what's not to love. Free Juke box was a great addition. Thank you for a lovely evening and even better music and atmosphere ❤️

There's been new Management and it's been a change for the better. Most tasty steak ever. Chips great, grilled tomato. Only gripe is that there was only one onion ring. Will I be back.... Just try and stop me x. Much prefer to Son Of Steak - how that has No 1 rating is beyond me as its more like a McDonalds but they bring the food over. Not great experience there - overpriced and mediocre food. So if you're deciding between the two, SOULVILLE all the way. You WILL thank me.

Great place. Great soundtrack. Great food. Great service.

Overall disappointing in general the restaurant was grubby tired and a little neglected However the key concern was food quality especially the steak! Quality was poor and overcooked The rest of the food was bland and not of a quality to match the price As indicated disappointing avoid

Lovely food ,lovely atmosphere, lovely staff
