Northbound — Restaurant in Souderton

Disappointment all around. Arrived on a Saturday before 5pm, waited about 5-10 minutes to be seated. Ordered drinks, turns out the servers have no idea what they do or don't have. Had to order a different beer because they were out of what we ordered. Heard the same thing happen at the table nearby.

First up was the french onion soup...it was hugely disappointing. I didn't like anything about it..the cheese was wrong the flavor was off...it tasted like sugar was added to the broth, after a few bites I decided not to eat it. For excellent french onion soup you just can't beat Bubba's potbelly stove.

Next up was a beet salad which was supposed to have spinach...absolutely no spinach in this salad, the entire thing was arugula which I despise - when we mentioned this to our server he agreed it is supposed to have some spinach but then left it at that. I ate the beets, walnuts, cheese and left all the arugula. My husband had a steak and he said that was ok.

By this time our server was no where to be seen. When he finally appeared and we ordered dessert. I ordered the budino, and my husband chose the peanutbutter mousse pie with oreo crust. Presentation on the desserts was lovely. Desserts were good but very very sweet, would have loved it if they had a more balanced flavor.

It took a great deal of time to get our server to pay our bill we attempted to get his attention several times but at this point we were being ignored, walking by without ever giving our table a glance. By the time we finally got him to run our card to pay our bill we were annoyed and just wanted to leave.

The train station decor is lovely, although it was quite loud in there. The servers are difficult to differentiate from patrons, their attire seems ultra casual and no consistency whatsoever.

Very disappointing overall, we had...

Went for lunch today, first time I’ve been (have gone years ago when it was I think the Local). Number one, the owner has done an amazing renovation of the space. It’s very comfortable and spacious.

Second, and I cannot believe I’m going to rave over a salad but rave I will – I had the harvest salad with shrimp. Oh. My. Gosh. Take out your thesaurus and look up delicious. Every word listed was this salad. Delectable, heavenly, exquisite, scrumptious, mouthwatering. Every ingredient in this salad works so beautifully together. The Arugula with the butternut squash and feta with cranberries is so perfect. I could eat this for every meal. The shrimp? Cooked to absolute perfection. It’s hard to find decently cooked shrimp around here and I thought I was taking a chance ordering it with shrimp but nope, it was incredible tender and meaty.

The portion size was just right as well. Often I find when getting a “fancy salad” it’s very small and you’re still hungry. Not here – plenty of greens, plenty of shrimp excellent ratio of all the ingredients and I was appropriately satisfied. Not stuffed, not left hungry.

Even the coffee was great. I drink it black no sugar so if it’s not a decent coffee I’ll know it. 3 cups (large) cups later I'd say I was pretty satisfied.

I simply cannot say enough about the quality of food and service. If you haven’t been you need to go. Their menu will satisfy the meat eater in your family, the fried food lover and those that are looking for a...

So as someone who likes boardroom and loves butcher and barkeep, this was a must to check out. Was easy enough to find as it once housed in a place that had good food before. Easy to find and the decor was great with an outside seating area. The place is small but it did make it work. I went with 3 others to eat and drink and 2 more showed up after eating. I ordered the brisket which was great, and the rest enjoyed their food as well. We had pizza fries as well. Not as good as sexy fries but ok. Everything was fine until a spiced rum and diet coke was ordered. Now rum and diet has been ordered before before at boardroom but this time it was noticed that it tasted funny. Three people tried it and agreed, two of which are bartenders. They said it's probably the bottom of the bag on the soda. That said it was assumed an easy fix, but no. The waitress took the drink to the bar, then apparently the bartender tasted it and said it was fine. She then brought it back and said the bartender tried it and said it was fine. Well considering the drink was full except for the few sips we took to clarify that yes it tasted bad. They did not replace the drink. Well my sister in law did not want another as at this point we just wanted to do our final round and leave. It just didn't sit well as we spent a decent amount of money and wanted to enjoy our time but if one person can't enjoy then we did not want to stay. Hope this place evolves as it is nice but I will stick with butcher and...
