About The Soulville Steakhouse

On Queen St in Nottingham, The Soulville Steakhouse is a steak house built around dark wood interiors, a spiral staircase, and framed photographs of soul singers on the walls. The menu centers on rib eye steak and a mixed grill, alongside burgers, ribs, lamb, and chicken and pork teriyaki, with wings among the starters. Sides include fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, breaded mushrooms, and cheesey ciabatta, and the coleslaw is made in house. House-made BBQ and peppercorn sauces accompany the grill, with a peppercorn gravy boat offered alongside. Portions run large. Dessert includes a strawberry Eton mess. Waiters and waitresses attend tables through the meal, and the restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations. The soul music and singer-themed decor carry through the dining room as part of the overall setting.

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers keep returning for the peppercorn sauce, cited alongside the house BBQ sauce and gravy boat as a standout that several wish came in larger portions. Close behind, mixed grills and ribs draw repeated praise, with diners noting the ribs fall off the bone and the mixed grill portions large enough to share or take home. Rib eye and other steaks earn steady mentions too, alongside sides like onion rings, sweet potato fries and breaded mushrooms, and desserts such as the strawberry Eton mess. Staff are frequently called friendly and attentive, though one reviewer found the fries underwhelming and felt a particular waiter could have been friendlier. A more detailed account describes a decline under new ownership: a colder, emptier dining room, food that no longer tasted freshly prepared, and a sense of being watched by idle waitstaff during a recent visit. Most other reviewers, including one who notes their grandparents have dined there for years, report no complaints about food or service.

    “We had a mixed grill some sides and a steak and all of it was delicious, peppercorn gravy boat was to die for. Every team member that we interacted with was attentive and a delight to be served by. Would recommend 10/10”

    “Soulville used to be my number one food spot in Nottingham. Back in the day, the atmosphere was incredible, and the restaurant was always packed—it was often difficult to get a table. Unfortunately, in 2026, the place feels like it's lost its identity. The atmosphere is lacking, the restaurant feels cold and uninviting, and the food no longer tastes freshly prepared. On our recent evening visit, there were only six people dining inside, which says a lot compared to how busy it used to be. What also made the experience uncomfortable was that the waitresses were often standing around watching the dining area due to the lack of customers. It felt as though we were being watched while eating, which created a sense of pressure to finish our meal and leave rather than relax and enjoy the experience. The new ownership seems to have moved away from what made Soulville special in the first place. Soul food is about flavour, warmth, comfort, and community, and sadly that wasn't reflected in our experience. It's disappointing because this establishment has so much potential. With the right vision and investment, it could become a thriving destination once again. As things stand, however, I worry about its future if significant changes aren't made.”

    “The food was great. We had two burgers and they were cooked to perfection, juicy, tender and full of flavour. I loved the coleslaw as you can tell it was made in house and had a distinct flavour than store bought coleslaw. Generous portion of chips that we didn't get to finish and the whole plate was very filling. This steakhouse is a must if you come to Nottingham!”

    “Eaten here a couple of times recently. Food has been fresh and good quality on both occasions. Today we shared, for starters, a cheesey ciabatta that was soft and hot and light and a portion of breaded mushrooms which looked pretty. Then we both had the lamb dinner - again fresh, good quality ingredients, well and simply cooked and smartly presented. Staff are efficient, attentive and friendly.”

    “Lovely place, rather large portions served, I was looking at others people's food coming out and it all looked lovely and I would have eaten any of it, i had a mixed grill as I wanted to bring some back for my girls (dogs) it was massive and the girls enjoyed their treat :) table of 7, all had different and not a bad word to say. Cocktails ate lovely too”
