Chef Daniel is great! Dependable and the food is really good. Everyone at our party asked for his number. We loved it and plan to order again and again.

This wonderful, sweet and tender ribs plus is a caterer! If given enough time, you can place your event or order accordingly!

I had Daniel cater my wife’s surprise party in September 2025 & his food was definitely a hit. His customer service and food are top tier. I will be booking with him again in the near future. Do yourself a favor and tap in, you won’t regret it.

Ordered the baby back ribs and Mac and cheese for Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint! The Mac and cheese was great, but the ribs were amazing! Whole family loved it!

Ten stars!! OMGoodness, these ribs were so delicious, moist & tender, my bbq sauce sat on the table untouched - we usually slather ‘em in sauce but there was no need for it. Those ribs were so good they are GONE/we wiped out the entire slab but I’ll take pics next time. And there’ll def. be a “next time” - I live in Tampa! Smoky Soul BBQChicago is so good, I had to ask how to post a review 😂 …just try ‘em, and see. Y’all will sound like me and not even be embarrassed!!

This guy!!! Chef Daniel and Ms Constance prepared a wonderful “Man of Honor”meal for my son that just graduated from Navy Boot Camp!
A Brazilian /Chicago steakhouse fusion! The meal was magnificent and we went relaxed and fell asleep happier than we have in a long time. 😄. Truly enjoyed every bit of it!! Thank you Chef!!!!!

Had this BBQ cart at Make up show event.
We ( group of vendors ) were buying food and corn bread from the cart 2 days in a row.

Just asked for a fork and the guy was trying to be funny and ask for $1. In front of the whole line of other people.

Definetely won’t order a single meal from this cart again with my team.

Great food at reasonable prices. Service was excellent. Right across from Wrigley Field, so we stopped after the game.

Exceptional pitmaster! One time though he went a little to heavy with the seasoning for the rib tips. But overall I wouldn't miss his work.

Oh my God, Chef Daniel and wife are beautiful people. They helped with my last min birthday party on Sunday Father's Day. Everything I ordered was very good, the ribs were tender and the mac & cheese was on point. My guess really enjoyed. Thank you Chef Daniel

We reached out to Chef Daniel for a Pan of ribtips and 10lbs of Brisket for a graduation party. The food exceeded expectations..The service was great. Chef Daniel is a Craftsman and produces Best in Class BBQ. Sir I'm rocking with you.
