EXTRAS
ORIGINAL BBQ
Chef Carter's Original BBQ sauce is a Kansas City-style sauce that's bold, thick, tangy, and a little sweet. Made with a complex blend of more than 22 artisanal ingredients, it's the classic choice for any of our smoked meats
TANGY
Our tart take on the Carolina standard. Chef Carter combines cider vinegar and pineapple juice with a hint of jalapeño, and rounds it out with the sweetness of tomato. This light-bodied sauce is a great choice for pork, and is a go-to for those that want to cut through the fat and add some spice.
GOLD
Mustard based sauce with a black pepper and ginger bite. An excellent choice to accentuate the smokiness of pork, and a perfect match to our locally ­produced smoked 'nduja sausage.
JERK
A Caribbean inspired sauce with a little kick. Soy-based with pineapple, scallions, thyme, allspice, and a kick from habanero. Great with chicken or rib tips!
CINNAMON COMPOUND BUTTER
1oz house-made cinnamon compound butter. So good with a cornbread muffin!

I had the loveliest experience here. Soul food is a genuinely apt name for what they offer. I was met with the friendliest service and attentive help in finding a meal option that fit my dietary restrictions. That alone was a gift but the food itself was so delicious!! And it was prepared so quickly. I was hoping to grab something nourishing before catching the train and am so grateful I found this place!!

I recently visited Soul & Smoke, and alongside the great food, I wanted to highlight the excellent customer service I received from Brandon. I actually came back to the food court planning to eat at another spot, but Brandon’s welcoming attitude and enthusiasm completely sold me on trying Soul & Smoke instead. He made the experience even better — definitely the kind of service that makes you want to return.
