Phenomenal food, that’s arguably the best in the north shore.
Food was absolutely out of this world. Tips fell off the vine before they hit my teeth and don’t get me started on the prime brisket. But if you add that bbq sauce then you’re taking it next level. Amazing food

I ordered delivery, so I can’t vote on service or atmosphere. I’m not even done eating yet, but had to stop and leave five stars before I forgot. I got the rib tips, collared greens, and chicken gumbo. the rib tips came with coleslaw. every single one of these items are a repeat order. the flavors involved...man oh man.

If you love BBQ, then THIS is the place to eat when you are in Chicago! First, the setting is a great place to vibe with your date or friends. The music is a perfect blend of 80's, 90's, amd early 2000's R&B. But, of course, the star of Soul & Smoke is the 'que! The brisket was flavorful and tender. The rib tips are a must have! And the dirty rice was a perfect compliment to both. If you go to Chicago, you must stop in and try it for yourself!

Best Mac and cheese in the WORLD. First had this at Taste of Chicago and I've been addicted ever since. What's in this thing??? This brings out the violence in me. If this was the only thing I ever had for the rest of my life I'd be chilling. 😩😩😩😩😩😩

I greatly dislike the self-serve ordering, but we were able to just order at the counter when issues came up.

We went on a slow day and chose to sit outside. We got the meat platter with sides of mac and cheese, greens and dirty rice. Everything was great! The best part was our service. Rio offered wonderful, friendly, prompt service and turned on the fire pit for us. He was incredibly attentive and quick.
Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options!

The place looks amazing since you're walking in. It's hard to find in the GPS.
Parking: It's really hard to get parking on the street and the lot restaurant is full at night.

Went in knowing nothing. This is in a dining hall?The Google photos show it looking like a beautiful restaurant but alas. The food was great although the sandwich felt pretty small for a $20 sandwich. Flavors exceed portions here. They were also out of the fire two items I wanted which were tips and links. That was also a huge bummer considering we showed up around early evening on the weekend.
