Memorial Day at Soul & Smoke 🇺🇸🔥
We’re open today and smoking all day long.
From prime brisket and pulled pork to baked mac & cheese and gumbo, we’re serving the comfort food people know and love us for.
Real smoke. Real soul.
Quality meats. No shortcuts. Ever.
Today we remember and honor those who served while gathering around good food, family, and community.

Excited to share two more pieces headed to the Evanston restaurant by the one and only .
When we started curating the art collection for this space, we knew we wanted Raspy’s work to be part of it. We catered her wedding years ago, and over time she and her husband became friends. There’s something really special about having artists you love — and people you love — help tell your story.
One of the pieces was created using materials pulled directly from Chef’s kitchen and the history of Soul & Smoke itself — spices, smoker ash, butcher paper, tray liners, pieces of the process that most people never think twice about. Seeing those everyday elements transformed into art that represents the soul of our restaurant was pretty emotional for us.
The second piece centers around connection and shared vision — the idea that community is built together, not alone. That feeling is woven into everything we’re trying to create in this space.
Art is such an important part of this restaurant. Every piece has intention. Every artist has a connection to our story, our city, or our community.
Can’t wait for everyone to experience it all together.

stopped by with our dear friend to select frames for a series of incredible photographs he captured.
These pieces are from Paul’s Muse Collection, and we’re completely drawn to the story and emotion behind each one.
We can’t wait to bring them into the new restaurant and share them with you all.

What people say
Barbecue restaurants are known for their mouth-watering meats, smoky flavors, and delicious sides. And when it comes to barbecue in Chicago, Soul & Smoke is a must-visit spot. Located in the trendy W Fulton Market neighborhood, this barbecue restaurant has been making waves since its inception.
One of the things that sets Soul & Smoke apart from other barbecue joints is their commitment to using high-quality ingredients. From the meat to the sauces and sides, everything is made from scratch using fresh ingredients. This dedication to quality is evident in every bite.
Another standout feature of Soul & Smoke is their menu. While they have all the classic barbecue dishes like brisket, ribs, and pulled pork, they also offer unique items like smoked tofu and vegan mac and cheese. This makes it a great spot for both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.
But what really sets Soul & Smoke apart is their commitment to community. They frequently participate in local events like PEP Fest and offer catering services for graduations and other celebrations. And with their recent expansion thanks to the Chicago Recovery Grant, they're now able to serve even more customers.
Overall, if you're looking for delicious barbecue in Chicago with a side of community spirit, look no further than Soul & Smoke on W Fulton Market.
