Smoke Soul Kitchen

5 star brunch all around! Everything we ordered was super tasty with great hospitality. TV to catch a game while you grub as well. I'll be thinking about that Mac n cheese til I return. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

I’m so glad Smoke Soul Kitchen has opened up a brick and mortar on Third Street! I love coming here for brunch. My favorite is the sweet creme pancake (so fluffy and perfectly complemented by the maple butter) with a side of protein and eggs. I’ve also had the chicken and waffles which was a great mix of salty and sweet. The service is attentive and easy to order at the counter. The ambiance is comfy and feels like you’re in someone’s living room. It’s also home to the Bayview Makers, and they’re starting to sell goods from the neighborhood. Definitely a great addition to the San Francisco brunch scene!

Love the atmosphere of the resturant. We got the last scoop of macaroni. It was really good just a little greasy. Highly Recommended !

Incredible brunch. The fried chicken sandwich and shrimp and grits were phenomenal. Having lived in Texas and North Carolina I wasn't sure I'd find anything as good in San Francisco, but Smoke Soul Kitchen blew me away. More than the food itself, the owner and everyone who worked there were so warm and hospitable. They were testing out chocolate chip cookie recipes and gave us some complimentary. We went with our dogs because I thought from photos online that there was a back patio --although there wasn't a patio, they had some tables out front on the sidewalk and were super accommodating. I can't wait to go back!

Really enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich—crispy, flavorful, and the kale slaw was a great touch. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The team was super friendly, and the vibe was relaxed. My friend liked the melted brown sugar butter on her pancake so much she asked for seconds!

My mother and I went here for the first time since it is in our local neighborhood, so we thought why not support local businesses. Unfortunately, we ran into a few issues. The menu did not have some of the items that were listed online, which was disappointing and misleading. We have also never been to a restaurant where you have to order before sitting down, and no one explained this to us. The lady at the front did not greet us or pay attention, which left us confused. Overall, it is a beautiful place with great potential, but they really need better customer service and should update their menu to match what is advertised online.

Great spot for breakfast/lunch. Delicious food, service and ambience. We will definitely be returning. I understand they will be good a wine/beer license very soon. Thank you for a delicious breakfast!!!!!

Killer brunch! I had their chicken and waffle and it was incredible, but I need to come back for their shrimp and grits. Great service and wonderful atmosphere.

Delicious food , fried chicken and waffles , Pancakes ... I love the taste and texture

It's really great to have a brunch spot on third. The food was great and the coffee was also great. It felt more light roast leaning which I appreciate so much. I dug the random movie streaming In the back. while we were the only people eating there on Sunday morning, everyone working made the experience feel good and comfortable. But most importantly: This pancake yall. So good. I hope we can get some entree vegan option at some point for my partner and buds, though I know it's hard just making it work as a business on third. But still, the pototaoes were super good, not too oily or "side" feeling, really felt like a whole dish in of itself. They also carry some whack donuts which is great. Everyone was happy! Just sayin, as people who live around the corner, would come every weekend if we had a vegan entree! Thanks for the extra father's days pastry!

When yu walk inside yur greeted very welcoming very clean and beautiful family portraits on the wall showing Family first ! I met her mom so polite and I'm non verbal so they had so much patience with me and my order and making and suggesting for me food was so good and tasty by my third visit I almost tried everything and never have I been disappointed I recommend this establishment to everyone for some good food in the Smoke soul living room I tell everyone in my bayview neighborhood that they need to get there soul food from smoke soul kitchen very nice family friendly atmosphere I'll definitely be back and support I wish the best for ther success in the bayview 5star and the hospitality is very appreciated Dexter Cato 57 years bayview resident and active community member retired longshoreman also work with her Uncle (rip) pls everyone go and enjoy some good soul food at smoke soul kitchen

What a disappointment! The food and even the coffee were lukewarm at best. Because of lactose intolerance, my choice was limited to a breakfast burger with a side of breakfast potatoes. The burger was OK but the potatoes were diced into corn kermal sized pieces, oils and tepid. My friend ordered a hot link sandwich on a biscuit. She said that the biscuit was doughy and there was perhaps a third of a hot link on it. I know food is expensive but $15 for that almost inedible biscuit and hot link wedge was a bit much. I was hoping for more. I won't return.

If you want a down to earth. Homestyle feeling atmosphere, this is the place for you. From The wallpaper that gives that nostalgic feeling from grandma's house, to the delicious buttermilk biscuits with the perfect flaky texture. This place will not disappoint. I got the buttermilk biscuit sandwich and boy! Let me tell you! Music is on point too with the r&b playlist. If you happen to be in the area.. definitely give this place a try!

They are so friendly here. Chicken has good flavor and does not taste greasy. Shrimp Grits was delicious. Pancake has good taste and not heavy tasting, but eat it while it's hot. I would go back.

Smoke Soul Kitchen is a wonderful restaurant! The shrimp and grits are my favorite choice. The owner is extremely warm and welcoming and the staff are very attentive. Great service and great food!

Stopped in because who doesn't need a burger topped with bacon and an egg served with fries for breakfast? As always, and third time continues to be a charm--excellent service, food and vibe. Slide in Thursday-Sunday 10-3.

5 star brunch all around! Everything we ordered was fire with great hospitality. TV to catch a game while you grub as well. I'll be thinking about that Mac n cheese til I return. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

Yummy comfort food. Delicious! Will be coming back here and trying the other items. Hotlink biscuit Shrimp and grits

Came across this stand at the Ferry Building Farmers Market on a special event one Saturday. While the chicken & waffles were tempting, I was really craving a breakfast biscuit sandwich. It was pretty darn delicious! Hot Link Breakfast Biscuit Sandwich: This is the breakfast sandwich I needed! So much more flavorful than those McBiscuits, with a great buttery homemade taste. The hot link was a great choice since it takes porky sausage and adds a great spicy zing. Perfect against the smooth eggs and cheese. I wish these were available near my office, it'd totally be my go to breakfast. Mac & Cheese: Not typically the side I'd have at brunch, but I do love mac & cheese, so why not? Lots of great browned cheese clumps. This is kinda like that picnic-style mac & cheese which is cooked, cooled and reheated. So it's congealed rather than runny. Which is fine as a picnic-style side. So cheesy and yummy.

The breakfast sandwich was amazing. It came with potatoes what I believe rosemary was in. It was a delicious bite. Great bang for the buck plus the owner has great personality in the service is great.

Neely opened storefront on 3rd St. Friends got chicken & waffles - 2 wings & a waffle with brown sugar butter & syrup. I got shrimp & grits - the grits were creamy & the shrimps had a nice char. Still in their soft opening phase, so expect a few bumps, but the staff is super friendly!

The hamburger and egg sandwich is a must have. The food presentation as it was brought to my table, enhance my total dining experience. This was clearly one of the best burgers I may have had, outside of my home.

Very good food Service good Staff friendly Atmosphere pleasant Really enjoyed Can't wait to go back

Decided to walk in after seeing this place pop up this week. I tried the smothered chicken which was really good, fried chicken was seasoned perfectly and cooked well, still super juicy. Also got the chicken and waffles which were delicious They had a grand opening and celebration for Mardi Gras. The place was decorated and it was a comfortable setting. I will definitely be back for another plate soon

Smoke Soul Kitchen just opened on 3rd Street and as a pancake lover, I couldn't be happier. Although my first order was fried chicken and it was amazing. Seasoned perfectly! Back soon for that pancake breakfast! So happy to see this space reopened as a family owned soul food restaurant.

Food was very good. I could have eaten two more wings for sure!! Maybe next time for sure. Music was on point too.

We enjoyed some delicious food during the Sunday brunch event on 3rd Street. The ambiance was peaceful with the garden setting. But let me tell you, the buttermilk pancakes are the best I've ever had. Nice and fluffy with salted caramel butter. The breakfast potatoes were perfectly seasoned.

What do I begin! Delicious and clean. Impeccable service. Should have taken home a bigger plate!!!

Whenever you get a chance to get some of SSK grub, go do it. The Easter Dinner maple baked chicken and Mac n Cheese was so beyond yummy. Go to 1 of their pop-ups, pick up a dinner or hire them for you event. You won't regret it

Hmmmm. Where can start Smoked soul, has the best bbq in the bay right now. I'm picky when it comes to bbq especially if it's not my brothers which I might add is thee only bbq I will eat. When I came across smoked soul in bay view I couldn't believe. Let me add that this is black owned by head chef of a woman and all the staff is family. Which makes it that much better. Oh if your wondering yes there sides are bussin bussin as well

Where do I begin??? I have never had a meal from Smoke Soul Kitchen that I don't LOVE. The gumbo is bomb. I love Any of their smoked meats but especially their ribs!!! Most recently at their pop up at the brewery I enjoyed some delicious wings, baked beans, and delicious potato salad. STOP. I mixed their house made BBQ sauce with my potato salad and boy oh boy was it amazing!!! If I had to pick a favorite it's got to be their Mac n cheese and their Cajun pasta. I love it. Smoke Soul reminds me of eating good food with my family on a Sunday. It doesn't get any better than that!

Oh my goodness! We hired Smoke Soul Kitchen to cater our daughter's graduation party last week. It was AMAZING! The bbq ribs were absolutely delicious as were the cajun salmon pasta and biscuits, and a gluten free pasta that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. All the guests raved about the food. Vanessa and the crew were truly professional and were conscientious about our requests from beginning to end in terms of what we wanted and maintained contact with us when necessary. I highly recommend Smoke Soul Kitchen and give them a six (if I could) out of five stars for food, presentation, professionalism, and attentiveness to needs/requests. I was actually able to enjoy the event, knowing that my guests were happy and being well fed!

Uncooked chicken, terrible food overall. Potato salad tastes like mayo, mac and cheese had egg bits still obvious, and greens were still super hard. Really bad experience overall, one day I really hope they improve this madness !
