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!

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!

Food is delicious and service is super friendly - we tried the chicken and waffle, sweet creme pancake, beignet, and one of the donuts, and loved it all. If you’re considering going, you definitely should

So delicious. Everything we tried was insanely good. Very fresh and flavorful with kind staff. Will definitely be returning

BEST biscuit. Creamy grits. Great garlicy mac n cheese. Great hospitality too.

I've known Fred for many years and anything he brought to work was always the best food I had tasted. so he's getting five stars automatically.

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!

Another outstanding breakfast at Smoke Soul Kitchen on 3rd St in Bayview. Order at the register, grab a seat and they'll bring it to your table. Warm, friendly service, calm, comfortable vibe and just darn tasty food! Check it out!

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!

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

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.

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.

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 !
