Smoky Soul Barbecue Chicago

This guy!!! Chef Daniel and Ms Constance prepared a wonderful “Man of Honor”meal for my son that just graduated from Navy Boot Camp! A Brazilian /Chicago steakhouse fusion! The meal was magnificent and we went relaxed and fell asleep happier than we have in a long time. 😄. Truly enjoyed every bit of it!! Thank you Chef!!!!!

I had Daniel cater my wife’s surprise party in September 2025 & his food was definitely a hit. His customer service and food are top tier. I will be booking with him again in the near future. Do yourself a favor and tap in, you won’t regret it.

Ordered the baby back ribs and Mac and cheese for Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint! The Mac and cheese was great, but the ribs were amazing! Whole family loved it!

This wonderful, sweet and tender ribs plus is a caterer! If given enough time, you can place your event or order accordingly!

Ten stars!! OMGoodness, these ribs were so delicious, moist & tender, my bbq sauce sat on the table untouched - we usually slather ‘em in sauce but there was no need for it. Those ribs were so good they are GONE/we wiped out the entire slab but I’ll take pics next time. And there’ll def. be a “next time” - I live in Tampa! Smoky Soul BBQChicago is so good, I had to ask how to post a review 😂 …just try ‘em, and see. Y’all will sound like me and not even be embarrassed!! Sincerely: an unpaid, straight-talking, southern girl 😋🤗

Oh my God, Chef Daniel and wife are beautiful people. They helped with my last min birthday party on Sunday Father's Day. Everything I ordered was very good, the ribs were tender and the mac & cheese was on point. My guess really enjoyed. Thank you Chef Daniel

Nothing short of OUTSTANDING! Daniel uses the greatest time-honored techniques and leads the next generation of great Chicago pit masters... and you can TASTE it in every bite! From the great wood burning in the smoker to the appropriately perfect rubs to the tender chew, anything to try from Smoky Soul BBQ is well worth that try. You really can't get better rib tips and the brisket runs with the best in the country... If he does it, consider it a blessing if you can get it. I've been around, but don't take MY word for it. Once you get to enjoy, come back to this review and express your agreement. This is legendary eating from a legendary community asset!

We reached out to Chef Daniel for a Pan of ribtips and 10lbs of Brisket for a graduation party. The food exceeded expectations..The service was great. Chef Daniel is a Craftsman and produces Best in Class BBQ. Sir I'm rocking with you.
