Soul & Smoke - Evanston

“This week, my organization ordered catering from Soul & Smoke for a staff event, and it exceeded our expectations! Right from the beginning, Sarah, a team member at Soul & Smoke, was very communicative and responded quickly to our inquiries. She provided excellent food recommendations regarding the number of people attending the event and detailed the food items that would be safe for our staff members with dietary restrictions or allergies. One feature we particularly appreciated was the inclusion of food tent cards, which outlined the ingredients in each dish and highlighted any allergens or dietary restrictions. This thoughtful detail made it easier for everyone to choose safely, and it’s something we’ve never experienced with a catering service before! The delivery was on time, and they kept us updated with a delivery tracker, which was very helpful! The delivery driver assisted us in loading the catering onto a cart and was polite. Most importantly, the quality and freshness of the food were outstanding! A few standout items included the pulled pork, pulled chicken, mac & cheese, green beans, and their new dessert, peach cobbler! Our staff absolutely loved the food. Here are a couple of comments from them: - "I think Soul & Smoke may be my new favorite restaurant!" - "I think this lunch was great! I'm also happy we were able to support a local business." We are thrilled that we were able to support this local business!”

“How this place has 4.1 is rediculous...that is the nest bbq around here by far! Had the pulled pork that had giardinarra that was genius! Mac n cheese was amazing! My son had the hot link sandwich...the onions on there were spot on! So much flavor compared to the bland bbq around Chicago”

“Ordered a sampling from the menu for our family reunion. The offering from the brisket to turkey tips to the ribs to the salmon were OMG amazing. The sides and gumbo and shrimp n grits reminded me of our drive through the south. Thank you so much! My family truly enjoyed it!”

“Absolutely 10 stars.. Tell me from Indianapolis.We were looking for a good soul food spot.When I say the ribs are to die for the mac and cheese is like no other and my most favorite is the big cornbread muffin , so moist,deliciously worth the price!! So EXCITED FOR THE RENOVATIONS!”

“Awesome local spot that prioritizes giving back. We loved the opportunity to donate to the food pantry and pop a meal in the community fridge. Kana was also so helpful and even dug us up a phone charger since we left ours at home while traveling. The brisket, mac, and sausage were amazing! We can’t wait to come back when they open their new dining hall.”
