I joined my coworkers for lunch and opted for the Rib Tips accompanied by Mac & Cheese and Collard Greens. The meal was incredibly tasty, with the rib tips being juicy and even more flavorful when combined with the original sauce. The service was satisfying, and one of my coworkers praised the deliciousness of the hot links. I'm eager to return and give them a try.
I have had a lot of BBQ in my life, and man, this place blew me away. To start, the sausage had such a deep, smokey flavor to it. The caramelized onions, sauce, and bun… Wow. The hot link was so tender and juicy. The brisket was also delicious. We ordered lean and it came exactly as expected with little fat yet was still tender, juicy, and flavorful. I did not get the chance to take a picture of the other items I ordered, which were the slaw and cornbread. I have never been a fan of slaw in my life but the apple slaw was GOOD! The mix of cabbage, apples, and cranberries complimented each other perfectly. Last was the cornbread muffin that was delicious and moist with a perfect amount of sweetness. Yes, for anybody who is used to BBQ from the South (where I’m from) or other areas where it’s more common (cheaper), this is a little bit pricey. However, I think the price is for good reasons considering the taste, quality, and portion sizes. Highly recommend!!
We visited from Idaho Labor Day week and checked this place out. OH MY!! Best bbq we have had. The brisket was phenomenal and my wife who is a salmon snob said that the salmon was the best that she had ever had. Highly recommend.
I LOVE Soul and Smoke! I’ve eaten at both locations. This is the first time I’ve been highly disappointed with them. I ordered through DoorDash from the Timeout Market location. I’ve been craving rib tips and greens so that’s what I ordered. Off bat, the smell of the ribs was unappetizing (smelled like bologna). They were chewy and full of fat. So much that I couldn’t even finish them. The cup of greens wasn’t even halfway full. They definitely let me down on this one. :-(
Came for a quick dinner and the food was incredible. Brisket was perfection and you only/barely needed your fork to eat it as it was so tender. Wings were perfect as were their sauces. Highly recommend.
