Soul & Smoke Evanston

We used S&S catering for our wedding and couldn't be happier. Staff were extremely helpful and food arrived on time, even when we changed the delivery window on short notice. Food was great and got rave reviews from every vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and meat eater we had in attendance!

Excellent, meaty, tender rib tips. Sauce ison the side, which is a plus in my book. Also worth noting, the pound I ordered did not have a lot of cartilage and gristle. This does not come with bread like it many other places, which is a good thing for me since I am gluten-free (GF). They do not serve french fries, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Instead, they have many different southern sides, such as mac & cheese and sweet potatoes. The staff were exceptionally helpful and cheery. The menu clearly highlights items that are gluten-free for anyone with dietary restrictions. The interior was under construction at the time of writing this review, but they have a handful of picnic bench-style tables so people can eat while their food is fresh. It was also very clean inside despite the remodeling. A big contrast compared to many places I have been to in Chicago’s south and west sides. The only downside was the price for some items. $6 for a side when you are dining alone for lunch or dinner can be a tad steep.
