The classic Smoke Daddy pulled pork was stacked atop a very run-of-the-mill English muffin and covered with perfectly poached eggs and a chipotle hollandaise sauce . http://bit.ly/1KDkmDb

Pulled pork sandwich here is a bit small, so order it Carolina Style (additional $1.50) to fill the bun out. Use the white-capped sauce (it's the best of the three). Bonus: Seasonal Sam Adams on tap !

Eric Recio

The food was very good. Waitress was very attentive as well . Met the manager/owner, and he was very cool too. Highly recommend this place. When it gets warmer I plan to try the outdoor seating area

C Rey

Solid BBQ , good beers and other drinks too. I suggest a table in the bar side and preferably in the summer. Get the burnt ends and Mac and cheese . Hush puppies to start.

Marty Colchamiro

Great sampler plate . Cole slaw homemade and great. Sweet potato fries very good. You are in for treat. First time here but not the last

nikki hill

My husband came here three nights in a row. Have to admit it's pretty ridiculously good. Must haves: wings (the chipotle ranch is addictive) and sweet potato fries (tossed in cinnamon sugar ). YUM

Now THIS is a BBQ place . Smoke daddy >> Chicago Q. Great brunch , brisket and bloody Mary's . You even get a small beer shooter ????

Voted Best Meats Brunch : Smoke Daddy puts a meaty twist on brunch classics. Also one of our favorite spots for a game-day brunch ! Read more

Nick Agro

Usually I ignore the fanfare surrounding restaurants offering sweet potato fries but they are actually really good here. Crispy , not vegetably like other places. Also, RIBSS! The best!

Time Out Chicago

Reserve your hunger for “The Rib Sampler ,” a huge plate of baby back ribs , spareribs and rib tips . Don’t worry: The pink, smoky meat pulls off the bone easily, so you’ll clean your plate. Read more

The Daddy is a Wicker Park standby. Go for the pulled pork and indulgent weekend brunch (the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich is a must); stay for the giant patio and live music .

Ross Caruso

Died and came back to life eating their jump-off-the-bone ribs . They are a must order. Plus the food came out within 5 minutes of ordering.

Rebeca Aguilar

Oh does delicious ribs !!!..order the ribs platter with out of this world mac-n-cheese and sweet potato fries ...just awesome and of course beer .

Stacy Bo Bacy

Hella good. Meat from best to okay: baby back ribs , burnt ends , pork , chicken , brisket . Get all the sides.

Carol

Get the Burnt Ends sandwich , it's some of the best BBQ in the city . $4 drafts on Mondays!

Elizabeth

Incredible BBQ ! Everything was delicious and their collard greens are the best I've had! Oh! And the Bloody Mary !!! ???? you're welcome ????

Rachel

This place is obviously a carnivore's dream but it also has one of the best veggie burgers in the city ! So bring your veggie friends, they will love it too :)

Ron Hubers

I got the half-rack of ribs with the half-chicken...one of the best combo's I've had in a long while! Pretty good local jazz band was playing on Sunday night.

Mike Eagan

Yeah the BBQ is good but you haven't lived until you've had a bloody mary that's topped with a skewer of pulled pork and bacon and chased with a pony of Miller (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Domenic Caruso

Some of the best BBQ in Chicago. I've recently moved to Los Angeles and I find myself constantly missing this place.

Julius Bryant

Brisket was my favorite meat. Also had rib tips , baby backs , and burnt ends . The beans were pretty good too.

Amy Lebowsky

Twice now as a vegetarian , I've had a fantastic breakfast here. The Wicker Park Omelette is excellent, as is a Bloody Mary minus the meat skewer .

Jillian Burnickas

I'm not even a big BBQ person but I was really impressed with the food. The brisket is really good. I wish they had a spicy BBQ sauce though.

WOOD ROASTED ROTISSERIE CHICKEN with SMOKED PIT BEANS and COLLARD GREENS#SupportLocalRestaurants

Chris Jelkes

They have 3 types of BBQ sauce . SWEET was my favorite. MUSTARD based. Awesome. ORIGINAL IS VINEGAR BASED. it's the default BBQ of the restaurant

Dmitriy Sandler

Try the hot links or the ribs ...fantastic! Mac'n'cheese or beans for sides you won't regret. Brisket is mediocre.

Kate Schaffer

Get the burnt ends if you can. Mac & cheese is super creamy. Sweet potato fries are perfection.

Ruthie G

Get the chicken/ribs plate - comes with 2 sides!

Paul Somers

The pork is where it's at. The cornbread and bbq chips are both great sides. The waitress seemed a tad disinterested but it didn't take away from the great tasting food.

Prashant Patel

Dog friendly patio ! Get your best friend a pig ear

Ming Ming

The briskets has great flavors but it wants to be a little more tender.

Chris

Try the chicken or the pulled pork with the sweet and smiley sauce, and grab a cold one.

Jeff Weinstein

Live music on Tuesdays. Ribs and chicken with mac and cheese and greens. Ask for their homemade hot sauce .

Manoj Ambalavanan

The St. Louis style ribs with the sauce were delish as were the sweet potatoe fries

Elaine Clark

It’s the brisket , pulled chicken , sweet potato fries and greens for me.

Ryan Briones

Top 3 Mac and Cheese in the City . Combo sandwich with Brisket and Burnt Ends is my fav.

Nick Barella

Bbq sandwiches and cool beer selection

Dane Deasy

My favorite is a medium-rare cheddar cheeseburger with bacon , grilled onions , lettuce and tomato with a side of their baked mac & cheese . You won't regret it.

Staci Starks

The pulled pork sandwich with a mixture of the KC & Chicago sauce is bbq heaven. The mac is also amazing.

Marlon

Loved the burnt ends brisket .

Jon B.

The ribs were excellent. Also get the Mac and cheese .

Lee Allen

The brisket sandwich and burnt ends sandwich are both solid options.

Nora Benson

The burnt ends and the Whiskey Blue are great!

Kurt Uhlir

Order a full slab of baby back ribs . They may be the best in the city . Then, choose your favorite of their sauces to add

Elizabeth Blanco
