The beast BBQ Beans around – I am a huge fan of Smoque but always open to try new places. A friend and I went to Smoke Daddy one night and it was very good. The ribs were very good and the beans were great. Their beans are better then smoques and the best I have had. If you are a bbq fan you shouldn't miss Smoke daddy. Enjoy

Live music heats up this dark, divey Wicker Park barbecue spot. – In Short Photos of blues and jazz greats hang on chipped, seafoam-green walls in this narrow space. The menu is nearly all barbecue, with huge portions at low prices. The barbecue sampler boasts an embarrassing amount of pulled beef, turkey and monster-size ribs. Rib platter options are popular too, and include spare ribs, baby backs or tips. All are of the dry variety and can be doused in sauce. Skinny fries are an addictive side.

Thanks for the price gouging – Thanks a lot Smoke Daddy, you delivered mediocre ribs (at best) at a price significantly higher than your website advertises. When I made the delivery phone order, they neglected to give me a price quote but did not forget to add $3 (a 15% increase) to the entree price upon delivery. When I called and inquired the manager basically told me tough luck. Apparently, a new menu was released today but the website had not yet been updated. If the statement "Prices may vary" was anywhere on the websit... read more

fast and...cold? – I used to L-O-V-E this place and I don't care if service isn't great: what do you expect, this is a no frills place, straight forward and genuine as is its food. I just went back: spring is shyly creeping in, and I couldn't wait to sit outside and enjoy my rib tips + blue moon. The waitress was very friendly, nice and helpful. Service was good: we got our food fast and.... cold! We asked to have it re-heated, but still, when we got it back, it was lukewarm. Such a disappointment! Well, I love their ribs, b... read more

I love this place! – The Smoke Daddy is delicious. People need to be more understanding that the quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere is totally dependable on whether or not they are busy. The beef brisket is my favorite! I love the cornbread, the salad, all of it. Sometimes, its a pain to go there, but overall I would have to say its my fav bbq joint in the city.

Aweful BBQ- Nominate for WORST BBQ in the city, quite possible WORST BBQ EVER! – I love ribs and have made it a point to try numerous rib joints throughout Chicago. I would have to say that Smoke Daddy's ribs are by far the worst ribs I've had in this city let alone in my life. I'm not sure if it was because it was carry out (which is still by far no excuse) but the food was awful and would say the only thing edible was the brown paper bag it came in. The ribs were either (A) underdeveloped bone (B) more reminiscent of beef ... read more

Over-hyped BBQ joint!! – When you walk into a restaurant at dinner time and don't see that many people eating there that tells me one thing. It isn't that great! It turned out to be the case with Smoke Daddy. I ordered their specialty baby back ribs which came with 2 sides, so I chose the Mac N Cheese and sweet potato fries. One word that would truly describe it is..Awful. The MNC was lukewarm and I swear to God it was made with that artificial Velveeta (or cheese whiz) cheese, Kraft macaroni and some jalopeno peppers and so... read more

Horrible Service and Cold Food – I wasn't going to write a review. Instead, I thought I'd go right to the source and let the restaurant owners/management know about their issues. Well, I wrote to the e-mail address they have listed on their site, but it bounced back as "mailbox full," so I'll publish it here. BTW, it's no surprise that the e-mail bounced back to me. If they run their e-mail account like they run their restaurant, it's no surprise. Or, perhaps, they have SO many complaints, they can't keep up. Either way, her... read more

Overall a good restaurant – We went here on an early Saturday evening. We were seated promptly, as the place wasn't yet busy. Food was generally good BBQ, though I like my ribs a little meatier than what they served us here. The pulled-pork sandwich is tops, as are the sweet-potato fries and the cornbread. Service was perfectly fine until we got our food, then it fell apart as the restaurant got busier. Still, there were plenty of servers, so waiting 30 minutes to get our plates cleared, then another 15 minutes before asking... read more
