We visited Smoke Daddy randomly during Restaurant Week, and honestly, it turned out to be the best decision of the week. From the moment we arrived, the server was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The Restaurant Week offerings were generous, flavorful, and an amazing value. We started with the Brisket Deviled Eggs — topped with smoked brisket and packed with smoky, rich flavor. For entrées, we tried *The Freak*, a sandwich with smoked corned beef, Swiss cheese, slaw, and spicy mustard on rye, which was well-balanced and very satisfying.
We also ordered the *Taste of The Daddy*, which was an incredible spread: brisket, pulled pork, a full rack of ribs, half chicken, hot links, mac and cheese, pit beans, slaw, and pickles. It was an impressive amount of food and a fantastic deal for the price. You can really taste the quality of their in-house smoked meats.
For sides, we had Mike’s Hot Honey, mac and cheese, onion rings, and smoked pit beans. The mac and cheese was creamy and delicious, and the pit beans were especially outstanding — rich, smoky, and full of flavor.
We finished with banana pudding. The texture wasn’t exactly how I usually prefer it, but it was still enjoyable and a nice way to end the meal.
Overall, the food was abundant, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Combined with excellent service and great value, this place exceeded expectations. Definitely coming back soon.

Terrific brunch! An outstanding value as well. Brian, who was pulling double duty as the bartender, did an incredible job taking care of us and making us feel welcome.
Nicely done job of decorating for the holidays. Maybe not as much as in years past, but still very festive. Fantastic spot to visit before visiting the Christkrindle Market across the street.
Food is excellent, between the four of us we tried almost everything on the brunch menu. The Barnyard sandwich and Eggs Benedict are standouts. Caution: the Monkey Bread is addictive.
Two minor areas for improvement. Scrambled Eggs came out not hot and the men’s room still smelled of a rowdy crowd for the night before.

Brunch at Smoke Daddy is one of the best values around. For just $25, you get all you can eat, and kids pay their age, which makes it an easy choice for families. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and every server we met was genuinely kind and attentive.
Start with the Barnyard Sandwich (skip the pimento if you don’t like spice) or go for the Skillet, then follow it up with a brisket or pulled pork sandwich. The meat is smoky, tender, and full of flavor.
Surprisingly, the pancakes and hash browns are way better than they have any right to be. You’ll definitely want seconds. The monkey bread is fresh and tasty, though I personally like mine a bit moister, more like a cinnamon roll. Still a solid option if you like a crispier texture.
Great food, great price, great service. Perfect for a weekend brunch with the kids.

We had a great experience at Smoke Daddy! Our server, Ivan, was fantastic—very attentive and thoughtful. I ordered a cheeseburger and asked for no bacon, and Ivan went out of his way to double-check with the staff to make sure there was no cross-contamination, which I really appreciated. The cheeseburger and fries were delicious. Ivan kept our drinks and water filled and made sure empty plates were cleared quickly. The only downside was that the music was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation, but overall, we had a really good time. Would definitely come back!

We were at the CristKindleMart in Wrigleyville I needed a warm place to grab something for dinner. Smoke daddy barbecue was a great choice. The mac & cheese with pulled pork was excellent

One of the best spots to eat when visiting Wrigley if you want something other than hotdogs or beef sandwiches. The Carolina bbq pull pork sandwich with coleslaw is amazing! Also had the brisket, very good! The smoked wings had great flavor and are smoked with wing and drum still attached which gives you tons of meat! And crazy enough some of the best Key Lime pie I’ve ever had, which says a lot coming from a Florida guy!
