Soul & Smoke's West Loop location sits inside the Accenture Tower on Madison Street, one of several outposts built by founders D'Andre Carter and Heather Bublick, who met working at Moto. What started as a catering business turned into a takeout operation during the pandemic and grew from there into multiple locations, food trucks, and a retail line, all without outside funding.
Meats are smoked fresh each day, and the kitchen doesn't hold extras once they're gone. The West Loop spot functions as a quick weekday lunch stop for the office crowd in the building and a place to grab a cocktail and a snack before catching the Metra.
Regulars point to consistent smoked meats, generous portions, and flavorful sides, along with service that handles dietary requests well. The location's convenience inside the tower's food hall setup is a recurring draw, though some have noted issues when ordering through third-party delivery.
