Unlike many establishments in this area, the employees are all very friendly, nice, helpful, and seem to be really happy to be at work. The food was all very fresh and tasted fantastic. It's rare to find a buffet, let alone a chicken buffet, that's more so fast food than a restaurant and this is a good one! They're a little pricey, but when you consider that it's a buffet, it's worth it. Looking forward to my next trip!

Chef Phillip Breland hosted a tasting with 8-9 special guest as he went over his dine-in and catering menu! It was an up close and personal First Class experience in which we were able to see him in his kitchen, as well as conversations about his style of cooking, why he uses certain ingredients? We got the history of who he is, and the culture of Smoke & Soul. I have eaten at many food establishments in my life time, but Smoke & Soul offers breath taking foods that will leave you wanting more. I even videoed my experience during the tasting to share with and to introduce to others, one of Houston's Places to visit if your are truely wanting to experience The Houston's Food scene with a Smoke & Soul Flavor. I guarantee you won't leave unhappy. Look for my TikTok @DavidPrice2694 Video will be there shortly. Now Open!

Maybe I ordered the wrong dish or maybe ordering it to go had something to do with it - but unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed with the chicken flautas.
