Smoke Daddy Restaurant

I have been to this place a couple times now. I haven't had a bad thing yet. I had the brisket once, and pulled pork the other time, both were great. I have been told that take out isn't as good, but i have only eaten in. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone.

NOT IN MY JOINT

Well i didn't even get in the door; Im african american and this chesty guy bout 5'10(im 6 ft)guy met me @ the threshold of the place and (i asked him for a take w/ menu) and he let me know clearly that i was not welcomed in that establishment.Iam 46 I don"t wear hip hop clothing( no malfescance tendencies) I was w/ my white girlfriend we were comming from the fire(w/ my 2004 lex 3 series and bikes in tow) works and i decided to check the place out( read about i in red eye ).When i called the placethe next day the manager was indefferent and standoffish and made me feel like I should of apoligized to him . lastly no one was eating, every one was drinking inside and out; it was a saturday night about 10;40pm.
?? The place smelled good but I guess cause it is a changing area and @ that particular time they didn want people like me to mess the aura up??it left me soo hurt and dissapointed. I DID NOTHING TO RECIEVE THAT TREATMENT.

Walked in the door ,smelled good bbq smoke smell DIDNT SEE NO ONE EATING ??? Guy came up to me totally checked me @ the threshold of the place(im black)and made me feel like i was a robber or something.I read about the place in the red eye and thought I would check it out after the fireworks; psyche!! I KNOW NOW IM NOT WANTED IN THE SMOKE DADDY HE MADE THAT PAINFULLY CLEAR.Im 46 mechanical eng w/major fiberoptic firm in chciago. far from a THUG??
I have never had that happen to me any where i go to plenty of places (IN MOSTLY WHITE AREAS??)in the U.S. on business to eat and i dont feel slighted hardly..: but when i talked to the manager( about this occurance)he made me feel like i.. did something and should apoligize to him ????????
Remember, I JUST WALKED IN THE PLACE??Lastly this guy( 5'10 or so real chesty )didnt know any thing about me . I wasnt wearing thug gear ( im 46) had 2 bikes(1 electra 8 towne and a cannondale) on my lexus es3 navi series( 2004) wasnt looking for anything but good bbq NO MALFESANCE.
MY gf of 20 yrs + is white and i may go back to se if she gets treated the same but we all know that wont happen. All in all I feel hurt knowing that in 2008 im still not wanted in some places for no reason except for the color of my skin .But it did smell good in there and one more thing it was a saturday night and i saw no one eating outsied(every one was drinking) or in ?? i hope you have a much better experience if u dont trt heckey's in evanston they are consistantly great and a whole lot cheaper than smoke daddy's or try honey one( on western) wow the links omg!!! good luck
