Our Story
We don’t just serve food at Dooley’s American Smoke House, we offer you experiences that resonate with your soul.
Much like it’s sibling, soul music, soul food has roots in the rich cultural blend of
African American and Native American cuisine.
Darren Dooley takes pride in his American heritage, proudly nurturing these inherited generations-passed recipes, and taking them with him on his personal journey from the USA to Brussels, and through quite a few cross-continental detours.
Every dish is a labour of his love for history, family, and creating a home away from home for people who like to travel through food.
