One of my favorite restaurants in Alpharetta! Smokejack has delicious barbecue, their ribs are my choice every time! The banana pudding is also the perfect dessert. The service is great, with super attentive servers and hosts. They have plenty of indoor seating area and a really nice outdoor area to enjoy downtown. read more

Smokejack BBQ - FLIPPIN GOOD - Barbeque Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Great spot and great BBQ. Walked in on a Saturday at 6:30pm thinking it may be tough to get served. But we were pleasantly surprised being greeted immediately and nicely, then being taken to a table with no wait. Got lucky scoring a high-rise table in the front window so we got to do some great people watching and a co-ed cornhole game while waiting for our order and dining. Our server was prompt, polite and knowledgeable. We weren't real hungry but were definitely in the mood for some good BBQ. They did not disappoint. We got the "Son of a Gunn". It's a meal for two and included a little of several items, including brisket, turkey, jalapeno smoked sausage, pulled pork, collard greens, cucumber salad and Texas toast all at a reasonable price. It was all good and the choice of their original and along with a mustard sauce topped the meats off perfectly. Plenty of seating inside, out front and in the rear with lost of space and a fun, lively atmosphere. There was a live band playing, as well. read more

Hung out with some friends in the back patio dining area. Ordered at the to go area. Wasn't fully promised that they'd bring the order back so I had to go check periodically. The back patio was available to just our families for the whole time which was great. The staff was very accommodating to switch tv channels to more kid-friendly screens and turn on the ceiling fans. Big kudos to them! The food was great as well. Half rack of ribs with Cobb salad along with the vegetable platter (my favorite was the corn pudding). Perfectly ordered and enough food to distribute. I've been here for a company-organized outing located on the top floor and was satisfied with service and food. This time around was no different. Please keep supporting this business. Plenty of other options around but this place doesn't disappoint. read more

Holy Smokes! Smoke Jack is the real deal. I am only mad we did not try them out sooner. Online ordering was a breeze - which I always appreciate. Parking was tight in the small lot behind the building, but we were able to find a spot. It is in downtown Alpharetta so this is to be expected. There is a take-out counter to your left when you enter by the bar. Extra utensils, napkins, and wet naps are available for you to grab on your way out. We ordered the following: Mojo Smoked Wings ($13) Burnt Ends Plate - two sides ($17) Texas Holy Trinity - four sides and Texas Toast ($30) & decided on the following sides: Sweet Potatoes Potato Salad (2) Mac & Cheese Cole Slaw Corn Pudding Texas Toast The food was phenomenal. The sausages were both great. The burnt ends are the best we have had - ever. So smokey and sweet. The wings were really nice too. They were both sweet and spicy and the blue cheese it was served with was so tasty. We were so very pleased with all of the meats to be honest. The sides were good overall, some lacked some seasoning though. The mac and cheese was great but needed salt. The only one we probably would not get again would be the coleslaw. And I normally love coleslaw. This one lacked flavor so it just tasted like wet cabbage. The corn pudding was nice - I loved the jalapeño in it (not spicy at all though). Absolutely get some of the texas toast. It came with the Texas Holy Trinity and it was so so good. The sweet potatoes would have been amazing with a topping to provide some texture, but the taste was perfect just as it was. If you like potato salad this one will be no exception. The addition of bacon made it different. Hubby loved it. We will totally be back. There is so much on the menu we want to try. There is also a full bar so it would be a great place to go eat at the restaurant. read more

Smoke jack has great customer service and they have really good drinks. The only thing wrong about this place is they give way to much food

Everything is so good here! We had a large group for dinner and we all just about tried everything. The kids even enjoyed their burgers and chicken fingers. This is my third time here and it was as good as I remembered it. I'm not going to give you a long write up because you can't go wrong with anything, so here are the highlights. Must try: Fired dill pickle appetizer Smoked chicken wings A side of burnt ends - get this as an appetizer. It isn't on the menu, you just have to ask.

I tried Smokejack BBQ one day when derping around in Alpharetta. There's a ton of pretty good looking spots in Downtown Alpharetta. I'm happy to report that Smokejack is a great spot. I ordered the Flippin' Good platter under the Pig Out section, because I'll never fully get rid of the inner fatty that has propelled me to the great heights which I've reached in my life. Flippin' Good platter comes with 1/2 lb burnt ends or brisket and 1/2 rack of ribs, two sides, and Texas toast. Went with mac n cheese and fries for my sides. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, and everything was truly amazing. Too many barbecue places become overly reliant on sauce, and they don't give enough attention to the meat. At Smokejack, I was able to taste the incredible flavor of the meats. Sides were high quality and also delicious. It's always a risk to get low quality mac n cheese [which I know some people some reason prefer], but Smokejack fortunately serves the baked goodness with a nice crust on top. A few imperfections certainly exist. They have Texas Pete rather than the vastly superior Tabasco. There's a downright silly printout of "suggested additional tip" at the bottom of your receipt. I tipped 20% and found it cheesy. I can't imagine what the weirdly passionate anti-tip crowd must think of it. The imperfections don't take away from the fact that Smokejack BBQ is the best barbecue I've had in Metro Atlanta, and that includes Fox Bros. read more

The food was great, we got the loaded fries and can't go wrong with them as an appetizer. The service was prompt and sitting outside was delightful. read more

Local bbq favorite. Sides are really good - can't go wrong with the greens, beans or cole slaw. Brisket and ribs are tender and juicy. Banana pudding has a decent cookie to pudding ratio. Try the blueberry moonshine lemonade frozen -- hits the spot on a hot day! Our waiter, Chris, with the baritone voice, checked in multiple times, to make sure we had everything we needed. read more

Alli Hill at Best Things Georgia ranks this 3/10 BBQ restaurants in the state, so I decided to make a dinnertime stop here en route from Nashville to Atlanta. Alpharetta is charming, and full of popular restaurants, so parking was predictably nightmarish (there is a public ramp, but I never saw a sign to this effect). But it's worth the effort. The restaurant is, in keeping with its setting near the town center, upscale, and the service was excellent (thanks, John). I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, which came lightly sauced, a side of corn pudding, a slice of homemade key lime pie, and a refillable soda (Coke products). The bill came to $20.42 plus tip. All three items were top-notch; indeed, on a return visit I would ask for the sauce on the side because it only serves to conceal the otherwise smoky flavor of the meat. So, very good 'cue in an attractive setting. Alpharetta is well worth a visit. read more

Meh. Their Mac & cheese is amazing! Beans are even better. Their ribs, not so much. They're not worth the price. You'd be better getting your own ribs and doing them at home. Not good. Sooo much fat. Buy a grill/smoker and you can beat Smoke Jack on their meat. Making good meat is worth the price. Smoke Jack is not. Will give credit where it's due, their sides outshine their entrees. read more

Finally tried Smokejack for dinner. Best meal of the night was brisket sandwich (1/2 lean 1/2 fatty) with spicy bbq sauce on texas toast & "jacked up" - meaning added pickled onions, jalapeños & cheese. Absolutely fabulous! Enjoyed the greens as a side & loved the habanero vinegar that was offered to go with them. I love a place that knows spicy vinegar is a must on greens! Pulled chicken was good. Burnt ends had a nice smoky flavor, but not my favorite. Pulled pork nachos were yummy. We were too full for dessert. Spicy sauce & the mustard sauce were both excellent. Basic sauce was just ok. Great service. Will definitely be back. read more

Stopped by Smokejack BBQ today for lunch. It was my first time here & I was not disappointed! Was seated quickly, as they have plenty of space in the restaurant, and the server greeted my party almost immediately. My table ordered the brisket sandwich, Pulled Pork Sandwich, collard greens, Mac & cheese, fries, and banana pudding. Everything was delicious! Customer service was outstanding as well. I'm sure I'll be back again sooner than later. Definitely recommend if you're craving BBQ, and don't skip on the dessert. Some of the best banana pudding I've had in a while. read more

We were greeted right away and seated upon arrival for Saturday lunch! Our waitress gave us a great run down of the menu and even provided us with a sample of the Mac and cheese! We ordered the Mojo wings for an appetizer and they had a great flavor! Smokey and crispy with an excellent sauce! We ordered a 1/2 slab of the Memphis ribs along with a sampler bbq plate. Everything was delicious! The Memphis rub was just the right amount of seasoning without being overpowering. Spacious dining with patio option! We will definitely return to and recommend this restaurant in the future. read more

Found this spot in a foodie group I am in. Blackberry moonshine on the rocks - My first question is always "Whats the sweetest drink on the menu" The waitress said this was one of the sweetest drinks on the cocktail list. I was skeptical because of the moonshine but this drink was actually really good. It does give sneak up on you vibes. Flippin good - Memphis ribs and the brisket (fatty) with fries and cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was a bit spicy. The ribs and brisket were good. I would definitely come back if I was in the area. I was expecting more in regards to service based on Yelp reviews. I think the service got better towards the end. read more

Their wings are great but I just spent $30 on brisket that was 95% fat. I've never seen anything like it. They should be ashamed for even putting in a package. Never again. I wouldn't even give that to my dogs. read more

I can't go down south and not get BBQ. This place was recommended by my local office mates and it was fantastic. I had marbled brisket, burnt ends with Cole slaw and corn pudding. Everyone in our group enjoyed all the food. Very reasonably priced and service was perfect. read more

Honestly I was pretty shocked at how awesome this was. I guess my previous experience told me if a place has a very nice inside and seems like a somewhat upper end place, the BBQ will be just ok. It's those hole in the wall, road side stands, and places in the middle of nowhere that serve the good BBQ. One trip here any my mind was changed from all of that. I got the triple B Burger. It had a certified angus beef patty, smoked brisket, bacon, and served with horseradish mayo and spicy BBQ sauce. Man it was the most perfect burger and the best and most flavorful bite. What was really impressive was how each individual component was so incredible. Brisket was so tender and juicy. The patty was cooked perfectly and was incredibly flavorful. I have to know where they got the bacon from. It was thick, was cooked perfectly, had incredible flavor, and was just perfect balance of meat and fat. Combine all of that with two wonderful sauces and a perfect bun and this was one of the best burgers in town. A great steal at just $14 for all of that. My partner got some burnt ends and I got to try one. It was enough for me to say you cannot go wrong with anything you order here. They obviously do a great job and hit near perfection on their items. I really want to come back. They have daily specials and a wonderful drink menu that includes whiskey flights. The service was excellent and the restaurant looks great. There isn't anything more you could ask for if you are seeking some great BBQ. read more

This place looks much fancier on the outside but when you enter, it is a down home relaxed atmosphere with some of the most friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient bartender and waitstaff you're bound to encounter. The menu has all sorts of flexible options and lots to choose from, especially from a Gluten Free perspective. I went with the Combo #2 and found it delicious. Their bourbon selection is excellent. If you're in the area you'll be hard pressed to walk by the place because it smells so good. read more

Smokejack is delicious Southern BBQ. I called to place a to-go order but orders are now placed online so I proceeded with my order and the process was easy. I was pleasantly greeted by the hostess and directed to the "To-go station" upon arrival. I appreciated their level of organization and efficiency. My order was ready on time and it was absolutely delicious. This is some of the best bbq I've ever had. The pulled pork sandwich was amazing and the mac and cheese was rich and creamy. Delicious flavors and the Carolina bbq sauce was very tangy---I would probably go for a different sauce next time. Love Smokejack. read more

Um...YUMMMMY this is the first American bbq place I have been to where I haven't had to smother the food in the sauce! Soooo good you guys have to try. If you're feeling mellow try the corn pudding. Its soft, warm, texture really fills you up. -In my photo-******** "The Jack" includes 3-4 sides(i don't remember how many because we got extra through an error) Half a rack Pulled pork Burnt ends Chicken Texas toast Pickles. The sides Potato salad (very meh) 25th Mac and cheesieness) Mashed sweet potato (YUM) corn pudding(a delightful dish) My friend recommended did the burnt ends to me Which is basically overdone brisket. But hear me out......its still good! The only thing I didn't like was how far the bathroom is.....it was across and around the other end of the restaurant next to the kitchens :/ I'll definitely come back here. read more

I've never had a bad meal at SJ BBQ. Tonight carried on that tradition with my dinner of savory burnt ends, mac and cheese and collard greens. Stephanie, our wonderful server, took excellent care of us. We enjoyed some pimento cheese on pita bread for an appetizer and my beautiful wife shared some of her corn casserole and mashed sweet potatoes which were on point. Southern comfort food that satisfies the soul and fills the belly. read more

Ordered the brisket plate and the loaded brisket potatoes. The brisket potatoes were great and would definitely order again! The brisket is superb. Smoked to perfection. We ordered it half marbled, half lean. My only complaint were the sides. They weren't seasoned enough even though the green beans were very fresh. Overall I would definitely come back. read more

I was torn between a 4 and a 5. It's not the best BBQ in the city, but it's up there. It's sneaky good. I'll be honest, the first two times I went I was like...meh. But the more I try other BBQ in town, and compare to SmokeJack, this place keeps coming up near the top. Meat for meat...it's solid. And they do chicken with Alabama white sauce really well! Located in downtown Alpharetta, parking as always can be...well...challenging. That said, get there at 11:30a to beat the crowds and you are good to go. The spot is typical BBQ casual ambiance. Casual with wooden tables and chairs. You get the point. Service is friendly and prices are on par with everything else nowadays. Expect to spend $15+ for a solid lunch. I recommend the chicken with white sauce (bone-in or chopped on a bun). Sides are all very good. I also like their smoked sausage. It isn't my favorite sausage of all time, but it's very good. I'm a big fan of downtown Alpharetta even though I live in Brookhaven. SmokeJack is probably my number 1 spot for a lunch meetup when in the area, and friends are always pleased with the choice. Definitely worth going if you are in the area. Solid solid solid! read more

This place never disappoints time after time after time!! I highly recommend Smokejack BBQ for lunch and/or dinner. My husband and I reside in Alpharetta about five minutes from Smokejack. (in a car) Smokejack is located in downtown Alpharetta (if you're familiar with the area). The first time I had SmokeJack was probably a year after they opened and we have been coming here ever since. I don't know of too many BBQ places in Alpharetta. I always order "from the smoker" either the beef brisket, marbled, or burnt ends with collard greens, baked beans, or mac & cheese and whichever meat I don't choose I always get a side portion of. For me it's always enough for me to take some home and enjoy later on not so much as a meal, but maybe a snack. The meat is always tender and juicy, which is why I always get them both when I sit down in the restaurant (which I highly recommend). The last time we did eat here (about two weeks ago) my husband ordered from the "Mojo combos" #3 with the burnt ends, and his ribs were a little dry this time around. We love the spicy BBQ sauce (they do not keep that on the table so you have to ask for it). Even our 7 year old son (mister picky pants) loves eating here. He almost always opts for the chicken tenders and fries but will always want to eat off our plate. The customer service is superb, and the food turnaround time is even better. You wait an average 15 minutes or less for your food to come out. All of the servers are friendly and what's even better is that if you choose not to sit down inside the restaurant, you can actually order from their to go window . Which also doubles as a drinking window (for us adults). Not to mention the drinks are deeeelish! There is not much more that I could say about this place at this point. You just need to experience for yourself; because I truly love eating here and it is highly recommended by me, my husband & Mr. Picky pants. read more

Yum We went around 11 on a Monday afternoon. I think they had just opened. It was nice enough to sit on the patio or outside but our family of six decided to go inside in order to make sure our 4 year old didn't run away. The pork sammich was good. I love the cucumber salad - perfectly tangy. The Mac n cheese was gourmet - my 4 year old couldn't eat a whole bowl (kids Mac n cheese). My in-laws got the vegetable plate - beans, Brunswick stew, broccoli slaw (special), and Mac n cheese. They seemed to enjoy The food is filling that's for sure and quite good. Service was excellent. Everything was super clean. read more

Updating my review here as I recently booked Jack's Attic for an adult birthday party. The process was seamless and they were good about allowing you in to check out the facility for your needs. I emailed and most of the communication before booking was through email. I also stopped by and talked to someone and toured the space. The rest was done online including paying a deposit to reserve the space. I was also allowed to come test the audio equipment, which includes a TV/DVD and cable so we could watch the game during my event. You get the room for 4 hours. Most of my guests did not know Jack's Attic existed, but it is upstairs in the back of the restaurant. It is completely cut off from the rest of the restaurant and pretty soundproof. There are rounds tables and a dedicated bar, which was probably the best part. You can rent linens from them are allowed in 90 minutes prior to the event to set up. The food is excellent of course and there is variety in packages and options to choose from. There is a cake cutting fee that is waived if you buy one of their desserts. The staff was awesome the night of the event, and we ran over a little bit after closing, and it was no big deal. I highly recommend for a private sit down event! read more

Smokejack has been on my mind for quite a while, ever since my child brought some leftovers from here and I thought the turkey and mac and cheese were pretty good. So one night after hitting up the Avalon, we decided to swing by for a meal. The ambiance has kind of a country-type feel to it. It surprised me being in downtown chic Alpharetta. My boyfriend ordered the beef brisket sandwich, and I ordered the chicken sandwich. I am all about the condiments, and I had difficulty finding one that really complimented the sandwich. The chicken was good, smoked flavor. My bf actually ate his bread! I was shocked. He always tries to avoid most carbs, especially bread but he chowed down that Texas toast. I didn't even finish my sandwich, maybe half of it. We both ordered mashed sweet potatoes which were decent. I loved the little containers they came in. I guess I was expecting better, but maybe it's what I got, and then again, the sauces just didn't taste great to me which is everything. He loved the brisket though...so that was a win. I love the quaint area here, but next time, I'll probably check out somewhere different. read more

If you want good BBQ that won't let you down, give Smokejack BBQ a try. Literally everything I put into my mouth was extremely satisfying. 10/10 flavor and cooked to perfection were my date's baby back ribs and burnt ends. Everything I ordered was delicious, pulled pork, collard greens, and baked beans. I tried my date's brunswick stew and my only complaint is that it could be better with a kick to it. Luckily they provide hot sauce on the table and that, with a dash of pepper, did the trick. The restaurant was family friendly. We went on a Friday night and it was busy. They said it would be a 30 minute wait, and they texted us about 15 minutes later and said our table was ready. The noise there was average to loud. I am a little hard of hearing so I had to lean over a lot to hear my date who was sitting right next to me. We sat in the main area, but they had seating in the back that might be a quieter area if you ask to be seated there. I'm hard to please when it comes to BBQ. Do yourself a favor and give this spot a try! read more

Went to get my car washed today and I was I was walking towards my usual lunch spot I noticed it was closed so I decided to give smoked jack BBQ shot. I walked by this establishment several times and noticed that it was very neat. Very clean not exactly what I would consider to be your typical barbecue joint, but I said hey why not . My first issue was with the menu, it's a breitl wall menu, but the description of some of the choices left me scratching my head. BBQ menu should be straightforward if the foods good, there's no need to be cute! I ended up ordering the brisket sandwich with cowboy beans as a side. I was offered the choice of lean fatty or combination of the two for my sandwich. I chose Lee, I really don't like fatty brisket when I cook my light trim it very close because I like a nice lean cut. Oh, what I received was a sandwich made of two pieces of Texas toast with some of the fattest brisket I've ever seen in fact look at the pictures. The sandwich was mostly fat. The cowboy beans tasted like basically a pinto beans too. It had a nice flavor to it, but it was not very well season . The best part of the meal was the Texas toast and the three pickle slices that they added as garnish. Other than that I was definitely not impressed! This is not a place at this point in time that I will choose to return to! If you're looking for a great barbecue, I would say find another spot! read more

Another great find in Downtown Alpharetta! Our server was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and had great suggestions. We ordered the fried pickles...some of the best I've ever had so if you're thinking of getting them...that's a yes! The fields of green salad was also surprisingly fresh and delicious. We split a large salad and the dressing it comes with is great! All in all, the brisket, jalapeño sausage (very spicy), pulled pork, baked beans, and Mac n Cheese were all great. Get a bunch of different stuff and share so you can partake in all the goodness. read more

Simply put this BBQ joint has the very best burnt ends I have ever had.
