    1/4 rack and 1/4 chicken combo with potato salad and Mac and cheese
    Rhett B.

    John Mellancamp must have been here because this BBQ joint literally has a pink house. I stopped by after I called to see if they have fresh-brewed sweet tea. They had some of the sweetest tea I've ever tasted in Indiana. Huge points from this Roll Tide Alabama fan! I walked up to the counter to order and looked for a combo plate with pork and ribs. The friendly man behind the counter said they only did a rib and chicken combo. Boo! I was disappointed about not having another kind of combo but I went ahead and ordered the rib and chicken combo. Also, you only get one side and each side is $2. The ribs were pretty good. They weren't massive but not small. The chicken was better in my opinion with its juciness and flavor. I picked potato salad and Mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was all right, not great, not bad. The potato salad was so much better with its red skin potatoes mashed with a mustard conglomeration. I would order the potato salad again. There are four sauces - original, sweet, hot, and jerk. The Jerk had the most flavor and had some heat to it. I would say like a 3 or 4 out if 10 with 10 being super hot. Hot had about the same level of heat. I thought the original and sweet was almost interchangeable. Thank goodness I was not charged for sauces as I was asked for one choice. The sweet tea was the best part for me as it is hard to find true sweet tea in Indiana. The sweet tea was perfect for a Southerner like me but most Midwesterners might think it is too sweet. The chicken, ribs, potato salad and sauces were good. I wish there was a combo that included pork and brisket and entrees came with 2 sides instead of 1.

    Has not been here in a while so we decided to stop in for an early dinner. The smell was amazing, the decor was not my style but super fun for a bbq place! I got the brisket sandwich. The food came out fast and hot. The brisket was sliced and a large stack on an open faced sandwich. The top of the brisket had the sauce, once I flipped that over, it was not as dry. Definitely had to add a lot of sauce as it was a bit dry. Great flavor, just which it wasn't so dry. The sides were great!

    We were informed of anything we asked about on the menu, all of the staff in the front of the house were helpful and very nice. We were so surprised by the tenderness of the ribs, the jerk chicken wings were awesome; good flavor. The greens tasted canned, not a bad thing, I grew up on the "glory greens", they were hot! The macaroni was creamy and satisfying. No complaints whatsoever, my husband and I hadn't been out alone in a while and this made our date night even better. Before we finished our first rib, we both said we would definitely be back again. So good!!! Prices are very reasonable as well. I wish I lived closer to use their catering services! Thank you Smokin Jacks!

    Their cornbread is sweet!! I liked it. Pulled chicken sandwich was almost dry but the jerk bbq was really good and made it non dry. Wasn't too spicy nor sweet, just in middle (little spicy side). Greens were amazing.

    Mold on the bottom of the bun... employees walking around in pajama bottoms... frozen burger patties. Used to be good, no longer.

    Online ordering was very simple. Food is always good! Especially the corn cake. Just like Thanksgiving at home.

    Pretty impressed! Decided to come here for Saturday lunch with my family and made a reservation…read moreonline at the last minute, but we would have been able to get in without. Without the patio open though, I can see it filling up easily. The atmosphere is fun (board games!) and bright but somewhat industrial with the distillery next door. The staff was friendly and very enthusiastic but just a little overbearing for me. The samples they brought around of two of their spirits (a gin and amaro) were very good and much appreciated. As appealing as the cocktails sounded, I didn't feel like drinking, so I got the Last Call mocktail. I couldn't pick up much 5 spice, but it was still a pleasant and refreshing light drink. I had a sip of my parents' old fashioned and Smokin' in the Girls' Room, and those were both really good - I was really into the lapsang souchong tea-infused rum in the Smokin' in the Girls' Room and would've ordered it for myself if I'd been drinking. To eat, I had a mushroom melt (the veganized version with vegan cheese) with the OMG fries. I really liked the sandwich; I loved the giardiniera and the jus, and you usually can't get that sort of thing in a vegetarian or vegan sandwich, so I was really happy to have it here and thought it was done well. The OMG fries were also really good. I don't like fries if they're plain, but these were heavily seasoned with a delicious spice blend. The vegan version of the fries omits the truffle aioli that they normally come with, but they were plenty flavorful with just ketchup. We shared a Thai tea creme brulee for dessert. I am crazy about Thai tea so I expected to like this, and it was everything I hoped for. The tea flavour was nice and strong, and the tapioca pearls were a nice little enhancement. They do an auto-gratuity of 20% no matter the party size, which I'm not completely opposed to, but I think if you're doing that you at least need to have a note on the menu rather than have the waiter tell you as they're giving you the bill, or better (in my opinion) to just raise the prices by 20% and sell yourself as a no-tipping restaurant. But it wasn't a huge deal in this situation; our waitress was good and we would've left a good tip anyway.
