Smokejack BBQ

I am disgusted and very sad that this location has closed. THAT SUCKS. Oh well, I’ll hit the other location…

What to expect: upscale barbecue. Menu has a lot of depth in terms of options: chicken, ribs, pulled pork, brisket.
Real salads, fresh vegetable and side starches.
Barbecue is good but not great.

Wonderful People and great wings! I love sitting in the bar area late at night, you always experience great service and food.

I got the fried pickles free with a Unilocal deal. This is good because they were not very impressive at all. They were very overfried and the dipping sauce just tasted like plain mayo.
The ribs were OK. They came off the bone easily and were basted with a perfectly acceptable KC style sauce. I asked for a side of Carolina style sauce and to my dismay, I can find better Carolina style sauce in Philadelphia.
The turkey was good. The charred tips were good. The mac n’ cheese and coleslaw were nothing to write home about. The fries were good.
If I had to return, I’d probably just get the turkey with a side of fries and veggies.

Super Clean, Super Friendly… Super Good! I could eat here almost every night of the week. Playground on the side, close to the Park… everything you could ask for and want.

I’ve tried all of their meats and many of their sides and I am sold on their good BBQ. Surprisingly, the only item I wasn’t thrilled with were the ribs. You can get them as just dry rub or with sauce. The ribs themselves were good, but the dry rub is a bit too salty. I’d recommend getting the ribs with just the sauce.
The chicken, burnt ends, brisket and pulled pork are great.

Stopped by for lunch with a friend. He had the «brisket chili». It was excellent, thick, rich, hearty, flavorful and man sized. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It was tender, juicy, flavorful and a good thick portion. I only had one bbq sauce, tomato base, and it was good but heavy on the corn syrup. Didn’t see the mustard sauce. The sauce is not on the table. The was nice, lots of room. One comment we both had was that the place lacks a homey bbq «joint» décor. But the price, quality and service rate 4 stars.

Friendly and tasty. Not your typical fatty, greasy, BBQ joint. Nice place if you’re single to have a drink at the bar and eat dinner.

This is a very nice casual BBQ restaurant. My personal favorite is the smoked turkey breast. Some of the best turkey you’ve ever tasted. Very good sides with my favorite being the collard greens. I have been known to order two of them as my sides. They have a friendly wait staff and a very clean environment. They are locating right in front of a ball field that has a playground for the kids after dinner. The price is a little high for the area and BBQ, but I’ll continue to go because it is just that good. Their take out is pretty quick too, so when I want to bring something home I just pop into the bar and place my order. They usually have it out in under 10 minutes. You can’t beat that!

Website said they had an event from 12 – 10 p.m. on May 28^th at both locations. Drove all the way from Suwanee at 12:30 and they are closed! 2^nd time this happened to us so we won’t be back.

Smokejack has a good atmosphere and the food is good, but they are way past due for a menu overhaul. My wife knows the value of variety and nice surprises — Smokejack could benefit from the same move with respect to their menu.
The atmosphere in the bar is better than the dining room.

Spent some time here with family a few days ago. We tried a little bit of everything. The pulled pork, ribs, brisket and chicken all had a fantastic real smoke flavor. The flavor of the meat alone with no sauce is simply amazing!!! They have a tomato based sauce that is good and a mustard based sauce that is definitely not my favorite on the table …
All in all I would say the meat, sides and service were amazing. They only lose one star because the sauces were ok not anything spectacular in my opinion.

Very good food… I like the burnt tips. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Clean restaurant and very prompt and friendly service. My only wish is they would serve dinners with garlic or cornbread or something. Beer is good and cold! Overall a good find!

This place has the best BBQ. I would highly recommend the burnt tips.

A+ to cleanliness. Wait staff was great. Food was very good. Prices were higher than expected. Dinner for 6 cost me over $ 100 and lunch for 2 was almost $ 30. I’ll go back if I have coupons.

This place is just ok.
Pros: super clean, friendly staff
Cons: food is just ok
My husband got ribs and I got the pulled pork sandwich. For sides, baked beans, collard greens, mashed sweet potatoes, and seasonal veggies. Nothing was awful, nothing was phenomenal. I would never bother to come back here (and it is the closest BBQ place to my house).

One word «Awesome». I love bbq and always traveling to Fox Brothers BBQ downtown ATL. Now that i found Smokejacks“s I am sooo happy because its really good bbq without that long drive. :)
The place is super clean.
The staff was super nice.
I got the ribs but my friends got the chicken which was huge! I am getting the chicken next time.
This place is on my top 5 restaurants in Cumming, GA

My wife and I came by here with our son a while back. We were hungry and decided that, while we were here to visit the bounce place, we would go ahead and try out Smokejack. We went inside and found the place spotless and empty. As I recall, they had an A on their health inspection report as well. I suspect the reason they were empty was the timing and location, and not the food, however, because when we were there, we both tried sampler plates, and both found them VERY tasty. I hadn’t thought I would like the burnt ends, but they turned out *REALLY* good. I wasn’t too keen on the baked beans (I tend to prefer my beans to be in a sauce more based upon molasses and brown sugar than tomatoes and onions).
Other than the baked beans, the sides were all very tasty. We even had a corn-​based dish that I initially didn’t think I would enjoy. It turned out really tasty, and I found that I loved it! Really tasty! I would recommend this spot to anyone who wanted good BBQ, and who is in the area. They weren’t as good as one of the other places near my house, but this was still really good.

Cleanest BBQ joint I have ever been to!
–Well…it was clean, very clean.
–Staff was upbeat and courteous
–Not a long wait
–Inside and outside dining
–Prices were good little more than normal, but it is more upscale BBQ place
–The meat had no fat, was smoked with great flavor
–For sauces you can get Carolina gold or KC style sauce, both were on the sweet side very good
–They had several sides all were good
–The stew did not have much flavor, it was ok, everything else was super, loved it
–This was some of the best BBQ I have had… and the cool thing was they weren’t bragging about how good it was! Thumbs up guys!

This is the second location for Smokejack. When I first moved to GA I lived within walking distance of the original one on Main St in Alpharetta. I was so excited when I found out a second location was opening up within 2 miles of my new house.
The food is outstanding. I have never had a bad meal here and I always bring out of town guests here and they love it too.
My favorites include: Blackened Catfish Tacos, Fried Dill Pickles, Habanero Wood Grilled Chicken Thighs, Burnt Ends, Brisket, Smoked Chicken, Hanger Steak, and the Cobb Salad.
The Cobb Salad is the best one in the area in my opinion. However, be warned — it is a HUGE salad. I always order half of the salad be immediately boxed up and not tossed with the dressing and then have it for lunch the next day. There is no way I can eat the full serving at one time. The price of the salad is around $ 12 but if you make it two meals like I do it is a reasonably priced entrée.
Unlike so many BBQ places Smokejack puts an emphasis on the quality of the ingredients and uses products not typically found in BBQ restaurants. I call this place «Upscale BBQ»
This new Smokejack location is in the Family Festival shopping center next to Midway Park on Post Road.
