Very beautiful place and clean. The staff is very friendly. I had the three meat platter chicken, brisket, and shorts ribs with side of Mac cheese, beans, and corn bread. It was outstanding and filling.

The food was excellent! Really good barbeque which totally hit the spot! Smokin’ Joe and his team have also created a very welcoming atmosphere. I had ordered from the take out location in Brown Deer and loved the food there. So I was happy to visit this new sit down location. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a great experience. The staff were awesome and really passionate about the food and the process. They were super welcoming and fun to talk to. The food was excellent. We got brisket, rib tips, pulled pork, beans, and mac & cheese. I love baked beans and these were some of the best I’ve had. Rib tips are unusual to see on a menu but I really recommend trying them. We also ordered banana pudding at the end and we loved it. They offer some desserts in a regular portion or a small portion which is a really great idea.

This was our first visit, we’re Mke Film members, so we are in the area on a regular basis.
Ted and his work partner worked well together, and they both were attentive. Interesting that neither of them knew the “guest” wifi password. Ted told me the password, and the other guy showed me the password, maybe I just got it wrong?

Generally the food was excellent, especially the fries, big thick cut, cooked perfectly. We loved the coleslaw. The mac n’cheese was good, maybe not great, and I thought a little overpriced, in all fairness it was a generous serving. I took the excess home.

My wife thought the brisket had too much fat in the slices, we shared the per pound meal. I’m not referring to the bark, but the inner slices. I might suggest a better quality cut, maybe “supreme cut”, and share the higher cost with customers. The taste was great!
We all, or most of us, might have too much around our waist, so a cut with less internal fat could be a good option.
Maybe Smokin’ Jack’s would consider touching base with Motor (@ Harley Davidson) or Double BB’s (in Greenfield) to learn where they get their meat! Those are two premier brisket purveyors in the area.

The market location has been my favorite but now I have a new favorite spot much closer to home. Visited right before their official opening and LOVED it!! The wings were amazing. My brisket and pork were delicious. Corn bread was perfect and great Mac and cheese. Current beer selection is just ok with some gems but it sounds like the have a great plan to carry more beers. Really nice to have a BBQ spot with sports on TVs and great ambience when so many are usuallyore counter. Can’t wait to come back!!!

We went here for the soft opening and had a great time. We tried the brisket, Mac and cheese, wings and fries. All of it was great but the buffalo wings were my favorite. They were almost a dry rub and not dripping with sauce but the smoke flavor came through and they were crispy from the flash frying.

Overall atmosphere was great with a large bar and lots of TVs to watch sports.

Will be back!

A co-worker and I visited this location Wednesday 03/04/26.

Co-worker ordered rib tips, brisket, potato salad, mac/cheese, cornbread, BBQ punch.
I ordered ribs, chicken thighs, french fries, mac/cheese, cornbread, glass of wine.
Co-workers plate came out with my french fries on her plate and her potato salad on my plate. It was fine for US because we were splitting everything, but I thought the error was worth noting for a guest who would not appreciate that.

4 stars for service because the server wasn’t well versed with the happy hour menu. Otherwise, she was super nice, took good care of us and had a nice balance between giving attention to everyone in the room.

4 stars for food because the first round of mac/cheese wasn’t great for either plate and the chicken thigh was kind of dry. The ribs/rib tips were really good & the potato salad was solid. Unexpectedly, the brisket, the french fries and the cornbread were the stars of the show! The brisket had that tendernism and we couldn’t stop eating the fries/cornbread. Try the BBQ punch!

Best part of the visit was the manager stopping by to ask us how everything was. After telling her that the mac/cheese was so-so and that the chicken could’ve been better, she brought out new product for us to try. They blew us away! The mac/cheese was creamy, cheesy, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The chicken thigh was tender, well cooked and had great flavor. After experiencing the products the way that they should be, I can confidently say that I would get any of the items that we ordered again. She definitely saved the day on that note.

Only other stain on my visit is the undisclosed $6 upcharge for ribs with the combo plate. The mac/cheese upcharge is displayed on the menu. Why isn’t this displayed or conveyed to the guest by the server? Nobody likes a surprise charge!

Overall, my co-worker & I definitely appreciated the solid BBQ, sides & attentive customer service. We will definitely visit the restaurant again!

I just got the Smokey chicken sandwich and potato salad and I’m usally pretty picky with food and bbq specifically but that was probably one of the best meals I had. Everyone on staff was phenomenal, price was more than reasonable, and I got to meet the owner jack who personally asked me how everything was. Would definitely recommend for a super good meal under 30$

I ordered for delivery from Smokin’ Jack’s on the Toast App(saved me $12 on extra fees compared to to the competition). I got the wings with the competition sauce, the smoked Mac n Cheese & a piece of cornbread. There was a small issue with my order & the restaurant reached out to me themselves & we got it resolved. That’s a first for me ever with a delivery order. I felt like a human & not a number, so I have to give the customer service a good review. I’ll have to drive up there & see the inside some time. The quality surpassed the price & the price wasn’t bad.

Wings: Perfect in my book. They were a good size & portion. They were of good quality. Perfectly meaty, not fatty or rubbery like some other wing places. The Competition Sauce was great. Kind of Jerk chicken like but not exactly. Best I can describe but the sauce was thick & perfectly crusted in the right places. I’m a big dude & it filled me up pretty good. I definitely felt satiated.

The Mac was good too. Nice portion. A good crusty top with a melty under belly. I saved half of it. I was full.

Cornbread: A good ending to a great Sunday lunch. I saw peach cobbler on the Ubber menu but not the Toast & that’s just a suggestion that I would throw my money at that also.
