Not being the kind of girl to send in a review, I was reminded by my boyfriend that if you are impressed with a restaurant you should tell someone about it, because that is what restaurants depend on. Growing up in Alpharetta I have seen the building that SmokeJack is located in, be three restaurants before. Maybe that is why it took SmokeJack being there for two years for me to finally try it out. When we entered I could not believe how much the 150 year old building had been transformed into a blend of history with the original brick walls and modern art. My first thought was that we were going to have to skip the movies we had planned after dinner because we were on a budget that night. But once we sat down and looked at the menu, I noticed that the prices were affordable! Of course they have these huge combo dishs the size of a small animal for around $25! But for $24.38 Steve had a huge pork sandwich and a beer and I had the cobb salad and diet coke. The server was friendly and was smiling the whole time. A manager stopped by the table to see how everything was. We told him how suprised we were with the variety of dishes and prices on the menu. He explained that ""the owner is very focused on family dinning in Alpharetta, and that every family does not have the same budget"". It was refreshing to discover a restaurant focused so much on the food being of value then a piece of art.
Pros: Family Owned
Cons: Not enough restaurants like Smokejack
