“ Sami has excellent customer service & Deon made my meal to perfection. This is my second visit and I ordered the Smokey Bird both times & I can’t get the taste off my tastebuds ..... it was that good! ”
“ No kidding, the very best BBQ I and my wife have ever, ever had! Sami suggested The Hog 1860 polled pork sandwich with all the fixings! It was a perfect mess, with all the different flavors combining to create a delicious meal. My wife had the Texan brisket and again an excellent choice recommended by Sami. If you are near the 3rd Street Market Hall in downtown Milwaukee you must indulge yourself! Thanks again Sami!! ”
“ The fries were cooked perfectly. The barbecue beans are outstanding. The smoked chicken pulled pork and brisket is phenomenal. And did I mention the garlic toast? The garlic toast on Texas toast grilled to perfection this place is outstanding with a great atmosphere ”
“ If you're a fan of great BBQ, Smokin' Jack's on 3rd Street in Milwaukee is an absolute must-visit! I ordered the two meat combo with brisket and chicken, and both were out of this world. The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender, and packed with flavor. The chicken had a great char on the outside while staying juicy and full of smoky goodness. The sides were on point too, especially the cornbread! Service was friendly, and the atmosphere had a laid-back vibe that made for a great dining experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-notch BBQ in Milwaukee! ”
“ Delicious brisket and pork. Sides I had were potato salad and beans. You could tell they added their own unique ingredients. Highly recommend giving them a try. ”
“ I'm from Texas and love trying out BBQ in different areas. I saw this place in the Market and had to give it a go. IT'S SO FREAKING GOOD!!! Like if I hadn't just flown 4.5 hours I would think I was eating the cornbread my Mamaw would make in the iron skillet. The sauce is solid and the blueberry lemonade is refreshing! Sami and Jack are super friendly and provide excellent service! You need to eat here! ”
“ The guys working we're super informative and let us try the sauces. They really helped us with our decision making. But I can tell from the smell already that it was about to be a hit! We ordered the combo with pulled pork and brisket and it was AMAZING!! Smoking, flavorful, and juicy! The BBQ on the side was also a huge plus! The barbecue rice was super delicious too and a nice little bonus. The cornbread was delicious and sweet, and the pulled pork sandwiches also delicious! I really recommend this place inside of The Avenue! ”
“ Made a quick stop while exploring the city of Milwaukee to explore new places and bites to eat. Stumbled on Smokin’ Jacks BBQ spot hidden in the corner of the MKE 3rd Street Market food Hall. Smokin’ Jacks offered a variety of sandwiches and meat combos to try. I had the trio (brisket, chicken, ribs tips), with Baked Beans and Potatoes Salad. While the portion size appeared to be smaller than anticipated, the meat flavoring offered pure smoked BBQ sensation. I had it with the Alabama sauce and Texan BBQ sauce. Both adding different tastes flavors. ”
