“Shabby-chic eatery highlighting contemporary Southern cuisine tweaked to reflect comfort classics.”

“Located in the heart of Alpharetta’s historic downtown in a beautiful, inviting 180-year-old property, Smokejack first opened its doors in 2004 and serves upscale Southern-style comfort food and barbecued-to-perfection meat inspired by owner Dave Filipowicz’s travels around the USA’s barbecue hotspots. Smokejack’s dining room, a mix of restored brickwork, exposed beams and modern design, is a stylish but welcoming space in which to try executive chef Johnny Umberger’s delicious barbecue like pulled pork shoulder, burnt ends with Kansas City BBQ sauce and baby back ribs alongside classic Southern small plates like chicken and sausage gumbo or fried green tomatoes with Creole mayo.”

“Best Thai restaurant in Alpharetta/John's Creek area and in Top 5 in Atlanta. Upscale Thai cuisine, service and ambiance. It's a secret to some, but for those who love Thai cuisine, it is a must try if you are visiting the area! Perfect choice for special occasions.”

“Can walk from house; great coffee's, great sandwiches, patio & indoor seating.”

“Two sections of the mountain for hiking, only 20 minutes away! 3-6 mile hikes. There is a visitor's/educational center at the Spot Rd entrance.”
