Smokin’ Jacks Rib Shack: Bloomington

Smokin’ Jacks is located at 505 West 17th Street in Bloomington, Indiana. My nephew-in-law, Frank Guthrie brought me a pork sandwich from Smokin’ Jacks while I was at the Bloomington North track regional a few years back. After one bite, I had to go there myself.

The ribs are delicious and the side dishes add character as well. Mac & cheese, greens and the cornbread with butter, as Sophie says, “It’s like cake.”

When we went to bring Sophie home fro Indiana University, we had a cozy booth across from the warm fireplace.

The brisket is also worthy of your attention as well as the brownie and fruit cobbler.
