About Jacks Smokehouse
Jack's Smokehouse anchors Puerto Banús as a neighbourhood fixture where American smokehouse classics—from Tomahawk steaks to mac and cheese that reviewers call "the best we have ever eaten"—arrive in generous portions at €20–30. The kitchen delivers consistent quality across breakfast, lunch, and dinner service, with standout cocktails and a curated beer and wine selection that elevates the informal, on-trend atmosphere. Accessibility throughout (wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, seating) and a full children's menu make it equally welcoming to families, groups, and solo diners. Staff—particularly noted for warmth and attentiveness—turn what could be a tourist trap into a place regulars return to repeatedly. The marina location, clean dining room, and late-night service round out a venue that punches above its casual positioning.
Jacks Smokehouse is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.
