Food enthusiasts, rejoice! This week, Alpharetta invites you to indulge in a culinary extravaganza featuring Texas-inspired brisket, authentic Tel Aviv falafels, Key Lime Pie, and more—all without leaving the Atlanta area.
“There is a little bit of every kind of cuisine that you could be searching for,” Audra Winborne from the Alpharetta CVB told WSBTV.com’s Nelson Hicks. “Awesome Alpharetta really is awesome when it comes to a wide variety of flavors, inspirations, (and) culinary backgrounds.”
Diners are invited to explore offerings from 45 participating restaurants throughout the week. Among the options is Smokejack BBQ, a downtown Alpharetta staple known for its mouthwatering briskets, pulled pork, sides and more.

“We are known for our brisket,” owner David Filipowicz said. “When we opened up, we focused a lot on pulled pork being in the South and being in Georgia. And about 10 years ago, (executive chef) Johnny (Umberger) and I started traveling to Texas and really diving into Texas-style, salt and pepper, hickory-smoked, post-oak brisket. And that’s where we really started to develop that.”
Established in 2004, Smokejack BBQ has witnessed the evolution of Alpharetta’s culinary landscape. Once a modest hub with just a handful of eateries and retail outlets, Alpharetta—dubbed Awesome Alpharetta—has flourished into a bustling destination filled with diverse dining options and vibrant retail experiences.
The concept of Restaurant Week offers diners a chance to explore new restaurants or sample new options at their favorite diners with pre-fixe dining options.
Among the highlights of Alpharetta’s dining scene is Rina in Avalon, a restaurant named to honor owner Tal Baum’s grandmother. Drawing inspiration from her grandmother’s recipes, Rina’s menu boasts tempting offerings such as amba chicken infused with Georgia peaches, hummus, falafel salad and Turkish coffee shakes.

“We’re trying to transport you to the streets of Tel Aviv and are going to have these fun, energetic, urban atmosphere,” Tal Baum said. “We have amazing frozen drinks, beach-themed cocktails and the whole idea behind Rina is to transport you to the beach and just take you on a journey with us.”
