We went to PoK-e-Jo's for a food tasting for our upcoming wedding. The food and service were amazing! We worked with Mona, her customer service was incredible! Extremely professional, communication was great, and she was very pleasant to work with both via email and in person! We tried a bunch of stuff, like chips, salsa, guacamole, queso, pineapple salsa, and black bean salsa. All of it was really good. We also had the grilled cheese (both the basic and the brisket version), which were both great. For the meats, we had chicken, brisket, ribs, sausage, and turkey. My favorites were the ribs, brisket, and sausage. We also tried all the sides! The best were the potato salad and mac and cheese. I highly recommend this place!

Food was great, staff were super nice. Atmosphere a little rustic for my tastes, but hey, it's a BBQ joint. Price felt a bit high ($30+ with tip for lunch, included a beer) but all BBQ is high now. Would definitely recommend.

Today's lunch spot: PoK-e-Jo's! I usually get the two meat plate with brisket that comes with two sides and a Texas toast; this time, I selected pork ribs as my 2nd meat, green beans casserole and broccoli with cheese. As usual, the meat was tender and delicious, the staff were helpful and friendly. While dining, I also got the chance to compare the interior decoration of this location with other PoK-e-Jo's... I got to admit the ceiling was definitely very Texan. 😉 A great place to dine with a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended. 👍🏼

Delicious pork ribs, the best smoked chicken i ever had that cooked to perfection, juicy snd tender alike. Well kept no nonsense ambience located in a prime location. Courteous staff, self service, excellent food. This was my second time here and will visit again. Dont miss their pickled cucumber.!

Very tasty BBQ and all the side dishes are very good as well. The Brisket, Chicken, Turkey and pulled pork was delicious. Highly recommended. We will be going back for sure.

Pok-e-Jo's has excellent BBQ meats. Went for lunch. I had a brisket sandwich. loved it. Tastey, and smoked perfectly Sauce was perfect as well. The sandwhich was $12. 5 dollars more gives you a combo with a large fountain drink and a small container of a side. price of the combo clearly is the profit maker. There are no plates. served on metal tray with a paper placed on it ... my friend got pulled pork plate (no bun) and the pork was just put on the paper. so it can be a little jarring if you are not prepared for it. sides are put in small cardboard boats. So it feels very "take out" even if eating in. The atmosphere is punchy. It feels very "Texas". music and decor immersed in the southern BBQ feel. I would return to try other dishes. Parking is a plaza parking lot. Handicap accessible. there is a handicap parking g spot right outside the restaurant.

Really pretty good BBQ. All the meats and a nice selection of sides. And fresh Texas Toast instead of plain old bread is wonderful. There's a small fixings bar with 2 kinds of onions, 2 kinds of pickles, and jalapenos. The banana pudding kind of looks like gravy but was quite tasty. They also have peach cobbler.

Great place to have BBQ. Great for grabbing lunch. Their ribs & chicken were very good. We got 2 kids meal and my kids devour it. The beans lacked flavor, but by then all the sides we got were good. Great customer service. I would definitely go back to eat there.

Brisket was dry, the side of tomatoes & cucumbers were just that. No salt or vinegar, tiny portion. Peach cobbler was mostly crust, very little peach, LOTS of cinnamon. The “Cherry pie” was a big piece of cake, with a thin topping of gelatin like cherry. Terrible.

Whenever I’m in Central Texas, I stop for some barbecue. I have never had this place before so I wanted to give it a try. It is not bad barbecue but it’s not thebest. If you’re looking for a quick middle of the road type barbecue spot you found a place. But if you’re looking for an amazing pitmaster, true Texas barbecue smokehouse, They miss the mark. The people were great and very pleasant and respectful. maybe it was a bad day or not. But one must remember that barbecue must be fresh and not have a leftover taste to it.

The brisket was tender and the portion size was good, but I found everything I ate -- brisket, green beans, and mac and cheese -- bland. Also, the sweet tea was watered down. I estimate that I paid maybe 10% less here than I would have paid at a non-chain bbq place in the area for the food I got, but the value was A LOT lower. My experience was ok, but I'd rather pay a tiny bit more for much better food.

This restaurants kitchen is dirty as hell. A sign of lazy management and working staff. Looking at the way they proudly have stains on the walls tells me a lot about the food quality and it was just as bad.
