This was the best bbq we had in austin! The brisket was so moist and tasty! Potato salad was perfect and the fried okra was great! We also got the regular sausage which was so tasty and their limited time burnt ends were awesome
Food was good, but not exceptional. However, it’s the people here that make this place so good. From the moment I stepped in, all the staff was super friendly and doing way beyond a typical BBQ spot. They offered me a sample of all cuts and free drinks!
They are so nice! If the BBQ was better, this would have been one of my favourite spots.
Just passing through on the highway, saw the BBQ sign and interesting name.
so we stopped in.
Wow, what a nice surprise find.
Delicious food, Peach habanero BBQ sauce 😋
I am a fan for life.
I can't wait to find myself back in this area to try it again.
Pok-E-Jo's has been, and still is, my go-to spot for BBQ when I'm at the office. It's definitely great to be back to the restaurant after all these months of working from home. For this visit, I ordered 2-meat combo with brisket and pork ribs. The brisket is absolutely delicious (Soft and tender) and their pork ribs are also fabulous with meats falling off the bone easily. In addition, the spicy BBQ sauce that offers also go nicely with the meats. Oh, and for the two sides, I went for potato salad and broccoli; very delicious and also go well with the brisket and ribs. Overall, a great place for BBQ.
I'm from Idaho, so whenever I am in Austin I try to eat BBQ. This was my first time to eat here. I told that to the guy at the counter and he gave my friend and I a great sample plate of 5 or 6 different meats.
We both chose the 2-meat plate. Comes with 2 sides. My friend got corn and baked beans. I chose corn and a drink, both with ribs and brisket. All excellent! Except, my friend said the beans were "meh".
I'll definitely go back the next time I am in Austin!
Hadn't been to Pok e Jo's in a minute! I was pleasantly surprised...
Ordered the two meat plate with brisket and pork ribs. Three pork ribs and while he was slicing I asked for burnt ends for the brisket. The ribs were tender and flavorful and the brisket was perfectly charred on the outside and moist & tender inside. I thought I was in BBQ heaven.
For sides I chose the delicious Jalapeno Cornbread casserole (for the first time) and the Broccoli Cheese (very cheesy and not overcooked).
The serving was so large I actually had to bring some home.
😋 More for a snack later
Walked in for lunch and we are always greeted by a Super Nice, Friendly, and Funny Young Man behind the counter where you order... Can't EVER go wrong with the MEAT STUFFED BAKED POTATO and a Side of you name it. Usually Mac & Cheese for me, then a Large Sweet Tea... Made and served right then and you sit where ever you want... Great Place with Friendly People... Its a regular place for us for lunch...
Pok-e-Jo's! Where have you been the past two years I've lived in ATX? This spot is a no frills, legit bbq joint. They're not featured on Eater or promoted by your favorite influencer, but man do they make incredible food.
What takes this Pok-e-Jo's over the top is the BEST hospitality I've ever experienced. I'm not joking. I mentioned in passing it's my first time here, and Dee (without hesitation) said "well you need samples." He let me try almost every item. I loved how passionate he was about the food and the care he gave me. Just wow!
On top of that, Robert, who was in charge of the sides was equally as pleasant. He insisted to give me a sample of their famous chocolate pudding–– I can see why it's famous. It was incredible!
Shout out to Dee and Robert. You two are amazing. Pok-e-Jos is now on my roster of places I frequent. What a GEM!
Really nice spot to get bbq.

Arrived at Pok-E-Jos for lunch at 12.10 on a Tues. ordered immediately - 2 meat plate (13 bucks) and sweet tea (2.50) - Demetrio measured out 1.28 lbs of moist brisket and pork ribs. For vegetables, i chose potato salad and beans - although there were several more to choose from, including some healthy looking stuff. The sweet tea was ok - not too sweet. I added a little salt to the flavorful beans - which had a nice spicy taste. The potato salad was excellent - yellow potato salad with added large sections of red potatos with skin and red onion chunks. The brisket was exceptional - very tender and thick - the ribs were awesome (my compadre declared they were the best he had ever eaten) - they were spicy and did not need sauce - i thoroughly enjoyed the bbq sauce - sweet, tangy, spicy - i also had a couple of pieces of wheat bread to go with it, although white grilled toast was also available. I rated this 5 stars because of the peerless flavor and taste. Honestly, i would prefer a little larger portion :-). But for taste - absolutely 5 stars
