In Short – Red-checkered tablecloths, piped-in country music, and wooden booths--can't get much more Texas than that. This friendly chain keeps the hungry lunch crowd coming back time and again. Pok-e-Jo's serves up great smoky-flavored barbecue: The chicken, either half or a quarter, is crispy on the outside and simply amazing with the special Pok-e-Jo's hot sauce. Best of all, the lunch special--your choice of meat with two sides--is available for dinner as well.

Excellent BBQ at Great Price

by HWG123 at Citysearch

This place has good food at good price, and good daily specials. I have been eating there since they opened at their original site (MOPAC made them move) and one thing you can say is that food is always good. The have expanded menu on sides to offer more healthy items than original. I think they have best sausage in town - their own creation. Brisket is always good. Turkey can be chosen for those who don't eat beef, or pork ribs too - both well worth trying. Chopped beef just about can't be beat! Two kinds of sauce - Original and Spicy - which gives you a choice. And you can always get more of each kind from a big pot in the corner to allow you to try each kind. All in All, a great place to eat with fast service through the line and pick a table either inside or out. Limited seating but be advised that there are more locations in Austin and Round Rock which have equally good food and drink service. Be sure and ask for their FREEquent Dinner Card - buy a few meals and get a free one!

  • Pros: Quality, Consistency, Best Sauce in Town, Sausage, Brisket
  • Cons: Too many people KNOW about the place! NO Beef Ribs

Nothing fancy just great BBQ

by jwoftx at Citysearch

Okay, this is just a really really good BBQ joint. It ain't trying to be nothing more than that. I first became familiar with their food when we had them cater a luncheon at work. And whenever I get the hankering for a pile of smokey brisket or spicey sausage I can come here, fill my craving, leave with a full stomach and do so for not a whole lotta money.

  • Pros: Good value for the money
  • Cons: I don't think they have a full liquor liscense
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great for Everyone

by wandaeth at Citysearch

I love this place! The staff are friendly and helpful! It is so fun to watch the meat cutters and there is a toy train that goes around the room. I'd like to send a special "Thumbs Up & Great Job" to the GM Eric, and also to Sam, JJ, Angel, Dave the bread guy and to the oldtimers: Laura F., Gina, the Lindsays, Salvador, Erica and the other people I can't think of right now. No ticket no tako!

Love you guys!! -"Taffy"

  • Pros: everything
  • Cons: everyone loves it :)
