Not exaggerating, the best brisket I've ever had. I've gone back twice this week to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and it definitely was not! Incredible customer service and friendly staff, can't wait to return.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. My 15 yr old son is special and it it obvious in how he interacts with the world. The employees there were so patient and kind with him and now it is his favorite place after 1 visit, the banana pudding is also excellent.

Best BBQ in Austin. I’ve been to Terry Black’s and I prefer Pokey Jo’s every time. The brisket is emmacilaty moist. The turkey is juicy and full of flavor. The jalepeno cheddar sausage is also worth getting. Their sauce is served hot and is really good even for someone who doesn’t like BBQ sauce. Ive worked in the BBQ industry for 3yrs and this place is my favorite.

Decent BBQ, a little pricey for what it is. There are better options for similar prices. Staff was super friendly and quick.

Stopped in for a quick barbecue meal near the hotel. Had a wonderful dining experience, and was made to feel very welcomed by the staff, and especially Robert. Highly recommend, enjoyed the barbecue, we'll come back!

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!

Friday lunch consisting of pork ribs and brisket was excellent. As good as I've had in Austin. Sides are always good.

I've eaten here before but this was the first time using their website for carry out. The ordering process was very user friendly.The one thing I dread about take out is the drive home. If the food isn't packed right, you end up with a big mess. Lucky, this location did a great job.The brisket was tender and the sausage was not dry.We love the broccoli salad as well as their potato salad and cole slaw.The family pack is a great value and they provide all the condiments you need to complete the meal.

Pok e Jo's is perfect for catering at your office! Everything comes hot, fresh and well packaged. To top it off.. delicious! My fav is their brisket and potato salad smothered in their bbq sauce. Check them out!
