We used Poke Joe’s Catering for our engagement party this past Saturday (September 27th), and I cannot say enough AMAZING things about the entire experience!
From the very beginning, working with John Bohne was such a breeze. He responded quickly to every email, walked me through what our event would look like, and was endlessly patient as I changed my mind a few times along the way (thank you, John!). Once we finalized everything, the day of the event couldn’t have gone smoother.
The catering team arrived right on time, and I showed them to our backyard where we’d set up a tent to keep them shaded from the late afternoon sun. They got everything ready so efficiently and with such professionalism. The full-service fajita bar was a huge hit! The meat and chicken were unbelievably tender, the sides were fresh and flavorful, the queso was so tasty, and every single detail was perfect. Our guests could not stop raving about it the entire night. We’re still getting texts and calls from friends and family saying how amazing the food was and how it completely elevated the whole party.
We highly recommend Poke Joe’s for any event; they helped make our celebration stress-free and so memorable. We’ll absolutely keep them in mind for future gatherings!

Glad to find a great neighborhood BBQ joint actually close to us, with no fuss service and parking. We had meat plates (brisket on one, turkey on the other) with w sides each (potato casserole, jalapeño cornbread, corn, and green been casserole). All were excellent, and we are taking home plenty of meat for a sandwich each tonight. When we are in Austin for Thanksgiving, if they’re open, I’d vote to come here and make a nice turkey dinner. Highly recommended.

The sausage was terrible. Moist brisket was crunchy. Potato salad very bland. Pinto beans were decent. I went to use the bathroom and saw this sign. Nothing to joke about. Last time I go here. In the past the food was better

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

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.

Most BBQ spots are unreasonably priced for lunch, but this gem was fair, gave large side and meat portions for the sandwich combo and has very kind service staff. My husband and I were able to get an extra side bc we traded my drink in the combo for another side and then shared the large tea that came with his. Only odd thing is that there are many abandoned businesses in the same complex

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!

This is a safe place to try if you are in Austin looking for good brisket! You can’t go wrong here, all the sides are really good too and their sauces are hot and yummy. The staff is friendly and the place is really clean. Love coming here with my husband .

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.
