Pok-e-Jo's - Round Rock

It really upsets me when an actor takes sides in politics...I no longer want to watch their movies nor drink their Casamigos Tequila....the same holds true for a Texas BBQ establishment that claims to be down-home Texas and American yet does Not give any sort of Veterans discount. After spending well over $100+ for a meal, I learned that Pok-e-Jo's does not recognize nor honor veterans with as much as a 5% veterans discount. The food was good, but eating here today was my last time. Of course I think of my 4+ years overseas, in service to America, but I also think of hundreds of thousands of my fellow Texas veterans. There are simply too many other great BBQ options that honor veterans. My proud veterans money will continue to go to Smokey MO's and other fine Texas BBQ establishments...not Pok e Jo's. ...."Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know."

Unfortunately, I'd say this would be about a 2.5 stars, but I'm bumping to 3 because the service was friendly. I only ended up taking a picture of one of my son's meal. Between my family and I we got, chopped brisket, fruit salad, corn, half a chicken, burnt ends, and a bbq baked potato. It was sadly the worst barbecue I've ever had. Burnt ends were dry and almost chewy, chicken skin had a touch of flavor but inside was pretty flavorless, and the chopped brisket was not memorable. Probably the most disappointing was the sauce. I tried all 3 (original, spicy, and peach habanero) They all tasted like a version of ketchup to me which is not what bbq sauce should taste like in my opinion. I was pretty disappointed with the whole experience and sadly wouldn't recommend.

The food is delicious. I especially like their broccoli salad. The brisket is pretty good as well, and the different sauces are very tasty. The servers are nice. The layout of the tables seems nice, although I ordered take-out. The food is comparable to other BBQ restaurants that charge more. If you like BBQ, then give these guys a try. I did and I liked it!

I went to Pok-e-Jo's at the recommendation of a friend. I'm very happy I did. First, of course is the quality of the BBQ and I took the Brisket. It was melt-in-your-mouth delish and was just right. The sides were good as well - had the Cole slaw and potato salad, both were good. The service was fast and efficient and the restaurant was very clean and well maintained. I used to go to Rudy's down the road, this is now my go to BBQ place. Amazing!

This used to be our favorite bbq place. They have consistently gone downhill in the last few years. Two salads for $30 and they grumble about an extra two tablespoons of ranch dressing. Won't be back. Cut corners and lose customers.

Always very good. I order extra for my dinner later when I pick up my lunch. . That's how good it is. The brisket, burnt ends, pork ribs, and turkey. I can't decide which is my favorite, so I get all of them. I love the cherry cobbler, too. Service is awesome, and plenty of room in the dining room for an intimate table or big party.

My son loved his brisket sandwich so much that he asked me if he could write a message to the restaurant.

Really good barbecue, great customer service, I will definitely come back soon.The food: I went with the pork ribs, as well as the sausage, some sort of casserole and banana putting. I really enjoyed the ribs. They were full of flavor and very tasty. The sausage was good as well. The sides were just as good too. I think my overall favorite though was the banana pudding. They had a pudding was very very good.Customer service, amazing customer service. The people here are very friendly and very nice. They make sure food comes out fast as it's pretty much ready to be served. We had quite a bit of a party we didn't have to wait at all. Everyone was very nice and they checked on her table several times.This is a local favorite, as they got very packed during lunchtime. I will definitely come back here again when I'm in the area. Great job guys and girls

I got Poke-e-Jo's to cater three lunches for my company who had very important guests visiting. I got great reviews from our guests, as well as our employees! Will definitely be working with them again.

Great bbq, nice family style restaurant. Restaurant was clean and our whole group enjoyed meals
