Popular locally owned chain serves ribs and brisket with a decor that is all Texas. They offer Barbecue by the pound, Barbecue plates, and Catering. Since 1979, Pok-e-Jo's Smokehouse has been feeding barbecue to Austin, Texas a variety of barbecue plates to choose from. Best of all, the lunch special--your choice of meat with two sides--is available for dinner as well. Catering options range from pickups for large orders to delivery and a buffet-style setup. I have eaten here many times and the food quality never fails me. They offer almost 20 choices of sides and even a vegetarian plate. The brisket is always moist and tender regardless of the choice of lean or crown. The sausage has just enough kick to it and it is an old family recipe not store bought. The chicken and St. Louis style Pork ribs are almost fall off the bone tender. The sides are all made fresh daily. Sauce has two choices, the original and the spicy (made with ground chipotle peppers) has just a little bit of zip but it, like the sausage, is not one of those "burn all day" for that you will need to hit the condiment bar and pile on the onions, Pico-de-Gallo, and jalapenos.
This location is perfect for the working lunch or college student as they offer free wifi. As a final note, they will cater for parties of 15 or more. Worth the drive but there are four in Austin and one in Round Rock. Check out pokejos.com
