    Brisket with Sausage. Sides: Mac N Cheese and Mashed Potatoes
    Victor T.

    I hadn't been to Pok e Jo's in a while, and I was not disappointed Ordered the two-meat plate with brisket and sausage, and years later, it did not fail to appeal to my palate. The brisket was as tender as it could be, melting in my mouth. The sausage was tasty, and when both were garnished with their tasty BBQ sauce, I was in hog heaven, haha. For sides, I selected the Mac 'n Cheese and Mashed Potatoes, and they were served in healthy portions. I will say, I had lunch the next day with the leftover portions. So much goodness. I found the interior to be typical of your local, neighborhood-type restaurant. Staff are always kind and conversational. If you want some great BBQ at a reasonable price with nice-sized portions, Poke -e Jo's will not disappoint.

    Pok-e-to Plate ($12.50), Premium Brisket Sandwich ($10.95)

    Given the rating, I was surprised as how good this was! The prices are great, the portions are huge, and the menu has plenty of variety (you can even pick a yummy dessert like banana pudding as a side). It's served cafeteria style. You can tell why it's packed with families here - there is something for everyone and it's inexpensive. They also have a self-serve pickle bar. I got the kid's plate (lol) called the Pok-e-To plate ($12.50) and it was plenty. I picked the burnt ends as the protein, then the potato salad and baked potato casserole as the sides. They also offer you texas toast and BBQ sauce. My friend got the brisket sandwich ($10.95) - you can pick lean or marbled brisket too! The burnt ends were definitely dry but still enjoyable. The sides were decadent. The staff is super friendly :)

    AWESOME, CRAVE-WORTHY. LOVE!!

    If I could, I would give them 100 stars!! Only seeing a brief glimpse of the sign, I thought this was a raw tuna place. 'Worked across the parking lot @ Sprouts since 12/2023 and just today a favorite customer (knowing I'm a semi-retired chef) said, "The BEST BBQ in Austin. Great Value!!" So I walked over when my 5am shift ended at 1:30. I could smell deliciousness before I even saw the building!! Staff was inviting, friendly, warm, PROUD. $24 got me a three meat plate w/ two GENEROUS sides, peach cobbler AND coconut chocolate chip cookies. (Granted 'cuz I work at Brodie Oaks I got the 10% "parking lot discount." ) Moist Brisket, White Meat Chicken, Pork Rib w/ jalapeño cornbread stuffing and green bean casserole was OUTSTANDING!!! 'Too full to tuck into the deserts... I easily have two more meals from the leftovers!! Forget any naysayers or less than 5 star reviews. Chef Moi deems this my most-loved, perfect bbq and experience in Austin yet!! Well-worth Your time, search, $$$. MOST EXCELLENT!! Awe, I LOVE this place!!

    Hadn't been to Pok e Jo's in a minute! I was pleasantly surprised... Ordered the two meat plate with brisket and pork ribs. Three pork ribs and while he was slicing I asked for burnt ends for the brisket. The ribs were tender and flavorful and the brisket was perfectly charred on the outside and moist & tender inside. I thought I was in BBQ heaven. For sides I chose the delicious Jalapeno Cornbread casserole (for the first time) and the Broccoli Cheese (very cheesy and not overcooked). The serving was so large I actually had to bring some home. More for a snack later

    Had to have barbarque so I decided to stop at Poke Jo,s I ordered the two meat plate and loved the brisket marbled delicious. The chicken was good but dry. I really felt the chicken was left out too long under the ovens. So, my next visit will be if they can check my barbaque and see if its moist.located in a strip mall its decor is very pretty much wood floors very plain. Benches are available to sit. I rated the brisket and side salad 5 star and chicken a three star. Planning to try all the meats next time. Fountain drinks available and great staff friendly definitely will return again. Happy yelping!

Loro is an Asian smokehouse and bar featuring grilled and smoked meats with Southeast Asian and Japanese-inspired sauces, sides, and a bar that boasts craft beer, boozy slushees, and batch cocktails. Parking at this location is a bit of a challenge. They have overflow parking in the back but the spots are really small. We sat at the bar area and worked our way through cocktails, apps, and dessert. We opened a tab and the bar staff takes your order which is convenient, versus how you normally have to order by waiting in line at the bar. The bar staff was extremely busy because they have to make all the cocktails and take the line orders at the bar. They are a master of multitasking. It was $3 martini night on Tuesday, so was excited to sample the four different drink options. lychee martini, Mexican martini, and Lucky Cat cosmo martini. Lychee martini is made with new amsterdam vodka, sake, elderflower, Mexican martini with espolon blanco, olive, yuzu, lime and cosmo with vodka, blood orange, naranja, lime. The lychee was hands down my favorite of the three. We started with the Dip Sampler that included a trifecta of smoked shishito queso, smoked salmon dip and Thai green salsa with the Siete blue corn tortilla chips. We went through the chips quickly and got a second round of wonton chips which I preferred to the Siete chips. Tried the Mango Chamoy frozen Slushee with Siete Chamoy Botana Sauce & Siete Chile Lime Seasoning Rim, passionfruit, Aperol, Sake and Sparkling Wine which was refreshing. All their boozy slushies are $5 during happy hour. Ordered the oak grilled edamame from the happy hour menu and it was a flavor explosion with a dusting of serracha powder, lemon zest and white sesame. For dinner, I ordered my go-to rice bowl with coconut-scented rice, seasonal pickles, thai herbs and steak as the protein. They normally served this with Bavette, but the steak was a bit tough and chewy this time. Finished everything off with cheesecake with five spice crumble, yuzu marmalade for dessert. The vibe at the bar was relaxed and lively without feeling overwhelming, and the collab menu felt creative without trying too hard. The ingredients are very thoughtful for a fully developed flavor profile. Just what I would expect from the culinary minds of Tyson Cole and Aaron Franklin. Definitely one of the regulars in my list when craving good cocktails with a casual but elevated food menu.

We came here for a small late lunch during a hot day and this place checked all the boxes. Plenty of seating options and we loved the AC. Both high chairs and booster seats available for kids. The char siew pork belly was very good. Nothing like barbecue pork belly or asian char siew, but somehow they made it work. Chicken karaage was what you would expect, similar to what you get at Japanese places. Portions are big. The sesame rice noodles were highly reviewed but kinda underwhelming. Sauce was surprisingly spicy and the sesame flavor wasn't super obvious. We also tried the rendang beans and rice, which was a creative spin. I enjoyed the curried beans with the fragrant coconut rice. Nice spot to rest, relax, enjoy a meal and drinks. Enjoyed our experience.

This Asian smokehouse definitely lives up to the hype. Since we had more adventures planned for the evening, we decided to keep dinner on the lighter side. Loro's menu combines Asian-inspired and Texas smokehouse flavors, creating a unique and delicious dining experience. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. We placed our order at the counter, and somehow the staff magically delivers everything to the correct table...without numbers, flags, or those little buzzing gadgets. I'm still trying to figure out their secret. We especially enjoyed the open seating, modern décor, and communal dining concept. The indoor-outdoor layout is especially appealing during Austin's cooler months. For dinner, we ordered the wings, Brussels sprouts, and salmon bowls. My friend happily claimed most of the wings, as they were a little crispier than I prefer. The Brussels sprouts, however, were excellent...crispy, crunchy, and finished with just the right touch of sweetness. The true highlight were the salmon bowls. The salmon was perfectly charred and packed with flavor, while the coconut rice added a rich, slightly sweet complement that tied the dish together seamlessly. Loro delivered a fun, flavorful dining experience and proved to be an excellent choice for a birthday celebration.

They do come through the line and let you purchase drinks, which is nice. We waited probably 45 minutes. They only let the ordering parties come in, as they try to keep it a little more personal. It definitely seemed like they could improve the efficiency a little. We shared the brisket and pork La Chopped sandwiches to get to try different things. Also grabbed some pickles and potato salad. The portion for the price was pretty good. Flavors and tenderness of the meats were 10/10. The buns are potato buns, so that is an extra bonus to a plain white bun. All the sides seemed carefully prepared - no boring flavors here. While this is not a place I would frequent just because of the wait, it was really delicious.

La Barbeque was listed in the top 4 on Yelp for the city of Austin so we decided to go with it. We flew in and ubered straight to it. There was a line down the front of the building on to the sidewalk and around the corner. That is a good sign for BBQ. While standing in line a guy walked by and said they give you free beer. My husband was curious and went to the front of the line and found out THEY DO! Each person over 21 is provided 2 free beers while waiting in line to get your food. What a great perk and sets them apart from other places that you just wait there forever. When we arrived (it was 2pm on a Saturday) they were already out of all sausages and the beef ribs. Not a huge deal, but I did want to try some sausage. Oh well, I guess that means I have to go back... We waited for about 45 minutes and 2 beers later we are walking in the door. Cute, small place but does have seating inside. Thank goodness cause that Austin heat and humidity was getting to me. The guy that was handing out the beer cut us 2 pieces of brisket to try. OMG!! It literally melted in my mouth. I have never had such tender brisket in my life. So of course, we got some of that. We got 4 pork ribs and got the last ones, mac n cheese that was amazing, spicy pickles, and potato salad that was really fennel forward. If you like fennel it was delish! I was using a plastic fork and the brisket fell apart like butter. It was amazing. Between the excellent service and the killer food, we will be back for sure. Best BBQ I have ever had.
