    We came at the end of the night, and ordered 2 regular poke bowls with spicy tuna and a scoop of salmon. Service was pretty quick since we were probably the last customers. I wanted to try their cauliflower rice, but unfortunately, they were out by end of day. Still, really enjoyed my bowl!

    I thought this was ass tbh. I've been eating poke in San Diego for a few months and I guess I may have been spoiled there. The sauce was just not good, the rice was stale, the pineapple was hard as a rock. The shrimp was crunchy, the salmon was ok. I'm really disappointed. Just threw most of it out. 2 stars bc the salmon and the cucumbers were fresh and it was packaged nicely for delivery. *Update from a few hours later I haven't left the toilet I knew there was something off.

    It's usually a "hit or miss" with any "cafeteria style" spot. I've tried the burrito style (which they usually stuff with a shit ton of rice, like more rice than anything. I tried it as a salad and a rice bowel. But I will say the protein is always fresh and delicious (I only get the raw fish, never tried anything cooked) So with that being said...depending on who's working that day, the time and their mood is what you'll get. I'll add the photos as I find them to explain what I mean. Sometimes they "hook you up" like they're making it for themselves and sometimes they put your shit together like it's coming out of their check..... SN: I've only ordered through delivery so I can't speak on the actual customer service. Except for one time when I preordered and picked up and it was late and you could definitely tell the ladies were ready to clock out and go home‍

    I love poke and this place did a good job! Since they are a bit newer, it was very clean and we were the only ones there around dinner time. I love the abundance of toppings as well as the fresh fish. They have some unique toppings like soft tofu and peanuts. There's plenty of parking in the lot. I'll be back and perhaps bring a group of people since there's a lot of seating.

    I really enjoyed this place! I had tried to order a signature bowl but I guess the staff didn't hear me. The music is kinda loud in there. I got raw tuna which is not my typical go to for poke but it was surprisingly tasty. I don't really remember what I ordered but I enjoyed the food. One of the better poke places I've had in Austin

    Decent poke option, but doesn't compare with some other options in Austin. Good if it's the only thing open to in close proximity to you. They do offer a good selection of toppings and the fish tasted fairly fresh. However, fish was a little on the tougher side and the portions were smaller for the price. I do like that they had a lot of spicy topping options.

    Ignored the bad reviews and took a chance, now contributing to the bad reviews. Ordered poke bowl for takeout and I got maybe 2 pieces of salmon and shrimp. For a $18 poke bowl, UP YOUR PORTIONS. Honestly embarrassing how small of a portion I received. Don't order from here, they skimp on portions and the sauce was soupy. Worst poke bowl I've ever had. Very disappointed.

    I'm a Pokeworks regular (at the Riverside location) but was in North Austin so I stopped by this location for the first time! I was excited since they have milk tea which the Riverside location doesn't have. Perhaps it's for the best that milk tea isn't served across all locations because this was honestly the worst boba milk tea I have purchased from a restaurant. I ordered the taro milk tea and the cashier who took my order seemed hesitant after I ordered it and went to the back to presumably talk to a coworker for advice on it. After a couple minutes, I received my drink and was shocked about the quality of the boba pearls. They were hard and many were not round. Surprised the tea was even served to me since I'm sure the pearls looked abnormal before they were poured into the cup. The tea itself was fine. If the pearls were good I still probably wouldn't have purchased the tea again. No complaints about my poke bowl. Good as usual. This experience with the milk tea was unusually bad though that I feel discouraged from Pokeworks for a bit.

    Please wear a hairnet. Or a hat. Or both. The worst feeling is being half way through with your food, and fishing out a long black hair from inside your mouth mixed with the food you've been chewing. Please wear a hairnet. It's disgusting.

Ribs and sausage were excellent as well, and complimentary sauces, pickles, and white bread much appreciated. The meats sell out fast so get here early! The line is looong but 100% worth it. There's both indoor and outdoor seating in this small but mighty shop, and thankfully the tables turn over quickly so you shouldn't have trouble settling down once you get your food!

    So I finally decided to go try Franklins and brave the line. I arrived on a weekday at 1130am and…read morethe line was not bad. Maybe an hour. I love how people are giving this place a 1 star because they are popular and the line is long sometimes, I mean come one so stupid. This place is small and it's amazing how they can crank out as much bbq as they do. It's impressive. I got almost to the front of the line around 1230pm and they were already almost out of ribs, so go early. I got a 1/2lb of Brisket, 1/4lb of turkey, 3 bones of ribs, and one link of the jalapeño cheddar sausage, my side I did was potato salad. I'll give my honest review down below on each item. Brisket- 1000/10, best I have ever had. It was well seasoned, juicy, smoky, fatty in the right way and just so tender and delicious. Spectacular. Turkey- another 1000/10, it's so juicy and and tender. They season it but not heavily which is great since Turkey is a mild tasting meat. I would definitely get this again! Ribs- 6/10, and I love ribs. To me the seasoning on these was so thick it just overpowered the taste of the pork. All I could taste was pepper on it. It was good but I would personally pass on this item next time. Sausage- 1000/10, again so good. It was spicy due to the jalapeños but not overly, the cheese was nice and there was a good snap to the casing. The smoke added a nice touch to the fattiness of the sausage. Potato salad- 3/10, to me this was not a good take on potato salad. Not much texture in it like celery or something like that and all I could taste was vinegar. I like acid in my food but this is all I could taste. So it wasn't for me. Overall when I go next time I will be loading up on brisket, turkey and sausage! These items are amazing, maybe try another side, their beans looked really good. GO OUT AND EAT SOME BBQ!!

Even the shareable / appetizers were enough for one person, which we resorted to. They were also out of some things we wanted to try on the menu but weren't notified until awhile after ordering it that they've been out of that item for a while now. It wasn't noted on the menu either. The drinks however were the real stars of the show. They were well presented, tasted great, and had a good amount of liquor in each one. The final shots we took after several drinks, that were served on a cute and smokey little boat, were our favorite. Also note, they only split the bill up to 3 ways evenly, not itemized so we had to coordinate with Venmo/zelle/cashapp-ing the primary payor and did our own paybacks accordingly. The ambiance was very interactive and entertaining. If you've ever been to rainforest cafe, this place reminded me of the adults only version of it. In the end, we were still hungry and walked to shake shack after. Overall I'd give it a 4/5 for the sake of coming here at least once for the experience.

We told the person at the window that we placed an order online and she let us know that it wasn't working. So she asked if she could take our order. We agreed, placed our order, and paid. She let us know that it would take about 10-15 minutes as there were orders in front of ours. It wasn't a problem. We just walked around a little bit and before we knew it our food was ready so we took our bag of food and went home to eat. Initially I intended to order the Mañanera Burger but it was not available. So I decided to order the Hawaiian Burger which comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, jack cheese, pineapple, ham, jalapenos, mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup. I ordered my burger without jalapenos and without mayonnaise. I also ordered a side of onion rings. The burger was delicious. You could taste the char from the grill and it was cooked perfectly. Most of the other ingredients were fresh. The pineapple added a sweet flavor while the ham gave it a slight saltines. The cheese was melted to the burger. My burger could have used a few more small onions and some crisper pickles. The onion rings were really good. They were super crispy on the outside with a good sized onion inside. I usually eat my onion rings with ketchup but I didn't need any. The onion rings were tasty on their own. Overall this food truck had delicious burgers and onion rings. The service was good despite the online ordering system not working. It was a very filling and tasty dinner.
