Pok-e-Jo's Smokehouse Revenue and Competitors

The first Pok-e-Jo's Smokehouse, located on North Burnet Road in Austin, Texas was founded by University of Texas graduates . Unhappy with other BBQ joints, they set out to perfect their own recipes and rubs through countless samplings of ribs and brisket, and convinced Joe's grandma to share her prized potato salad recipe. Before long, their business was smoking. Doug honed his restaurant skills at a few famous Dallas BBQ joints and turned Pok-e-Jo's into one of the best BBQ places in Austin. Porky's son, Danny Haberman joined the expanding business soon after the original Burnet Road location was condemned to make way for Mopac Highway. Danny helped develop the company's burgeoning catering business. Within three years, Pok-e-Jo's opened two more locations, Years have passed since the first plate of BBQ was served, yet the same values of hard work and top quality meats have not changed. The popular side dishes, many of which are family recipes or have evolved from trial and error, are still made fresh every morning. Danny and Doug can still be found at one of the five locations shaking hands with "regulars" and visiting with old friends.Pok-e-Jo's is here to stay. Follow Pok-e-Jo's on Twitter: @OfficialPokejos.

Absolutely the most respectful and professional group I have ever seen. They came, they. Checked out our area, came up with a game plan of setting up, and before I knew it they were serving. People and our employees loved it!!! I have never seen a group of people all work so well together. It was really impressive! Lisa was so great in communicating to me and the team she was with.
