I am a wedding coordinator who worked with this bride and groom in setting up their wedding and reception. Pok-E-Jo's provided wonderful barbeque for the reception dinner. Several of the guests attending asked me who the caterer was because the food was excellent (their words) and I was happy to tell them. The staff was very responsive to needs, making plates for the wedding party table and having it ready when they were. The staff did a fantastic job of set up, presentation and taking care of everyone. We could not have asked for better. I would highly recommend Pok-E-Jo's for catering.

Couldn't be happier. Great deal, super professional and punctual serving staff, polite and charming, tons of delicious food for our money! Rika our contact was johnny on the spot (immediately responsive, so sweet and a clear communicator) for our entire planning process with answers to all my questions, even if I had asked them before and forgot. Would have them cater anything again in a second. My guests were raving about how good the food was and I was so happy it didn't cost us our whole budget :) You won't be disappointed!

Pok-e-jo's is not just delicious, they were super-easy to work with and very affordable. When our numbers changed suddenly, they worked with us and were very flexible when we decided to add appetizers to our meal. Our family and friends all loved the BBQ and still talk about it now! Thanks Pok-e-jo's!

The catering for our wedding was great. The food was very good and the service was excellent! We couldn't have picked a better caterer.

For best quality at a great price we used Poke Jo's for our rehearsal and our wedding reception. We did the fajita buffet with brownies and lemon bars for the rehearsal with disposables and did the brisket and turkey wedding menu with rented china for the reception.
Easy to plan with Rika Burman and everyone LOVED the food!!

GUEST




Pokejos was awesome! They were professional and efficient throughout the whole process. I switched to them last minute and they worked with me changing items and headcounts up until the last week. Everyone I worked with was friendly and helpful. On the day of, the staff was amazing. They ensured my husband and I ate and were quick to clean up and help out. The entire process of working with them was smooth and easy. And the food was amazing!!
GUEST




Rika and the catering staff at Pokejos were always available to respond to questions or concerns. The onsite service was amazing, helpful, friendly and professional. The food was delicious and exactly what we requested. We received many compliments that day on the food and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The servers were also very helpful with regard to cutting and serving the cake and even rolled with our impromptu style of reception timing. Thanks to them and kudos!
GUEST




I could not have been more thrilled with Pok E Jo's service and food. They went above and beyond at our wedding and I was greatly appreciative. It started raining, so our outdoor ceremony was beginning to be moved inside but then the rain stopped, so we decided to move it back outside. The Pok E Jos caterers told us not to worry about the decor/chairs/etc inside as they would set everything back up for us. They were more than happy to assist and went above and beyond with no questions asked. I would definitely recommend Pok E Jo's to anyone and everyone. The food was amazing, the guests were thrilled and I was so happy with the service, which overexceeded well done. Two thumbs up, five stars, A ++++++! Thanks so so much!
GUEST




Poke-jos did an exceptional job from presentation to quality of food. The presentation of the appetizers and buffet line was perfect. Many of our guest commented to us about how good to food was from the apps to the dinner. Thank you for all the work you did behind the scenes as well.
GUEST




Our friends and family members commented it was the best wedding food they had eaten. We would have gone back for seconds if not too full.
GUEST




We are so happy that we went with Pokejos! Everyone LOVED the food! There was plenty of food for everyone to eat, and it was delicious! Alexis was very helpful, and even referred me to a catering service that does alcohol/bartending who we were very happy with as well. Best idea for a wedding!
GUEST




I continue to get compliments on the food!!!!!!!! Guests from the wedding even went the day after for lunch!! I highly recommend them!!!!!!
GUEST




Pokejos was wonderful!! The food was excellent and the people were so nice. You didn't even know they were there (in a good way). Had many compliments on the food, everyone was really impressed. Alexis was great to work with - I would highly recommend her and Pokejos for catering any event.
GUEST




The food was excellent. The raspberry chipotle sauce tasted amazing, the potato casserole was addictive, and the black bean salad was both healthy and refreshing. The staff was incredibly professional and helpful. I have nothing but great things to say about PoKeJo's.
GUEST




Pokejos surpassed my expectations...from planning, food and service, to clean up , they were professional, organized and responsive to any inquiries or requests. I was impressed from the beginning with the many food options and the end result was a wonderful buffet at our reception. The servers were efficient, helpful and thoughtful...serving appetizers to the bridal party and family while waiting for photos to be taken, making plates for us to take and eat later. Most importantly, the food was elegantly served, hot, plentiful and DELICIOUS. We received so many compliments from guests. I highly recommend Pokejos.
GUEST




We served Pokejos barbeque at our wedding a few weeks ago and were thoroughly happy with our decision. Many of our guests raved about the barbeque, and even vegetarian guests said it was some of the best vegetarian fare they have had at a wedding. Because I am vegetarian, I made sure Pokejos had plenty of options, and they didn't disappoint. Alexis, the catering coordinator, is professional and extremely responsive. Pokejos was the only one of our vendors who followed up with us within a week after the wedding to make sure we were satisfied with their service. We really appreciated this and had only positive things to say about our experience.
GUEST




Thanks Alexis and the "A" staff! The food and service were fantastic!!! The staff even thought to serve the wedding party appetizers while taking pictures. We received numerous compliments on the quality and ample servings. Thanks again!
GUEST

*Amazing service! The staff on my special day was friendly, delightful to work with, and they even remembered a special request the groom had made at the tasting!
*Amazing coordinating! The point person was very responsive and made me not worry about the catering at all! They had it covered from the moment they arrived until it was all cleaned up!

GUEST




Great food! Very affordable! Very easy to work with! We recommend the catering service for all events! Will do business with again! Thanks for the great, hard work!
GUEST




pokejos saved our wedding. we had a guy that we knew that was going to do the bbq for our wedding reception and one week before the wedding he was no where to be found and could not be reached. the groom's aunt came to the rescue and offered to organize the food for the reception. i was so impressed with the food. It was some of the best bbq we ever had. The staff that came to serve the food were great. Everything was set up, served, cleaned up, and the leftovers put in the fridge without us having to lift a finger or say a word. It worked out better than if we had had the orignal guy do the food. We were so impressed.
GUEST




Great services. Came in set up- served everyone who wanted to eat and left with out us even realizing it. Food was great!! Loved the little touches... Two plates left for us later, gifts for the bride and groom, and a coupon for a free sandwhich. I'll would call on ya'll again if the time comes up.
GUEST




You will not be dissapointed if you go with Poke-Jo's for your wedding catering. You may think it's just bbq, but so not true. You get great tasting, but very nice food for a great price. My guest loved the fact that the food was so good and filling. The service is over the top! Great choice for catering. We were beyond pleased.
GUEST




Pok-e-jo's was great value and delicious food. We absolutely loved their food and they set up the buffet beautifully. Our only complaint was that they packed up the food a little to quickly for us.
GUEST




Pokejos is an amazing vendor. They're very responsive and very professional. The food was great and many of our guest was impressed with the quality of the food. They made everything so easy for us. Highly recommended
GUEST




PokeJo's is a great vendor to work with. Not only are they well priced but Rika and her team were so responsive to any specific requests we had. At least minute everything had to be changed from outside to the inside due to rain, and everything went very smoothly. I do wish they would have started picking up finished plates a bit sooner, but if that is the only complaint, I'd say they are doing a pretty great job!
GUEST




The staff was great to work with! Everything was just perfect.
Amazing coordinating! The point person was very responsive and made me not worry about the catering at all!
GUEST




Pok-e-jo's and Alexis were a blessing to work with!! On the business side, they were responsive, informative, and totally willing to work with us to make a perfect spread for our wedding day-completely flexible. On the food side, I could not have been happier with the presentation and taste of the food. Many of our guests had never eaten Pok-e-Jo's before and were really impressed with the quality of the meat and the sides too! I was so happy to be able to share one of my favorites places to eat with my guests. Because of the staff and set up, catering was one of the easiest things to take care of for the wedding. Thumbs up!
GUEST




Overall food was great! Paid extra for servers to clean up, and they did not do as well of a job. My family had to stay after and clean up plates and cups.

GUEST




PokeJo's did a great job catering our wedding of ~90 guests at Zilker clubhouse. We met with Rika for our tasting and worked out our menu. They did a great job in setting up the buffet with a cute little drink table as well. The food was a treat and there was plenty of it. The buffet guys were great with serving and cleanup. They neatly packaged all the leftovers in the fridge for us. I would absolutely recommend PokeJo's catering. A great price with good food and excellent service.
GUEST




Our caterer Pok-e-jos was excellent. All of our guests were thrilled to have BBQ and it was delicious. We would definitely use them again. The pricing was fair and the food was excellent!
Pok E Jos is one of the best BBQ caterers around. Not only can they provide the best Texas BBQ that you want for your reception, but they are also able to provide quite an elegant set up. I have seen it on more than one occassion in addition to the many times I have seen them and they always do an excellent job, and more than that, our brides always report good things about them.
Okay, I have to start with saying I love Pok-e-Jo's! They take care of my lovely couples, kudos to Rika over there, as you are in great hands when working with her. The staffing is seamless and helpful and of course Pok-e-Jo's food is really, really good and their pricing will make you happy.~
If you are considering BBQ for your catering choice - definitely consider talking with Rika at Pokejos. She is a licensed event planner with the skills and personality to make it happen. Plus - the food is awesome! Highly recommended :)
I recently had the pleasure of working with Jim of Pok-e-Jos during a wedding reception and it was indeed a pleasure! The crew was very professional and very easy to work with. The buffet was serviced in a timely and orderly fashion. Thumbs up Jim & crew!! =)
