Pokey's

Sat at the bar, took a min for the bartender to acknowledge me even though he was probably 4’ away talking to another employee. Overall the food was great. I had the brisket tacos. Reasonable priced and had great flavor. Same with the baked beans. Very good. Could’ve easily been a 5 star review.

Just a good place to eat. We passed through here on vacation and I wanted a place that sold good beef ribs. After a short search we found Pokey's. My kid's burger had a good taste, but the best part was my Rib. One was all you need. It was not fall off the bone, but that was the best part. You had to grab it and go primeval on it. The BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. The side or rings had a good crunch to them as well. There were a few pieces of salad on my plate, but my kid grabbed them. It was one of those meals where you needed a nap afterwards.

What a cool place. The bbq was good. A little sweet for us but good. Great drink happy hour. Service was top notch. Loved the salad bar. Chicken was a little dry but not too bad. I cannot recommend the fried green tomatoes. Not much flavor and cut way too thin. But Over all it’s a great bbq place.

ETA: went back a couple weeks later on a Thursday night. They were obviously short staffed. Service was meh at best. Ribs barely had meat on them. Was given hot bbq sauce instead of medium. Definitely not as good of an experience but I still recommend giving this place a try.

We're always on the search for good bbq and we definitely found it here. My brisket sandwich was one of the best I've ever had and we've had bbq all over the US. The baked beans are what I want to really rave about. They were incredibly good. Outrageously good, really. Not so impressed with the mac & cheese brisket appetizer. There were just a few meat bits in it and the flavor was just okay. Service was good and our waitress was friendly. Our new go to place when we're in Gillette.
