What more can you ask for? You can fill up your tank of gas and then walk about 10 feet and have the amazing pulled pork with fries. I like mine on Texas toast. The beans are the only bad thing about this place.... (more)

This is a super fun place that has local flavor. It's located in a gas station that overlooks a liquor store. The sauce is tangy and a bit sweet. I love the Z-man sandwich. (more)

The pulled pork sandwiches are fantastic. The pork is tender and the buns are very soft. Don't forget to add some bbq sauce... it's some of the best I've tasted. As far as sides, the fries, onion rings, and cole slaw are... (more)

Good meat, great sauce, and too many fries. I have yet to order anything off of the menu and been disappointed (and I've been then more than a couple of times). In my opinion the sauce is what seperates the good from the... (more)

I'll admit that BBQ is a personal thing, but OK Joe's is not mine. The ribs are okay, but the beans are just nasty. (more)
