Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best time of day to host an event at Poke-Jo’s?
We’re open from 11 AM to 8 PM, so you can throw your BBQ bash anytime during the day. If you’re planning a smaller get-together or want a semi-private space, evenings are our sweet spot — the lunch rush has settled, the pits are still warm, and we’ve got plenty of room to make your event feel extra special.
Can PoK‑e‑Jo’s provide off‑site catering for larger events?
Yes—PoK‑e‑Jo’s catering services (through their sister branch PEJ Events) can support events beyond the restaurant with full buffet or plated BBQ and expanded menu options
What AV equipment is available in the party room?
This location offers audio/visual hooks and a projection screen, ideal for presentations, slideshows, or group entertainment
Can I rent the entire venue?
Yes you can rent out the entire venue for a fully private event.
Do you offer a buffet?
Absolutely! We can set up a buffet station for your semi-private or private event, making it easy for guests to fill their plates with their favorites. Even if you’re coming in with a group of 10–15 for lunch or dinner in our main dining room, we can arrange your own buffet station so you can skip the regular line and get right to the good stuff.
What drink options are available for my event?
Enjoy our selection of beer, wine, and soft drinks, all priced to please — just $5–$10 on average.
How do minimum spends and deposits work?
Semi-private events require a $100 deposit (applied to your bill). The private party room has no rental fee — just a $500 food & drink minimum. For full-venue rentals, contact us for rates — we’re often flexible depending on the day and time.
If I just want to come in for a group lunch or dinner, do I need to reserve the private party room?
Nope! If you’re simply looking for a spot for group dining (and not a semi-private or private event space), we can absolutely host your group in our main dining area. Just send us a request to let us know when you’re coming — and whether you’d like us to set up a buffet station for your group — and we’ll have everything ready.
