About Po' Boys

Po' Boys is a chinese bbq in Urbana, Illinois. It is listed at 202 E University Ave #1728, Urbana, IL 61801, which places it among the local businesses of Urbana that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Urbana; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Illinois are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–8 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Tuesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (217) 367-2255. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is poboysurbana.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 303 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded chinese bbq & roast meats in Urbana.

This place is consistent, friendly, quick, and very budget friendly. The pulled pork is arguably the best in town- and you get enough for two sandwiches. It’s cheaper to eat here than McDonald’s, and way way way better. Don’t sleep fool!

We really enjoy the pizza. The gentleman working was not to friendly. I guess they have a keg for beer and he said it would be 25 mins to change it but he never did. My mom was really looking forward to a beer and pizza

1st time eating here. When a small business owner serves you... you know it's a good place. Great Pizza and PB Chocolate Chip Pie- honestly, the best in the area for both of those items. Will be going back.

First time and it was so much better than expected!! Great service, Food came out fast and hot and tasted AMAZING !!! 10 OUT 10 RECOMMEND!! We ordered the BBQ grilled cheese with fries and added onions and mushrooms to my sandwich and it was some of the best BBQ sauce I have ever had!! Their cheese sticks are amazing too!!!

We heard the BBQ and pie was good, but we didn't expect to find such fantastical friendly and helpful service, too β€” so we went back again the same week to try the pizza. Same fantastical friendly and helpful service! Same awesome display of tasty pies! (With housemade whipped cream and a chocolate that is deeply committed to being chocolatey.) The dining area is also super easy to navigate with a wheelchair. My only concern was the amount of salt on the fries, so if you're sodium sensitive, you may ask them to go easy on that. Also note that the original style, vinegar-based BBQ is the real deal β€” very vinegar forward.
