About us

Pocket's Grille opened on September 16, 1996 in downtown Smithville, Texas with the strict objectives of delivering the highest quality service and the best tasting food in a clean casual environment.

With hard work and dedication Pocket's Grille quickly became a local favorite. We believe that focusing on customer service and great food is what sets us aside from other local eating establishments and we continue to work hard to make Pocket's a place that Smithville can be proud of.

Our Food

At Pocket’s Grille, we take pride in serving up fresh, flavorful dishes for every appetite. From juicy smash burgers and hand-tossed pizzas to crisp salads and hearty sandwiches, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And if you can’t find something you love on our menu—well, you just aren’t that hungry!

Quality is at the heart of everything we make. Our burgers are never frozen, our hot dogs are 100% all-beef, and our salads are packed with the freshest ingredients. We even make our pizza dough from scratch every day, hand-forming each crust to order.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite, a family dinner, or a get-together with friends, great food and good times are always on the menu at Pocket’s Grille. Come hungry, leave happy!

OUR LOCATION

In the summer of 2008, after 12 years on Main Street, Pocket’s Grille moved to its current home at the corner of Hwy 95 & Loop 230. We meticulously crafted our new location with the aim of providing an unparalleled dining experience. As you step inside, you'll immediately sense the careful attention to detail—every color, texture, and design choice contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere.

At Pocket’s, we believe great food and service should be enjoyed in a space that feels just as special. Some of our favorite elements are our chalkboard-style menu boards, our iconic 1961 Ford Galaxy burger bar, our movie memorabilia and our steady supply of ice-cold WD40—iykyk! Our outdoor playground and patio area provide the perfect setting for families to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal together.

Whether it's your first visit or you're a familiar face, we welcome you to come and enjoy all that Pocket’s Grille has to offer!

MOVIE DECOR

Over the past couple of decades, Smithville has made its mark on both the small screen and the big screen. From major film productions to television and streaming productions, independent films, music videos, and even national commercials, our town has become a go-to backdrop for the film and music industries.

Along the way, we’ve had the privilege of meeting talented actors, directors, and crew members, many of whom have left behind a piece of their journey.
