Not sure where the world champion bbq came from but they got it wrong. You should never have to put sauce on brisket. It should be delicious just plain. This that I ate was soooo dry and had zero flavor. The younger guy at the window was rude as heck. Tried them at Tyler Bergfeld Park but never

Brisket and sausage were ok, but the Mac and cheese was a runny mess and tasted terrible. The potato salad was a 3 out of 10. Their bbq sauce is not very good either. Overall, the food is not worth the price. Paid $10.50 for 2 ribs. They were pretty bland. There are plenty of other options for BBQ.

We enjoyed the cool Texas bbq atmosphere of this place! Wonderful and friendly customer service and the food was very good; we just couldn’t try the dessert because they didn’t have any left that day we went but normally they do. Sounds like a good reason to come back ?!

I payed 23 dollars for a child size chopped beef sandwich. The pinto beans undercooked. Felt like I was eating 2 day leftovers.

I was invited from the owner thru a local East Texas Facebook post. It was decent/average BBQ but not life changing championship BBQ! I'll try them again later to see if it improves with time.

I’ve never tried this so I shouldn’t be leaving a review but….While attending the Piney Park Lights in Marshall Texas they were one of the food trucks that was in attendance. While waiting on our food from another attending food truck I look over at theirs and the older gentleman that was at the window taking orders from customers was also smoking and coughing!!! That would turn anybody way! That has to be health code on operating a food truck that serves the public!!
I ordered barbeque plates for my coworkers. Uber Eats way overcharged me. The owner? Ms. Laura took the time to get everything straightened out and make everything right. She didn't have to do this. Poke in da Eye has a life long customer! I'm going to ask them to cater my next party. They gave great BBQ and tasty sides. This, in addition to the phenomenal, over the top customer service!

So I went and got a 2 meat plate yesterday. I'm craving BBQ and this was the nearest place from Arp. I got Brisket and Jalapeno sausage. Double potatoe salad, pintos and banana pudding.The sausage was on point. Brisket was super small portions and fatty. I'm ok with it because it was like $20. NOW I'm a potatoe salad girl and what I was offered was pre frozen baked potatoes mixed with very little. The texture of the potatoes and the wateriness of them was gross. The pinto beans was lacking seasoning but I doctored them up with SP and BBQ sauce. Until I took a bite that had off putting meat in it. I'm sorry but that meat was rancid and spit it out. The Nanna pudding was actually pretty good it tasted like scratch from a roux. Like my Mommas.I'm sorry to leave this review but as a single female eating everywhere, just save your coins.UPDATE: I ate what I ate. I tasted what I tasted. Your list of ingredients was not in the food. I'm someone who will go to Pat G's and then go get my sides from CT.Now I will go back and try your other side of fresh food. I love catfish (Uncertain TX) but you tarter sauce needs to be on point.

Original plan was to go to Country Tavern, so glad we didn't!!! They had over an hour wait, so we drove on over to Poke in da eye and it was WONDERFUL !!! Joseph and staff catered to my family like royalty! We bought all the meat they had left and coleslaw,green beans also baked beans, and 3 slices of pecan pie right before close. Our family will be back again, we had a hankering for some good food we got GREAT food and more ! Thank ya'all for the hospitality and delicious food.
Loved it here! Greeted by friendly folks serving up some tasty goodness. Highly recommend!

Very confusing. Went on a Friday. There apparently is a different area where you order the chicken and shrimp. Through a closed door with no signs. I ordered the shrimp and the lady had to walk me around to the door that had a closed sign on it and showed me how to ordered it. Nothing was clearly marked very confusing. Also the brisket was not as expected.
