SLOW FOOD....FAST

REAL WOOD-FIRED BBQ
SCRATCH SIDES

A DESTINATION

Located on the west side of Warren, Cockeye BBQ is real American barbeque from the award-winning Chef and Pitmaster Erik Hoover.

From the beginning, Cockeye has always been about authentic barbecue.  We don't cut corners because there is no shortcut to great barbecue.  We believe that BBQ done right is a tribute to American ingenuity.  We understand that it's time, spice and love that work to create our signature flavors.

At Cockeye BBQ we choose to use high-quality meats and source locally as much as we can.  Our traditional BBQ is hand-rubbed with our signature spice blend and smoked on site over local hardwood for up to 14 hours.  All of our sides are scratch-made from family recipes and start with real, raw ingredients.  We want to cook this way because this is what we believe in.  You can feel confident knowing that we put in the time so you don't have to.

Cockeye BBQ is slow food, fast.  From our family to yours. 

SMOKE AS AN INGREDIENT

Our pits are wood-fired and we source local hickory to season our foods. Hand-blended spices and house-recipe sauces compliment our meats.

FRESH AND LOCAL

We use local seasonal produce whenever possible and our scratch made sides are a collection of recipes handed down and shared for generations.

AWARD WINNING BBQ

Our BBQ has won state and regional competitions from Michigan to Connecticut to Kansas City to North Carolina. We have consistently been named best caterer and best BBQ by local publications.
