The Cockeye BBQ Menu tells a story that started in 2015 when brothers Matt and Dan Cene opened their first smokehouse in Warren, Ohio. What began as a small family venture quickly turned into a local legend — built on authenticity, slow-smoked meats, and that unmistakable hometown charm.
Progressively, Cockeye BBQ expanded its footprint across Ohio, earning rave reviews for its tender brisket, rich sauces, and inventive sides that pay tribute to traditional southern barbecue.
As the restaurant grew, so did its offerings — introducing fan favorites and even a secret menu known only to loyal regulars. From loaded BBQ nachos to off-menu smoked specialties, these hidden gems keep guests coming back.
Still, the original signature brisket plate remains the soul of Cockeye BBQ — a timeless reminder of where it all began, and why it’s still loved today.
