Great food and service! There was 7 of us. One was in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating. The food was delicious! Go early if you want brisket though as they ran out. All in all it was delicious. We will definitely go back.

Traveled from Canton to try it out (for my birthday!) after hearing about it online. More casual than we expected but not a big deal. We found a comfy table in the corner and enjoyed ourselves. Everything was delicious. Staff was friendly and welcoming and knew we were newbies. They were very busy with both inside diners and take-out so I was surprised when one of the staff checked on us in the dining room and remembered it was our first visit. Good customer service! Only critique we would offer is the meats could have been warmer (the sides were hot) and the small table where you get extra sauce is too small and the area too dark. It was hard to read the descriptions of the sauces and we felt rushed by the amount of people waiting to get their sauces. Otherwise, a great experience and we'll be back.

This place is always a win! Fabulous food, wonderful staff, quick, exactly what we wanted... every time! We got my little doggo a pup cup once. He was super happy, too. It was huge and had a cute little treat on top! that was definitely a multiple-day treat for him. Oh! And the owners are the nicest people!

So, we walk in the front door and obviously looked like first timers. A guy comes over and introduces himself as the owner. He proceeds to give us the rundown on the menu and how the place works. Dude was super friendly and genuine. It was lunchtime so we decided to split the two-meat plate. Ordered some ribs and brisket, flanked with the Asian slaw and cheesy potatoes. After assembling a sampling of the sauces, we sat down and waited. In less than five minutes our food was brought out. Everything on the plate was outstanding and all of the various sauces each had a distinct, rich flavor. We liked the sauces so much that I went back up and ordered some fries to keep dipping away. I give it a 10 out of 10. Great staff, great service, and great food. We'll be back. And I was right. We came back. This time we split another two-meat plate and the smoked/fried bologna sammich. Nice portion of bologna and peppers on the sammich. Perfect! The corn casserole is like dessert. 10/10 again. My sister and brother-in-law stopped over based on my recommendation and agree with my rating.

I got the pulled pork sammich with a side of baked beans. The food was top notch delicious. The employees were great. The place is very clean. You can see what the place looks like from my pictures. We went across the parking lot to their ice cream shop. That was some very good ice cream as well. Love it. I highly recommend going to Cockeye BBQ.

We heard about this place, so we went. We were not disappointed. Some great BBQ. Their baked beans are the best I’ve tasted. We tried lot of things and they were all awesome. The owner came and talked with us which helped make our visit a great experience. Thanks for a great meal.
