Located in Trumbull County, Cockeye BBQ opened in 2015 with the Creamery following in 2019. The Hoover family owns and operates the company which has grown to include Franky’s Pizza and Deli which opened in 2024, then adding a second Creamery location in Canfield in 2025. Cockeye BBQ is a chef-owned scratch kitchen restaurant that believes in real cooking by real people. The Creamery makes super premium ice cream by hand with flavors that are constantly changing.
Cockeye BBQ & Creamery is always focused on using fresh and local ingredients when they are in season. Both the restaurant and creamery feature new special flavors and options every week while constantly changing and sourcing locally whenever possible. In 2026, the Hoover family is planning on opening its fifth restaurant in Howland, Ohio.
