From fried chicken to creative burgers to classic diner fare, check out these spots to grab a bite throughout Ohio’s Appalachian region.

Cockeye BBQ | Warren

Great barbecue takes a long time, and Cockeye BBQ’s 14-hour smoked pulled pork sandwich is an example of why it’s worth the wait. The lightly sauced pork shoulder is served with a dollop of creamy house slaw. If you’re willing to forgo the bun, the Mess Plate comes with the same pulled pork (this time topped with cheese and sauce) along with house-made macaroni and cheese, and onion rings. The Warren spot, which Erik and Stacey Hoover started in 2015, also has an outdoor seating option and on-site ice cream stand that make a visit all the sweeter. 1805 Parkman Rd.
