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.

360 Burger | Cambridge

Executive chef Steve Wagner opened this Cambridge burger spot six years ago as another outlet to showcase the beef from Red

Hill Farm. (He is also executive chef at Bear’s Den Steakhouse in Cambridge.) The farmhouse-chic styling of 360 Burger pays homage to the farm, with framed photos of cattle and an old Red Hill Farm barn gate as decor. Order the 360 Burger, Wagner’s take on a smash burger with a special sauce made of mayonnaise, ketchup and pickles. Complete the meal by ordering a side of fries and a milkshake for that nostalgic blast of sweet, salty and savory. 11201 Cadiz Rd., Cambridge 43725, 740/435-0360, the360burger.com
