23 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Providence

“I work at the terrydiddle farm wedding and event venue and durks bar-b-Q catered a wedding for the couple that got married at the venue. The food was fabulous the presentation was second to none and all this was done with a single person running the whole catering event . We had the pleasure of Jason catering all by himself and let me tell you he was so professional and his service was tremendous. Our whole staff was floored by the totally amazing job from start to finish Jason did . It was an absolute pleasure to have Jason and durk bar-b-q here tonight . Thank you again“

“Went here today with friends. We had a great time. The drinks are great! The vibe is great. The best thing I had was the burnt ends nachos. They are probably the best nachos I have had period. My only complaint was the bbq sauce was a little sweet for my liking on the brisket plate, but that is a personal preference ( it was still fresh and tasty). Again…. These nachos are so amazing!“

“I had a worse experience with this place today. I asked the server what they had for well-done meat, and she gave the option between sirloin or brisket, I closed sirloin. They put brisket in my to-go container. When I sat down to eat, I found out that they put brisket and not sirloin. I was not even able to swallow that meat because it was so hard! They gave me the worst experience, when I spoke to them, and requested to change it, the grill man held my plate hostage, so to speak, and removed the brisket, it took so long for them to replace it, and I left with no meat on the plate. Be aware if you ask for sirloin they will give brisket!“

“I was under the impression that Wes’ Rib House was permanently closed as were several of my friends. Recently though, I was in the Olneyvillre neighborhood so I drove into their parking lot and it was open, It turns out they are open everyday, Monday through Sunday, 11;30 am until 2 am.

I took a menu and ended up coming back for dinner a couple of days later. The dining room is basically the same as before. I was never a fan of the stark, almost institutional feeling the place had, but, they have managed to soften it a bit. I’m not sure how, maybe an improved lighting set-up, whatever they did has improved the ambiance but IMO there is a vast amount of improvement that is still possible. But, if you put that short coming to the side, the place is nearly perfect. The food is fantastic, absolutely superb. Between my friend and I we sampled several different dishes and they were all outstanding. The service was terrific too. Granted, it was not that crowded when we were there but we were very well looked after. There was a very genuine feeling of wanting to please us. They could not have been nicer. I highly recommend the classic half rock of pork ribs accompanied by onion rings. They were extra yummy!!’“

“Excellent service Food delicious“

“I used to go here all the time when I was a student in RI. Came back for a weekend visit and had to stop and get some good food! It did not disappoint!! I will be back soon for another plate! Thank you guys for being a home away from home while I was a student!“

“The stone bowl bibimbap is a must. I get the spicy chicken and it's well worth it. The ddaekbokki is also amazing. The yakisoba is a skip, and same with the cheesling wings. I tried these two and the yakisoba was pretty bland and the wings were too powdery and not so flavorful. The service is mediocre with plastic utensils and the employees can be standoffish but the food is great, although the entire restaurant is in a basement.“

“Fantastic BBQ joint. The pulled pork was delicious and the couple of sauces we tried were fantastic. The sweet apple sauce was a little sweet for me, but my wife loved it. I really liked the sweet heat sauce, which carried just enough kick to call it “heat”.

The potato salad and Mac and cheese sides were huge! You could easily split a sandwich and each order a side and be very satisfied. Potato salad was exactly what you’d expect at a BBQ place, as was the Mac. My Mac had some sweet heat drizzled on top and it was really a great addition.

The seating seems like an afterthought and that they really want you to take your food home, but there was a good amount of it and we had no problem eating in the shop.“

“I would rate this place 4.5. Pupusas were delicious and freshly made. I had a taco de tripa, mixto and carnitas. I ordered 4 tacos but realized when I got home that they only gave me 3. The tacos were good, very delicious. Definitely order ahead.“

“The Cultro Food Truck is exceptional! I wanted something unique for my husband's 40th birthday at our home. We invited about 40 people, some with young kids, who have a variety of food tastes, preferences, and diets. We decided a food truck would be a fun choice. They were patient with my requests and inquiries. The day of the party, everyone was thrilled with the variety of options and delicious flavors. The team set up well before our guests arrived and were lovely to interact with. I am so glad we went with this option for catering our event. And now my family will be looking to see where the truck will be when we get hungry for pork belly, empanadas, rice bowls and more! Highly recommend when you see them or for a function at your home or work!“

“Server Britney was great. Food was ok but having a great server made experience good“

“love their food! The pizza is the best in town in my opinion!!!“

“Keane’s donated sandwiches to the nonprofit RI Envirothon event today, which first of all is incredibly generous. But secondly, instead of “just” being ham, turkey, and baba ganoush sandwiches, these were legit SEVERAL NOTCHES above. Avocado, flavored mayo, fresh cheeses. Delish. I’d definitely trust Keane’s to cater an upcoming event. And THANK YOU, Keane’s, for your generosity. 🙂“

“A cool, comfortable atmosphere, good food and Jordan, our server, was phenomenal!“

“Always a great experience and amazing food! Weekend ribs are amazing--smoky and delicious with their signature BBQ sauce! Be sure to order early as they always sell out, but worth the effort. If you can't get the ribs, I HIGHLY recommend the burgers. I know what you are thinking, but this is not just Mexican food. Nacho Mamas has THE best burgers anywhere.“

“Everything was decent had the turkey sandwich lunch special tasted good and price was reasonable. Fries were terrible soggy and greasy asked for new plate and was brought to me but were the same.???So service with Jess at the bar 5⭐️hostess for getting me new fries 5⭐️ They even took the soup off the bill. Keep up the good work front end. Back end stop cooking fries too long and reheating them in grease!!!“

“My wife and I both had the beef tips cooked to perfection so tender and the onions and mushrooms in the gravy sauce only added to the taste of the tips. The brussel sprouts were marinated ànd roasted. What a unique flavor they had, soooo good. The restaurant was very busy and for good reason. The food the chefs prepare is Awesome. Great job kitchen staff. Our waiter was very good and attentive. I wish I could remember his name to give him an attaboy. Overall we'll be back there again soon. Chris from Lincoln RI.“

“Great wings great people the owner is a awesome dude will be back again“

“New menus, clean atmosphere, and a few changes recently, has brought back a restaurant I thought was in the coffins of times. Steaks were higher quality than Outback and Texas Roadhouse by ten fold.
Thankfully a steakhouse that has figured out how to serve the customers again. 10/10
Recommendation? Get the Outlaw Ribeye!! And I love the new twist to the cactus blossoms.“

“Our family recently had the pleasure of dining at Longhorn Steakhouse, Bald Hill Road, Rhode Island, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of fantastic! Our server, Mike, provided us with outstanding service throughout our meal. His attentiveness, friendly demeanor, and extensive knowledge of the menu really enhanced our dining experience.

Even when we encountered a small issue with one of the plates, both Mike and Manager Chris handled the situation with grace and professionalism. They quickly addressed our concerns and ensured we were completely satisfied, going above and beyond to make us feel valued as customers.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect backdrop for our evening. It’s clear that both Mike and Chris genuinely care about their guests, and their exceptional service truly made our night memorable.

I highly recommend Longhorn Steakhouse, Bald Hill Road, Rhode Island to anyone looking for great food and even better service. Thank you, Mike and Chris, for a wonderful dining experience! We can’t wait to return!“

“Great AYCE buffet. You cook your own.“

“Hate the name Lake Taco but had a wonderful dinner there. House made nachos and margaritas were a great starter and the taco salad with brisket was delicious . Service was excellent. Will definitely be returning.“

“Ordered take out.
My food was ready on time.
I ordered the 11 oz sirloin. It was nice and tender, med/rare .

Texas Roadhouse is known for their steaks but also their rolls and butter.
I really wish I could have gotten more cinnamon butter!“
