No offense. You don't go to Kansas City for seafood, and you don't come to Providence for BBQ. Get some Italian, Portuguese, or deep-fried seafood. Any BBQ in this area is a rip-off of some other region's style.

​

Edit: if you're considering Portuguese, take a car to Fall River and go to Sagres. It doesn't get better than that.

No offense taken. Best seafood places in RI is something relatively easy to google and I did already do a search on this sub. Best BBQ in the New England area wasn't so easy to find. I love seafood and plan to try a lot (have had some already). Just thought it would be fun to see what the locals think is good BBQ. Come to KC and I will tell you what we consider "good" seafood and would love to hear your thoughts (I know ours is worse).

I just want to reiterate. It's not something people talk or think about a lot in terms of foodin the US. But if you're in the Northeast get some Portuguese food. It doesn't have to be seafood, you can get a nice steak or pork. It's among the best cuisine in the world (just ask the big shot gamblers in Macau). There aren't many places in the country that will have better Guese food than Providence/Fall River/New Bedford/Cape Cod. Anthony Bourdain frequented these places and for those of us in the know, it's often a weekly outing. You can't go wrong with a Portuguese Ribeye.

If you're looking for a spot in the broader new England area, BT's smokehouse in Sturbridge MA. Hands down the best BBQ i've had. They've won a bunch of awards and shown up on "best in USA" lists. If you're beer drinkers, it's BYOB and right near yankee spirits, which has a beer section the size of some grocery stores
