I also ordered the 10pc honey garlic wings and to drink, a strawberry and a blueberry lemonade. Mac N Cheese - Very dry, not bad tasting but definitely not creamy like I'm used to and I'm from the south. Collard Greens - Great taste, but nothing stood out about them. Not Amazing, but not bad. Cabbage - Cooked to perfection. No complaints. Yams - Again, nothing special, not bad, but not great. Cornbread - Good! Nice and moist. Honey Garlic chicken - Nothing really bad to say. I did enjoy the amount of sauce and that the wings were fried hard like I typically order them. Flavored Lemonades were amazing! If I do go back, it will be for those. I ordered from Door Dash, so I did not go in the establishment or get to interact with the employees.

This was like $60 in food. And the oxtail was my husbands food and he doubled down that it just wasn't enough protein for what it cost. The greens were good but needed salt. The Mac wasn't cheesy. The rice was super good and my chicken was also good. But a little dry. The broad street location off little Italy has not "dedicated parking" we just live close so we walk. They have music and events sometimes I hear. They don't answer the phone when they're busy lol so be aware for take out. I didn't pick up the food though, he did ; so I can't comment on the service correctly. * Jerk chicken * Ox tail * Greens * Mac * Rice and beans

We arrived there about 1.5 hours before it closing. We got lucky and found street parking in front of the restaurant. You can sit down and eat here. The lady that helped us was very friendly yet warned me that she had only 1 chicken left (jerk chicken). I decided to get it with the sauce, on top of rice and peas and cabbage. In all honesty, I've tried jerk chicken in the Bay Area and even as far as Springfield, Massachusetts. This location was okay. The chicken quarter was very dry but the sauce was really good which made up for it. On top of that, I wanted to try the oxtail stew but $18 for a small was outside of my budget. I did try a bite of my partner's beef patty was it was delish. Aside from that, the restaurant was empty when we were there. We got to sing in our seats while we waited for our food since they were playing oldschool 90's rnb music. I was definitely vibing. 4/5 stars for me. I would've rated it a 5 if the chicken wasn't tough and dry.

"Menu please?" "Of course. Specials are on the board, what will you have for a drink?" "I'll have a Canadian Club Manhattan." "How about Rittenhouse Foo?" "Sounds good Antonio, best bartender but how about Crown Royal?" "Foo, relax, I'll make you a nice drink," said Antonio. "Hey Antonio," Foo says, "I'll have a cheeseburger, medium, no bacon, fries is okay." As Antonio put down my Manhattan I told him that I was at 22 Bowen's and ran into Chef Eric. Antonio said Eric invented the grind ratios for the Slow Rhode burgers. "Well, Foo believes you best burger in city. Not in state but in city," said Foo. Antonio said, "Who best in state?" Foo, me, the reviewer of the review leaned back in the barstool, looked around the funky ambiance space, and stroked the long scraggly beard Foo tries to grow and said, "I believe best burger is Clarke Cooke House on English muffin with the Gorgonzola." "Really?" "Yes, but one that beats that is Newport Creamery Big Beef patty melt!" "Yo homes, that's a tasty burger," said Antonio. "Righteous!" Foo yelled while giving daps and hugs to Antonio all while jamming a massive stack of grat, all tens, into his pocket and yelling, "My name Foo!" and disturbing the nice people at Slow Rhode.

The Slow Rhode has been on my radar since stumbling on a pop-up brunch there a few years ago. I've…read morebeen drooling over their social media posts ever since & was thrilled to finally get here. On a busy Saturday night, we were prepared to not find space, but gave it a shot. Luckily, there was a perfect corner of the bar had just opened & we grabbed the seats. The atmosphere was convivial, upbeat & super comfortable, despite the crowd. Service was fabulously friendly & competent - the bartender handling the packed house with ease. We decided to go with an array of small plates to try as much as possible. The menu it designed perfectly for grazing & the prices are super reasonable! The selections are definitely on the comfort-food side with a strong southern hint. Ingredients are often locally sourced - something I greatly admire. We began with the a small plate of Pimento Cheese Toast. Just a few bites each but a nice start. Duck Drumettes. The horseradish-y white sauce was delectable! Even my non-duck loving partner was blown away. I was happy to hear that the salad was available in a half portion - enough for a light fresh break to our heavy selections. Next came a much heavier choice - the gravy fries with duck confit. We left off the cheese, but it wasn't missed at all. These were decadent, delicious & super filling! Next time we'd get a half portion - that would have been plenty! Our final dish was the Shrimp & Grits, but we'd already filled up on the other dishes & ended up asking for this to go. Even reheated, it was a perfectly delicious accompaniment to our brunch the next day! I'd be tempted to order this to-go again for just that purpose. While we didn't imbibe, the cocktail list looked wonderful & the bar was very well stocked. We did enjoy a nice selection from the interesting beer list. The sandwiches that we saw come out looked delicious & huge! We'd love to try them as well. We will be back - this is certainly a new favorite for us!

RI Food Fight- Lord of the Wings 2025 Review:…read more First time ever at Wes'. I grew up hanging out with previous owners kids. The wing coupon brought me in. Off the beaten path, decent sized parking lot, inside is very modern. There were only like 2 people working on a Saturday night at 5pm. When we walked in we had to wait to be seated for 5 mins but the place was pretty empty?? Once seated, we placed an order for drinks. I went with a rum punch (it was advertised as moonshine but I asked for the liquor switch) and my husband eyes a posted $5 margarita sign. The drink was more liquor than punch. I like it the opposite way. My husband had no problems with the margarita's or the deal! The wings: we went boom boom sauce. It was a decent wing but the boom boom just didn't do it for me. It's me- not the sauce! Just not my jam. He told us it was like a Cajun ranch. I didn't find anything Cajun about it. We ordered mozzarella sticks (I don't think you can really mess up a mozzarella stick.), (2) cornbread's and 1 rib. The cornbread was ok. (With winging it, I have had a lot of cornbread around the state recently.) The rib was large! Overall this place is ok. My husband and I chatted as we pulled out: if we were in the area again we would hit it up again!

Wow! After reading so many reviews with a wide variety of ratings we didn't know what to expect,…read morebut our visit to Wes' was great. We used to frequent Wes' back in the 1990's, but hadn't been there since it reopened. We spoke with the owner today (who was also our server), and learned it recently changed hands again, so maybe the poor reviews were under the previous ownership. Our experience today was awesome as we really enjoyed the environment as well as the food. Wes's has its own parking lot, which is great since parking in Olneyville can be tough. The exterior of the building has been fixed up from the good old days, and when we went indoors, we were very impressed with how the interior has been renovated as well. New windows, new furniture, new bathrooms, and everything is spotlessly clean. Menu choices are great with fair pricing, and service was prompt with just the right amount of attentiveness. We were using our RI Food Fight sandwich coupons and were given three choices: pulled pork, fried chicken, or the All-American burger. We went with the pulled pork and the burger. Both were served on good rolls that didn't fall apart, and both were nice and big with plenty of meat. The burger had a delicious smokey taste and the pulled pork was tasty as well. We did not use any extra bbq sauce, but we did see a bottle of what looked to be house-made sauce on another table. In addition we split corn bread and sweet fried plantains and really enjoyed both sides. Wes' is still working on obtaining a liquor license (should be soon!), so we ordered sodas and were impressed by the large cups. We also checked out the arcade game area, which looked fun, and the additional seating room upstairs which includes a small stage. The new owner told us that they host karaoke and trivia, and this room looks perfect for these types of entertainment. We loved that the event space is separate from the main dining room as oftentimes it's tough to eat dinner and converse while other events are happening, and it looks like this won't be a problem at Wes'. We would like to wish the new owner lots of success - Thanks for bring Wes' back to life and we hope to return soon!

Food choices galore either out side on the sidewalk under umbrellas or inside where lighting was perfect. I had the Tres Leches French Toast and almost ordered another batch to take home & have tomorrow morning!

One daughter had the Eggs Benedict & took home what she couldn't finish...the other had the Graduate Bowl & there wasn't a speck left. My son in law had the Black Bean breakfast burrito & even after worrying about it being heavy, finished it off like a trooper and my youngest's fiancé had the Salmon Benedict, which he also cleaned his plate. The Party Pat comes highly recommended as well as a cocktail...Espresso, Jameson Cold Brew and Bailey's yum yum!
