I pulled up right when they opened to get that fresh, hot food. Soon as I walked in, the vibe was on point--good music, welcoming decor, and just that feeling that you know the food's gonna be fire. I grabbed a seat and looked over the menu. Couldn't decide between the chicken or shrimp... so I went with both. No regrets. My plate came with mac and cheese that was creamy and flavorful, and the collard greens? Perfectly seasoned, just how I like them. The cornbread was soft and buttery, and the sweet tea hit just right. Solid 10/10 on the food--nothing but goodness. Only downside? The customer service. My waitress made me come up to her to place my order--and it wasn't even busy. That was the only thing that threw me off. Other than that, it was a whole win #goodeatsinct #soulfood #providence #Rhodeisland #geegeesoutherncusine #travelingandeating #makeitcount #goodfoodgoodmood

"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."

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!

After a long night of dancing and drinks at Brown's annual Reunion Weekend, our group of twelve was…read morehungry for some good old fashioned comfort food. Some people in the group reminisced about their times in college where they would indulge in BBQ in the wee hours of the morning. At around midnight on a Saturday, we opted to return to Wes's to see if anything had changed: when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised for the better. Nestled in Providence's Olneyville neighborhood, boasts a distinctive exterior featuring a combination of brick and dark siding. Prominent red lettering displays the restaurant's name and its establishment year, 1973, with a modern-industrial appearance. Inside the restaurant, Wes' Rib House has undergone significant renovations to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interior features high ceilings with exposed ductwork, large windows that allow natural light to flood the space, and a mix of wooden and industrial design elements. The dining area includes a bar with metal paneling and an orange accent wall, contributing to a cozy yet modern ambiance. Additionally, there's a music area upstairs, providing a great setup for live performances. At around midnight, we were one of a few parties in the space: there's also a karaoke bar where we heard people loudly singing, which was quite entertaining! As a large party, we ordered multiple platters to share: we first opted for two Munchie Platters ($19.99 each), which come with buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, onion rings, and waffle fries. There was a good sampling of finger foods to try, and we particularly enjoyed the crispy onion rings and waffle fries (the buffalo wings lacked meat and flavor). We then opted for two Family Combos ($94.99 each), which come with a full rack of ribs, 1/2 lb each of brisket and pulled pork, 2 half chickens, 3 pint sides (we chose coleslaw, mac and cheese, and pickles), and 4 pieces of cornbread. This is actually quite a lot of food, and we particularly enjoyed the ribs! They were quite meaty, tender, and great when paired with their tangy BBQ sauce. The brisket and pork were solid if not stellar: the brisket wasn't very tender, and the pork was lukewarm, so some of the fat had congealed, leaving an unpleasant texture. The half chickens were surprisingly moist and flavorful, although we would have preferred more crisp on the skin. The sides were fine, but we found the mac and cheese to be overcooked, and the coleslaw and pickles didn't taste very fresh (granted, it was probably what was left over at the end of the day). However, their cornbread was fluffy and just sweet enough - a treat when paired with butter! Overall, Wes's Ribs pleasantly surprised us with their renovations and food quality since the last time that some members of our party had dined there. Perhaps my rating of four stars is being pulled up from nostalgia's sake, but service was fast and friendly, the food was decent, and it's a fun place for a late-night BBQ session.

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!

We came to Pito's after having gone to La Gran Parada. I figured I'd try it since Yelp reviewers…read morewere comparing them. I liked them both. I thought the food was comparable. The main differences were; 1. While they are both cafeteria style, Pito's is a lot less crowded (mainly because they are a lot faster) 2. La Gran Parada has been remodeled and has a nice and big dining room. Pito's is more like a shabby little pizza joint 3. Pito's is cheaper (although they are both cheap). Ox tails in particular were cheaper. 4. La Gran Parada has more choices 5 Pito's only has street parking I think We tried the ox tails (rabo), pig's ears, stewed chicken and fried bananas with both white and yellow rice. It was all very good. Pig's ears is an acquired taste (actually more of an acquired texture as the sauce is what gives it taste). It is "blubbery" like tripe but can also be a bit grissly. It's definitely different but I liked it-maybe not enough to order it again though. Next time I want to try the chicharron which I love and compare it with La Gran Parada which was very good.

You get a small side cup for .50. They need to fill it up more tho as it's only 1/3 full. Love the flavor on it, it's citrus-y, vinegar-y, salty and just adds some more bang to the flavors!
