I've been to Becky's several times although they would not know me from a hole in the wall. Their…read morefood is awesome! Let me share with you what happened today. I had already gone to Benjamin's for my clams and oysters fix. I was looking for some ribs! Becky's is it go to. But I just wanted to sit down and eat in peace and have a glass of wine. No worries, RI is a BYOB state... So I asked where is the nearest liquor store and the woman behind the counter said right across the street. I put my order in, and left and got a beautiful bottle of wine to have with my dinner. When I came back I was told that that could not be consumed on the premises. It's against the law. ???? I have been to numerous restaurants in Rhode Island that offer BYOB. We had a lively discussion... what she was telling me was inaccurate but she did not want to hear it. I was perplexed. Why would they tell me that the liquor store was across the street knowing I was going there to pick up a bottle of wine? any event read the law but I'd love to hear your comments. Becky's: "There is no such thing as BYOB in Rhode Island; Rhode Island law doesn't allow it." That's incorrect. Rhode Island DBR expressly discusses legal BYOB establishments, and Middletown's ordinance expressly recognizes them One more famous Newport BYOB deserves mention: Winner Winner was repeatedly singled out as one of Newport's best BYOB restaurants--Condé Nast Traveler specifically described it as BYOB. However, because that information is older, I would call before bringing a bottle rather than tell you it's definitely still BYOB today.And there's an important point from our Becky's discussion: I found enough current BYOB restaurants in Rhode Island to make their statement that "there's no such thing as BYOB in Rhode Island" even more clearly wrong. If you'd like, I can broaden this beyond Newport County and find the 10 best BYOB dinner restaurants in all of Rhode Island,

Stopped in to grab some takeout on our way to a brewery in Bristol. If I was rating Becky's purely…read moreon the food I'd probably give it 4 stars but having only 1/2 the menu available on a Saturday was a bit disappointing and worthy of a slight deduction. The building is fairly small but there is some indoor seating available. The ambiance isn't much to look at but it seemed clean and was all that we needed since it was to-go. They have some plasticware and to-go containers for sauces which was helpful, but you'll need your own plates. Smoked flavors were spot on and the sauces were tasty. The prices were on par with most BBQ joints (brisket isn't cheap) but I got a pretty large chunk of inedible bark included. The ribs were good and the membrane was removed but slightly less meaty than others I've had. The kielbasa had great flavor and paired perfectly with the Carolina gold sauce. I would probably go back just for that! The only sides that were available were cornbread and beans. The cornbread was cake-like and moist. We didn't try the beans. Service was a normal Gen Z interaction IYKWIM. Overall, the food was pretty good and I wouldn't hesitate to get it again if in the area. Just wish they had the full menu available.

Its located on a plaza with parking lot available. The outside is decorated with purple graffiti style art.Inside is small and only has few seatings and a counter where you place your order. Looks like most people were ordering take outs. We went in and placed an order. I got the penny nuggs which came with their chicken nuggets topped with jalapeno ranch sauce, scallions, bacon bits, cheese, cilantro, and street corn. The flavor was good but chicken nuggets were dry and toppings and sauces were overwhelming. It seemed to be similar concept as loaded fries but chicken nuggets instead. Service was good and wait was not too bad about 15min or so. Overall it's an ok place. I think the idea is interesting but it was sad that their chicken nuggets were dry. I know it's gluten free and they use white meat but if they are selling chicken nuggets as their main menu i would expect them to be good on its own. I feel that topping and sauce was overwhelming and chicken nuggets themselves did not shine.

Orders some spicy nuggz and was grateful that I was advised that the jalapeno topping was not available due to running out. Just pleasant customer service. Wait time was good! My meal itself wasn't outstanding and meat was on the dry end. Meat was white and plenty crispy so the texture was present, but it wasn't my favorite or most unique meal ever. It's an ok spot but it's takes a big flavor punch for me to come back.
