Rhode Island is certainly known for its seafood, and that makes perfect sense, considering we are the Ocean State. However, sometimes when you’re out and hungry, you find yourself in the mood for something different. Well luckily there is a lot of awesome and diverse cuisine to choose from here! If you find yourself perhaps craving some good old fashioned Southern food, then look no further, because we think we’ve found some of the best bar-b-que in Rhode Island.

Wes' Rib house is located at 38 Dike Street in Providence.

The first location opened up in 1973 on Broad street, and then ten years later Wes' moved to their current home.
With a large bar to sit at as well as comfy tables, this is a great spot to visit either solo or with a group of pals.
