I?m not sure what I expected and I tried this place on a whim based on the 4+ rating, but I certainly didn?t expect what I got.... I ordered two sides and a 1/4 lb of brisket and pulled pork. When I got my food, everything was pulled. Even the brisket. I havenever, ever, in all the BBQ I?ve had, seen pulled brisket. The whole point of brisket is getting nice crisp outsides and tenderinsides. Pulling brisket ruins all of that texture and because it was mushy eviscerates any flavor from the rub. The pulled meatlooked like something that would scooped out of a ladle at a cafeteria. The only flavor came from the sauce, there was barelyany on the actual meat. I can?t say it made it any better though since it just felt like eating wet meat?the sides were fine.Very disappointing. If this is southern smoked bbq, I?m out. Read more
When my husband said he wanted bbq on our way out of Newport I rolled my eyes. I don?t go to coastal New England towns for BBQ... and I wasn?t expecting much in the way of quality BBQ. ?. I was utterly mistaken, this place slaps. Friendly staff, amazingbrisket, quick and professional service. My only regret is not getting the key lime pie, cooler heads prevailed while we wereordering and I bet if its anything like the brisket it was amazing too. Read more
Small joint, some of the best bbq I have had in the north east. Highly recommend to anyone that visits the area to get some.... Thank you for your outstanding customer service!!!! Read more
First, this is a converted house tucked a little back, so it looks like a house until you see the parking in back. The dining... room is the size of a large living room with 6 tables. You order at the counter. The people are friendly. The food comes outquick. Plenty of parking. The price is reasonable. But... The food isn?t very good. I measure a BBQ place by the pulledpork. I?ve always been of the mind that if you can?t make pulled pork, then the rest of your BBQ is out of the question. Thispulled pork looks like a wet meat patty. It?s already sauced and I swear they cooked a shoulder in a crock pot with storebought sauce. It has that overly sweetness that should never be on meat. The kind of stuff you get in Kraft cheap sauce. Thepotato salad is bland. Nothing special happening there. But it has those nice red potatoes and the celery is super fresh andcrispy which I really love. I?m not even going to get into the corn bread. If it?s the choice between here or fast food, Iwould say this is comparable. This is the stuff you may throw together from the grocery store processed foods for a quick meal. They could probably sell this potato salad at the store. It?s not bad, but it?s not good quality. Which I hate saying,because I want to like this place. Everything is great except the food. That?s why I gave them 3 stars. But I would not eathere again. Read more
Becky's BBQ is amazing. It's in a quaint little house that doesn't look like much, but trust me it's to die for. They let their... chicken and pork marinate for 18 hours and the BBQ sauce is top notch. They have pulled pork sandwiches, pulled chickensandwiches and they have beef options as well. Their mash potatoes have a perfect amount of butter and garlic which goes wellwith the corn they have too. Also, 99 cents for a decent slice of their delicious corn bread is so worth it. Just heads upthough, the inside is small so careful with big groups. If you want to feed a bunch of people just order it to go. Read more
Good but not great. The pulled pork and the brisket had the sauce mixed in which really hides the smoke flavor. The pulled pork... was more of a paste than just shredded. The ribs were good but not much bark which is something I look for. The entrance is inback and is easy to see from the parking area behind the building. Friendly staff. Read more
I?ve tasted bbq all over the states and this is worst bbq I?ve ever had in my life. No seasoning what so ever and the side... tasted microwaved. The only flavor I received was from the bbq sauce. It didnt even smell like bbq was cooking when I arrived. Read more
