I think so. They never totally reopened after lockdown. Then there was a chicken wing shortage and they said on their Facebook that they didn’t want to raise prices so for the time being they will not reopen. Kind of went silent after that. This is information relayed to me from my wife. I don’t know the full story but I know we only had boneheads maybe twice after lockdown. And it was takeout. We don’t even live in the state anymore. I was super disappointed we never got to sit down inside before we left.

Do you mean in Providence? The Tomaselli's on Oaklawn in Cranston now has different ownership and is awful compared to what it used to be

is boneheads closed now?

OP forgot the link. I don't know anyone affected by this but god damn do they have my support.

boneheads gave me food poisoning so glad it got shut down

if you go the opposite direction, you end up pretty close to the Dollar Tree in the Target plaza on Bald Hill Rd. too :)

Is this in reference to something specific?

GottaQ appears to have closed unfortunately

Ocean Mist

Even their food truck is gone? They were far and away the best I've had since I moving here from Kansas City, Missouri

I live by wing power. Will be trying them soon

You can't listen to the reccomendations of people who have never been where you've been. I learned this the hard way after moving out east years ago. We lived near the Twin Cities and had access to so much amazing food. Nothing, not even restaurants in Boston, have lived up to reccomendations.

I will say there's a place in CT called Oz N Bones that has decent BBQ. Is it as good as down south? No. But, it gets me my fix when I'm wanting BBQ and I'm in the area. I wouldn't drive more than about 30-45 minutes for it though, just being honest.

And this is why I avoid the 6/10 connector like the plague

Great Northern bbq in providence

Being a native of Kansas City, Missouri, the best I have found is GottaQ. The boneyard in seekonk runs a close second. However, most of the places around here are not consistent, and will be good one time and not so good the next.

BT’s smokehouse in Sturbridge Ma. Just voted best in MA. By food network. It’s amazing! Recommend the brisket Rueben.

Commonwealth BBQ in Wrentham is pretty good. Served out of an old gas station. They have East Carolina-style sauce as well as South Carolina-style in their lineup, which is nice.

While this is not a BBQ place, The Food Shack (formerly Flat Waves) in Middletown has delicious brisket and pulled pork bowls/burritos. It's more like Hawaiian BBQ.

I was super disappointed with their jerky-dry brisket. Might have hit them on a bad day but I'm not risking another $25 disappointment

I went there recently and the brisket was so overcooked I couldn't eat it. Durks or Goodstuff are my go tos.

same thing with sweet tea!! somehow it’s just not the same as even the worst tea id get down south!

and honestly i rarely drink sweet tea but sometimes you just get a craving you don’t understand

People downvote everything in this sub, it’s crazy.

More lanes needed clearly
