Coming from 6/10 towards 95n google maps often tells me to get off at the atwells exit and drive through fed hill to get on the highway

I will second Great Northern. They do a great job of doing their own thing and definitely don't try and be something they are not. I would say they are a good example of "local" New England BBQ.

Funny, I thought it sucked on Thayer and actually like it now. I blame the magic spirits of the Satin Doll.

Knead has the best approximation of a mom and pop donut shop menu here although it is pricey. They have a good basic glazed and decent cake donuts. I have tried every donut shop in the state and they are not the same as what I imagine you are looking for. Been looking for years and unfortunately you won’t find it. The northeast in general is a tough market for donuts- Dunkin’ has such a stranglehold on the entire region. The closest I have found in the entire northeast overall is Peter Pan but that’s in NYC.

You won’t find anything that compares, BBQ is not in the DNA. If you insist, I can tell you Durk’s is not the place for you.

If you're looking for a spot in the broader new England area, BT's smokehouse in Sturbridge MA. Hands down the best BBQ i've had. They've won a bunch of awards and shown up on "best in USA" lists. If you're beer drinkers, it's BYOB and right near yankee spirits, which has a beer section the size of some grocery stores

Thank you - sad, yet an opportunity that hopefully someone can not mess up.

They were probably trying to find the $$$$ to do so. It’s not rocket science.

Listen, it’s not going to be like Kansas City BBQ. We simply aren’t known for that lol but I’d recommend Chester’s BBQ in Groton CT. My fiancé loves seafood and I hate it so we have this seafood issue a lot. For a quick bite, Fred Shanty’s in New London Ct down by the water. For a restaurant with seafood and Non seafood options: anywhere in mystic CT!!! Including our faves: red 36 and S &P Oyster bar. Also, on the waterfront in new london CT. Definitely check out mystic while you’re hear! Sounds like you’ve seen a lot of Rhode Island and mass! What a fun trip! Enjoy!

There is no good bbq in Providence. The closest awesome bbq is BT’s Smokehouse in Sturbridge, Ma. It’s definitely as good as a lot of bbq I’ve had while visiting the south. Treehouse brewing is one of the top rated breweries in the country and is close by, and BTs is byob. So yeah, if you want good bbq then spend an afternoon out there.

As many others have said, Rhode Island isn’t really known for its BBQ. Try branching out. We are known for our seafood, but if your fiancé doesn’t like that your best bet is either Italian or Portuguese food. For the former, Federal Hill. For the latter, literally anywhere in East Providence. Glad you’re liking it here. Have fun!

On their website, they do say that they cook the dishes of their home countries of Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
So it looks like both Cambodia and Thailand are correct.

A lot of people have recommended against bbq but if you insist, BTs Smokehouse in Sturbridge MA is about the best in new england and it's an hour drive from PVD in the opposite direction of cape cod. There's also Sweet Cheeks in Boston, if you like to sit in traffic and pay $25 for parking. As for cape cod, it's worth the time to trek to the outer Cape and visit the upper reaches of the national seashore. There are some great walks in Wellfleet, Eastham, and Provincetown which are especially beautiful this time of year.
