Tue Oct 23 12:21:16 -0700 2007 93038 intheq 1 3059989 Check out the New England board. Plenty of suggestions.

They have great BBQ and a dinner special during the week (that includes wine and dessert) for only $15. The ribs are great and so is the pulled pork....they also have realllyyyy good brunch Another BBQ place in Providence is Wes Rib House. Its located on a back street in the Olneyville section of Providence. On weekends its open past 3 am - and the gigantic charred ribs are smoky and slathered in sauce...(this place is kinda off the beaten path, but definately something worth checking out) Another low key favorite is Murphy's Bar downtown. The reubens are comparable to the carnegie deli (although, not as big) but definately as tasty...it might be lacking in atmosphere - but, its affordable and right downtown... Bon Appetit!

It's good food, good prices, and I always feel really relaxed whenever I go in there. The wraps are great, but I stay away from the pressed sandwiches (they're not too exciting). And the Ropa Vieja stew is delicious!

Also try the fried plantains and empanadas... yum! Fri Oct 26 07:39:49 -0700 2007 3061928 20318 malyna
