    This was our first time trying this barbecue place, and unfortunately it will also be our last. We did a pickup order and stood at the counter for almost five minutes without anyone acknowledging us. The sign posted at the register saying "My name isn't hello" only added to the unwelcoming atmosphere. I understand places get busy, but basic customer service and hospitality still matter, specially at a restaurant with southern food. To make matters worse, the food itself was mediocre and didn't make up for the poor experience. We do not recommend this place, and we will not be back.

    Stepping into Becky's, you immediately feel that it's more than just another BBQ spot -- there's a genuine warmth and authenticity in the atmosphere. The food absolutely lived up to the hype! I went with takeout, and it was every bit as delicious as dining in. The wings were the real standout -- incredibly tender and packed with flavor -- but the brisket sandwich deserves plenty of praise too, perfectly sized and full of smoky goodness. Overall, the meal was outstanding. The homemade, comforting flavors left me completely satisfied... and happily in a full-on meat coma by the end of the night!

    RI Food Fight- Lord of the Wings review 2025: BECK WITH THE GOOD WINGS! The setting: a cold, snowy January day where 3 couples have opted to have an adult wing day! Becky's was stop #3. PSA: no booze here. Super small location. I assume they can only fit a max of 20 people (and this number might be generous.) The people were SUPER nice! The owner promoted the raspberry chipotle sauce. We were Sweet Bourbon. The wings are smoked for a long time and fried as well. The wing is a good wing! Meaty and not too over smoked (I bet the frying helped there.) The sauce was up my alley but I would have loved to tried their other flavors as well. This was the wing winner of the day (we hit 6 places that day.) My Becky's win: THE CORNBREAD! It came without butter and I immediately churned in my seat but I totally judged a book by it's cover. Super moist! No butter or anything needed! AMAZING. Also, they do not have pecan pie. Theya re under new ownership and this is not a aprt of their menu so disregard those pecan pie photo's on Yelp.

    I think 4 stars is accurate. The service was so friendly and quick! The location is also right off the road with some parking and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is very small. We got the two plate two side with pulled pork and chopped brisket and it was a little dry. It was the end of the day but I was a little disappointed. The sides are what stole the show. I really enjoyed the corn bread and the baked beans. The beans were delicious it's definitely a must try! Overall an ok place in a town full of very pricy options so this one is better if you're trying to save!

    Service/ambience: the place is a small but very well kept and clean house. The cashier was very nice and welcoming; reminding me a very southern hospitality. While I waited the cashier struck a conversation as well as brought me a fresh piece of brisket out of the smoker. Food: man oh man, you the food touched my soul as I took each bite from the brisket, Mac and cheese, smashed potatoes, the corn bread and the smoked wings. To be honest, I didn't have high hopes coming into the restaurant but after indulging in the food, let me tell you: Newport being off the coast and being a lobster town, I highly suggest you at least try this place!! All of the food was flavorful, seasoned appropriately and the cornbread was rich and NOT dry. Must try!

    Came here with #rifoodfights #lordofthewing tour. Had the sweet burbon flavored sauce. Wings were decent. Also had pulled pork with their mac and cheese, smashed potatoes, and cornbread. Food was tasty, but was cold. We had food not long enough on table to be cold. Tasty yes, but would have been better hotter. Cute little place inside and funny signs throughout.

    I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Becky's yet, as I have been coming here for years now. Before COVID, they would even cater for my office, and were definitely one of the office's most favorite restaurants for lunch. This most recent trip I finally tried their ribs. Being from Kansas City, I am a bit of a rib snob, so I have held out all this time. Let me say that I deeply regret holding out! Their ribs are so tender, and have the perfect amount of smoked flavor as well. I will have a hard time ordering anything else now. Definitely some of the best ribs in New England! So not to neglect the rest of the plate, these amazing ribs also come with two sides, I chose their amazing beans and delicious potato salad. Also, a bbq restaurant is simply not legit without giving you cornbread with your meal. As with the rest of their food, Becky's cornbread is amazing as well. If you can't tell, I am a huge Becky's fan, and if you go there I can assure you that you will be as well! Due to COVID, they are takeout only, but their food is well packed and still hot when you get to where you are going!

    This is our go-to for takeout BBQ. Be sure to order the baked beans, which are as good as the dish gets anywhere in the world.

    As I was looking for a place to have a nice dinner with a few coworkers, Wharf Southern Kitchen and…read moreWhiskey Bar ABSOLUTELY caught my eye. First of all, let's talk about the space. Nestled in the Wharf, it was a cute little place with both an up and downstairs. We reserved a spot for around 5:30 (in April) and it was pretty open. There weren't too customers yet, and it was nice and quiet. If you're looking for a ton of space for the seating area, I will say that there isn't too much room/it's pretty nice and cozy! At Wharf Southern Kitchen and Whiskey Bar, they've got a line of booths along the wall, a bar area right in the center and at the actual bar, a high top, another bar at one of the entrances, and a table that seats six. Now let's chat about the service. Our waitress was wonderful, patient, and was extremely helpful when asked questions and also gave SUCH wonderful suggestions. There were MANY fantastic choices on their menu and I was having a pretty difficult time narrowing down which one I really wanted, but with our waitress's help, I was able to choose pretty quickly (and they were AMAZING choices!) Now the food! The wait for the food honestly wasn't that long, and when we got it, we ABSOLUTELY CHOWED... -The Crispy Chicken Bites were AMAZING! I ended up upgrading to the Buffalo Style, and it DID NOT disappoint at all! The Bleu Cheese crumbles were just the perfect amount, and the Buffalo sauce was JUST enough to still enjoy the crispiness of the chicken. I DID ask for ranch on the side, and that just was *chef's kiss*! -I've never had fried pickles before, but I certainly have never seen a restaurant do it with whole pickles. Though it was my first time trying fried pickles, it tasted great! I wouldn't say it's anything special, but it's a great, and lighter on the fried side, appetizer! -I was having a hard time choosing what entree to enjoy, but I'M SOOOO glad that I went with the Smoked Brisket Chopped Cheese! I'm not a big brisket girl, but I will say that this was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! At first when it came out on the bun, I was a little skeptical of how it would taste, but it definitely didn't disappoint! The brisket was cooked SO well with the perfect amount of seasoning, and it all just melted so perfectly together as I was eating it. And the tater tots were SO AMAZING (though on the saltier side) and SO perfectly crispy. I've only got great things to say about Wharf Southern Kitchen & Whiskey Bar & I WILL be back here/will suggest it to my friends visiting Newport one day!

I personally liked the pork and chicken bowls the best -- both had good flavor and were enjoyable. The steak, however, wasn't my favorite. It was pretty tough and seemed overcooked. On the bright side, the plantains were cooked perfectly and had an excellent flavor. Service was fast, which we appreciated, and they had a solid drink selection. We tried the local sweet tea, which was a nice touch. While this visit was a bit hit or miss food-wise, there's enough potential that we'd probably come back and try the burritos or tacos next time.

I was out of state and wanted to surprise my daughter with a grinder platter, and Kevin truly went above and beyond to make it happen. It was a last-minute request, and Kevin still took the time to put everything together and personally deliver it. To make things even more impressive, there was a huge parade happening in town, which could have easily made delivery impossible. Instead, Kevin planned ahead and brought it earlier so he could get through the crowds and make sure my daughter still received the surprise. My daughter was so ecstatic and happy when she got it. Moments like that mean so much, especially when you're far away and trying to do something special for your child. The food was amazing, but what stood out even more was the kindness, dedication, and customer service Kevin showed. Businesses like this are what make a community special.
