Wes rib house sucks

Agree with everything you said. I found this place out in Scituate that’s decent but it’s pretty far away from me and not cheap.

Look, you’re going to find fairly acceptable BBQ but this is like asking where to find the best chowder and clam cakes in Texas. It’s just not right.

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

LJ's used to be pretty good when they were at their original shithole location in Providence but went on a slow steady decline after they moved to the little strip mall off of East Ave in Pawtucket right near the Providence line. Prices kept going up and quality down and they finally folded.

I figured that was who you meant, glad to see that someone else still remembers them.

Married couple owned the place and they both worked there, LJ were the initials of the wife's 1st name.

They are sweethearts. Used to go to LJ’s often. My friend used to live one door down from their original place and sitting in his apartment smelling that food while baked off our asses was bliss and torture.

I was one and done with Durks, back when it was on Thayer street. They had the balls to charge $4 for a single half of a sweet potato, and the 4 of us tried almost everything on the menu, and we weren't impressed

Burnt ends are basically impossible to find here. It's a damn shame.
