Johnny’s Victory Diner is a classic American diner during the week and a great BBQ joint on Fridays. They serve pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and other fare from a barrel smoker out back. The place has been open since the 1930s, and it's been voted Rhode Island's best BBQ despite only serving Southern barbecue on Fridays, which should tell you all you need to know about this local favorite.
Even if you happen to miss the barbecue on Fridays, it's still worth a visit, as their diner fare is said to be just as great as the barbecue.
