I don't get the DenDen hype and I can think of a bunch of reasons it would suck for a celebration. The food is just ok but it's small portions for the pricing, the server doesn't place orders for the customer, you'll stand in the line to order AFTER waiting for your table, the tables are close together, they have punishment seating designed to get you to leave ASAP, and the employees look like their manager must poke and prod them with hot irons in the back because it feels miserable. It's probably better suited for a casual lunch than a longer dinner.

But most importantly, it ain't a BBQ joint with the grill on the table and you'll waste too much money on drinks! A total must for a birthday!

Edit: I'm not trying to take away anything fun. Folks love this place, but I threw in my two cents and I'm sorry for being so harsh. Definitely everyone should try it at least once, but I might not pick a celebration for my first time 🙂

The joke is that our barbecue ain't that good. Texans and Kansans don't often agree about barbecue, but you'll probably agree that even RI's best would be considered average in a place known for barbecue. I moved here from Texas almost 7 years ago, and the barbecue and chicken friend steak just don't scratch that itch. It's good, but folks are picky about barbecue. Thankfully you already hit all the best food spots! Good luck 😃
