Bugg catered our party today and everyone there loved it all. He is wonderful to deal with and has top quality food. He also has a small place that serves food during the week and during the day and is worth going to. Thank you for making our party successful and for your hospitality and good food.

The staff was pretty friendly and my container was filled to the top with Mac n cheese however, the flavor was lacking for me and the macaroni was well past Al dente. When I got home I added cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Once I did that, it was sooo good minus the noodles being pretty soft. I feel like $8 is a bit excessive, for that reason I didn’t leave a tip because it’s like it was calculated into the food price. Personally, I wouldn’t get the Mac again but maybe I’d try the meats they have someday.

We were at a party last night and this amazing catered food was the highlight! The brisket was off the hook! I didn't try the bourbon chicken but the cornbread, spicy coleslaw and beans were so good we ate everything again for breakfast with some scrambled eggs on the side. And props to Bugg and his daughter, who are the most wonderful folks. Thank you both for an incredible dinner experience!

I work in the building where Bugg'd Out BBQ Cafe is located and the wonderful smells that fill the building from the delicious food tempts me daily! I've tried several of the offerings and have NEVER been disappointed. Today is loaded nachos, yams and mac n cheese :) All equally scrumptious. The Bourbon Meatballs are amazing! The staff is always very friendly and welcoming.

Bugged out BBQ hits a home run every time. This time I tried the bourbon chicken, Mac n cheese. Cornbread and rice, everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The chicken was moist and the sauce was a really nice touch and added depth, I would recommend and will continue to go back! Service was also top notch, nice family atmosphere!

Nestled in the heart of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, Bugg’d Outt Bbq Cafe delivers an authentic barbecue experience that keeps locals coming back for more. This unassuming spot at 191 Social St combines down-home flavors with warm hospitality, creating a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to savor each bite.

The true highlight here is the expertly smoked brisket—tender, flavorful, and rich with that signature smoky depth that defines great BBQ. Paired with classics like spicy coleslaw, cornbread, and slow-cooked beans, the meal becomes a satisfying celebration of Southern comfort food. The bourbon meatballs have earned a devoted following, perfectly balancing a subtle sweetness with a savory punch, while sides like loaded nachos and candied yams add delightful contrasts in texture and flavor.

It’s clear that the passion behind the food shines through in every dish served. The friendly and attentive staff, including Bugg and his daughter, enhance the experience by making you feel part of the family. Though some dishes like the macaroni and cheese may inspire a personal twist—as one customer found by adding spices—the overall quality and heart poured into the food stand out.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual weekday lunch or catering a special event, Bugg’d Outt Bbq Cafe offers an inviting blend of homestyle recipes and genuine care. It’s a gem for those craving authentic, flavorful barbecue in a cozy, neighborhood setting.
