One of the most Rhode Island treats out there is a stuffed quahog, more often known as a stuffie. These tasty treats are offered all around the state and are absolutely worth a try if you’re not already indoctrinated into the stuffie cult. Since stuffies are so Rhode Island, it’s pretty easy to find a good one, but a few really stand out to us, especially the ones at Red Bridge Tavern in East Providence.
Red Bridge Tavern is a cozy little spot perfect for an intimate meal for two or a night out with pals.

The stuffies are the star of the show here though! At only $3.25 each - though they are sizable - it will be hard to eat just one.

The stuffies are a classic mix of chopped quahog, crab, and shrimp, held together with breadcrumbs and a scrumptious seasoning mix.

It would be easy to make a meal of these unbeatable stuffies, but if you’ve had a few and are searching for something else to try, the menu is packed full of delectable seafood options. From scallops and baked scrod, to shrimp scampi, Red Bridge Tavern is practically overflowing with the flavors of the sea.

We also recommend saving some room for a hearty dessert. Options can change but look out for items like this berry tart, a brownie sundae, or even a decadent Maria cake.
