    Cajun fries and the Chicago dog.
    Lindsey D.

    Delicious, fresh hot dogs and fries. Quick friendly service!! I've had several items on the menu over the years and I haven't found anything I dislike.

    Standard dawg on left, Junk Yard dawg on right.

    I've been here half a dozen times now. The short: Nathan's 100% beef, 1/4 lb. hot dawggs are served here. It is my understanding that they are Gluten free (please verify for yourself as I am not the manufacturer). The fries, chili (which seems to be bean free (I haven't found one)), and clam chowder (weekends only I believe) are home made. I do not find the chili to be spicy, just flavorful (and delicious). The long: The hot dawgg is fatter than my thumb and fits the full length of a bun. Buns for the dawgg and burger come toasted (and they are perfectly done). So are the burgers and dawggs for that matter. Both are cooked to perfection leaving all the juices to be deposited on your shirt if you are not careful. Hot dog buns are not New England style (as you can see in the photos). If you order a Junk Yard Dawgg you can get a rewards card. Buy 9 Big Dawggs & get the 10th free. This particular dawgg is pretty much a meal in and of itself. This is a great concoction (it includes sauerkraut). My favorite version of this dog has always been found in NYC, but no more, this is waaay better). Plus the ham, the bacon, the peppers.... oh, it's sooo good........sorry for the delay, I was just lost in a day dream about it. As for the Taco Dawgg, it's covered in fresh veggies and I think it really works. Super delicious. The crunch of the Frito's really makes it. I'll be getting more in the future. The burger is a good size at 5oz and has a good beef flavor. Not some cheap hockey puck you get from some places. Had one with cheese & sautéed onions, not on the menu per se but owner was more than accommodating and pretty much will put anything together. They are very friendly, even the young one was courteous & smiled, and didn't look like a suicidal mope, totally opposite. Very nice to see that as a customer. I'm going to try a few more items over a period of time before I give it that last star. :-P

    Love that the kids have a place to play while dining--hot dogs, fries, mac n cheese,  and ice cream for today's summer lunch!

    Just not good. Fries are kinda soggy and undercooked. The dogs are not a good grade of meat and taste off.

We didn't do much research on which spots had the best ones. It was also past midnight, so we just chose a spot that was open late and close by. We ended up at Ben's Chili Dogs in downtown Newport. It's conveniently open until 2AM on weekends. The interior resembles that of your typical take out/fast food business. It's clean and has a few tables for dining in. It could use some TLC, though. The ceilings and walls could use more color and decor. It looked bare and sad. The menu is as straightforward as it gets. It focuses on hot dogs and your staple sides like fries and onion rings. They're known for their chili and hot cheese sauce toppings. Additionally, they also sell poutine, tater tots, soups, soft serve ice cream, and shakes. We ordered three different kinds: cheese dog ($2.99), chili dog ($2.95), The Works dog (~$3 for chili, mustard, onion, celery salt). We also ordered a small side of fries ($3.99). The hot dogs were just average, nothing to write home about. The presentation wasn't too appealing. I doubt they were freshly made. The buns were cold and smushed. I expected the meat to be super savory with a hint of smokiness, but it was bland. The hot cheese topping looked as if it was old and just reheated. It wasn't thick or saucy at all and had a texture similar to plastic. The fries were okay. They needed to be crispier. You might get better at 7-Eleven. I'm not a wiener snob nor am I from the area lol, so take my review with a grain of salt. Just expected more from a specialty hot dog joint.

    If you're looking for a fun, casual spot with great food and an even better drink menu, Wally's…read moreWieners is worth the wait. While they're known for their impressive selection of hot dogs, the menu also features delicious burgers, chicken sandwiches, turkey burgers, and crispy fries, so there's something for everyone. On this visit, we both opted for burgers. I had the Mushroom & Swiss Smash Burger, which was perfectly cooked with a flavorful, juicy patty and melted Swiss cheese. We shared an order of the crab fries, which were outstanding and easily enough for two. To wash it all down, I enjoyed a refreshing Dark & Stormy. One surprise was their espresso martini menu, featuring approximately seven different variations. It's a fun addition that sets Wally's apart from your typical burger and hot dog joint. Be prepared to wait for a table during busy times unless you're happy grabbing a seat at the bar. The food, drinks, and lively atmosphere make the wait well worth it.

Waiter was very nice and food came out fast. As a Rhode Islander, I will say I prefer my own Rhode Island Wieners back in Woonsocket but it was still good. Food is pretty affordable for being in Newport. I will say bathroom didn't have soap and window sills/some tables were a bit dusty. Will still come back though!
