Our 5 hot dogs, a fry and a cheeseburger was just over 40! True score: 3.5

When we first walked in, we saw…read morea wall full of pictures of lovely dogs to the right, a bunch of different and unique plants on the left and scattered throughout, but of course we kept walking to get to what we were there for: hot dogs. The person who took our order was very personable and cleared the air that County Fare Too Coney Island Hot Dogs and Country Fare are not affiliated. They had a couple of different hot dog styles but I went with the Madagascar one (I think that was the name), with chorizo. Double the mystery meat felt like it would be the best or worst decision of my life and it turned out to be pretty good. Not overwhelming, but very savory and the bun was soft. They have a booth and a few stools along a table against the wall for dine in, but since we chose to take out, they packaged our order in a cute paper bag with a dog on it. Although there is limited seating inside, it almost makes it feel more private which is neat. The GPS took us to the wrong building at first, but the correct building does have some parking spots.

The restaurant is clean cheery and welcoming. The staff is amazing, friendly and willing to provide suggestions. I ask for a good different hot dog and then ordered an original Coney Dog.

This place is definitely a gem and I'm glad I stopped by for an early dinner.

Well, Chicago has their hot dog version, New York has the famous water dog from a street cart but my all time favorite is a Rhody Dog! The Rhode Island wiener, often called a New York System wiener is a distinctive Rhode Island hot dog. Toppings may include: Meat sauce, often called "wiener sauce" Yellow mustard Chopped onions Celery salt And Wally's Wieners has a lunch special, *Two Rhody Dogs w/ Fries for $10 bucks! (My wife is now looking at me with disgust) Listen, I am an adult and if I want to eat wieners? I will do so with a beer. Wally's Wieners has a side parking lot. We walk upstairs into a nice space. Large bar to the right, to the left is a nice size dining area. There is a larger space, almost like a speakeasy in the back?! Our waitress was nice, I point to the special on the board and ask for a local beer. My wife orders a smashburger, all is right with the world. My Rhody Dogs? Perfection. The ratio of ground beef, yellow mustard and chopped onion makes this Providence treat something special. I love a good hot dog, er wiener. Wally's, very impressed! Thanks for the trip down memory lane

I've been to Wally's a few times since my last review and each experience has gotten a bit better…read more My most recent experience at Wally was a couple weeks ago and it was great. I made a couple of modifications to both the martini tree and the hotdog tiered platter. I asked for beef hotdogs well done and well done toasted buns. That made all the difference to the flavor of the hotdogs for me. The only thing I am still bummed about is that the chili has pork in it. If anyone's reading this, pretty please make either a vegetarian chili or an all beef chili. I have been dying for a chili dog. I liked that you could try a variety of different hotdogs from the menu with the tiered platter. You get five hotdogs as well as five sauces and fries are on top. It was a great way to select different things on the menu to see what you like, and it's definitely shareable if you cut the hotdogs in half or if you and your friend pick which ones you'd like and split the cost. On the hotdog toppings had good flavor, and the fries were nice and crispy with a good texture. All the sauces were different and I liked dipping the fries in them. My friend and I split the martini tree which is six mini martinis on each side. It probably equals about three regular martinis each we were able to sub out some of the flavors that we didn't like for an extra fee. That was totally worth it because it made it a much more enjoyable experience as both of us really do not like almond joy or the dark martinis. We subbed in the chai espresso martini, and the hazelnut. Our service was great, our waiter was super attentive and really helpful with all the questions I had. I really appreciated his patience and knowledge of the menu. The bathrooms were clean, and I do like the color palette of the restaurant with the pastel pinks and greens. Will definitely come back for this meal again soon!

C'mon, people. It's Haven Brothers…read more Is it a true, objective, Michelin-style five-star dining experience? No. Absolutely not. But that completely misses the point of Haven Brothers. This place is a Providence institution, and sometimes you have to review a place for what it actually is rather than holding it to some ridiculous standard it never intended to meet. I used to frequent Haven Brothers pretty much every weekend when I was driving down to Rhode Island from college, and more nights than I can count eventually ended here. There was something about finishing a night out, wandering over to the trailer, climbing inside, ordering some food and standing around Providence with a collection of equally hungry people that just worked. Friday and Saturday nights could produce quite a cast of characters, too. You meet all kinds of people around Haven Brothers late at night, and honestly, that's part of the entertainment. There's also something genuinely fun about the place itself. It's not a conventional restaurant. You walk into the trailer, place your order, watch the food being prepared and take in all the history surrounding the place. Haven Brothers has been serving Providence from its mobile diner since the late 19th century, and there's something wonderfully old-school about the whole experience. The burger I had wasn't the best burger I've ever eaten, and I'm certainly not going to pretend it was. But it was big, it was good, it was satisfying, and after a long night out, that's really all I was asking of it. The prices are also refreshingly reasonable, especially considering how expensive everything has become. You can get a substantial meal without feeling like you need to take out a second mortgage, and the service is impressively fast. But here's the thing: you don't really come to Haven Brothers because you're searching for the finest hamburger in Rhode Island. You come because it's Haven Brothers. It's the trailer, the history, the late nights, the characters, the downtown location and the feeling that you're participating in something that's been part of Providence for generations. For me, there's a tremendous amount of nostalgia wrapped up in this place. I spent plenty of college weekends ending up here, and coming back now brings back that particular feeling of being young, staying out far later than you probably should, and deciding that greasy food at an absurd hour was somehow the perfect conclusion to the evening. So yes, I'm giving it five stars, even though I freely admit the burger itself isn't a five-star burger. Sometimes a place earns five stars because of what it means, not because every individual component is flawless. Haven Brothers is one of those places. It's a Providence institution, it's fun, it's affordable, the food is good, and the service is fast. If you're in Providence and you've never been, go experience it for yourself. Then you'll understand why people keep coming back.

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.
