Don't call them hot dogs. They are WIENERS! Ich habe jahrelang in Deutschland gelebt und über 250 Wurstsorten gegessen. I think I know my meat. Good food. Two wieners and a root beer with tip was $10. Slight taste of celery salt, which was nice. Waitress was very friendly. Ambiance reminded me of the many lunch counters of old. Nice old school classic charm. read more

Sam's New York System - Loaded wieners - Hot Dogs Near Me - North Providence, Rhode Island

I have passed this place a million times! And its because I was raised on Weiner Genie. Now that Weiner Genie is gone I was having a craving and I felt it was time to try Sam's. Private parking lot. Cash only. Very limited capacity inside and very old school. Think wood paneling and mismatched interior decor. Super nice folks serving up greasy spoon fare. We went with weiners and fries. It was good, but not Weiner Genie status. Its not like the old days when eating for 3 at a place like this was around $25. Our 5 hot dogs, a fry and a cheeseburger was just over 40! True score: 3.5 read more

Sam's New York System - Hot Dogs Near Me - North Providence, Rhode Island

Employees were very nice, welcoming environment. I ordered two hotdog with just ketchup and they were old and chewy. The skin on the hot dog tasted stale. I couldn't even chew it. You could peel it off the actual meat very bad not to mention $3.50 each? For a tiny hotdog the only thing that was good was the bun . way too overpriced. The olnyville location was waaay better. read more

Fast service, clean and reasonable price even though price went up a bit. Still a good value. Weiners? Always considered them the best, but today something was off. Sauce was missing something, don't know what. The Weiners? Ok, pretty much like every other place, all come from the same place, for the most part. My not native Rhode Islander wife has hers with mustard and relish. Thinking she should sit by herself. I prefer the Weiners cooked longer so skin snaps when bitten into. Still my go to weiner joint ..still my favorite read more

Sam's New York System - 3 all the way wieners to go. - Hot Dogs Near Me - North Providence, Rhode Island

This is a great little place with the ABSOLUTE BEST New York System Hot Wieners in Rhode Island. They steam the buns, they use real hot wieners, the meat sauce is flavorful and not greasy at all, and the onions are chopped perfectly. They even use the right amount of celery salt! The fries are great as well, and I recently tried the beef stew which was home made and perfect for the raw rainy night we were there. The staff is attentive and courteous. I look forward to trying other items beyond the wieners there, but it's difficult to order anything else when you just know they are so amazing! I highly recommend Sam's New York System. read more

Best Hot Weiners in the entire state. You'll never eat in a cleaner diner I don't care where you go. The place and the people are a bit quirky but everyone is friendly in there own way. The picture on the reviews is all wrong. Weiners are the star of the show. Just say two all the way, small fries and a large coffee milk! Done? read more

Haven't tried the food yet. Went in for a few wieners planned on eating there until we were told we asked for it to go. Asked for 4 all the way without onion. Guy states I should have just said no onion. Asked for a root beer and sprite guy stated 2 sprites when we asked for a root beer again the lady said don't worry you won't be charged. Miss the weenie Jeanie. Will not be back. read more

Getting Sam's all the way is the best pick me up after a long day, service is great, food is delicious! Who needs Olneyville when you have better wieners here?! read more

Probably one of the best old school weinee joints in Rhode Island. The waitress has been there for 23 years and she is priceless and is as North Providence as you can be... My friend and i have been going here for over 20 years ..... For a local, its the best. For a tourist... You gotta get "three all the way" and a coffee milk. read more

I kept seeing the sign for this place which I believe says hot weiners, and naturally I had to try it. I was actually really impressed by their weiners! I'm really glad I stopped in because I discovered a great place for a loaded, meaty, saucy weiner. I passed by so many times I was finally lik, ok, for better or for worse I have to try this place. I feel like the food itself is nothing too complex, and the place looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but damn this place hits the spot! A little gem of a restaurant hidden in providence. I could eat like a dozen of these things. read more

Sam's New York System - Hot Dogs Near Me - North Providence, Rhode Island

I have gone here within the last 10 years and was so very happy with the service and quality of the food.... I went last week after work to get some wieners around 5 PM, and forgot it was cash only! very strange that the waitress took my order and went in the back room....THEN an elderly Lady came out to make my wieners....First, she forgot the mustard and celery salt, and then she pushed my debit card saying cash only... I got home, added my own mustard and celery salt..! I will make the trip to Olneyville during daylight hours....in the future poor customer service read more

Awesome food awesome service 100%. The staff is friendly the service was 1st class and the food was perfect

One of the best wiener joints in Rhode Island Great atmosphere Great people and great food

Great service- in fact the service is what will bring me back. The food, not so much. Wieners were very dry-which is good if you're trying to cut out the grease. But- when I'm going all out and having a couple gaggahs, the grease makes it! read more

What a great family run business. We enjoyed the wieners with all the toppings, fries and salad. We enjoyed speaking with the owners and the food. We will be back. read more

People way too miserable. Been going there 43 yrs. Between both places. Prices are way too high to boot.

Had a weiner all the way. Thought it was quite good. No where near the best I've had in terms of this type of food but quite good. Liked the old school diner atmosphere. If I were a local who knew the staff I'd be here all the time. read more

Came in sat at counter. Nobody acknowledged me or welcomed me. Had one guy busting his ass on the grill while another woman was "serving" or putting together to-go orders which I get is a staple in todays world. However she seemed upset and was short with the customers she had. Another older lady came from the back, made one weenie and went back to whatever. I left after 8 minutes of what seemed I was invisible. Might need some younger people to work or help out atleast. At 2pm on a Saturday I wouldn't have considered them "busy" but I think the whole acknowledgement thing is huge in restaurants. Also brought cash as they are a cash only establishment which I never do. I really wanted to try it out. Maybe another time. read more

Can't beat this place! The homey old school diner vibe is the best! Foods great, decent prices and the atmosphere makes you feel like your having lunch at your mom and pops! Best diner food to the north of the city read more

FRANKly, I have no idea why these are called New York System Hot Wieners, given their Rhode Island association. FRANKly, I have zero clue as to what makes them different from any random hot dog. Or what makes them so compelling that hubby insisted on detouring here for a second visit on our way to Boston recently-ish. What I do know is that you should order these cute l'il frankfurters 'all the way,' as in topped with mustard, spiced meat sauce, chopped onion, and celery salt. And be sure to wash it all down with a Coffee Milk. I love that for such a tiny state, Rhode Island is rich with so many local food specialties, like both of these. Now as far as answers to my above musings go... Well, FRANKly, my dear, I don't give a damn. read more

Just moved back to Rhode Island. My wife and i craved some hot wieners near our home and we found Sam's was still open. Called and was greeted with nothing but patience from a couple of questions regarding a pickup. Arrived to pickup wieners and the cook himself welcomed us back to Rhode Island, congratulated us for being newlyweds, and made us realize what it really meant to be a Rhode Islander. The service was fantastic. Brought the food back home and the wieners were just as delicious as we were expecting it to be. A must grab from a classy looking joint! read more

Food is great. Never any complaints until my last visit. The prices have skyrocketed! A tuna sandwich on toast is more expensive than a bacon cheeseburger. Wieners always seemed expensive at $3 each. I remember them being $.89 a piece. Sucks getting old! read more

I've tried the wieners at Olneyville and New York System - hands down the best are at Sam's in North Providence. The pea soup and chicken soup is second to your grandmother's soups. Everything is great, the staff is personable and they get to know their customers. Wonderful lunch for a Saturday afternoon or anytime actually. Try it. North Providence is proud to have this restaurant in their town. read more

Walking in one day and didn't get greeted. Never been here before and we felt awkward, wasn't sure if it was a sit where you want type of place so we sat ourselves. No one came by to greet us. We left. Not going back. read more

If you want a pretty decent greasy burger - then this is your spot. Everything is made fresh to order - you can see them making your food. They serve burgers, hot dogs, wieners (don't really know what they are made of), chicken sandwiches. It's quick and affordable - and owned by locals - which is important to me. I stick to their burgers and stay away from deadly wieners. read more

Great food and great prices!! The gyro I got was delicious. Burgers and dogs are also great. Charming diner that is SUPER clean!!!!!

Stopped in for quick bite. I had elderly lady as my waitress I felt like she was very rude and unpleasant. While ordering food she was very snappy with me saying annoyingly it comes with it. How am I supposed to know it comes with it as I do not work there. Also it's not stated on the menu board. You don't have to be rude about it. After that encounter she gave me a stank look and threw a straw across the counter at me. What kind of service is that, just plain rude. This isn't the first time. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt but this last time it really pushed me. People need to be better, be kind, and not stereotype. read more

Great diner. Cash only. Some people say the have the best wieners. They're good for sure, but I like their charbroiled burgers best and the fries are great! I wouldn't listen to the reviews that say they're rude. I've never had a bad experience there. If anything they've been friendly and courteous. read more

Great place for "NY System wieners" or more greasy charbroiled burgers, with a diner feel. For those of you who are not from Rhode Island and don't know what "NY System" means, its basically a certain type of hotdog with a steamed bun, meat sauce, onions, mustard and celery salt. It's a Rhode Island thing. read more

When you want a good cheap meal this is where you go ! Staff is friendly always , and service is super quick. Cash only ..

Order by phone to Sam's in North Providence on Mineral Spring Avenue. When I went in to pick up the order the gentleman behind the counter told me it wasn't mine through the food on the counter so I walked out and left do not go to this place they are unprofessional read more

every time we come to visit out family from Los Ángeles this is a must stop nice family owned winner place food is great would definitely recommend read more

Great service, very low and affordable food prices,amazing quality food, EXTREMELY CLEAN!

Sam's is as good as it gets for the full NY System experience. 3 no onions, a large fry, and a chocolate milk.......the perfect meal. You can say "3 all the way" which would include the weiner, mustard, the amazing meat sauce, onions, and celery salt. The owners are Greek and amazing - and prepare to witness some of the best arguments you've ever seen...but in a language you don't understand. Of course, about 30 minutes later you realize that you can't get the smell off your hands, body, and now your car. Your stomach growls trying to digest the weiners, and you vow to take a break from them for a while. The next day, around lunch time, you want some more...the cycle continues. read more
