    Local mom & pop diner, nothing fancy but the food is always good and the service friendly.

    One of my top 5 places to get wieners, they do em right!

    Good dog in a steamed bun. Excellent price. Fast service and the place is clean. Wish they had a spicier meat sauce. Celery salt comes through as a classic yum factor!

    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.

    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.

    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.
