Upon entering the establishment at around 3pm, I was struck by the serene ambiance that pervaded the interior. The stark contrast between the tranquil atmosphere inside and the lackluster exterior was noticeable, albeit not surprising. As my main objective was to indulge in their renowned hot dogs, I paid little attention to the overall aesthetics or cleanliness of the place.

Great place to grab a hot wiener, I’ve always been a fan of Olneyville New York System but after visiting Baba’s I might have a new favorite. The menu here is definitely more extensive, although let’s be honest if I’m coming here I’m probably getting 3 all the way. The food is just as good as Olneyville and the prices are similar, maybe slightly higher but nothing significant. I don’t think they have coffee milk on the menu (could be wrong) but they do have shakes. I will say it’s less of a classic RI feel, so if you have family or friends visiting and they want to try a hot wiener, I’d take them to Olneyville. But as a local, this just might be a better option.

The best and open late!!!! Highly recommend getting the coffee milk with your meal, they have a machine that mixes it and it never disappoints! Not to mention having an awesome working jukebox. 10/10 would recommend

Delicious food! We arrived at 7pm. The owner was super friendly, conversational and provided free samples of their strawberry shortcake and Nutella milkshakes. Both tasted great! If I wasn’t watching the calories, I’d get the Nutella one. The weiners are scrumptious! Get those! I ate a tasty beef-lamb gyro with hot, crispy fries. I will definitely come back here when I’m in Providence again. I recommend dining here. It’s very worthwhile even parking may be limited.

1.00 per side was little much. We came for the hot dogs but were not impressed. They had a funny taste..tried the brownie it was really dry and no flavor.

If you like hot dogs and are in Providence looking for the local or regional version: a Weiner with mustard, beef chili, onions and celery salt, this is the place. Good dogs and the owner was friendly. No wonder they’ve been in business this long! They also offer a full breakfast and lunch menu, but really, just come for the Weiners!

Hotdog was pretty bad (dog was definitely not real meat), but the prices are pretty unbeatable and the atmosphere is cool. Also, AMAZING fries.
