The dam hot weiners can't be beat. you can ONLY get them in RI no matter what anyone tells you. GOOD NEWS, you can buy the meat mixture on line and do your own at home!!! A must go when in RI

As soon as you step foot in this joint it's a vibe. The wieners speak for themselves. 2 words. Coffee milk. Just get it. The service was 100. Thank ONYS. See you next time.

Really cool RI staple with fast and friendly service. Wieners were good but a little bland.

Food is always consistent and great service. Old school ambiance. It's like going home. Same great taste, perfectly done.

My friend, Amy and I went New York System at first time. We ordered two hot dogs and fries. It looks good tasty. And New York System looks like 80s year where they go dinner.

What's not to love about this place? It's a Rhode Island staple and a classic. The people who work there are fun and great at what they do- it's entertaining to watch them make the wieners! I love the old school ambience and that they are open late. One of the best wieners in town- 3 all the way please (when I was in my 20's haha- now I'll just save the other two for later)! Perhaps a side of cheese fries and a coffee milk...yum! *Tip: if you are ever at Fete for a show, make sure to grab some grub after! Thanks Olneyville!

"Disgusting!" This was the one word I heard over and over again from a Providence resident, in regards to ONYS. "You'll smell like onions for the rest of the day" was another warning, but one which holds little water for me. I love smelling like the foods I love, and onions are a personal favorite. Seriously, can you imagine life without onions? But I digress. I am here to say, avoid the haters. I regret every single missed opportunity to visit ONYS over the last sixteen years of my fairly regular travels to Rhode Island. For the record, this is coming from a New Yorker and a Michigander, who has a fondness for the occasional Chicago dog. That also makes me an equal opportunity hot dog lover, without prejudice for meat blends, casings, toppings or cooking methods. Great dogs can come in all shapes and sizes, and so can not so great ones. ONYS makes a great dog. For being in a bit of a rougher part of town, this is a tender, delicate version of the form. I can get down with that. No snap. Just a juicy silky blend of pork, beef, and veal. The wiener itself has some delicate spice, which is enhanced by just a bit more heat from the chili. It's not hot, but pleasantly tingly. Lets say piquant, even if that word is entirely out of place with the vibe at the counter. The onions and mustard provide some balancing brightness. What I was not expecting was the celery salt. My bad for not doing my research before grabbing a stool at the well worn counter. However, in my mind, it is this small detail which sets the Rhode Island style apart from its cousins. Of course, it's the whole package, with the selection of the wiener and the composition of the chili as well. Still, the celery salt was a delightful pop in the kisser and far from out of place in the hot dog universe. However, until now I did not realize it was in use outside of Chicago. The added salt on top is one reason I was glad to have ordered a coffee milk on the side. The other reason is that to date this was the best coffee milk I've had in the state. Rich, creamy, cold, and full flavored. I know it just comes from a bag. Perhaps coffee milk simply tastes better after something salty. The coffee milk came in a pint glass, and when I cashed out my bill said it was a large one. That tracks. Perhaps ONYS offers a small one? If so, that would be my go to for next time. As tasty as it was, that's a lot of fluid dairy. In the end, the wiener was $3.69 the large coffee milk was $7.18. With tax and a 17% tip for counter service, I was in and out for $9. Food has gotten more expensive these days for sure, but you shouldn't be eating that many hot dogs anyway. One was plenty satiating especially with all of that milk. I'll be back and will continue to fight the good fight against any naysayers. I'm also very curious to try the grilled cheese. Next time ONYS. Next time.

Super fast service ! Fries were cooked to order. FYI for Togo orders they don't give you any bags. So bring your own bag if you are buying a lot . Hot dogs were perfect. Great atmosphere, a throwback to the way diners looked in the 80's and 80's .

As a native Rhode Islander, this is a staple of our diets here and we live on this. There are many restaurants around the state who serve this dish in while many do a very good job, some places do it better than others. It's all in the meat sauce recipe and each restaurant has a different recipe varying by one or two ingredients and the measurements. In my humble opinion, ONYS does it best, and therefore makes it the best weenie joint in the state. I also love the ambiance and I love nothing better than grabbing a stool and bellying up to the counter to order "Tree all day way" from the gruff counter men with a dozen weiners stacked up in a row on their forearm during busy periods. PRO TIP: Going there for late night eats and the floor show is highly entertaining as the drinks roll in after the bars close as ONYS closes at 2am Sun-Thursday and at 3am Fri-Sat.

These are a unique style of wiener to this region... so we had to give it a try! We had ours "all the way" ... why be picky! And they were delicious! The hot dogs themselves are sort of a dyed red color and cut square on the ends. Smothered in a meat sauce and onions... we got the "all the way". On a side note, I went in to pick up our orders because we were traveling with our dog, and as soon as I mentioned that's why they were "to go", the cook chopped up a wiener and wrapped it up for our dog! He said "remove the casing" ... not sure why, but we did, and Nibbler just loved it! We loved ours too. In addition to the wieners we had coffee milks... another unique local treat... milk with a coffee syrup, iced. Delicious. Next time we're in the Providence area, we'll definitely revisit!
