Food needs improvement. Use to be better. Now it's bland and tasteless. Have been disappointed untill recently. So stoped going there. If firehouse reads this and does nothing to improve,after I check it out again. It tells me the once awesome food stand does not care about tradition. And has sold out their customer to sub par food. read more

Family Owned! Nice and professional I loved the hotdogs!! Outdoor setting with umbrellas I'm pretty sure this location is seasonal so wait until spring I would say! read more

One of my delivery stops is in the same plaZa. Today I was there late enough In the day when these guys were open. Not a bad roadside stand. The meat sauce on the hot dog was good, the fries were hot and crispy. I tried it now I don't have to wonder how it is anymore. read more

Firehouse Hot Dogs - Wiener with meat sauce, onions, mustard (coney style) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

See all

Delicious. A bit pricey for small hotdogs--like $12 for two sauerkraut (maybe including tip; I forget)--but whatev. They announce your dogs are ready with a bullhorn in the parking lot, which is kind of a fun experience. Like, you expect a helicopter to swoop in. Their sign lacks illumination on the road, which keeps the line short. (They not good at marketing, but they're good at hotdogs, which is the important part.) read more

Tasty late night burgers and delicious mozzarella sticks. Friendly people and pretty fast for quality food

This place used to be great but is so overpriced and the food is horrible. Would never go there again. We went there when the old owners had it and it was great. read more

$6.50 for a grilled cheese and $7 for fries? Really? I will not be back at this shack for late night again.

Well. I just stopped at Firehouse Hot Dogs. Not the same place it always has been. It has been a while since I have been there. It seems, perhaps new owners? Not sure? What happened to the grilled rolls? The food was ok, but not what I had remembered, and stopped in for. This was always a favorite spot for me. But I will not go out of my way to visit again. Quality was good. Nice compostable packaging. But the food just didn't do it for me.... read more

Absolute rubbish. Shut this place down. Gross and the lowest quality products available. You're a hot dog stand and you sell pathetic pencil thing hotdogs on generic plain old ungrilled buns with disgusting unfresh toppings and have the nerve to charge $5 apiece. read more

Great for Late Night Not much to review here. It's a small hot dog shack in a parking lot on 44. However, it's been a late night staple in the area for decades and for good reason. Pumping out pretty high quality burgers and dogs to help soak up some of the alcohol from a long night out. Tip: The best kept secret on the menu is the steak sandwich. Check this place out. Thanks read more

Steak Bomb was the BOMB!!!! LOADED FRIES........slamming! Rodeo Burger ...... slamming! ......If you dont like it? stick to your 0.99 microwave burritos. read more

Since they sold this place a few years ago the food has gone down hill and the prices have gone up. Not like it used to be when Bill owned it read more

This is my favorite go to spot after a long night of drinking. They make crisp fries and greasy burgers. It's not gourmet by any means but it gets the job done. The attendants get to the point, no fuss no muss. Cash only. read more

amazing food and amazing service I love the sign "trespassers will be turned into hot dogs"

Reviewing Firehouse Hot dogs is a tricky task... as every time I have ever been there has been a late night, just left the bar at 2 AM... want to eat bad food sort of adventure.. and let me tell you... at 2 AM it hits the spot... doing its work of sopping up all that excess alcohol.. and easing the hang over that is surely to come the next day. After checking out a band at Escada, which is in the same plaza, I wandered over to grab a late night snack... not inebriated. And I was pleasantly surprised. The wieners were damn good... like easily good competition for NY System. They also have regular dogs, chili dogs, burgers, fries and a awesome Delmonico steak sandwich.. so good.. So definitely do not let the appearance of this little red shack on the edge of a parking lot in Johnston, or the parade of fist pumping, Ed Hardy shirt waring crowds disuade you.. Firehouse does the job of a great late night snack.. in the Johnston/North Providence area. read more

Not too much has changed here since the days when I was a Thursday through Saturday late night (early morning) regular. Other than moving across the way from one side of route 44 to the other and prices that account for inflation, it is pretty much the same greasy, made to order red box on wheels that it's always been. After stepping up to the tiny window, "no fries, chips!", your order is repeated verbatim in a loud bark, over the cashier's shoulder to the master of the tiny flat top, just about four feet away, "two chili on a bun!". Your chow is ID'd by giving your first name (which for me always changes) and then you are expected to wait. Just stand there and participate in drunken tomfoolery until the magical moment... "Jebediah!!". A rush to the window, a snatch of the brown paper bag, a return to the automobile that brought you there, a jubilant tear and out spills the contents right to the tabletop - aka the hood of the car you traveled there in. Approximately two minutes later the damage is done and the self-pity is high. For late-night, post-partying eats, this (barely) Johnston spot throws down - right before you throw up. read more

Good food if you are completely inebriated, and have a cast iron stomach. I've gone to this place twice, and both times it made McDonald's seem like fine cuisine. Sloppy, undercooked burgers by people who don't seem to remotely care. I suppose they just assume that most of their late night crowd are coming from the bars, and won't notice the lack of quality. Judging from some of the other positive reviews, that seems to be the case. read more

A red trailer parked on the corner of a strip mall marking lot. You walk up to the order window, the woman will open it just a crack...just enough to take your order and money. Then you wait to hear your name over the crackeled speaker. Decent, cheap food for late night tummy rumbles. Most weekend nights, they'll have a line of buzzed people waiting. Seriously though, I wouldn't mind if they charged a little more, but bumped the quality of the burgers up a notch. They use cheap buns and cheap frozen burger patties that look smaller than a Micky D's patty. They use wonder bread for the hotdog rolls and the fries are usually undercooked. It doesnt matter though, you'll woof it all down and probably wont remember it the next day. The only thing you'll have to show for it will be an empty greasy paper bag on the counter. With more and more fast food placed open late, you think they would improve their offerings. Can't they get a grill in there? I guess you get what you pay for... read more

First time ordering from here I ordered the firehouse burger and chili cheese fries everything tasted awesome the only bad thing is the burgers are small or their price you would think they would be bigger read more

Coffee milk warm. Hotdogs no taste and the girl at counter can't say to much about her. It's not like the the old days. I will never go back read more

I can't explain the appeal of this place. They sell basic hot dogs and hamburgers. Sure, you can get a chili dog or a sauerkraut dog, but its nothing fancy. But here's the deal...the food here tastes incredible. Is it because I am usually slightly inebriated when I finally make my way here at 2AM? Do they line the buns with crack?? The cheeseburger costs $2.95 and is smaller than a BK double cheeseburger off the dollar menu. Its not just me that is drawn to this place; the parking lot is a bustle of activity during the late night hours and it doesn't matter if it is winter or summer. I'm sure that after my next night out and I am craving a greasy cheeseburger, you will find me here. read more

Was not impressed by this place at all. Hot digs were alright but fries were soggy and gross and chicken fingers weren't anything to write home about. People said it was good food after a night of drinking.. not true at all. I was a few drinks in and I figured my girl and I would give it a try. Let us down big time. McDonald's is better then this read more

They're open LATE and that's good, especially if you're coming out from a bar or a concert. TASTE of the Burgers, Chili Dogs and Steak sandwich are OK but not great. For the price, you can get something better.. but they're probably closed anyway. The people running the place, particularly Deb are wonderful and that's what makes me come back every week.. Good conversation and a good cheeseburger before going to bed. read more

Called on a Thursday night at 12:20 after excitedly seeing they are open until 2am. An oldeer woman answered the phone ande fun of me (kind of) because I asked "Are you guys REALLY open". What she didn't know, was that she was the roughly (20th) restaurant I called listing late hours, but discovered that the kitchens had al closed at 10-11pm. I had almost surrendered and started dialing Vasilios when Firehouse popped up on my "open now" feed. After confirming with the woman that they were in fact REALLY open, I told I was heading there now and would see her in 10 minutes. At 12:41, I pulled into the parking lot where the truck is parked and see that the boards were locked over the windows and there were no lights on. Rage starts to creep up my neck as I walk back to my car and press re-dial. This time and ignorant male answers the phone and proceeds to say in a condescending way, that he was "sorry" but they had closed early because it had been slow. Even after I explain that I had just called 10 minutes before, spoke to the woman, and told her I was on my way, he just repeated, "yeah, sorry" -"you should have placed your order. I would've had it ready for you". Now, I'm pissed. I'm sorry (not). Who would think you could call an order into a LATE NIGHT FOOD TRUCK? Sorriest excuse for late night food that I've ever encountered. I drove away, muttering "asshole" and knowing that I will eat food from Shell gas station before I ever give even $1.00 of my business to this establishment. I'm so disheartened by Ri's late night food options. I'm done trying to find new spots. I'll stick with NY System. There's a reason they have been around as long as they have and continue to have the same same loyal following that continues to grow. They put out good food with a smile and you know, that if it says online that they are opened until 4am, they are not locking that door until 4am. Thank you, for that reliability, guys. read more

Perfect for late night drunk food. Cheap, good, and greasy. Will satisfy your late night cravings. Burgers are good, hot dogs are well hot dogs. But good. Basically everything taste better late night I think? Chili cheese fries are loaded and you will remember you ate them the next morning, but perfect for trying to forget your hangover. Looks like a roach coach wagon with a red light that flashes on the roof when they are open. They have been around for years! read more

What a fantastic crew of people. No matter what time service with a smile ! I look forward to going there not just for the great food but the staff always makes me feel welcomed back and remembers who I am Five stars for food and staff all the way!!!! read more

Cold soggy food.. used to coming here in the past but it has gone downhill tremendously. The people there clearly could care less &are just trying to push food out as fast as they can. Disappointed. read more

This place is awesome. It's really only open on weekend nights- I think maybe just Friday and Saturday nights, late. Always busy with the after-club crowd. It's a small food stand that sells hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, steak sandwiches, and maybe a few other items. Chili-cheese is always an option for anything. There's usually a line so you may have to wait a few mins for your order, but its worth it if you've been out partying all night and find that you're super hungry at 3am. If you have a large order you can call it in, so you don't hold everyone up at the stand. Very cool place. Very similair to Gilley's up in Portsmouth, NH. read more

This review is based on taste and service only, right? Not for the health conscious!!! Hot dogs... awesome, however getting a little color of them would be nice... grill them, they taste like the are steamed. Get some char on that dog!!!! Burgers... awesome Steak and cheese... while the steak isn't the most tender, you shouldn't be looking for that anyways... buttered toasted bun, nice flavorful piece of meat, and just the right amont of cheese... yep, its a winner. Can't wait for summer when this place is like the after party. Always a good time The lady at the window is a sweetheart too read more

I love the steak and cheese! The people who work here are funny! It's a late night truck spot! Prices are fair! Tends to get pretty busy on the weekends! read more

One of the BEST cheeseburgers I have had in a long time. It's just your basic burger - but it hits the spot! I was just introduced to Firehouse this past weekend, but am sure to be back! Open after the bars get out - so it's great for that late night snack. read more

The best for sandwiches and hot wieners Great pricing. No seating food trailer. Best midnight snack read more

Great for the late night munchies and I suggest the chili cheese fries, wieners, and cheeseburger deluxe.

Great hot dogs especially after a night out. Definitely a place to try on your way home. Chili dogs ROCK!!!!!

Best place food a greasy pick me up when needed!! Staff is always a pleasure. I highly recommend the cheese fries!!! The hours come in clutch after a night out when you are craving all the good stuff. read more

Very good fries. Chili cheese dog weird. Small tasty hot dog, hard to find wrapped in a grilled piece of bread not a bun, cheese was melted, chili kinda meaty with onions not too good. $6 for chili cheese dog and fries. read more
