Arrived shortly…read moreafter 11, was told they were serving breakfast but would be happy to start the burgers a little early. This place is awesome! Menu is small but the burgers are delicious. Added salt potatoes instead of fries and they were a new favorite. The whole meal was fantastic! I know your reading my review and saying to yourself a burger is a burger, how good can it be? If you don't go, you will never understand!! A few things- this is in a neighborhood. Parking is very tight. Grab whatever you can close by. Also not much seating, it is a small place. We arrived a little after 11 by 11:30 on a Saturday there was a line and seats were tough to find! Yes, there are challenges but don't miss this place!!

Alrighty I finally got to try There There at Track 15. They…read moremake a solid smash burger, ingredients were fresh, great bun not soggy at all, and the burger was still juicy. The regular steak fries were delicious love their homemade seasoning. The CNY potatoes just weren't it for us, there was a group of 4 and no one really cared for them, but if pepperoncini flavor is your thing go for it. The chicken sandwich was okay didn't have much flavor too it sadly. Atmosphere of track 15 is great and the girl at the counter was kind and friendly to us as well.

I really like the sweet potato Kong Dog but whatever system this location uses is a disaster...!!!…read moreI first tried Kong Dog at one of their Boston Locations and really liked the unique taste and concept behind the Kong dog. But at the Providence Place mall location there is literally NOBODY behind the counter at all. It looks like 15* people are waiting for their orders.There is nobody behind the counter to even ask.... Somebody comes out from the back every 10 mins or so to give out an order but then they run right in the back!! I ordered 3 Kong dogs (cheese only) about 20 or so minutes ago. This is ridiculous. I don't know if I would be back. 5 stars for the sweet potato mozzarella only corn dog. 1 star for the horrible set up they have in place. Well maybe I was being overzealous but as soon as I wrote this- our order came out. But 20 mins for 3 mozzarella only Kong dogs is a bit ridiculous....

Turns out they skipped my order and the front crew didn't even once think to check on it as I stood three feet in front of them the whole time with eventually no other customers around. All the other food I bought for my daughter and I from another place in the food court is now cold. Manager is unapologetic. I ask if he can give us a couple of water bottles to make good for the now 35 minutes we've been waiting for our food. After trying to dodge the water request with all of his might for a few minutes, he reluctantly says he will only give me one. It took a total of 40 minutes to get two dogs, one of which was blackened/burnt and the other undercooked with gooey dough and slimy hotdog inside. It wouldn't have been a big deal if the manager was even the slightest bit apologetic. What a jerk! We're definitely not returning to waste our money on this rip off of a hot dog stand again.

We didn't come to Baba's out of curiosity. We came out of respect. Word was they'd been having a…read morehard time lately. Quieter nights. Regular customers not being able to come through as often. That doesn't sit right when it's a place like this. So we brought a few friends and made the trip to Smith Hill. One of them had never had a hot wiener in their life, which feels almost criminal around here. But also kind of perfect. Two all the way, fries, and a drink. There's no reason to complicate it. It is an aptly named "special." The wieners have just enough snap when you bite, but they give in easily as you chew. Great texture. Full flavor. The meat sauce is exactly what it's supposed to be. Savory. Seasoned. Unmistakably a Rhode Island original. Mustard across the top, just enough to cut through. Onions finely chopped and stacked high. Celery salt finishes it off. All of it in a soft, steamed bun that holds its own with flavor and experience. The fries were perfect. Exactly what you hope for at a place like this. Crisp. Golden. Salted perfectly. I didn't touch the shaker. Didn't need to. They get it exactly right on the first try. And yes, they've got coffee milk... on tap. That's not a bonus. That's an expectation when you're running the OG New York System spot. If you don't have coffee milk with your wieners are you really having the true experience? The guys working the counter were young, friendly, and patient. They smile. They explain things. They broke down what "all the way" meant. Just demonstrating pride in what they serve and appreciative of the patronage. And just as we were finishing up, one of the owners came out. She'd heard we had a first timer at the table and wanted to know what they thought. It wasn't a show. She really wanted to make sure the food hit right. She talked to every member of our party and took a genuine interest in who we were and how we got there. Inside, the place is spotless. Coral counters and black walls with chrome stools. A color scheme that somehow works. Digital menus overhead. Even though it's so fresh and clean, you do realize at all times that you're eating at a piece of Rhode Island's history, even though it's also quite modern now. And if we don't show up for places like this, they disappear. You'll wake up one day and the Old Canteen is gone and in its place, you've got Wally's Wieners. Neon signs. Cartoon branding. Hot dogs with dumb names. TikTok decor. Eight dollar ketchup. Branding dressed up like culture. If we let the originals die, we're complicit in the knockoff version that takes its place. So don't just talk about supporting local. Do it. Go to Baba's. Order the special. Sit down. Eat slow. And remember what real tastes like.

Recently WPRI published an article that the Ocean State's first-ever New York System restaurant is…read moreon the verge of serving its last hot wiener. Baba's Original New York System on Smith Street first opened back in 1927. Baba's Original New York System was on my list to visit and if they are closing soon, I wanted to go support them. I came on a Saturday afternoon around 1:15pm and there were just 2 tables occupied. We saw a sign at the register to order first and then take a seat. We ordered the 2 Weiner Special which is served with two hot weiner's, fries and drink. There is a fridge with cold drinks for you to choose. Just to name a few, there were Coca Cola, Sprite, Brisk. My husband wanted coffee milk and that was just $1 more. We got the weiners All the Way. Our food was bought to our table. The weiners had a wienie, mustard, meat sauce, onion, and celery salt in a steamed bun. It was very good. The fries were crispy outside and soft inside. Service was wonderful though they did forget the coffee milk for a little while. The menu also has a variety of burger choices, shakes, salads, gyros and sandwiches. Everything is made to order. A credit card surcharge of 3% is applied. By the time we were done with our meal, all the tables and some of the counter seats were taken. I'm glad I had the opportunity to try Baba's Original New York System.

Once you go inside, you will see the main bar and some seating in the back. But there's even more space! We sat upstairs where there were more tables and a tv. We will definitely be there more often!

When a simple spot has been featured this much, it is a true institution of its own. Crazy part is…read morethat not only is it on wheels as a food truck, it's a MUCH bigger than the usual food truck you're accustomed to. Having been around this long and operating at crazy hours that obviously cater to late night crawlers and drunken fools, you must have built some solid grit to be a dedicated feeding hole around a university/college town. The staff greeted me fondly as I walked through the door. If you've never seen this on TV or online before, you wouldn't have imagined a diner within a truck designed that way. You wouldn't have been able to tell the difference from them vs a small restaurant in a city. TV, lights, posters and everything anything restaurant that you expect was there...except for the chairs this particular night. I'm guessing they removed it to better handle crowds coming through...after all, too many people dining there, lining up, and trying to order food is a classic fire hazard 101 within such a small space. I am glad to have a chance to visit this time around. I've been wanting to try it for the longest time since seeing it on Man vs Food. However, I don't know why but I just wasn't craving a burger in the moment. Maybe if I did order the burger, this would have ended up as a 5-star review based on how most people rave about it. But for now, I'll glad to still say that I'm a true fan. The Haven Dog with celery salt was simple and a quick fixer-upper for anyone slightly hungry in the moment. The steak and cheese sandwich, however, is a loaded mother-f-fer with a LOT of sliced beef atop a TINY bun with some shrooms and peppers. All I could think about as I unwrapped it was someone trying a skinny jeans three sizes down, lol. Check them out!
