Lord of the Wings review 2025: We came for the wings and left wanting it all! Federal hill so expect a hard time parking. Cute inside. It was a Saturday around 2pm and plenty of seats available. We went with Wally sauce wings and the guys split a kimchee dog. The wings had a lot of meat, cooked well as ordered and smothered in sauce. And the sauce was flavorful! This was an adult wing crawl. This was our first stop of the day and upon leaving all we heard about from the guys for the rest of the day was heading back to Wallys!! (They want more hot dogs!!) read more

Wallys is a fantastic addition to federal hill. I came here for an early dinner this past weekend. The waiter we had was so helpful and was able to answer any questions we had. I ordered a funfetti espresso martini which was DELICIOUS. It was one of the best espresso martinis I have ever had. I also ordered crab fries which were perfection. I can't wait to come back and try more things. read more

Came on a Sunday for early dinner and the staff were so nice and kind. The playlist was a bop, so sorry other people in there for singing ever work of FOB. Anyways! The concept of the hot dog towers is SO FUN but I couldn't eat it all even splitting with my husband. I think next time I'll just stick to choosing one or two and upgrading to all beef! My favorite was the girl dinner hot dog, which is surprising because who knew I'd love salad on my hot dog! It was so helpful that they had parking! I wish they did coffee milk but I had a coffee milkshake instead. Will be back! read more

I went into Wally's for the Rhode Island Food Fights Lord of the Wings 2026 challenge. I've been to Wally's before but I had never had their wings. They had a variety of sauces and I went with the straight Buffalo. Their wings were lightly breaded with a nice crispness to them. The sauce was your typical buffalo sauce. They were very enjoyable. I also couldn't resist ordering a spicy kraut dog (a hot dog with dijon mustard and cherry pepper saurkraut. It was reasonably priced and hit the spot - a nice compliment to my wings. I sat at the bar and spoke a little bit to the friendly staff. I've had their hot dogs before and they are very good. It was a Monday night and they weren't too busy. I was able to find parking right down the street which can be difficult at that section of Federal Hill. the restaurant was very clean and well maintained and I was very happy with my experience read more

I know Rhode Island peeps are still unhappy about The Old Canteen becoming Wally's Providence but please give them a chance! Hubby & I were on the RI Food Fights #LordOfTheWings challenge & Wally's wings were delicious! A delicate crunch on the outside & juicy on the inside with a variety of unique sauces, so there's something whether you like it mild, bold or adventurous. Wally's also just rolled out a new brunch menu & a fun Sharing Is Caring menu that's ideal for going with friends & trying a little bit of everything. And for those feeling nostalgic, you will be happy to know The Old Canteen vibes aren't completely gone. The signs are being used in the back rooms along with the original bar which honors the history of the space. All in all, great food, a welcoming atmosphere & a thoughtful blend of new energy with old-school nostalgia. NOM NOM NOM #YUM read more

This is my second time at Wally's but the first time trying their wings as part of the RI Food Fights wing throwdown The place is all pink and teal, pops of color and screaming that it's a fun place to be. The bar was crowded but we easily found a table in the dining room. Our server was Nathan who was awesome. Super friendly, informative and patient, he helped us navigate the menu to figure out what we wanted. Being at Wally's, we of course had espresso martinis. We each got a different kind, mine was the chai. A balance of warm spices and coffee, this drink hit the spot while we waited for our food. We chose to get the General Tso wings. They came out quickly and they were CRISPY. I loved the texture, super crispy but juicy inside. The sauce came on the side. While I wished it was tossed, I can't deny the incredible texture achieved by having it on the side. One of these days I'll have to try a hotdog, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the wings. read more

I made a mental bookmark when Food Blogger friends created content about the Newport Wally's Wieners earlier this year. Because the hot dogs looked really good. Oops. I mean wieners. Last week, I was searching for Providence wieners to try as I was driving home from a trip. Wally's was one of the two names that stood out. The Providence Wally's is located on Atwell, just inside the Federal Hill La Pigna Archway. Wally's is part old school, because they use Saugy's "frankfurts", a beef and pork blend in a natural casing, that originated in Rhode Island in 1869. Love when places are loyal to their hometown dogs. You can also get a classic "All the Way" Rhode Island Wiener with meat sauce, mustard, chopped white onions and celery salt in a steamed bun at Wally's. But Wally's is part new school too. The inside, with pops of pink and green pastels, feels a bit like Miami. And Wally's is definitely a fun topping place. They have specialty combinations, with a modern spin. When I went, they had a special Bolognese dog and a special Cacio e Pepe dog. I ordered the special Bolognese dog, and the Spicy Kraut dog from the regular menu. The wieners are generally rapid-steamed, but you can request them grilled as well. I went for the classic RI steamed preparation. The bun was also steamed. The dog had a plump texture. I didn't find it especially snappy, although I know that Saugy's have that reputation. The dogs had good flavor, but the toppings were the stars for me. The bolognese sauce was very good. The kraut included cherry peppers, and was topped with an artful Squiggle of tasty "Dijon", that looked more like a blend with Stone-Ground Mustard. Very good hot dogs. The atmosphere was modern and colorful. Service was very good. If I lived nearby, I'd be in regularly to try all the dogs. 4.5 Stars read more

We went to a friend's 40th bday celebration here a couple weeks ago. First off the queer o meter is off the charts. There about 9 of us and the staff and atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Kudos! We got the parm fries, pickle chips, some adult beverages, a chicken sandwich and various hot dogs. I was surprised I liked the fries, I tend to like the crispy hot traditional ones but these were very good. Well seasoned and bursting with flavor. Everything else was fairly straight forward and on the upper end of fine. Except for the drinks, those were delish. I tried everyone's ha ha Def upgrade to the beef dog. The buns were hit or miss. Unfortunately, some were hard and we ended up eating the contents sans the bun for those. The 2 items that stood out, IMO, were the crispy chicken sandwich and the meatball sandwich. Both were hot, flavorful and the chicken was crispy without being oily. Well done. Will we be back? Most likely not unless it's a gathering of sorts, but it's worth a go for a social outing with a group. Definitely. They handled and accommodated us superbly. Cheers! read more

I've been to Wally's twice now, and both experiences have been wonderful. My husband and I love all of the choices of toppings, and have gotten the Hotdog Tower both times, to try different options. I have food allergies, particularly gluten and dairy. I know it's kind of a pain, but from the moment I mentioned my allergies our waitress and the manager ensured everything I received was allergen free. I can't thank them enough for doing this, as this isn't always common. Everything I had was delicious! The bartender, and our waitress, took it one step further. They currently have a Pumpkin Martini on special, and when I asked about it, she informed me it did have dairy in it. Later, she said they were trying out a dairy-free version and asked if I was interested in trying. I did try it and it was delicious! This extra step was incredibly nice, and I hope it's something that sticks to the special menu for others! The ambience here is casual and fun. I love the colors and decor, and as a dog lover and vet tech, being dog themed and named after a real dog is such a special touch. We already have plans to come back soon! read more

The concept is interesting but this space went from a classy, good Italian restaurant with a ton of local history to a place that sells "ok" hot dogs. My main issue is that almost everything is cut with pork supposedly for "flavor" but that typically means to cut costs. Every meat sauce they have is mixed with pork - even the chili. I was so disappointed because that cut the options in half for me as someone who doesn't eat pork. I'd been super excited to try the expresso martini tree since I saw it on social media but it's $85. I can't fathom that price, so I skipped it. They were pretty busy for Labor Day Monday, and only 2 servers and the manager were on. Service was okay to slow. My first drink was the Guava Lava which I was excited about because I love spice and guava. Barely tasted the guava and the jalapeño overpowered the whole drink. I asked to have more guava added and there were nice about it, but the drink came back just tasting sweeter, not like guava at all. They need to change the name of the drink, guava is non existent in this flavor profile. Wasn't a fan of the Midnight Mocha cocktail either, it was really whiskey forward and that's all you could taste. My mom got a burger - the bluesy Lucy - and I got the Mac Dog and Balsamic & Brie dog. They were fine. Nothing to write home about. Honestly, I prefer spike's - you better bigger hot dogs on torpedo rolls for the same price. Decor is fine, I like the coral and sea foam green colors. The chairs are those awful tin like ones that start to hurt after a half hour. I'd maybe go back one more time to give them another chance, but for the love of god folks, please make a pork free chili so a hot dog lover like me can have the most classic hot dogs in existence! read more

I've been here twice now. I'll just pop in grab a dog. I enjoyed the hotdog but the service for it to have been empty basically both times I went was a little slow especially for me to literally be getting one dog. I got the Chili Cheese Dog with the cheese on the side so it didn't get too messy and the amount of cheese someone adds to something can get subjective. Better safe than sorry and just add it the way you see fit. But that's just me. The ambiance is super cute. The pink and green is adorable very old school nostalgia vibe. Definitely will go back soon to try some of the more special dogs with my man. read more

Get the meatballs. Get the beef hot dog (it's worth the upgrade). Wally's was a good stop, especially on national hot dog day! They have a deal every Wednesday that you get a free Classic with every main dish purchased, so it was great to try some extra dogs. Our favorite of the night were the meatballs, which we had to try after they won an award for their meatballs a few months back. They were light and flavorful - I loved the hot dog bun as bread touch too! The standard hot dog is mediocre at best though. Nothing special and felt a little undercooked. It's well worth the upgrade to the beef dog or I would try getting it grilled next time. The beef dog that my husband got was well worth it. The other concern I had was that it smelled strongly of cleaning solutions when we walked in. Not sure if that was just the day we were there, but it was a little unpleasant to dine in and smell while eating. I hope that was just a fluke that day though. Service was also just okay. We were seated at a table in the bar section, which seemed annoying for the bartender to get to. I think it was extra busy for a Wednesday night due to it being National hot dog day, so they were not appropriately staffed for how busy it was. read more

The new Wally's in Providence is just as wonderful as the OG Newport location. They did a great job paying tribute to the former beloved Canteen restaurant giving it that same charm and personality we love. Of course, we sat at the bar and made friends with the patrons around of us and of course, the bartenders who were amazing. We went (in July) opening weekend and had such a fun time. The vibe was exceptional as were the drinks. We will be back soon to try more of their offerings and the different spaces to sit! The added bonus - there's a parking lot with valet (something Newport definitely doesn't have)! So excited to have another Wally's to visit. Cheers! read more

5.00 for a regular hot dog with mustard, onions . Was a perfect steamed dog with a good snap as eating. Roll needed steaming more .

Definitely worth a stop if you're in Newport! Amazing drinks, plenty of options to choose from when it came down to whatever toppings you wanted on your hotdogs, and I highly recommend getting starters to share like the fried pickles, onion rings, and the Thames street fries. My family and I devoured our meals and they were amazingly fast to seat our family of 7 within 30 minutes for a late lunch on a busy summer Saturday. Drinks were also really good - we'd recommend the guava lava and their espresso martinis. It's definitely more fast paced and casual when it comes to the ambiance. read more

The new Wally's is just as wonderful as the OG. They paid nice tribute to the old canteen while making it just as charming at the Newport Wally's location. The bar tenders were amazing. We went opening weekend and it was a lot of fun. The vibe there is always exceptional, and the drinks match that. We loved Newport Wallys, but this one is great too. The added plus? They have a parking lot with valet. Newport doesn't have that. Check this new spot out and you'll b glad that you did. read more

Review: 5/5 Stars - The Wiener of My Dreams If you haven't been to Wally's Wieners to see Katie, are you even living? I walked in feeling like a deflated balloon, but Katie is basically a licensed therapist who happens to serve alcohol. She sat there and patiently listened to me vent about my day--the boss, the traffic, the existential dread--all while keeping my glass filled with exceptionally great beer. And let's talk about the main event: I don't say this lightly, but that was the best wiener I've ever put in my mouth. Perfectly snapped, juicy, and seasoned like it was blessed by the gods of encased meats. To top it all off, she whipped up a killer espresso martini to caffeinate my soul and send me on my way. I came in crying and left buzzing and full of hot dogs. 10/10, Katie is a legend. read more

New to the hill - it is a chill spot with a large menu. There are lots of burger and dog choices, something for everybody. Even the apps had nice flair to the selection. I can't pinpoint what it was, but I wasn't wowed by the food and service here which is what I kind of expect from a restaurant on the hill. I'll have to come back soon and see if that changes! read more

Already tried the Newport location and now the Providence location is check off as tried too! This location is very new, and looks similar to the OG location with its iconic pink and blues decor. Tables are clean, and serves was prompt, kind, and efficient in getting our orders. Ordered the Nashville chicken to share with my friend and the staff did a lovely gesture and cute it in half for us! I didn't expect it to be sandwich~ but it was delicious. I expected more of a spicy kick but it did have good savory flavor, chicken was juicy and hot, and I enjoyed it very much. Spice level is at a good level 4/10z I ordered my favorite pizza dog! It was just as good as I remembered it, the good combo of pizza cheese and pepperoni and hotdog mix. I ordered a mocha martini, and it was strong but delicious in the bitter side. I ordered a ginger ale soda too~ straws are optional and received upon request. As our sweet treat, we got a tiramisu. Nothing too special. I was coffee flavor I think. Creamy but simple. Can't say it's better than the Newport location, but I did enjoy my food experience. I would rather come here for my dog cravings~ I'm very interested in the drink menus and might give that a try more next time since they have a good variety~ read more

Listen, I don't know what kind of magic they are practicing at Wally's Wieners, but I'm pretty sure Katie the bartender is actually a high-level sorceress moonlighting in hospitality. I walked in looking for a hot dog; I walked out wondering if I should put Katie in my will and name her my emergency contact. Here is the breakdown of why you need to get here immediately: The Drink: The Chai Espresso Martini I've had espresso martinis before, but Katie's Chai Espresso Martini is a spiritual experience. It's like a caffeinated hug from a spice cloud. I took one sip and suddenly I could see the future--and in that future, I was ordering three more. It's perfectly balanced, frothy, and has enough kick to make you want to fight a bear and win. The Food: The Best Wieners in Existence Let's talk about the wieners. These aren't just hot dogs; they are culinary masterpieces. I don't know if Katie whispers words of encouragement to the buns or what, but they are perfection. I ate mine so fast I'm fairly certain I forgot to breathe. No regrets. The Vibe: Katie is the Main Character The best part? Katie herself. Within five minutes, I forgot I was at a public establishment and felt like I was hanging out in my best friend's kitchen. She is effortlessly hilarious, handles the bar like a pro, and has that rare "we've known each other for ten years" energy. Warning: You will come for a quick bite and end up staying for three hours because Katie's wit is more addictive than the caffeine. Summary: If you want world-class wieners, a life-changing martini, and a new best friend who makes you laugh until your sides hurt, go see Katie. If you don't like it, that's a "you" problem. read more

I stopped in for lunch today. They'd' just opened, so I got my pick of tables. I had the veggie dog and fries. That is by far the best veggie dog I've ever had! Nice snap, perfect condiments, and even a gluten-free bun that was toasty and warm. The fries were also crispy and well seasoned, and definitely enough to share! Excellent, attentive service, and the place was very, very clean! Yay! read more

Ok, finally made it here. Ambiance is very cool. Love the vintage bar in back from old restaurant. Had a few weiners. Love selection of weiners, but disappointed they used regular hot dogs. If they used actual weiner dogs, this would make it over the top. They are missing the snap of a weiner. Onion rings cooked very well, and not greasy at all. Now, the expresso martini menu!! Not enough great things to say here. Had the dark chocolate expresso martini, YUMMY! So many good ones to choose from. Can't wait to go back and try other ones. Kelly, my bartender was great. Made great conversation, and knows how to make those drinks! Hope to get here again! read more

Wally's never disappoints. This is one of those places you keep coming back to because everything just hits. The smash burgers are top tier- crispy, juicy and full of flavor and the weiners and fries are always spot on. I can't leave without having the cookie skillet, warm and gooey, ridiculous in the best way. What really sets this place apart though is the bar. Katie is hands down one of the best bartenders around. She's personable, quick, genuinely funny and makes everyone feel welcome the moment they sit down. You can tell that she loves what she does and it shows in the experience. Great food, great atmosphere and even better service. We'll keep coming back for sure! read more

I was talking with my friend, and she said, "Oh you have to try this place! They have hot dogs and martinis!" And as one does when someone suggests you pair weenies with upscale cocktails, you sort of make a face and say, "Sure, ok." Well, I have to say, I am now sold on the hot dog and martini pairing. Wally's Wieners is an odd sort of place that is half upscale cafe and half, beach shack weenie joint. It's delightfully cute and retro inside with pink walls and white painted moulding and cute, cafe style tables. The menu is expansive for both drinks and weenies. Since I can't resist an espresso martini, I ordered the White Chocolate Raspberry one and it was decadent. The weenie list includes all of your favorites and some combinations you never could have imagined like the Girl Dinner with a caesar salad on top. I ordered the Big Mac style weenie with lettuce, pickles, onion, American cheese and Wally sauce, and I upgraded to an all beef hot dog. We also ordered the fried pickles and old bay fries, and since everything was so affordable, I worried we wouldn't have enough food. Then it came and I realized I was going to be eating fried pickles and fries for days. Which is great! Because they were some of the best French fries and fried pickles I HAVE EVER HAD. The best part? At the end of my incredibly delicious meal, I had a sweet, espresso martini to wash everything down. Absolutely recommend for EVERYONE! This could be a great date night, a pre-game place, or even a family dinner or luncheon. read more

I went in the other weekend to have a few beers with my friends and I swear this bartender MEADOW has a magic power. Any time my beer got close to being low enough for me to ask for another she had already cracked one and left it just behind me nearly finished beer. My job after that was simple, finish my current beer and grab the fresh cracked beer that was just placed maybe seconds before I was done. I also order the barkin buffalo chicken sandwich and could not stop thinking about it since. If you looking for a place with good food, great service, and is fun to be at just head to Wally's and ask for Meadow. read more

Everything was delicious. It was fun to try different hot dogs. I have been twice now and they have a parking lot which is a plus

I was craving espresso martinis and my usual place had an hour wait, cue Wally's. We got a hot dog tower (5 hot dogs, fries of your choice and 5 sauces). We fell in love! I got the original espresso martini and it was very good. All of the hot dogs were so good, but our favorites were the girl dinner (topped with Caesar salad and fries) and the pizza hot dogs my fiancé ordered. It had a fun whimsical feel inside and the prices weren't bad. Parking can be tricky since their lot is so small. Next time we will try to beat their hot dog eating challenge!! read more
