Firehouse Hot Dogs, located in Johnston, Rhode Island, stands out as a beloved fast food gem. This establishment, recently under new ownership, has successfully embraced innovation while maintaining its nostalgic charm. Reviewers, like local Steven, express deep gratitude for the welcoming atmosphere and diverse menu, which now includes tantalizing shakes and a wider array of dishes beyond hot dogs.

Customers rave about the delicious hot dogs with toasted buns, and the comforting presence of favorite toppings, making it a perfect late-night snack spot.

Unlike many ol' timers here. I understand inflation is a thing, and the prices are still considered pretty low and the food is great. I get it carol, you use to go to this place in the 80s and get hot dogs for 50 cents. But you know what? A brand new Buick Regal was 6000 back then too.

Always love these guys. Especially those Wednesday Thru Sunday late nights. Probably shouldn't be eating at that hour and its definitely not that often. But, love them. Service is amazing.

2nd time coming here. Burgers and fries are really good, haven't tried the hotdogs yet. I'll have to try them sometime. The shakes are pretty good, just need to pump in less of the flavor used. My salted carmel shake was extremely to sweet. Worth the trip though.

They've been here for as long as I can remember! Nothing fancy, but definitely a place to make memories! Get yourself a hotdog with the toasted bun and a coffee milk to wash it down! I hope they never close

Recently under new ownership. However, there are significantly more menu items and now shakes are offered. The prices, for the most part, are decently fair. Great for a quick bite with a group of friends or somewhere to eat in the wee hours of the night. As a local, this is a recurring place I find myself, and I'm glad the new owners improved on the establishment. Update roughly a year after that: I'm significantly disappointed I can't give higher than a 5 star review. This place is amazing and I can't be more thankful for an establishment as great as this in my home town. Calling this a staple is an understatement. The very Fibre of North providence lives in this business and it should be protected at all costs.

Favorite food trailer of all time. Steak and cheese is delicious, they do custom milkshakes (including things like fruity pebbles, Oreos, strawberry banana and more, with the ability to mix any of the flavors). The doughboys and fried Oreos are to die for. 10/10 would definitely recommend

I always forget about this spot, until I drive by late night and notice they are open. I always get their grilled cheese and chocolate milk. Which is nice that they have it, a lot of places don't anymore. I've also had fried oreos from here before, never been disappointed and I've never waited more than 5-10 minutes even when it's busier. I like that I can just sit in my car and they have a loud speaker to announce when orders are ready. Perfect for rainy and cold nights.
