“ Today, May 13, 2025 was the Re-Opening of Weinorama!! My parents and I were met with a long line out the front door and as we got closer to inside, we met one of the owners, Chris Tasca. Chris was a Great Host, seating people and serving until his wife Kristina came over to take our order. Chris & Kristina, Hospitality Plus!! We ordered 5 "All The Way", large fries and 3 Cokes! The recipe is the same and that is why people will continue to make it a staple in RI!! I loved the 50's-60's music in the background which gave it a diner atmosphere. Also, the diner was "immaculate" and Kristina mentioned all the equipment, counters, tables and booths were all New. Great Experience and Highly Recommend!! Also, they had a Window Service for Take-Out--seemed to run smoothly! My father said, "when the original owners closed, it was like when all the Benny's Stores closing. It was very disheartening. When we heard another owner(s) were taking over, we had to come down today--to support!!" We will be back!! *New Owners: Chris Tasca and Eric Beaune' ”
“ Best weiners I've had. I will definitely go back. The temp was very warm the day we went. The sliding window for takeout was more than likely the reason. They do have a/c, but we didn't feel it much due to that. Eating inside might be an issue if you're sensitive to the heat. Otherwise, we loved it. Thanks for the good food!!! ”
“ Had lunch at the newly reopened Wein-O-Rama yeaterday and was not dissapointed. The place was packed, and we had to wait about 10 minutes for a seat. The interior has been renovated with new booths and counter seating. Once seated we were promptly greeted by a delightfully pleasant server. I ordered the traditional 3 wieners all the way, small fries (cooked crispy) and coffee milk. It didn’t take long for the food to arrive. The fries were cooked to perfection and the wieners were delicious. The coffee milk was the perfect finish to the meal, cold and tasty. This establishment has been around since I was a child, and wieners were 15 each! Though the price has risen, the quality and taste of the food is as good as it ever was. Also you may bump into a Rhode Island celebraty sitting down for a bite.Gene Valicenti was dining there when we went, and he was gracious and cordial to all who stopped to say "Hi!" That said, I was disappointed to see he didn't order 3 all the way...LOL! I highly recommend visiting Wien-O-Rama at your earliest convenience. ”
“ Just checked out Wein-O-Rama in Cranston took a cross-country trip there, (25-minute drive), I grabbed a couple of "all the way" wieners for myself and two plain ones for my furry friends. The buns were fresh and steamed, the wieners are preformed not rope, the sauce has a slight cinnamon / allspice to it that I'd never tasted before, definitely different. The mustard could have been a bit bolder, was lighty applied but overall it was a fantastic wiener, easily deserving an 8.2 rating. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're in the Cranston area, don't miss out! ”
“ Wein-O-Rama has been around since 1962. The year I was born. We frequently came here for our weiners throughout the years and decades with my parents ,my kids,and grandkids. I was shocked to hear it was closing,but excited that it had been bought and with the original recipes. I went on opening day. It's just as good as it was for all those years. Thank you for keeping all of our memories alive Chris and Eric. ”
“ A throwback to lunch counters of a bygone era. Service was fast and friendly. The food was prepared fresh and served piping hot. But, if you go, you have to have their signature weiner "all the way". ”
“ Glad the new owners opened it back up. Food is good. They added a takeout window. Now for some constructive criticism. The guy making the weenies needs to slow down and make them right. I got 4 all the way and 3 of them had a little bit of onions and only in the middle. I would rather wait a little longer for well made weenies. The guy wrapping the weenies needs practice. While I was there someone (I think 1 of the owners) told him he needs wrap better.. the take out window needs some cones or something. You get in line to order the people just still stand next to the window that just ordered. Since the girl who takes the orders is on the left you should order on the left then wait on the right. Not hating just easy fixes I think will make things better ”
“ Always excellent. This place is a treasure. Excellent food. Excellent workers. Great prices. BEST Hot Weiners in the WORLD. Their burgers and fries are also delicious. If you’re visiting RI come here and enjoy the Rhode Island life with hot weiners and some coffee milk. ”
