Baba's Original New York System

"Walked from the downtown Marriott for a Saturday night meal for the first time at Baba’s. The hot dogs were good. The celery salt was an interesting flavor. The staff was nice and friendly"

"Friends, do not approach with prejudice by looking from the outside. Be sure to try the food of this restaurant. Clean restaurant! Friendly service! A wide variety of menu! Reasonable prices!"

"Upon entering the establishment at around 3pm, I was struck by the serene ambiance that pervaded the interior. The stark contrast between the tranquil atmosphere inside and the lackluster exterior was noticeable, albeit not surprising. As my main objective was to indulge in their renowned hot dogs, I paid little attention to the overall aesthetics or cleanliness of the place. Upon placing my order, I eagerly awaited the arrival of my culinary selections. To my delight, my hot dogs and coffee milk were promptly served at my table. The first bite of the hot dog was a revelation - a burst of unique flavors that set it apart from the competition. However, I couldn't help but notice that the texture of the hot dogs leaned towards the softer side, which was a minor inconvenience. Despite this minor flaw, I found myself becoming a fan of the establishment's hot dogs and already looking forward to trying their other sandwich offerings in the future. The distinct flavors and overall experience have piqued my curiosity, and I plan to return for more gastronomic adventures. In conclusion, while the exterior may not have been impressive, the serene ambiance inside, prompt service, and delectable hot dogs with their unique flavors have won me over. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to explore further culinary delights that this establishment has to offer."

"Great place to grab a hot wiener, I’ve always been a fan of Olneyville New York System but after visiting Baba’s I might have a new favorite. The menu here is definitely more extensive, although let’s be honest if I’m coming here I’m probably getting 3 all the way. The food is just as good as Olneyville and the prices are similar, maybe slightly higher but nothing significant. I don’t think they have coffee milk on the menu (could be wrong) but they do have shakes. I will say it’s less of a classic RI feel, so if you have family or friends visiting and they want to try a hot wiener, I’d take them to Olneyville. But as a local, this just might be a better option."

"Delicious food! We arrived at 7pm. The owner was super friendly, conversational and provided free samples of their strawberry shortcake and Nutella milkshakes. Both tasted great! If I wasn’t watching the calories, I’d get the Nutella one. The weiners are scrumptious! Get those! I ate a tasty beef-lamb gyro with hot, crispy fries. I will definitely come back here when I’m in Providence again. I recommend dining here. It’s very worthwhile even parking may be limited."
