Wein-O-Rama — Restaurant in Cranston

5 Stars — A Classic Revived!

Wein-O-Rama has always been a Rhode Island staple, but under the new ownership of Chris Tasca, it’s better than ever! Chris has truly brought new life into this classic spot — from the beautifully remodeled bathrooms to the brand-new tables and booths, everything has been upgraded with care and purpose while still keeping the vintage vibe alive!

One of the best additions is the new pickup window on the side of the building — perfect for grabbing one (or a few) of their famous Hot Weiners — all the way! without having to dine in. It’s quick, convenient, and still gives you that authentic “Rhody Dog” experience on the go.

The vibe inside the restaurant is immaculately efficient — clean, cozy, and full of warmth. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in to the moment you head out. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast or a classic lunch, they’ve got you covered — and they serve both all day long!

You can really feel the family-oriented energy in the air. It’s clear that Chris cares deeply about this place and the community around it. I’ll definitely be back again and again.

Great job, Chris — Wein-O-Rama is...

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...

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...
