About Our Rhode Island
Food Truck
Hey there, food adventurers! If you've ever wondered what happens when authentic New England grit crashes into Florida's laid-back vibes, you've found it. We're a food truck parked at 101 West Miracle Strip in Mary Esther, FL, slinging Rhode Island-inspired eats like our famous wieners (don't you dare call them hot dogs!), smash burgers that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance, and coffee milk that's basically a hug in a cup.
Established in 2025, we're all about bringing that craveable, no-nonsense Rhode Island flavor to the panhandle—think high-visibility spot on Highway 98, outdoor patio chills, and even pontoon rentals nearby for when you need to work off those onion rings or french fries. Rhody Bros. of Florida in Mary Esther, FL, can be reached at 401-365-5978.
Meet the Food Truck Owner
Picture this: Two guys from Rhode Island, growing up, eating legendary wieners at spots like Olneyville New York System, dreaming of sharing that magic far and wide. That's our founders, two guys from Rhode Island with extensive experience in the food and restaurant world. It all started back in the day, honing skills in high-volume kitchens where the heat was on (literally)—managing chaos, flipping burgers faster than a seagull steals fries, and perfecting recipes that make people say, "Whoa, that's next-level!"
HOW WE GOT STARTED: The owners connected on Facebook, sparking a lively conversation about culinary aspirations. He posed an intriguing question to the group, asking if anyone had the desire to embark on an exciting venture by opening a food truck in Florida that would showcase and celebrate the beloved Rhode Island specialties. The idea of bringing those unique flavors to a new audience generated a buzz among the members, with many expressing enthusiasm for the possibility of sharing their heritage through delicious food.
One day, while whipping up a batch of scratch-made meat sauce (secret recipe, shh!), he had an epiphany: Why not bring Rhode Island's quirky classics to the military heroes at Eglin and Hurlburt bases and all the New England transplants missing home? Boom— Rhody Bros. of Florida was born in 2025 as a labor of love, parked in a prime spot with an outdoor patio that's perfect for pondering life's big questions, like "single or double smash burger?"
At Rhody Bros. of Florida, our mission is simple: Share those craveable, hyper-specific Rhode Island flavors with the Florida community—from hand-cut fries doused in "beef stew" style (salt, ketchup, malt vinegar—trust us) to onion rings battered fresh daily. We're talking authentic eats that transport you to the Ocean State without the traffic on I-95. Whether you're a local craving something new, a service member needing a taste of comfort, or a snowbird reminiscing about coffee milk summers, we're here to serve it up hot, handmade, and delicious.
(Fun fact: In Rhode Island, wieners are so iconic, they've got their own lore—like the "gaggers" debate or how celery salt became the unsung hero. We're keeping that tradition alive, one celery-sprinkled bun at a time!)
Rhody Bros. proudly ships factory-fresh products directly from Rhode Island to you. These wieners are a key part of Rhode Island's culinary heritage, particularly the "New York System" wiener tradition, which traces its roots to Greek immigrants in the early 20th century who popularized small, pork-based wieners topped with meat sauce, onions, mustard, and celery salt.
We've got the experience to back it up. Years of managing bustling kitchens taught us efficiency, private chef gigs honed our creativity, and now? We're your go-to for that perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation. Swing by Tuesday-Sunday from 11 AM to 8 PM (the bar opens at 4 PM for Narragansett beer and more), grab a seat on the patio, and let's make some memories. Questions? Hit us up at 401-365-5978.
