Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Rhody Bros. of Florida
1. What makes Rhody Bros. of Florida unique?
We're bringing authentic Rhode Island flavors to the Sunshine State! Our menu features regional favorites like our signature wieners (don't call 'em hot dogs!), smash burgers, and coffee milk. We ship in special pork and veal franks from Rhode Island, use a secret scratch-made meat sauce, and hand-cut our fries and onion rings for that fresh, handmade touch. It's a taste of New England right here in Mary Esther, perfect for transplants and locals alike.
2. What's the difference between a "wiener" and a hot dog?
Ah, the eternal question! In Rhode Island, we call them "wieners"—not "hot dogs"—to honor the tradition. Our Rhode Island System’s Wiener is a classic pork and veal frank in a steamed bun, topped "all the way" with deli mustard, our signature meat sauce, minced onions, and celery salt. It's a flavor explosion that's distinctly Rhode Island. #dontcallitahotdog
3. Do you offer a military discount?
Absolutely! We're right near Eglin and Hurlburt Air Force bases, so we love supporting our service members. First-time customers with military ID get a special discount, like our current promotion, which is a free wiener. Just mention it at checkout—we've got your back!
4. What are your hours of operation?
We're open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 8 PM for food, with our bar kicking in from 4 PM to 8 PM. We're closed on Mondays to recharge and perfect our secret recipes. Swing by our fixed location at 101 West Miracle Strip in Mary Esther—we've got an outdoor patio and even pontoon rentals nearby for a full day of fun.
5. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash and all major credit cards through our Clover system, plus Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay for quick, contactless payments. Sorry, no checks, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal at this time—we keep it simple and secure.
6. Do you offer delivery or takeout?
We do currently offer deliverywith DoorDashh. We're all about that food truck vibe with on-site dining at our high-visibility spot on Highway 98.
7. What's coffee milk, and why should I try it?
Think chocolate milk, but better—it's a Rhode Island staple made with coffee syrup for an ice-cold, refreshing twist. It's creamy, caffeinated, and pairs perfectly with our wieners or smash burgers. If you're from New England, it'll taste like home; if not, it's your new favorite drink!
8. Are your ingredients fresh and handmade?
You bet! Everything is made with care: hand-cut fries (try 'em "beef stew" style with salt, ketchup, and malt vinegar), hand-sliced and battered onion rings, and our secret meat sauce crafted from scratch. We source authentic wieners shipped straight from Rhode Island to keep that genuine flavor alive.
9. Can I customize my order?
We keep it classic but flexible. Our 401 Smash Burger comes with smashed onions, American cheese, signature sauce, and pickles—you can go with or without cheese, but no full build-your-own options. For wieners, "all the way" is the traditional way, but let us know if you want to tweak toppings like mustard or onions.
