Somehow we just learned about this place, and I wish we would have known sooner. My Husband has been craving a Chicago dog since the last Chicago eatery closed their doors years ago. When we found out, we rushed over for a Father's day meal. The atmosphere was pretty cool, interesting pictures on the walls, someone put a lot of effort, time and thought into the decorating of this establishment. All men running the joint, we told the guy who took our order(who was very nice), it was our first time here. They have been in business for 16 years(not at this location)! So lets get down to the food. My Husband ordered the two dog combo, one a Chicago dog, another a sauerkraut dog, it came with fries. He sad the dogs were amazing, they hit all the marks. The fries were ok, a little room temp(but to be fare we came there 30 minutes before closing). The soda's were really great, not two sirupy, not too carbonated, we enjoyed them. I ordered a pizza with Italian sausage added. They gave us our drinks for free, which was awesome. I didn't know what to expect with the pizza, but I was blown away by it. They should be very proud of the recipe they created. Most places over season/spice their sauces. The flavor of the tomato gets drowned out. This was absolutely not the case the sauce did not sow out the crust whatsoever it held its crisp the whole time. The sausage was wonderful. The cheese was everything you wanted on a pizza. I can say it's the best than crust pizza I think I've ever had. My husband tried it and we fought over who was going to be eating it for lunch tomorrow. It was huge. I wasn't expecting it to be that big. I will be dreaming about that pizza, and craving it. This is my go to place to get good pizza. It blows Nikki's out of the water. If you are craving some good then crust, pizza, or hotdog I suggest you go there. They also have chili fries, cheesesteaks, so much. They have one of those menus, where everything looks good, and it's hard to decide. Just try it. Warning, this pizza is 14 in(seemed bigger), and it being thin crust, and tasting so good, you might find yourself eating the whole thing. Wish we had pics to post, but we did not think of doing it, will do next time(which will probably be later this week, it was that good). read more

Wiseguys is tucked into a small shopping strip with plenty of easy parking. Come hungry because their sandwiches are pretty dang big. They offer two sizes, and we ordered the smaller regular Americana Cheesesteak, the Cartel, a shared order of fries, and two fountain drinks. Our total came to about $35, which felt like a good value for the amount of food. Service was friendly and they served our food to the table very fast. The fries were your typical frozen fries and came unseasoned, but that wasn't a big deal. We added our own seasoning. One thing to note is that they only serve Pepsi products. That's a big bummer for me because I'm a Dr Pepper girl, but it isn't a complete dealbreaker because they also offer tea. Now let's talk about my sandwich. It was loaded with so much meat that I couldn't even fit it in my mouth! I ended up taking some of the meat out and adding it to the fries, which turned out yummy. The steak was well seasoned, and the lettuce, tomato, and mayo ratio tasted perfect. If you're looking for a hearty cheesesteak that will definitely fill you up, Wise Guys is worth checking out. I'll definitely be back! read more

Nice ambiance but practically dog food. Very very low quality food. Neither my husband or I could finish our food. Edit to respond to Bill: I'm so sorry Bill! :( I'm not from Chicago, maybe that's the issue. read more

The Italian Beef is a must here! Wow ! I also tried the Maxwell Street Polish (chefs kiss) Definitely one of the best polish hotdogs Ive had outside of Chicago. The Chicago Dog was good, not the best I've had. (6/10) The fries were a huge disappointment, unfortunately. Would skip them entirely next time. (2/10) Also, I was disappointed in the drink selection, no Old Style nor Goose Island to wash down the food for the full authentic experience. Loved the decor. Surprised they had little foot traffic for how good this place is. Service was mid. I will definitely consider coming back again. read more

We found this place on Yelp while my husband was craving a sub, and since it had great reviews, we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 5:40 p.m., and although the restaurant was empty, we didn't mind at all. The place was very clean, the staff was friendly, and the cashier even shared a bit of the story behind Wiseguys, which was a nice touch. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and we're glad we chose this spot for dinner. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal! read more

The food was okay and the staff was friendly. Gives you a sports bar vibe but no games were on. I was told they won't pay for a sports package. So sad when it used to be a place for Bears fans to watch the game. Fine for pickup not a good eat in place. Hope they figure out their target market are people who like to watch sports. read more

Stopped in here on a whim because I needed a quick takeout order. The lady taking the order at the counter was very pleasant. The menu has a lot of great options and a pretty good lunch special. I had the 1/2 Italian beef dipped and a side of fries. The food was hot, the beef was flavorful, and the fries were perfectly salted. I can't wait to go back to try more. read more

I have been waiting to try this place for a bit. I went for lunch yesterday. I fell in love with a Chicago hotdog when I was in Chicago after running the marathon. I was very impressed. The damn dog was delicious. I loved the sesame buns! The staff were extremely friendly especially the lady brining the orders out. Looks like a great menu and I can't wait to try the Italian beef. The decor was very interesting and very Chicago like. Quite a different beer selection, but I can always find something. Hard to get a shot of the menu because it was on electric boards. This place is on the outskirts of Pflugerville and it is definitely worth your try! read more

Hi Bill!! I am such a fan of your work on yelp. It's hilarious super entertaining. That's why you got two stars rather than one. I got the Italian beef. I'm not sure why there wasn't cheese on there and the amount of peppers was almost nonexistent. I'm pretty sure you use Steakems for your beef and unfortunately, you don't know how to make it cause it was dry and nasty. Your jus taste like salt water. your fries are poor quality, undercooked, and underseasoned your floor is very sticky. I guess the bread was fine.. your hotdog bun needs some work. good luck to you. I hope you can figure out how to improve your food and I hope to hear from you soon thanks, Bill. Update: Gladly, I'm going to make myself as scarce as possible. I don't need any beef with you bill; cause your beef is nasty. read more

In town for a conference and looking for something a little different; love Chicago food so decided to give this place a shot and I'm glad I did! Ordered the Godfather Meatball Sub, which includes an Italian sausage link. Hands down one of the best meatball subs I've ever had - and I've had a bunch. Great service from a super friendly guy named Cal; when I'm back in Austin I'll visit again for sure - the menu has a LOT of great Chicago-style options. read more

Being from Chicago I was very excited to try this place. Once I entered I got the sense I was back in my hometown, the vintage pictures all over the walls, the Michael Jordan jersey hanging down and the Cubs sign near the restrooms, the only thing missing was the 10in snow! lol. I ordered the lunch special Chicago dog- 2 hot dogs placed on a poppyseed bun which was very soft might I add, it was topped with mustard relish raw onions tomato's pickle spear pepper and salt. It also comes with a drink and fries. The fries were very fresh and hot, I don't normally eat a lot of fries because you know...I'm trying to WaTCH mY FiGuRe lol but best believe I ate every single one of them. Ketchup and napkins on deck right at your table. I will definitely be back. I had to take a nap after I was done with that meal. If I had one gripe which is very small it is that I wasn't greeted upon entering. Other than that a wonderful place very clean and a great environment to take your family read more

I don't write reviews pretty much ever. But this.. smh. I'm from Chicago. Been in Austin for 4yrs. I absolutely never expect anyone claiming to be a "Chicago" spot.. to be like home. My bar is set low. Expectations is low. That's how I come in. I had Rosatis Pizza in cedar park. It's was ok. Just happy to get a close enough taste of home. I'm by myself - been waiting to try this place, so I order 3 things to see what's what. 1. Pizza puff. 2. Cheese steak. 3. Pizza.. because obviously. "What about the hotdog?!" - it's a hotdog. A street vendor can crush that. 1. Pizza puff they don't have to make themselves. Deep fry. Done. Taste like it's from home. Ok fine. But my 3yr old can do that. 2. Cheese steak - cheese barely melted. The meat tasted like it came out of a bag. Just wet. Not cooked.. like it sat in a pot. They tossed it on and treated it like it was Italian beef. But. It's a cheese steak. Cooked like crap. Taste like you can buy frozen stuff and make a better sandwich. Now here's the problem... Don't ever claim to be a Chicago spot... and sell what you sold me. 3. Pizza. - this was a tortilla, almost uncooked. With a little red sauce and a pound of cheese. Hoping the cheese could hide the bs of whatever this is. This isn't chicago pizza.. it wasn't even pizza. It was trash. A piece of paper has more crisp to it than this did. I took 3 bites and left it. So the best thing came out of a fryer and to the tray. find the owner, have him contact me. I'll remove this- once I hear he's gonna fly in and get this joint back on track. Your staff is ruining a good thing... your name and the city of Chicago's name. Just skip this joint. $28 for trash food. Pizza - Rosati's or Home Slice is better. Cheesesteak - Jersey Mike's can do better. Puff... well.. at least they have that. read more

Love the beef sandwiches and the Chicago dogs. Deal on 2 hot dogs w/fries today - just right for us to share. Brought home half of a beef sandwich w/peppers. Can't have too much of a good thing all at once. The new Red Door restaurant in Georgetown is very busy so haven't gotten in there yet but hoping for the same tasty sandwiches and hot dogs there, which is much closer. Wonderful treat on a gloomy Tuesday! Highly recommended! read more

It's been a while since my previous review so I thought I would update it with a few more photos and comments. This is still one of my favorite places to get authentic Chicago fare such as Italian beef and Vienna hotdogs. We came here for a late lunch, but missed their lunch specials which end at 2 PM. I suggest sticking with their Chicago specialty items as opposed to getting something like chicken tenders which are really basic. They actually do offer authentic Vienna beef hotdogs which they ship in from Chicago. Along with the usual fountain drinks, you might be pleased to know they do offer some bottled craft beer as well. read more

Long time Chicagoan eating here for the first time. You are greeted by red checker table, cloths and a counter toward the back, where you order your meal. Tried the wet Italian beef with cheese and red sauce. Italian beef was very authentic great flavor the right spices A+. The bread was a sorry soggy mess. In Chicago they typically use a French bread. The most authentic and commonly used brands are Gonnella or Turano. "A crusty, dense, and chewy Italian-style roll. Brands: Gonnella and Turano are the standard, authentic choices in Chicago. Characteristics: It must be sturdy to handle the "dipped" (entirely submerged) or "wet" (extra gravy) serving style, retaining texture without becoming immediately mushy." The bread here falls apart. Not good. The fries were good, but would've been better if they were crispy. Maybe you have to ask for that. Next trip to round rock, we will be back to try the hotdog and also the Italian sausage. read more

Edit: go ahead and read his comment, knew he would show his true colors! Owner is unprofessional responding to reviews, not a way to run a business. Just because someone actually speaks up for shitty quality or a bad experience and doesn't give you the right to be a piece of shit. Family got "food" from here delivered and usually never write reviews but did because it was that horrible. Maybe try and make things right besides just insulting people! read more

This is the definition of looks can be deceiving! Coming from the Midwest (Detroit), Chicago is only up the street and I've been several times and the flavor didn't represent the Chicago flavors. The chicken was bland and had no flavors. It was also dry, needs more sause and or just not to overcook the chicken to keep it's original juicyness. I'm glad I ordered the spicy peppers which helped give it some flavor but still needed more salt, and basic seasoning. I ordered extra cheese, and I'm glad I did because it barely had any at all! I also added bacon, but they barely added any. But there were plenty of veggies The service was very quick! I ordered and they had food ready. They asked my name and immediately gave me order! The restaurant was clean and simple! I'm sad to say I will not be back unless their is a major change in the cooking! read more

First off I would like to thank the entire staff for their excellent customer service and taking my husband and I even though it was 30 minutes before closing. You made our evening as we were both tired and not feeling well and didn't want to cook. This hasn't been my first time visiting this restaurant, but it is my first time leaving a well-deserved review . If you are a foodie, and you love hotdogs, you must try their Chicago style hotdog . Their bread is really soft, the green relish is delicious with the unique aftertaste, the mustard is great, and it's just an all-around amazing hotdog. I hate eating hotdogs where the bread feels gross and crumbly, but I didn't have that issue here. It was about a 10 minute wait for our food. Everything was made fresh. My husband got the cheese steak sandwich....omg. The interplay of flavor between cheese, peppers, and meat was delicious. The meat was nicely sliced and the mushrooms seemed to be prepared on the spot as well. We also got pizza fries. It's like pizza. But with fries! Lastly, we got the Italian cream cake. I don't know what's in it but you have a delicious cream cheese frosting with some nuts and some spices in the cake. Cinnamon? A pinch of clove? Magic? Either way, that was also delicious. The ambiance is also quaint and charming. it reminds me of sitting in the Italian delis I used to visit when I lived in California and it brought back so many memories... the decorations are very nice, and something about it makes you feel like you can catch up with a friend and talk about life. I also feel that the prices are really great considering the quality that you get. I will definitely be back ! read more

Read the reviews, thoroughly enjoyed Bill's responses. Decided to give it a try. We went about an hour or so before close, restaurant was nice and clean. Love the decor. A few folks coming and going for pickup. They were cleaning up and working on close prep, don't blame them. The restroom didn't have soap or paper towels, as I assume they were mid-replenish. As Bill has mentioned in multiple comments, I went to talk to staff and they addressed quickly. We ordered the meatballs sandwich, and the Italian beef sandwich. The food was prepared and served in a timely manner. The sauce on the meatball sandwich was sooo good, and there were a solid amount of meatballs. I devoured it. The Italian beef sandwich was good, great flavor and a solid ratio of meat and veggies. Good spot for a quick bite. I am not from Chicago so can't speak on authenticity, just can confirm our food was good, spot was clean, service on point. The setup for to go containers and sauce I found thoughtful. We are not in that area much, but we would stop in again. read more

Wise guys is reminiscent of a speakeasy on the inside with dark, red velvet curtains mixed in with a traditional deli wall art of famous people who walked in the joint - maybe not this particular location but from other sites. It is straight up Chicago with traditional Chicago styled hotdogs, Italian beef sandwiches, and foot longs with meats coming from Chicago's own Vienna Beef. No deep dish pizza here. It's all about the sandwiches. Hotdog was on point. It tasted like it came straight from Superdawg's on Milwaukee St. and the Italian Beef reminded me of my days out on Maxwell Street - both Chicago institutions. Service was phenomenal from ordering to receiving our food. I went back to the counter to order a cannoli, but when I sat down and opened the container it was smashed. Served noticed it too and brought us another one on the house. This place is legit. read more

Decent cheesesteak. Trying to find something to replace Texadelphia. So far, this comes close.

Chicago girl and I would prefer Rosati's. overall 3.5 out of 5. Pizza comes in only one size, 14 inch. Crust was pretty good but not much cheese for our liking. Philly cheesesteak was solid. $17 for the large open face sandwich. Easily filled my companion. Prices average Location is easy to find but a bit away from sight for drop ins. Service was just right; they were friendly. Cool Chicago memorabilia on the walls Called ahead to see if they serve beer and they said yes. Got there and they had 3 types with major brand selling out after we bought the last 2. Would have stayed longer and if they had more. All in all I would give it another try but truth be told I am a Chicago girl and I would prefer Rosati's food but Wise Guys ambience with what I saw on this visit. read more

Italian beef large and Soprano. Both sandwiches where 1/2 their normal size. The Soprano was too dry as well as small. Three weeks ago all was good as expected. Not sure what changed but we are most disappointed in the quality and the quantity. They'll get another chance because they are normally the best! read more

Loved it! Atmosphere was fun, food delicious and customer service was great! Cheesesteak, pizza burger and trash bin recommend all of them!

As a native Chicagoan, it's always great to find a place away from home that can cook up a hot dog the way it was meant to be eaten. Our party of three ate a Maxwell St. Polish, chicago style dog, fries, rings, and an Italian beef (wet, with giardiniara). My only gripe? Not enough giardiniara. Small error which will be rectified the next time we visit. We didn't order tavern style pizza, but we will the next time we come up to Georgetown. As for service, it seemed a bit slow on the Saturday afternoon when we visited, but nothing that I'd reduce the rating for. You should check this place out when you're hungry. Eat up! read more

Another hit, but we already knew that! Dining is casual which is perfect for anyone who's busy but wants a delicious bite for a great price!

The atmosphere is always calm and casual even when busy! Definitely recommend! read more

Wanted a happy hour spot and had a great chicago feel with all the chicago sports photos and signage. I asked if they show chicago sports games and it does happen but have to ask as it's for the people which I get so if chicago teams are ever good I'd go here. Service was quick, it was a slow afternoon so I got my food quickly. I had the chicken cheese steak and it was with plenty of veggies in peppers onions and mushrooms. Fries weren't salted much but can add after which I liked. Mozzarella sticks were thick and not too thin. read more

Edit: The owner will call you a liar when they can't take an honest review and call them out for disgusting behavior by staff. Also if I wanted good frozen fries for a reasonable price I will go to McDonald's. Over priced for frozen fries and mediocre sandwiches.

Overall, the experience and ambiance were incredible. The lady at the counter could have shown a little more personality and excitement, but her customer service skills were sufficient. I ordered the 1/2 pound bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. Utterly delicious! If you check in on Yelp, you get a free cannoli...equally as tasteful. The decorations on the wall made the restaurant truly Chicagoan in nature. Lots of fun! Clean, well-maintained, and organized as well. For a fun night out on the town, check out Wise Guys. read more

Never been to Chicago, but it meets the expectations of what I would be looking for in the food scene. The vibe feels very old school counter top service too, which I dig. If you go to Chicago, you need to get some Italian beef, and they load up your sandwich here with a small soaking mountain of thinly sliced beef that's tender, flavorful and delicious. They dip the bun and all so it's definitely a bit messy but delicious. Add some giardinara on the side to add some spice and acidity to change up the bite. Onion rings are fried golden brown and delicious too. Definitely a great neighborhood joint to stop by! read more
