Between the price, the friendly service, and the food, this is worth a visit. Just know what you're getting into: it isn't a fancy place, but you aren't paying for a fancy place, and the servers working the counter were nevertheless more courteous and considerate than those at a lot of fancy places (really). It isn't the best pizza in the world, but you aren't in Naples. It isn't a steal as far as prices go, but you aren't going to be gouged, either. All in all, it's a great place in a tourist area for a casual, middle-class lunch. We ordered pizza (Hawaiian!), burgers, fries, salads, and I think soup, too. They brought the food to us relatively quickly, and I was surprised at how good the pizza and the hamburger were: at least the pizza was better than a dedicated, otherwise-unnmed pizza restaurant in Sevierville, which itself was no slouch. I don't believe we had any of the dessert; we were already pretty well stuffed. I was a little disappointed in the soda fountain drinks (no root beer, no cherry coke) and while contemplating my choices one server came up to me and started discussing her preference: an "Arnold Palmer"; that is, lemonade and tea. "Of course, I prefer mine with a bit of alcohol!" she joked, which was either funny, TMI, or both. Anyway, we enjoyed the place. read more

They made me pay first before receiving my food. I also did not get any sort of ticket or receipt. The lady just wrote down a price and said that was my total. I decided to calculate everything on the menu and somehow an extra 3 dollars was charged. It did not add up to the price she told me. It was until after the fact I realized that another table had gotten a ticket and was billed after they received their food and ate already. I was surprised when I first got there that they had asked me to pay after I was seated and order was taken. Did they think I was stupid or something???? read more

Excellent food! Delicious fries and the burger was tasty. Very juicy meat. I got the Swiss mushroom burger and was very pleased. I will most certainly be returning here when we pass through or visit Cherokee!! read more

Surprisingly good food for a little hole-in-the-wall place tucked in just off the main drag in Cherokee. Wife and I both had a Chief Burger and we split a lunch special (7.00) of 2 huge pepperoni pizza slices and a drink. Plus I had a salad and an order of breaded mushrooms. Everything was great. We were both full, but I wanted to try the jalapeno poppers, so that will have to wait for next time. Counter personnel were very friendly and kept checking back with us to make sure everything was OK. Scope this place out if you're passing through Cherokee. read more

The food was fantastic! Best burger ever! My kids absolutely loved the pizza too! Wonderful staff! They even had to close early due to lack of staff, and they still did an excellent job! I highly recommend this place! My parents also got burgers and bragged very much on how good they were! read more

The food was great as was the service ! The ambience was that of a pizzeria. I definitely recommend Wise Guyz ! The menu isn't overwhelming but just large enough for any appetite. read more

Dinging one star because it took 40 minutes to get my food and one star because the lady who brought food out and bussed tables had a nasty attitude to everyone she encountered and at one point was yelling at an empty table for something (presumably because the people left and had not turned in their order placard?). Food was pretty good when it actually came though. read more

We stopped here and had burgers and kids had pizza by the slice and chicken tenders. Good food and quick! Affordable!

Pizza was greasy cardboard reheated and just ordered cheese pizza. Nachos were cold with barely melted cheese. Wings were decent and grilled chicken sandwich was ok. Definitely not worth the price. read more

I can't tell you if the food is good, we never got to eat. We stood in line for about 10 minutes. My parents were ahead of us in line and got to order, but when it got to us the cashier just walked away because someone in the back told her to stop taking orders because they were backed up. We waited another 15 minutes. The people behind the counter never acknowledged us, never apologized, or gave us any indication of when they would start taking orders again and the line was now backed out the door. The phone rang off the hook and someone behind the counter just said to ignore it. They were also out of chicken and french fries somehow, even though it was only lunchtime. We gave up and walked out. It was chaos and terrible service. read more

We discovered this place on our way through Cherokee and are so glad that we ventured off the beaten path for it! It is in a strip mall and is kind of a "two-in-one" set up with a counter for burgers/hotdogs/fries and another counter for pizza. The restaurant is very clean and the employees were friendly and helpful. The burgers were nothing short of amazing. They were huge and well cooked. They come with ketchup, mustard, mayo and lettuce and tomato which is how I like them. One of the best burgers I have ever eaten. The fries were also good, they were the kind that is battered - but really the burger is the standout here. The portions were generous. We will definitely swing by again when we are on our way through the area and will recommend to others! read more

The best Philly and best pizza I've ever had. The owner, Mr. Bynum, is very friendly and works his tail off to keep service on track. I've eaten there many times and I've never had anything less than excellent. That's very rare. read more

This unassuming restaurant has first-rate NY style pizza at very reasonable prices. It's as good as you'll get anywhere. Hamburgers and deli sandwiches are very good. One in our group had the chicken wings. Also very good. Simple, well-prepared and reasonably priced restaurant well suited to feeding a family. In July 2020, the restaurant is takeout only due to state COVID-19 rules. But the Oconaluftee river is across the street, and it makes a great spot for a picnic. read more

We loved this place . To start wexpulled in at last minute and the owner said they were closing but he would make us a pie and wings and could enjoy them on the porch. Food was amazing and you could really tell he truly cared about his business. Thanks again and will be back for sure. read more

This restaurant was a exciting find . Something for everyone. Burgers , pizza , pasta and chicken. We had been super busy all day and not eat lunch so at 8 pm we were famished. My burger was cooked perfectly, topped with Bleu Cheese, onion ring and A1 sauce . Awesome! So fresh . The service was very friendly. Something for everyone. Definitely a good value. read more

Good food, fast and friendly service! The atmosphere is calming and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the mountains to boot. I definitely recommend!!! read more

My wife and I stopped into Wize Guyz Grille on September 5th 2018, due to the fact that we happened to be in Cherokee, NC and it was listed #1 on yelp. Finding the location was real easy and parking was abundant. Upon our arrival. we were pleasantly surprised. The location looks small from the outside but in fact is quite big inside. Plenty of seating and very clean. As we approached the counter, the menu was rather large and contained just about anything and everything you could possibly want from this style of restaurant. And, they just started serving pasta on the menu too! The lady at the counter was extremely polite and patient with us as we both looked over the menu and our choices. So many things to choose from. We both ordered fountain drinks. Then, my wife ended up ordering the Philly Steak Burger with provolone cheese, American cheese, mayo, green peppers and onions with homemade chips. I ordered a Nathan's Famous Hot Dog with ketchup, mustard and sweet relish, with a side of Jalapeno Poppers and a slice of Cheesecake. (Which, I absolutely knew, I'd never get a bite of.) The lady at the counter finished up the order and we filled our fountain drinks. Upon filling the drinks, we seated ourselves so that we could watch over the entire restaurant and be within view of nearly all the televisions playing various different programs. Our food came out rather quicker than I had expected it to. Everything was so fresh. I have been to many Nathan's Famous Hot Dog locations, even the one on Coney Island, and have never gotten a Nathan's Famous Hot Dog so hot in many entire life! (Way to go Wize Guyz!) The jalapeno poppers were extremely hot in a very fresh way. My meal was correct and very tasty! My wife's (which I also tasted) was just as good! The Philly Steak Burger was great. The homemade chips were phenomenal. And... the cheesecake, I actually got a bite! A very small bite she said, but a bite. All in all, the service here was great. The two girls working the dining room were very nice and helpful. They asked us a few times if we needed anything and cleared the table promptly as soon as we were finished. The service here was great. Quality and freshness was exceptional. Loved the food. Loved the Wize Guyz shirts the crew were wearing. Nice visit. Our only regret... we didn't get any pictures of the food. But, it gives us an excuse to go back. Which we will most definitely do! And we will get pictures the next time (and my wife her own Cheesecake) we are at the Wize Guyz Grille in Cherokee, NC. Thanks for the awesome visit! read more

Upon arriving around 11:40 we were told it was a 25 minute wait to get food. We proceeded to order as we weren't in a hurry. We noticed a large group of probably 15 had arrived just before us and they obviously weren't staffed for that. We ended up getting our food about 40 minutes later but I have to say it was hot and tasted good. This Isn't a high quality restaurant and you get what you pay for. The service was friendly and they were working as fast as they could. read more

We were looking for a reasonably priced restaurant in Cherokee that had good food and boy did we get it. I had the Philly cheese steak with their homemade chips and it was just yummy. Mama had a fish sandwich and my aunt a burger, both were enjoyed. The location is kind of off the main strip and in an area that seems to be on the decline, but inside it was spotless, the people were beyond friendly and the food was good. Not sure what more you could ask for? 5 stars! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Good was great and the wait staff was prompt and courteous. Also, very clean and orderly. I would definitely come back. read more

Saw this place while tubing! Currently only takeout but portions were large and excellent value. Sausage and Pepperoni Calzone for $5.95! Bar fries are perfectly crispy and the burger was huge! Best value in Cherokee! read more

Not a lot of places to eat in Cherokee but for great food, choices and locally owned (which I like to support) we found this place by accident and so glad we did. Everyone kept sending us to places that were way below anyone's standards. It's nothing fancy but they were appreciative of our business. It's a little hole in the wall so ask your Google Map the location. PS: Talk with the owner. He is a super nice guy. Gp read more

Wonderful yummy fantastic great meatazza pizza!!! Love love love the crust! Crunchy wonderfulness!

So glad this place was recommended to us! Absolutely fabulous burgers, fries and wings.

Great burger, sandwich, pizza and beer spot in Cherokee. Visited with my father and son on a fishing trip. Owner/manager at the front desk is the nicest person you could meet. We had burgers, beer and pizza. Certainly one of the best spots in Cherokee! read more

Saw reviews and they were correct. Great place to stop for a quick lunch. Very clean and supper nice staff. read more

See all

1st time going, wanted wings, best wings I've ever had. They were cooked beautifully, the fries were absolutely fantastic, and their pizza looked pretty high quality. I don't want people to expect having the best wings in the world when they get there because I know how much experience, planning, preparation, and work must go into making a perfect wing every time, but all signs upon first inspection point to a great place to trust to make you a decent meal with integrity. Being that I take my wings and fries seriously, I urge anyone going to eat there to give them more than even a couple chances before you realize that this place may be 1 of only a handful of places if even that oin the region that can be trusted with your health and respect. read more

We got a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza. It was really good. I'd love to stop by there and eat again sometime. We asked some people on the way out if their burgers were good and they said they were. read more

Craving a burger, found this place while touring Cherokee. Tasty, angus beef, still good even though pre -pattied. Steakhouse burger was great, with blue cheese crumbles, A-1 sauce, fried onion ring, tomato, lettuce, yum! Battered seasoned fries were ok. Staff friendly, attentive. Great quick, lunch. read more

We were in the mood for some pizza so we ended up here. I would give it 4 stars but the wait for our pizza was a long and they had the wrong toppings on mine. They did let me keep that slice and made me a new correct slice. The BBQ wings are outstanding. You have to pay 25¢ for a cup of water. The pizza was above average for us, not great but better than most places. read more

Wizeguys was surprisingly good! So good we ended up going back we ordered burgers and grilled chicken sandwich and basket of fries! Kids got pizza ,the pizza didn't look all that great but my kids ate it. read more

In town for work and wanted some wings for the opening night of NFL. I'm a wing fanatic so I'm picky about them. WizeGuys has good wings. Naked and crispy too. Good prices great wings and the guy behind the counter is super friendly and nice. Employees like that are unicorns. Thanks WizeGuyz read more

The establishment itself was nicely decorated. The staff although friendly for the most part, made you feel a bit uncomfortable with the staring at you while you were trying to order. The burger had WAY too much mustard about $.69 bottles worth, the patty was paper-thin and burnt. After you sat down the staff, being extremely bored, came round about every 10 minutes wanting to know if everything was ok. Teach your staff not to STARE at customers. It's rude and makes us feel uncomfortable. read more

The building was a little dated, but the food was great! It was a little confusing where to order the pizza, but once it was served it was really great pizza! read more

I feel obligated to set the expectation...you order at the counter, it is served in baskets with plastic utensils, most food is fried, there is an up charge for almost everything (fries, using Visa, getting a water cup, covid price increase). This is not a nice sit down restaurant, it is expensive fast food. If that is what you are looking for, my family says the burger was good, the wings were acceptable, the philly and garlic bread were gross. It smells like a dumpster outside and the A/C barely works inside. They were out of chicken. The bathroom was yucky. But the cashier was very nice. Now you know what you are getting and won't be surprised like we were. read more

Great burgers, great fries & great pizza. The fries were really good but small portion (I personally wouldn't consider them "sharing" size. I had the guacamole burger (only complaint, had lots of those grainy pieces from avocado) Husband had black & blue - pretty good Kids pizza was very NY style and I'd come back for a slice! read more

Place is an absolute dump. Extremely filthy with flies in the restaurant!!!! Couldn't believed my eyes. Not much good choices around here so I guess why this place was packed. Had the wings with loaded fries. Fries were over cooked with bad quality bacon on it. Wing were on I guess. Dining room area was so dirty. Definitely needs to be under better management read more

There is a $2 up charge on every ticket for Covid... instead of appreciating that we have come to their business instead of a chain food restaurant they charge you more money.... they also charge you a service fee for using a CC when they are already charging you for Covid and most prefer cashless payments... Pizza was pretty good. I wish it has been a little thicker but to each their own. read more

Bomb! So glad we found this place. We ordered the wings. It was cooked to perfection and sauced well.

We are local (Maggie) and love eating here when out this way. This place always has consistently good food. Burgers are excellent. Ingredients are fresh and quality picked. Prices are reasonable (think Five Guys type pricing on burgers and fries). We haven't tried the pizza or wings but they always look amazing- definitely will try those on a future visit. Great place for families with lots of children like us - seating both in and outside is plentiful with large tables. Check out the metal bridge over the river (directly across street from parking lot). You can head out for a nice stroll after dinner (left towards town or right towards the National Park) read more
