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.

This is always my go to spot when I want to taste Chicago without going to Chicago. I absolutely love their Italian beef and of course Chicago dogs. I normally get my sandwich wet with extra giardiniera! I definitely recommend Wiseguys if you want to eat good and watch a bears game!

Love the food at this restaurant! Home sweet home Chicago! Love the pictures on the walls of Chicago "stuff" - sports teams, iconic players from Chicago baseball and basketball- yeah! Beef sandwiches and Chicago hot dogs are delish!! The fries are also really good - cooked well and not super salty - yummy! Wish this place was closer to home and we'd be there more often. Service was really good today and even got beef, rolls and gardiniera to go - yeah!! Highly recommend! Hi Bill!

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 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.

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.

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!

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! Our suggestion is any of the sandwiches because those can not be beat! The John Gotti and The Godfather are our usuals, and if you want to have leftovers for days, get the large! The atmosphere is always calm and casual even when busy! Definitely recommend!
