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

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

It's the only thing in the area that matches Chicago dogs and cheese steaks! We always get the Chicago cheese steak sandwich and the garlic parmesan fries are a perfect pairing with a fountain drink or can/bottle of beer. The staff is friendly and the decor is all about Chicago! Very cool spot and delicious food. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This place has great beef and Italian sausage along with all the other Chicagoland favorites. They sell beer too which is a plus. check 'em out. 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. Plus the guy behind the front counter clipping his nails is absolutely gross. 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! 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! read more

Best Chicago dog in Austin so far. Good service and great sides. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Yum good. Burger and Chicago dog amazeballs. Good ambience. Service mediocre guy barely emoted . However would revisit. 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

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

Good cheesesteaks and Italian beef subs. Will try the Chicago pizza next time. Service was fast too.

Only reason I am giving this place is customer service. I've been here multiple times . It's been over a year since we came here due to moving about 40 miles away. the food is amazing but the girl who was taking our order was very rude First , I asked her about the reward program, she looked at me and seem she didn't want to talk to me , so I ignored her . Second, I got the beef sandwich combo with spicy giardiniera and it was much hotter than I remembered. I went back to see if they had milk, again , she seemed like I was bothering her. She said no we don't . I asked if they changed the pepper because it was much hotter than I remembered. She looked at me and said. " it's the same we always had" maybe it's you I don't think we will be back again read more

Pretty underwhelming chicken parm. No texture. 2 chicken fingers so about 5 bites of chicken not crispy whatsoever. the rest of the sandwich ia really soft bread, sauce and shredded mozz. read more

Trying new places in the area and this I was hoping would be a hole in the wall type of spot. Definitely have a good menu and I'd like to try more items. Had the Chicago cheesesteak, fries and mozzarella sticks and all were pretty average. The cheesesteak is definitely Chicago style so may not be everyone's cup of tea. It's very finely chopped veggies and meat. We ordered to go and it was pretty quick. read more

Update: As expected, owner was very defensive and ignored the feedback. He said he'd 'report' my review because I had the same experience as someone else I was with at the time. Confirmation ownership is not interested in customer satisfaction or a hygienic establishment. Really disappointed in his reply, I honestly don't understand how an owner doesn't see replies like his as petty and a really bad look for anyone reading. I was not disrespectful or rude, and I lived in Chicago earlier in my life (so I know the quality he's attempting to emulate), he has no leg to stand on when attacking customers with anything less than a stellar review. Keeping my rating at 2 stars, as originally posted, regardless of the owner's immature reply. Place used to be better several years ago, it's sad they've let their standards lower. Went recently and was underwhelmed at the food quality and taste. Staff was friendly, but hearing and seeing the cashier clip his nails while we ate was unprofessional and unappetizing. This is something ownership should address, but judging from other Yelp review responses, it seems he's combative and often laughs at honest feedback. I truly hope they take this feedback for what it is, honest and intended to help them get better. They have a lot to improve to earn the business of locals, but only if they want it. read more

This is the Real Deal !!! Whether you crave a Chicago Style Vienna Beef Hot Dog, Maxwell Street Polish Sausage or an Italian Beef Sandwich with Giardiniara dipped to your desired degree of wetness, they don't stop there, they have it all. Philly CheeseSteaks, Pizza Fries, Meatball Sandwiches (every inch of my inner NYer wanted to call it a Hero) to die for. My favorite Sandwich is The Bonnie & Clyde which is a Philly CheeseSteak with a link of Italian Sausage the length of the roll with the Steak mixture on top. Totally out of sight! I recommend this place highly and I heard from the owner that they will soon be open in Cedar Park too; that's much closer to home for me. Give them a try. Chicago transplants, you really need to go out of your way to check out this little taste of home. You won't be sorry you did. read more

So I've been following this these guys since they were in Killeen/Harker Heights area many many years ago. Here's the layout: You walk in the door to the farthest left of the restaurant. Order your food at the counter, get a number, and find a seat. They will bring your order out to you. After you are done, you clean up after yourself (sometimes someone will come around and help with disposing your trash). Then leave out the door farthest to the right of the restaurant. The food (cheesesteaks and Italian beef sandwiches) are consistently good. Italian beefs can be wet or dry with dipping au jus. Fries are ok (usually unseasoned, but crispy). They have a condiment area with ketchup and hot sauces and the drinks are self serve. The staff at the counter are usually nice. They have lunch specials from 11 am - 2 pm Monday through Friday. Lunch specials come with fries and a drink. They have some TVs in the dining area that are usually showing sports or something on espn. read more
