first time here given my family comes every year food was good - we got two orders of firecracker shrimp which was very filling, I recommend splitting! although the firecracker shrimp was good i was really hoping the shrimp itself would be seasoned or flavorful but unfortunately the only flavor was the breading/sause. Server was very nice and patient given we all are picky eaters LOL! read more

We were looking forward to a great steak for dinner! Unfortunately it was anything but... The steak had no flavor and it was very tough, chewy and dry. I ordered the sterling filet mignon medium rare with additional onions... For the few slices of onion I had it was not worth the six dollars. The steak was so disappointing- not cooked the way I requested and for a dinner with one beer totaling $75 I would consider a rip off! We considered going to a different steak restaurant but the reviews were comparable so we thought we would try wise guys. Big mistake. The only thing good about our experience was the warm bread with butter. Our server never asked us how our food was and was not attentive. We were there on a Tuesday night so not a busy crowd. I will never be back and would never recommend this Restaurant. read more

Everything about this place was great...until the end. Great wine and drink selection. Food specials were great and the regular menu looked amazing also. Had the prime rib (fabulous) with a chopped salad (fabulous) while my wife had a seafood pasta which was also good. My daughter had the short ribs and it was the best I have tasted. Lost our waiter after dinner. Left with dirty plates and no desert or after dinner drinks. Too bad because it put a damper on a great experience. Will definitely go back. Too much food stuff to try (and hopefully a desert). read more

We really enjoyed our meal at WiseGuys. The bread was wonderful to start. We then got the Parmesan fries & Brussels sprouts and both were great. For our entree's, the waiter recommended the smash burgers which were unbelievable. The Mac & cheese with smoked Gouda worked surprisingly well, and our waiter was very nice. Next time we are on the island we will have to try the steaks. read more

The meats were seasoned and cooked to perfection! There was no need for steak sauce or any other condiments, everything tasted great. The service was great from the time we walked in and was greeted and seated right away. Our waiter was on point about checking in on us and offering suggestions from the drink, food and dessert menus. It was a dim lit restaurant with a classy feel, I enjoyed the whole experience. read more

My husband and I visited Wise Guys in 2020 and the service and food were good. We probably visited 4 or 5 times within our two weeks in Hilton Head. We recently came back with our two young children and upon entering, the manager or owner (older Caucasian gentleman) was extremely rude and condescending when interacting because we didn't have a reservation. The food is good but I've had better meat at Five Guys! read more

This was our second visit for dinner, and both times had a very good experience. When we arrived at around 7:30 on Friday we were seated immediately and our server was attentive and helpful. I had a cup of she crab soup to start and decided on the wood fired vegetable lasagna. The soup was good, but not the best she crab soup I've ever had. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars But I was thrilled with the veggie lasagna. It was so flavorful & delicious. The veggies were minced and included carrots, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and I believe tomato. The sauce was a traditional bechamel and the lasagna also had a good amount of mozzarella. The lasagna noodles were very fresh. This was a 5 star dish for me. I would order it again. Hubs started with French Onion Soup and was thrilled with it. 5 stars. His ceaser salad was huge and the lettuce was fresh. The only downside was it over dressed as it was dripping with dressing. 3.5 stars. He also had the prime rib and it was cooked as he requested but he said it was a bit on the fatty side. 4 stars. We also had a bottle of wine and they had a nice selection of reds and whites. The restaurant was lively, but not too crowded and not too loud. We will definitely go back. read more

Fun place wirh great food. Portions are large, so the six of us decided on appetizers and She Crab soup. Several of us had mussels...they had just the right amount of spicy. Plenty of sauce and right amount of bread. My husband had the shrimp appetizer, and while I don't remember the name, he declared it the best shrimp he had ever had! High praise from that man. Another had a beef sliders, and I can only assume they were good cause they disappeared in short order. It was very busy, and that interfered with our service. Drinks were slow coming and we were never asked if we would like another. We would have! Prices were reasonable for the quality. We left full and happy. read more

We tried WG on Thursday night. It was busy but we made a reservation. The food was above average. Service was slow and inattentive. I will probably give it another try because I liked the vibe and the steaks. read more

I returned to one of my fave places on the island Dec 12 with a local friend. We always visit this place and another next door. This visit I had the filet mignon salad $26. My friend had the short rib lasagne ($26). My meal was absolutely perfect, everything seasoned/flavored perfectly. My friend's dish looked a little heavy for me but she loved it, also. We chose a nice wine, I Googled it: Banfi Belnero is a premium Super Tuscan IGT wine from Castello Banfi in Montalcino, primarily crafted from Sangiovese blended with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It features a deep ruby color with notes of black cherry, plum, spice, and vanilla, offering a full-bodied, structured palate with balanced tannins. Enjoyed 2 glasses of it ($32)! We split the chocolate Pot de Creme ($10) for dessert, so good. The restaurant was crowded, as we went a dinner time. Were lucky to get a table, in the bar area, near the window. Our server was running by and I didn't mind at all calling out to him, as he didn't check on us as much as the table to next to us, who were regulars. Once they left, he honored us with his presence, actually lingered to explain the quality of the wine we chose. I enjoyed this visit, although I am spoiled on getting much better service in Dallas, but every time I visit the islands, I try to remember to focus on the food, company and atmosphere. read more

Maaaaaannnn, I wish I lived closer. I could easily see this place being "our spot." We chose Wiseguys on a whim while we were vacationing in Hilton Head. The ambiance is gorgeous and romantic. The service was professional, yet friendly. The Food was outstanding. We started with the Asian Calamari/shrimp appetizer. The presentation was super creative, and it was tender and sweet. The standout was the short rib / Gorgonzola stuffed mushrooms... WOW. If I could eat those everyday, I probably would. The entree was a 14 oz NY strip. I opted for the truffle butter on top, (because I'm a truffle-head) and whew, it was the right move. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it was tender and juicy. We got the mashed potatoes and a side of cream spinach too. Everything was impeccable. Halfway through the meal, we got visited by the owner Collin. What an awesome gent! Thanks for a memorable experience, and we WILL be back! read more

Our 11th anniversary was this weekend and decided to spend it in the HH area. Made late reservations to WG restaurant and it was fantastic. My wife loved the setup and ambiance. Especially the long lighted hallway, it had a vintage Mod century feel to it. Service was impeccable, Chris was very helpful. My wife had the seafood wontons and Bang Bang Shrimp and was delicious. I had the fresh and much needed Beet salad and the combination of arugula, pistachios and beets were amazing with the sweet balsamic sauce. Next was the prime 16oz Delmonico steak and it was the 1st time I tried that particular cut and it was juicy (medium) well charred and succulently tender. One of the best steaks I've had in my life. Highly recommend this establishment. Well done. read more

The Good: our server. Very professional and knowledgeable. The Not So Good: food came too quickly to the table and not as ordered. Asked for salads to be chopped, they came unchopped. Then, who wants their steaks 90 seconds after their salads?! It's a a Friday night and we barely had enjoyed our first cocktail what's the rush? There were empty tables all around. The manager did stop by and inquire to help which was appreciated. We didn't want a refund. But this is not a place for those who have higher standards than most. read more

Sea bass was terrific. Service at the bar was great. The bread was the best! Really nice and calm atmosphere. Kinda dark and dimly lit, and I liked it that way. Will definitely go again. read more

We enjoyed the best meal all week in Hilton Head Island at Wise Guys. I had the smash burger, that is made of NY strip, short rib, and ribeye all ground together. It was amazing. One of the best burgers I've eaten in a long time. My wife had the meatloaf, this is also made from ribeye and NY strip. She love it. My daughter had the Margherita Pizza, which looked to be cooked in a wood fired pizza oven. She said it was perfect and reminder her of our time in Italy. I indulged in one of the cheapest pours of 20yr Pappy Van Winkle I've come across in years. Service was fantastic. Overall amazing experience and will certainly return. read more

Was at first eager to try this restaurant based on buzz around the area, but found it just OK. Service was fine, but food was just so-so. My wife's dinner was supposed to have bechamel sauce, but came out more of a red/blush sauce without the character of bechamel. Originally from the northeast, but having dined all throughout the country, I don't believe this restaurant lives up to it's reputation. Frankie Bones is consistent and better, so why go to WiseGuys. My dish had quality meat but lack the flavor and seasoning it should have had. It's off our list to visit given so many quality restaurants in the region. I also grew up Italian and exposed to really good Italian fare and that plays a factor here as well. If you don't know the difference, one may think this restaurant is better than it is. read more

We researched and planned ahead to visit this restaurant. Made a reservation ahead of time and looked forward to visiting all day. Requested patio seating as the weather was perfect for it. Showed up early and checked in and was seated outside. Sat outside for 25 minutes and nobody even checked on us or brought us water. Several different servers peeped out the front door to look at us but never came out. Frustrated that we were not deserving of service, we ended up leaving. I'm super disappointed. We ended up going to Cactus Street Cantina where we knew we would be valued and taken care of. Good riddance!! read more

Amazing!!! Mac n cheese was crazy good, drinks phenomenal and service unmatched!!! Definitely coming back here soon!! Chris was a great server definitely knows what he's doing read more

The food was great and service was fantastic! The wild boar ragout is very rich, and the fig and prosciutto pizza was a highlight!

Walked in on a Sunday evening without a reservation as our 1st choice in the neighborhood was closed. We were able to be seated (albeit at the front door).. The place was busy so we were glad to get the table. Food was good (as usual), but we were a little disappointed in the waiter. One of our party asked if the music could be turned down and Chad responded with a flat "NO". I thought he was kidding but when asked again, he repeated the response.. He could've offered "I'm sorry" or some kind of explanation... but all he offered again was "NO". When he came to take drink orders one of the diners at our table started with his entree order as he had not heard that we were ordering drinks.. again, the response by Chad was flat and not very warm... "I'm taking drink orders". Not one to complain but Chad needs to work on his interaction skills with customers. read more

I had the beet salad and added grilled shrimp. It was delicious but something about the dressing made me choke. Crab soup was delicious. No complaints. Then my desert bourbon bread, pudding. Honestly, it looked like French toast was not impressed, but will try this place again on my next visit to Hilton head and try a steak.(Which I heard they are known for). read more

My DH and I stopped in for an early dinner (Happy Hour) for a lite meal. We live in the SC upstate and have a condo on HHI that we love to visit. WG has always been on our list to visit while here. We realize this is a tourist area and know many regulars and locals eat at the bar. Our order included filet sliders, shrimp bisque and their featured pizza. The bisque was hot, spicy and plenty of salt. The pizza was delicious as were the sliders. We sat at the bar and were served drinks quickly and that's about where the good service ended. We were among the first to arrive and asked for the FedEx golf tournament to be turned on the TV which it was. After about 30 minutes 2 other customers had the channel changed to a 3rd quarter football game while many at the bar (3 couples) were watching golf. Note, the requesters were not even watching the game. We politely protested, finished and left. The food was good, service was OK but we felt slighted for the channel change issue and service. Our severer was very friendly and attentive to everyone at the bar but us. She never approached us after the food came or checked on us. Thank you to the young man who boxed our leftovers. Overall, we loved WiseGuys in the past as one of our favorites but this was not the quality of service we are accustomed to for a restaurant like WG. read more

Sometimes you get in the mood to treat yourself to a really good dining experience. Sure, it might be out of your typical price range for dinner but, hey, you deserve it. And what better way than a place with a great bar with a bourbon menu that will make your eyes pop, a great subdued (relaxing!) atmosphere and some of the best steaks you'll ever eat. Oh, and top notch servers who are knowledgeable and attentive without being annoying. Well, this place should be on your must try list cause it meets all those criteria. The menu has more than steaks including fresh seafood, pasta, etc. But the star is the steak. As a bonus, they feature a dessert of a FLIGHT of crème brûlée. You read that right. A serving of four different flavors, all distinctly different. That raspberry Chambord one is especially delightful. read more

Our last night in town for Spring Break with our teen and we wanted another option besides purely seafood but also with an upscale feel. All 3 of us loved our food! We usually make reservations but this was a last minute find and we were seated right away on a Saturday night. Service very good and the place was beautiful. Packed for basketball games but still the interior vibe felt like an old school New York Steakhouse. Dinner started with warm bread and our server didn't miss a beat. Bourbon choices like we've never seen and also an extensive wine and cocktail list. We started with the Brussel sprouts and Crab cake. Both were phenomenal. Our teen even loved the Brussels! For meals we ordered a smash burger & fries, a pasta bolognase dish and a white vegetarian lasagna. Everything was eaten. We agreed some of the best food we've had here and also at home! Our daughter finished with the bourbon bread pudding and ate almost the entire thing. Kudos to this restaurant and staff for the ambience, as we wanted dressy and they accomplished that with a major sports event happening around the bar. We will definitely be back! read more

Great steak and atmosphere. Start with a cocktail and appetizer, stay for the exceptional service and atmosphere.

I'm a little disappointed in this year's visit to WiseGuys. Last year, everything was amazing. The food, drinks and service. This year was a bit different. Our server seemed like he didn't want to be there and we were in such a good mood and excited - so this put a bit of a damper on the meal. The drinks weren't perfect, the martinis were super neat when we asked for dirty, so we had to ask for extra brine. For the price the porterhouse it was way too grisly and the filet only had one or two bites of filet quality. The portions were also a bit smaller than expected. Giving this 3 stars as it was fine, but not as good as last year. read more

Enjoyed a cozy date night here. On the island for a vacation and love to find spots that locals approve of- this is definitely one of them. Cozy lounge vibe inside, outdoor seating is nice as well. Staff was extremely attentive and helpful, timing when checking in was perfect. Enjoyed cocktails, salads and entrees. Everything was great. Standouts we're the sword fish, fresh bread and and sweet potatoes. Salads were fresh and flavorful and quantity was no object. Both entrees were great and again had generous amounts of food. Will be back for vacations to come. read more
