Wise Guys Sammy's — Restaurant in City of Oneonta

When ordering a burger at Wise Guy Sammy's it's all about who you know. Lola, Murphy, the Drunken Cowboy or the Texas Hitman. You always feel like your name dropping at an exclusive club. I will admit, I am new to the WGS burger menu, until how I was only familiar with their vast array of hot and cold sandwiches. But this year, as WGS has expanded to include a bar and an ice cream parlor across the street, so grows their catalogue of ever-changing daily specials. All of their burgers are angus beef and served on a perfectly toasted brioche bun. There are no flat or limp burgers here. These burgers arrive and practically demand you unhinge your jaw to eat them, all the while cozied up to shining examples of french fry perfection. My lunch date was with Lola, an angus beef burger with double smoked bacon, pepperjack cheese, chipotle mayo, and a sunny-side up egg. If breakfast had a baby with a 4th of July cookout, it would be the Lola burger. There are so many flavors swirling around in this burger, none of which overpowering the other but all complimenting each other. Want something more substantial? Try The Great Southern Trendkill (an angus burger heaped with pepperjack cheese, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, coleslaw and chipotle mayo) the Texas Hitman (Cheddar cheese with BBQ pulled pork, onion rings and bourbon sauce on angus beef) or The Metro (a burger topped with hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, pickles and house-made rueben sauce). Two things are certain at Wise Guy Sammy's; 1: If you can't decide between a sandwich and a burger, chances are they have a burger that combines the two, and 2: You will not leave hungry. Sammy's had made me love ingredients and combinations I would have never imagined, and I keep going back to find a new favorite in their special of the day. Also, check out their ice cream parlor Sammy's Scoops across the street! Highly...

Heard rave things so decided to try it out since there was rain off and on tonight and they had some covered outside tables. The two stars are for the homemade chips which were crunchy and delicious. The sandwich itself was nothing special at all and I would not come back to spend $13 on another one. There was maybe 2oz of shredded turkey on mine, one small tomato slice on each half (?!) and a sprinkling of chopped (?) romaine pieces. I did find some small bits of avocado and the slice of bacon was tasty but bread was the overwhelming flavor since the sandwich was mostly just bread. I guess there is a bigger menu than the board outside but the employees didn’t mention one. We tipped on the order screen but why? The sandwiches were brought out to us but it was unclear how we could even get a cup of water and there didn’t seem to be table service. They forgot my pickle so my husband went inside to ask for one. Pickle was great! Anyway, mostly just bummed we used a night out...

A friend recommended Wise Guys so I thought I would give them a try, the sandwich was great, good portions of meat, plenty of flavor, a good sandwich. Wise Guys made a good first impression. I made them a semi regular lunch stop. One evening my wife and I stopped to get subs for dinner, well those subs were terrible, there was hardly any meat on the subs, like they made them on a hurry. Today I thought anyone can have a bad day, so I stopped for lunch, well two bad subs in a row now, again no meat on the sandwich. There was "one" slice of roast beef on the sandwich. I showed my co-workers and they said "bring it back". I didn't bring it back but I took a picture of it. I hope this isn't...
