Built on Flavor.
For the Community.

Meet Thomas & Norma.

Thomas and Norma didn't set out to build a restaurant empire. They set out to make food that made people happy — and they were very, very good at it. What started as one location in Cherokee in 2012 became a four-location operation rooted in Western North Carolina's mountains, rivers, and tight-knit communities.

Every recipe, every location, and every hire reflects their belief that good food is a form of respect — for the ingredients, for the customers, and for the community that keeps showing up. Thomas runs the kitchen philosophy. Norma runs everything else.

“We never wanted to be a chain. We wanted to be YOUR place. The spot where you take your family, your crew, your first date. Food should feel like home.”

— Thomas, Co-Founder

Flavor Should Never Be Boring.

Out here in the Smokies, the mountains don't do anything halfway. Neither do we. Wize Guyz Grille was built on the idea that the people who live and work and hike and raise families in Western North Carolina deserve food that matches the energy of where they live. Big. Bold. Real.

We don't do frozen. We don't do shortcuts. We greet every burger, every wing, and every pizza like it's the most important meal that person's going to have all week — because for a lot of people, it is. A Saturday treat. A post-game meal. A birthday dinner. We take that seriously.

Four locations, one family, one mission: make you forget you were ever going to eat anywhere else.

More Flavor. Same Family.
