Schoop's Hamburgers

Previous review written, same applies here:

Interesting fact about myself (and Schoop's):  Back in my day as a college student at Indiana University, I would come back for Christmas break in dire need of some cash.  I found myself working at Howard & Son's meat market, where I ended up grinding the ground beef that was sent out to all of the Schoop's restaurants in the region.  So yea, I got a first hand look at why the burgers at Schoop's taste so freaking good.  And that, my friends, is a secret I will not reveal.

In my mind, there are 2 types of burgers: the fat, juicy ones served with any number of gourmet toppings all piled on a robust bakery bun, or the thin and crispy burgers that should only be served with traditional toppings (cheese, mustard, ketchup, relish, etc) on a regular hamburger bun.  Schoop's serves the latter, and they serve it up as good as any place I've been.  Try a "Mickey" (single patty, double cheese) along with some cheese fries (they got that delicious and gooey processed cheese sauce) and you should be good to go.  So, for those who care, skip those five guys from the east coast who started up a cookie-cutter burger chain, and find yourself some Schoop's--a local chain of diners that get's their meat from a local butcher shop.  You won't be disappointed.....

actually, if youre looking for a decent hamburger that is cooked right there and not warmed up like at McDonalds, then this is where you should go.  the prices are  reasonable, its really nice inside, and all of the people who work there are really  nice too. this is the  only restaurant  in the area that has Green River .......

My boyfriend recently moved and we were happy to discover that there was a Schoops very close by.  The one in Calumet City has curly fries, while the one in Munster does not, so I didn't think this Schoops did either, but they did!  They were so delicious!!  It was just as good as the one in Calumet City and in a better area.  It's a bit pricey and definitely high in calories, but it's worth it every so often!!
