Not a huge fan of this place; the main reason I keep coming back is that my daughter loves the milkshakes. The outside is charming, the inside is getting dated, the entire staff of teenagers definitely act their age, and the prices are way too high for the quality of food. But as long as my daughter craves it, I guess I'll be coming back.
Review Source:I love this Schoop's. Â It is the only one that includes a small portion of fries with the burger or sandwich without charging extra. Â It is $5.49 for a burger and fry! Â If that doesn't fill you up - you got problems. Â As far as the teenagers go, I think they are great! Â That is one of the reasons I go there. Â I remember my first job as a server and the responsibility it taught me.. Â I am a nurse now. Â They are all pleasant and polite - much better than some crabby old waitress that hates her job. Â You need to remember - they are our future teachers, nurses, accountants, etc. Â The milkshakes are the best and so are the irish nachos. Â Also, best breakfast in town or I should say Porter County.
Review Source:They have one of the best hamburgers around, but their service is something to be desired. I've honestly never had good service here, but I keep going back because I love the food. The burgers are super thin but huge and definitely worth a try. I love that they mix their own cherry Cokes and make old fashioned milk shakes. You've got to try the green river!
Review Source:Um. Schoops is fantastic. They have great breakfast (although, admittedly I didn't order anything with spinach in it...because a spinach omelette doesn't sound cheesy and delicious to me). Very great burgers. And service is decent too. Besides the fact that Schoop's is a family owned business and all franchises are owned by family there are other reasons I like these places. THEY HAVE GOOD FOOD. So, now we now, don't order spinach omelette. My really unhealthy breakfast was delicious though. And I might have mentioned the fantastic burgers before? K, so now go. Get lunch, or breakfast...or dinner...depending on what time it is. It will be filling and tasty. And that's all I want or expect from a diner. Really.
Review Source:Growing up we loved loved Schoops. The last few times I've been here though I have not been impressed. The food quality has gone down hill, the service is far below standard and it seems kind of dingy or dirty, I don't know. Just not very clean. They still have decent burgers but their fries, onion rings and desserts have taken a big hit.
Review Source:My mom always said I should not say anything if I had nothing nice to say so I will keep this brief. My $7 omelet contained CANNED spinach. What restaurant does that??
Not in love and I would not come back.
The outside is super cute- the silver metal building is shaped like an old-fashioned diner car! And I did think the signs for the mens' and womens' restrooms were funny!
Schoops is a great place for an old-fashioned dinery hamburger.
We'd never been to this one before, but it stands up to all of the other ones I've been too. The Portage one is in an old-fashioned dinery building, too, all silver and shiny.
The burgers are huge. You might think you want a double cheeseburger, but start with a single. They're grilled to be a little crispy around the edges, nice and juicy in the middle, overlapping the edges of your bun. Share a basket of fries (we like the curly) with your eating partner. And enjoy a vanilla coke, red cream soda, or green river -- straight from the fountain. I love me some vanilla coke.
If you're like me, you won't have any room left when you're done -- but they do have ice cream and other yummy desserts.
(I find it funny, by the way, that this Schoop's was not previously listed on Yelp -- this one was a campaign stop  for Obama with Evan Bayh back in '08.)
