Schoops Hamburgers

I love schoops, but this one is really inconsistent. It is about ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ that I will be satisfied. The previous time, the food was dead on. However, most recently, I ordered a meal for carryout and got to the restaurant just as it was coming off the line. I watch them bag it while I paid. They forgot my cheese sauce for my fries originally, which I caught luckily. Then after I paid, the girl still forgot my cheese for the fries. I had to remind her again. They did not give me the two kid’s drinks which I forgot about until I got home. Finally, even though I saw them bagging my food, my burger was ice cold and so was my wife’s BLT. The kid’s food and the fries were still pretty hot so I don’t know what they did. I love the food, but for $ 8 a burger, I’d like it warm. The $ 1 burger at McDonalds at least does that.

This place is pretty rough… the food is not very good… the hamburgers weeny burnt and just not that good 2 people for 30 $ should be better food

I was just treated very rudely by Maggie who claims to be the Crown Point manager. Our order was wrong on our last visit. We were told they would credit the mistake toward our next visit. We called about a month later, ordered over $ 100 worth of food, & were told there was no credit for a $ 6 order of Irish Nachos. Maggie was very rude, said she would not credit the $ 6 bc it was against policy. I asked her if she really thought I would make up owing us $ 6 for a $ 100 order. She was very snotty, saying it was against policy. Isn’t a manager’s job to make sure things are done properly? I cancelled the order, & let her know how rude she is. She didn’t seem to really be phased. She must hear that a lot. Needless to say, we will not be ordering again from the CP Schoop’s.

I was immediately put off by how dated this place is. The chairs had torn vinyl and the carpet was in need of vacuuming. This was our first experience of a Schoops burger. We ordered cheeseburgers which are a la carte at 6.99 a piece plus a basket of fries. The fries were not salted at all. The burger was nothing special especially for the price. There are much better and thicker burgers that come with fries at other places. If you like smashed, grilled burgers, save some money and go to Steak n Steak.

One of my favorite burgers in the Midwest

Please don’t bother. 2 adults, 1 2 yr old, no ice cream and bill was over $ 35. Chicken strips are frozen out of a bag. French fries are frozen out of a bag. Kids chicken nuggets are closer to rubber than chicken. That being said I’m OK with all that if you charge accordingly. When you serve food in a plastic basket you can’t charge 9 bucks for a burger.
Then at the end, after saying you take credit cards you say not Discover. There is no sign that says that.
Overall, total disappointment. My wife was even more disappointed as we stopped because she had fond memories of your place from years ago.

So disappointed. Moved away from the region several years ago and was home for a visit. Couldn’t wait to grab a burger, fries and a shake. $ 16 before the tip… Way overpriced, I couldn’t believe how out of control the prices have gotten! The cheeseburger was pretty solid, hence the 2 stars. The fries tasted like they were cooked in very old oil and the ketchup was rancid. The shake was extremely runny and tasted like straight up syrup milk. Even the service was terrible, it was clear i was putting her out in every way. The décor has lost the appeal and looks super dated. Maybe if the jukeboxes actually worked? Next trip to Indiana I’ll skip the Schoop’s stop and eat region food that’s worth it.

I’ve seen it mentioned in other reviews, but the prices at Schoops have really started to get out of hand, particularly in light of the fact that there’s starting to be some real competition out there in the Region. With Five Guys and Culvers springing up everywhere, it is getting increasingly difficult to justify tipping for a similar quality burger that costs 2 to 3 dollars more. Seriously. A double cheese burger is going on nine bucks, and if you’re adding bacon, a handful of fries, and a soda, you’re bouncing around the $ 15 – 16 mark for what’s basically a pretty standard burger meal. Why bother? Jukeboxes and retro décor used to be enough to bring the punters in, but nowadays, it seems more dated than quaint.
That said, the service is generally excellent, and the food comes out hot and fast. But, man… those prices. Hard to justify any more. I’ll pick Five Guys every time, given the option.

I’ve been coming to this particular Schoops for years. It had always been good.
On my last visit I wasn’t as satisfied as before.
They raised all their prices across the board while greatly shrinking the size of fries.
I know this might seem petty, but the large is now what the small used to be and I can’t even wonder what the small is. But the prices were raised. With an average tip a mickey sandwich and a large fry it cost $ 12 without a drink. With a drink added it would be close to $ 16 for just 1 hamburger, 1 fry and a 1 coke.
I’m neither rich or poor, but how could you take a family of 4 out to eat at these prices? While it was still tasty, this is a bit out of my price range for a casual lunch.
Won’t be coming back.
sorry

im so full. best burgers around, just prepare yourself

If you’ve never had a Schoops hamburger… well then, I’m very sorry for you. Crispy, lacy edges; juicy, beefy interior… just a thing of beauty! Goes nicely with a fountain Green River. Yum!

Awesome burgers. Can’t vouch for anything else on their menu but I’m told they have a great breakfast too. Go. Now.

It has been a while since I have had a Schoop’s burger and i was way overdue. I don’t get out to Crown Point much but fortunately we were passing through and we were hungry and I immediately started craving a burger.
Schoops is your typical retro-​style diner. Don’t expect a gourmet meal or many healthy options ether. I had a double bacon cheeseburger which was done perfectly. They hand-​make the burgers here and the edges are thin and crispy and the centers are nice and juicy. I really like the crisp edges. It gives it a very unique texture. For our side, we shared «Irish Nacho» — fries with cheese, bacon, green onions, and ranch dressing. Now these were excellent.
The place was not all that crowded at all. Our server was excellent, very friendly, helpful and attentive. I almost wish i lived closer so I can come back more often.
