It was called The Big Time Burger. As believe you me, it was named appropriately!!! High quality beef, mushrooms, onions and cheese...all cooked to perfection.

The appetizers are also good, but you will need to share as the burgers are MASSIVE! The Wife had the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich with Parmesan fries. It was huge and had the best taste and flavor to it. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for the food. The place was pleasantly busy and had a good vibe. This place definitely did not disappoint. The prices were reasonable and service was good as well. Great burgers, unique drink and appetizer selection, and friendly staff,( especially Julian and Eli), make this a must visit if you're anywhere near Portage, Indiana!

I'll just go back to big time burgers, they're better tasting anyways, and have yet to mess up an order. Especially after verifying back to me that what I ordered is correct.

It pains me to leave a low review on such a classic, but after visiting Schoop's for the first time…read morein nearly a decade, I left pretty disappointed -- especially for a place that's long been a Region staple. Everything is a la carte, which I understand for a diner, but the pricing felt pretty shocking. A single burger runs close to $9, and a double cheeseburger is $18 -- without fries or anything on the side. That's double the price I remember, with no noticeable improvement in quality. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, and unfortunately, the chicken just wasn't great -- a little chewy and not the best quality. The highlight of the meal was the Irish nachos, which thankfully taste just as good as I remembered. The ambiance hasn't changed much -- which is expected and even a little nostalgic -- but things like the bathrooms are definitely starting to feel dated. Service was fine, though I never did get a drink refill before deciding to just go ahead and pay. Overall, I hate to see a local classic like Schoop's decline, but based on the prices and food quality, I can understand why folks might think twice about coming back. I know I am.

We both ordered doubles with cheese, bacon, and jalapeños but I had mine stacked with toppings... and that burger was huge! Next time I'm definitely calming down on the toppings and getting a single haha. It was very delicious, but we barely got to touch the tasty curly fries because of how full we were. The curly fries are always super crisp so it was a shame that my stomach could not handle very many after the burger haha. Food always comes out quickly and the staff always made sure we were taken care of. Great place of a nostalgic treat!

They must have changed the onions since my last review because they don't tear my stomach up anymore. They still have distancing in their dining room, every so many tables is blocked off. Which might be good (ha!) because a lady a few booths down is hacking up a lung right now. I'm glad I'm done eating because the sound is like nothing I've heard before.

The service is always consistent no matter the location and your food always comes up fast, almost like they are waiting for your order before you even arrive. The vibe is classic diner style. They are known for their burgers and melts but also learned that they serve breakfast. There are also tons of other menu items to choose from if you are not in the mood for their classics.
