I have become a huge fan of this place particularly since I solved the GrubHub problem of repeated cancelled deliveries--if you order through Yelp and live on the south side your order may well be cancelled at the last minute and not delivered. The wonderful customer service driven young lady who answered the phone confirmed she'd received my orders and prepared them and multiple drivers had come but not taken delivery. UberEats is the way to go. I highly recommend the curly fries, grilled cheese sandwich (add bacon--everything tastes better with bacon), patty melts and onion rings. Be careful with the "hotdogs" because they are more akin to a polish sausage than a Vienna Beef hotdog--still delicious but just an FYI. So the very best thing about this place are the milkshakes, especially the Green River Milkshake which harkened me back to my youth and this shake at Goldblatts or the bus turnaround on 63rd & South Park (now King Dr. and its long gone). Great place dine in, take out or delivery! read more

I've been craving a smash burger and I decided to stop on here for lunch. My first time but I've been driving by several times since I moved to Chicago. Ordered the cheese burger with everything and decided last minute on the Irish nachos since I heard people review them. The burger was a nice size and cooked well. It was delicious, I enjoyed it. The Irish nachos, not so much. It was a heap of sodium city omg I didn't really eat them. So the cheese is the ultra processed cheese on them so it was super salty. You got the salt from the fries, the fake cheese and the bacon. Way too much salt for me and that fake cheese was revolting for me :( Note to self, NEVER order that if I return. It's a cool, old school dinner type of spot. I was the youngest person in there so not sure if younger folks go there or not. The service was good. read more

Schoop's Hamburgers in Calumet City and Northwest Indiana has been a must-visit since the 1980s! Their burgers are absolutely fantastic, and I've never had a single complaint about the quality. The only downside is that the prices can add up with everything being a la carte. But honestly, the deliciousness of those burgers makes it all worth it! read more

I use to live their food but last night I was very disappointed. They are very expensive and to receive food that shouldn't cost over $8. The bread was thicker than the burger. I had more condiments than anything. I'll never spend that type of money on a burger again and it's a wrap for this restaurant. read more

The bugers are not cooked fresh anymore I've been going there for years but the burgers are different. Not piping hot, no crispy edges bugers are thicker than before. I can tell the difference. Please go back to freshly cooked I'll pay the extra money . I come all the way in from the city just for a fresh burger. If nothing changes you have lost a valued customer I'm sure others will follow. If I want a precooked frozen burger I'll go to some of the cheaper fast food burger places. Very disappointed read more

I've been coming to Schoop's since the 1970's as a little kid with my Mom. I'm happy to see such a nostalgic place is still in existence. I came with my husband and 12 year old Twins, Their first time. All 3 love it. The fresh grilled burgers on the toasted buns are just as good as they've always been and they have really good shakes. The irish nachos (fries, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, scallions and ranch dressing) are delicious and the servings are huge. The servers and counter staff are very friendly. The restaurant has a vintage feel and it's cozy. Huge parking lot. I definitely recommend. read more

Schoop's is always good and bring back memories of my childhood. The original smash burger full of flavor through every bite. The Torrence location has not changed much from when I was young read more

Over charging with food $14 dollars alone for a cheese burger . Everything sold separately . Lady was rude also . Wouldn't recommend

Took a trip down to the south side to visit the Pope's childhood home and decided to hit Schoop's to introduce my friends to a great burger chain they've never heard of. Just as good as it always was. Good fry, onion rings were perfect. Burgers great. Fine service. Thanks Schoops! read more

The food is always good, everything is made to order, that way it comes out hot and fresh. A mountain of fresh fries that you have to share or take home. ( too good to throw away). Service is always great and it's like sitting in an old fashioned malt shop. Too cute every time my husband and I are out shopping close by or he just wants a great homemade burger like his mom used to make with the slightly crispy edges, he travels all the way to Schoop's because he says no place else makes them the way he loves them. NO PLACE!!! I love the hotdogs and chicken fingers and let's not forget the Green River soda. YUMMO!! We had taken some friends out for lunch and when we suggested Schoop's, you would have thought we said that they won a million dollars. They said that they frequently ate there and love it!! They honor AARP too! Good food, great service and discounts for seniors, why not? read more

A great cheeseburger and hot, crispy fries. I don't know what it is but Schoop's has a 50's vibe to it. The baskets? The Coke glasses? Nice family restaurant. read more

Love their double bacon cheeseburger. Breakfast is pretty good as is their soups. A little pricey but very good.

Food is always consistent. I get the turkey burger with the works and my husband gets the cheeseburger. Service is good also.

Well it was a busy day to meet my friend who lives in Galesburg, IL and unfortunately I could not do a checkin because my android phone is out of order and I had to order another one from my phone insurance. I did not know the place I was visiting had a Schoop's Hamburger resturant? Last I went to one was in the Orland Park Mall last year and the burgers are very good in a unique way. The Burger patties on the edges are crispy and hang out of the bun. They are also known for their Green River soda which is good too. It is literally dark green. It is NOT Mountain Dew color nor does it taste like Mountain Dew. Anyways I wanted to give my review for this place when coming to Calumet City. Unfortunately, I came for someone's relatives celebration on someone's birthday who passed away and wanted to pay respects to their grave in Holy Cross Cemetery. Do give Schoops Hamburgers a try. The fries where a "meh" ok. They needed a little more salt but where ok. Unfortunately, they closed the one location I discovered them at the Orland Park Mall sadly and I would now have to drive here. read more

A great little burger joint. Schoop's has some of the best burgers around, far superior to a typical commodity fast food burger. They also have cheese fries with scallions and bacon called "Irish nachos." Five stars! read more

Real beef , real ingredients. It's worth the money everytime. I plan on being a regular.

The best Turkey burgers I've ever had!! My kids Ave I love this place. Highly recommended.

I know you see two stars and I can verify it. But I want you to know that before I do I really like Schoop's. That crispiness on the burger's edges and the juiciness on the inside is something to behold! Great taste, nice size burger! Another thing I give them is using real beef, no patties, nothing frozen. Real meat. Thanks for being open during the pandemic. On my visit I ordered two cheeseburgers with grilled onions and mustard only and a order of fries. In the pic below, do you see any cheese, onions or mustard? I didn't think so. And you barely tasted any of it, too. The fries are the frozen kind out the bag. Nothing to write on here about. And for all of this came out to $22. Ouch!!! (That's what my pockets yelled) read more

Schoop's Hamburgers - Cheeseburger w/grilled onions and mustard. Do you SEE any cheese, grilled onions or mustard??? - Burgers Near Me - Calumet City, Illinois

I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with a small French fry which cost $13.35. The bun was burnt, and the lettuce were old & wilted. When I returned the food, INSTEAD OF APOLOGIZING FIRST, I was told "well that's just how our lettuce look right now" and then when I said the bun shouldn't be burnt like this, the manager shrugged her shoulders (as if to say oh well). After I said, "there is no way that you should even attempt to justify this" the manger then said "I'm going to give you a refund" as if she was doing me a favor! After attempts to justify, & efforts to make me excited to receive a refund, the manager finally apologized; however, the damage had been done. I love their turkey burgers, but I will never order another grilled chicken sandwich from them again, and I'm sure I won't be back for a Turkey burger until next year. I knew that I should have gone home to cook, instead of eating out. The fact that Schoop's Hamburgers thought this was okay to serve me let's mw know they don't care about certain customers. read more

Excellent hamburgers, my favorite. This is the last place I know of that still has play the jukebox from your table.

Want a FRESHLY made burger? Schoop's is the place! The food is ALWAYS delicious and portions large. I typically come with my daughter who loves their chicken sandwiches- fried or grilled, and as for me, THE BURGERS! Today, I tried the fish sandwich which consisted of 2 pieces of frozen cod on a toasted bun dressed with tomato, lettuce, and onions, along with a few packets of tartar sauce. Sides are separate, so instead of an order of fries or onion rings, which are ALWAYS DELICIOUS by the way, I went with the Irish Nachos - French fries topped with nacho cheese, chives, sour cream, and I added onions for good measure. A fantastic compliment to a decent sandwich, which I may not try again. I'm still going with a 5-star rating due to all he delicious burgers I've had since moving to Chicago 22 years ago. I've got to tell you, you will not find a better burger anywhere, ESPECIALLY for the price. In the area on a cold day, stop in for chili, you'll be pleased! Love this place... read more

I'be loved Schoops for decades so this review is easy. If you want a burger with all the fixings with onion rings, root beer floats, etc to accompany....this is the spot!! Oh yeah, unbuckle your pants! read more

All American burger joint done the right way. Simple and delicious fresh ingredients and made to order

I have frequented this place on 3 different occasions and on 2 of which I found bone in my steak burger. Never, ever again.

My go to pace when I want a quality burger. Most toppings are free & then it's the Irish fries!

Best burgers in the area. Onion rings are also very good.have never had a bad meal from there.

I took my young adult Day Program to Schoop's in Sheriville Ind. today. We received the best customer service ever!! Staff was wonderful & took our orders right away! Food was hot and delicious! read more

After years of driving pass this place I finally stop in and got something to eat. First off bad customer service and the food was horrible. I was pissed I spent 50 on some burgers I could had made fresh at Wendy's shit is overrated for the price. read more

Burgers are huge! No complaints here, everything is great. I usually get a carry out order, so I'm not sure how in-house service is, but the food alone is the best! Best burger in the south suburbs. read more

Haven't been to schoop's in a long time Ordered a hamburger only tomato Was delicious Never been to this location 7 dollars and 47 cents for a single A double costs you less at other locations I understand with covid But was worth it read more

My usual Schoops is by my job, Monee Manhattan Road, I visit at least 3 times a month specifically for the chili. 2 months ago, I decided to visit the location by my house on Torrence Avenue, in Calumet City, and I was soooooo disappointed!! The difference between the locations was like night and day. The chili was terrible!! But, I allowed for the benefit of the doubt and assumed that due to the late hour, maybe I received the bottom of the pot. I chalked it up to a loss and dumped it. Yesterday, May 28th, my husband based on my gushing about the chili, visited the Calumet city location at 2:00 in the afternoon and purchased us both a large. Again, when I came in from work (with my mouth watering) I was soooo disappointed!! I know from the first experience that I can't even fix this up to be at the very least a decent meal. It tastes horrible! Where is the juice? Where is the cheese, onion, love? Why does it look like alpo? Please, please explain to me why the chili is delicious in one location, but terrible in the other. read more

I heard about this place and I used to pass it all the time. I decided to go in on my lunch break. It was alittle pricey but worth it for food is good and it reminds me of the burgers you make when you were little with the buttered bun. It is stays busy you can call in,order out or sit down. Very clean the staff are friendly. Stop by pick up something they have a variety of food. read more

Schoop's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Calumet City, Illinois

Ok, for years now I've occasionally taken my grandkids out for burgers at Schoops. The burgers are delicious, servings are generous and the service is adequate for a burger joint. If our server is attentive, making sure we have plenty of napkins and straws, etc to make dining pleasurable I always tip sufficiently. On my most recent visit to Schoops, on 4/20/19, me and my grands, 6 of us, after enjoying our burgers and shakes, when the bill came there was something new added to our total... the gratuity. Our bill was like $97, and gratuity was $17 and change. Now I was going to leave a generous tip for adequate service, but not nearly $20. This didn't sit right with me , even now, but we enjoyed our time together so I didn't make a fuss. But is this something new restaurants are doing ? or is this unacceptable ? It has me thinking of finding a new burger joint.., I mean they didn't even point it out until I asked if I could add servers tip to payment, cashier said it's already added. I replied ok, I wasn't going to leave that much but it's ok... But I don't like this at all. Please let me know your thoughts dining public... Thanks read more

I'm annoyed because why don't their workers wear gloves. They are very unsanitary and you would think with today's diseases and germs spreading around that the cooks and workers would wear gloves . Very disgusted read more
