The service was terrible. The Waitstaff sat around and talked to each other. And the place was a mess. Not very many people eating there and the service was still slow. Won't be going back.

Been enjoying Schoop's Hamburgers since I was a kid. I don't know how they make the crispy edges but they are absolutely amazing. Recommend the Mickey! That one extra slice of cheese is life changing. I moved out of the area, but whenever I have the chance to go there, I do! Oh - and get the Green River!

We eat at Schoop's often, having a few around the area. The grilled burgers are large and delicious. A basket of fries is large enough for 2 people to share. The mozzarella sticks are good too. The kids love the root beer floats and shakes. I saw older reviews that talked about the food being greasy. We have never had... More

Notable for their freshly prepared hamburgers, Shoop's offers quality food, and a pleasant colorful atmosphere, consistent with “The Region” of Northwest Indiana since 1948. One of several restaurants in the chain, I believe that the first was in Hammond. They have a large food service counter with swivel seats as well as tables and booths, so seating is fast and...

It feels like a '50's diner with the theme but it feels like you stepped back a few decades. Excellent hamburgers of course. But for a nice casual relaxed and decadent breakfast, it is hard to beat. Great egg dishes, pancakes and french toast. Affordable, friendly and good food done right.

Shoop's Hamburgers is a chain restaurant that is particular to the region and serves up some memorable cheeseburgers. Not only are they big and juicy, but they are also crispy along the edges, which is probably why they are so damned tasty. I've never had an unpleasant dining experience in the Valpo Shoop's and eat there a few times a... More

This is such a fun place to eat--typical diner-style burger joint. Great big cheeseburgers, loads of fries, flavored sodas and tall milkshakes. Service is usually good--this is a big high school hiring magnet. There are pictures and mementos from bygone decades decorating the walls, and the music is themed accordingly, with a few newer songs mixed in. Prices are average,... More

The atmosphere of this restaurant is wonderful. I was very excited to finally go out to eat there. The decorations and music were quite fun. The food, however, was no good. I ordered a chicken sandwich, and it was saturated with grease. When I picked it up to take a bite the grease dripped into the plastic basket in which... More
