About Schooners

Schooners is a lively and friendly restaurant with a busy atmosphere. The service is generally quick, with staff seating and serving customers promptly. Notable menu items include handmade onion rings, Rueben sandwiches, chili, and a barbecued, bacon burger. One standout dish is the pork tenderloin, which has been highly praised by customers. The restaurant has a small parking lot and is wheelchair accessible. Recent reviews highlight the excellent onion rings, which are crispy with lots of flavor and don’t need dipping sauce. The famous tenderloin sandwich is crispy and well-breaded, though some find it lacks flavor. Customers also enjoy the mozzarella sticks, which seem homemade, and the corn fritters, despite being covered in powdered sugar. The cocktails are good, and the onions are fantastic. The restaurant has a friendly neighborhood bar vibe, especially when events like a coaches live show broadcast make it busier. The wings are often highlighted as the best in Bloomington, being very meaty, cooked to perfection, and breaded just right. The beer battered fried chicken is another favorite, though some recent reviews warn that it has smelled rotten and tasted nasty, suggesting others might want to avoid that dish. Overall, Schooners remains a clean, welcoming place that offers a variety of tasty dishes, with a lively atmosphere that makes it worth a visit.
