“Chris and his staff from Burgerhaus put on our event for the Valparaiso Girl's Basketball team. It was our end of the year banquet. Because of the size of the party, 110 people, they were unable to facilitate us in their space, however, they were able to use LePeep's space for the event. Chris coordinated everything with us as we went through the planning process. He was thoughtful, polite, kind, accommodating, and quick to help solve any issues. The food was DELICIOUS! It was cooked on-site, was hot and so so tasty! We had sliders with all the fixins, mac & cheese, salad with many dressings, and, of course, their delectable French fries! There was PLENTY of food for everyone. They allowed us to bring our own cake for dessert. They accommodated our screen and other technology that we brought in. Chris and his staff helped us to move the tables and chairs whevever we needed to in order to allow everyone to sit where they wanted and still see the presentations. If this wasn't my daughter's senior year, I would be contacting Chris and his phenomenal staff for another banquet!“

“great food, excellent service, friendly staff, tasty desserts“

“Schoop’s Hamburgers leans fully into its 50’s-inspired diner vibe, and it works. The retro feel, bright colors, and constant hum of activity create a fun, bustling atmosphere that makes the place feel lively the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of spot where families, regulars, and burger-hunters all blend together naturally.

The burger itself had all the makings of something great: a generous patty, a good sear, and that classic diner-style build that promises nostalgia on a plate. The texture and freshness were there, and you can tell they know how to craft a solid burger. The only thing missing was the seasoning. With just a bit more flavor or a touch more salt and pepper, this could easily be an outstanding diner burger.

Still, Schoop’s nails the experience. If you’re in the mood for a lively throwback diner with character and charm, it’s worth stopping in — and with just a slight improvement in seasoning, their burgers could truly shine.“

“Been eating here for years and recommending them for years if you want the best burger in Chesteron/Porter area. Some other favorites are the bacon wrapped poppers, steak or chicken flatbread, soups, and the only place I know that still has homemade pub chips. Just had my first ever minor issue with a cook on burgers and the owner addressed it and made it right. I am looking forward to their new bi-weekly specials to try some new items. Gastro 49 customers for life.“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“Perfect, no wait...lunch!“

“Great food, company and fun!“

“If you are thinking of hosting a party of any kind, this is a beautiful venue. The food and staff are amazing. They go out of their way to make everything perfect. Do not hesitate to make this your 1st choice! We will be back!“

“We met friends here for dinner and hubs and I split a small pizza with tomatoes and onions and a small house salad. It was the perfect size for us! He ate four pieces of pizza and I ate two (one piece was a little bigger than the others), The sauce was a nice sweet sauce and there was lots of cheese with tiny diced tomatoes. We got to choose between white and red onions. We chose red, and they weren't too hot, so we were pleased. They had several crust types to choose from.

The salad was quite big; head lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, cucumbers, green peppers, cheese, and croutons, and the ranch dressing was quite tasty.

Our friends split an XL sausage and cheese pizza and it was plenty big for the three of them. It probably could have easily fed four, five, six, depending on how hungry you are.

I believe that pizza isn't as good unless you drink root beer with it. The root beer was soooo good (of course, I haven't had a root beer in ages). This was definitely an excellent recommendation. Next time we're in town, we'll return.

The only issue we had was the volume level was quite loud. The ceilings are high and not finished, so the voices bounce all over the place, only getting louder and louder, and then you have to speak louder in order to be heard by the person sitting next to you, and it's a vicious circle. If they just lowered the ceilings or put in sound dampening panels, it would be much more enjoyable.“

“Great food and great staff🥇“

“Great venue with reasonable pricing. 4 of us went to a comedy show. 2 hours of entertainment for $10 bucks. We laughed so much and left thinking we would definitely return.“

“Skylar was very friendly and helpful in recommendations on the menu. Very attentive with refills on both drinks and rolls. Went above and beyond in making sure our dining experience was the best possible. Will be back again hopefully she'll be our server“

“This was our first time ordering Take and Bake and the pizza was just as delicious as when we visited last month for our first time. our new family favorite pizza 😍“

“Best thing about Northside is metal Mondays!! The best pizza in the region and metal/punk music @ 5pm cheap drinks and killer food. Definitely check this place out.“

“I have order takeout from this restaurant since 2020 about once every three months. I usually purchase New York strip dinners for three. I have never had a bad experience. The food is always cooked perfectly and presented well. Everything tastes fresh and still hot when I arrive home. Everyone in my family likes their steaks cooked well done no pink and they always cook them this way and they are still juicy. I just want to thank the staff for always making my takeout experience a joy.“

“Today my family and i dine in this establishment and the food very delicious. I had the rib platter and the ribs were meaty, tender and the sauce delicious 🤤 Samantha, our waitress, nice and polite, and she served well. I speak blessings upon Round the Clock.“

“Highly recommend! We had Holly for our server and it was amazing! Food was amazing and she was hilarious! 10/10 recommend and you won’t be disappointed with her or the food!“

“Me and my fiancée both had the chicken wraps (Sunday special) . I added bacon and chose ranch and added the delicious fries and they did not disappoint, high quality flavor and ingredients 10 out of ten highly recommend… (my girl got the honey mustard and would recommend) .
