It is a nice and relaxing environment and our server, Kelli, was so kind and helpful. If you haven't yet given them a try please do so.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The coziest burger place in all the land! Great monthly specials, good drink selections.“

“Went through the drive-thru on 11/18 a little after 7pm. The girl working the drive-thru was very nice and smiled and the girl who brought the food out to my car was also very pleasant. Food was hot and fresh and tasted great! I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our Mother's Day brunch reservations were accommodated, although service was somewhat delayed due to high volume. The food quality was exceptional, with the exception of the biscuits and gravy, which were not the best we have experienced. However, all other dishes were phenomenal. The owner's thoughtful gesture of providing complimentary chocolate-dipped strawberries and cookies for my daughter was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this establishment for brunch.“
