Awesome nachos, burgers and wraps. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Nice small town vibe.

I'd heard about this in USA Today , so I swung by while I was in Missouri. Loved it , the whole place , and the staff was super friendly. The burger is very unique , but tasty as hell !! They allow smoking inside , which worked for me !!! The large Alligator Gar above the back bar is famous , and it's a monster !! Can't wait to go back read more

Love the atmosphere. I'm from California so a place like this is a breath of fresh air. Try the bologna burger

New Hamburg is a quaint little town in Southeast Missouri. In addition to a little school, a general store and church, new Hamburg boasts Schindler's. Schindler's has a nice vibe. It is a typical rural tavern with a juke box, pool tables, locals and great food. The burgers are insanely awesome! 1/2 pound of beef in every burger, grilled to medium on a good old fashioned bar grill. The crinkle cut fries were screaming hot right out of the fryer. The cocktails were served in styrofoam cups which is a bit cheap considering you are charged $4 for the liquor and charged separately for the mixer, but they don't skimp on the booze so you get a flavorful drink to wash down all that great food. A place like Schindler's is great for a Saturday afternoon get together when you want some good food. In addition to burgers, chicken, wraps and appetizers, they served fried bologna in several ways. Fried bologna is a country staple. Don't knock it until you have tried its salty, crispy edged goodness. This is a tavern, so smoking is permitted. There is no separate section for non-smokers, just an FYI. read more

I've eaten at Schindler's many years ago, well known back then for its famous fried bologna burger. It was decent bar food. So when visiting the area, I had this on my bucket list to try again. It was pretty bad and no where near what I remembered. The staff was nice, but service was slow..I mean VERY slow! Like well over an hour to get burger & fries and we were almost like the only ones there? The burgers were WAY overdone, like almost burnt to a crisp done. And the bologna? It used to be a 3/4" thick slice of Krey bologna they fried. Not anymore! Just a single thin slice of ordinary pre-packaged lunch meat bologna and it was way over fried. My brother's was as black as his burnt burger. To top things off, mine came lathered with a ton of mustard & ketchup on it which I did not ask for, dripping all over. No mayo which I did ask for, but they didn't have any. The wife got their 12" philly cheese steak wrap. It came out less than 9" and was absolutely awful. The cheese they used was merely cheap queso cheese out of a jar...not hardly even warm, though the tortilla was partly burnt. And the beef had a strong off taste, like maybe old? It was inedible. The fried pickles were wedges straight from a cheap refrigerated jar, dipped in batter and fried. The batter was done, but pickles inside were still cold. Later heard Schindler's Tavern had been sold and had new owners. Obviously they hadn't figured things out yet. I don't like giving negative reviews, but quite honestly this place can only get better bc they can hardly get worse. Sadly, I won't be back. read more

I give it four stars just for the experience. Double Divey deliciousness. Dark, quiet, homespun friendliness. Traditional American. Try the Bologna Burger if you try nothing else. I'm not sure you'd call it gourmet but it's Schindler's stock in trade. Heart healthy menu, yeah, go somewhere else. A true Yelper's delight. Fried fried is the order of the day (Year). Local watering hole that satisfies the rural American soul. Oh Yeah, Stag on tap unless you want to offend someone. Just kidding but it's the King of beers here. I've never felt more welcome anywhere else. Everyone speaks to you and a stranger has never walked through the door. Love it. read more

Ok, rating this for the burger. There is something to be said for whoever came up with the idea to put fried bologna on a burger, never seen this anywhere else. Grilled onions were done perfect as well. Enjoyed all of the other fried items we tried as well, the green beans, mushrooms, okra (Wow, do I love fried okra, wish this was something that I could find easily in Michigan). Beer selection and liquor selection is what you would expect for an out of the way bar that has been there forever. There will be no Pappy flights and no tapping of a Founder's keg there. But that is not the point, get the burger with the fried bologna and order yourself a Bud drink while you are doing it. Best regards, Tony read more

It's been a while, but Schindler's is a great experience, the Bologna burger is a delicacy in Southeast Missouri and the beer is cold just waiting for you and your friends to show up. read more

We were there for just the wings. Little hole in the wall bar and restuarant. Excellent smoked wings on wed. We went for food not ambiance. Onion rings were awesome as well. Dont pass this place up. It's a gold mine in a shack. read more

No nonsense dive bar with great, cheap food. 12 wings only $4.50 on Wednesdays and the "best burger in Missouri" according to USAToday is only $4.25 complete with bologna and grilled onions. If you live close to here you should have already been here. Have a salad before you get here the menu is light on veggies, unless they are fried. read more
