The service was fast, friendly and accurate. The ambiance was comfortable, albeit a little corny. They do need a new TV so that you could watch Da Bears while you're eating. Will I stop here during my next drive to (or from) Chicago? You bet. 5 stars.

SCHOOP'S FOR THE WIN!…read more First time in Hammond, IN... WHAT do we eat?!? Schoop's is a local Mom & Pop close to our hotel and The Hammond Sports Complex, that had pretty decent yelp reviews, how about we sample the dinner yummies here??? Yelp directions are on point. Designated parking is available in the lot next to the restaurant which is definitely convenient for the customer! Thank you! Didn't have to wait long to sit down. Interestingly, there are quite a few booths with "decorations" on it, very cool for sure (Who doesn't like the Three Stooges and Lucy & Desi!?!), however they limit access to sitting in those areas, which is unfortunate because the booths have the best lighting compared to center of the room tables. Barbara was our server and loved her spunkiness! Note... you have to designate which free toppings (on bottom right of menu) you want on your burger/sandwich, so be prepared for that question! LOL! I was not ready and that elicited some hilarious banter with Barbara ;) Okay, let's eat!!! BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN: I read somewhere that the Breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwich, aka The Pork Schnitzel, was THE JAM in Indiana. Never heard of it in California so I wanted to see what this was all about! I'm in luck because Schoop's has their own version on the menu! When it landed I was like... Whoa! The tenderloin is bigger than the bun!?!! Nothing small about this thing! Apparently, this Indiana Pork Tenderloin/Pork Schnitzel thang can get even bigger but I was pretty happy with Schoop's option. The breading is Crisp and the tenderloin is not thin like a McD's hamburger, but more like a McD's Quarter Pounder. Meat is juicy and flavorful. Filling for sure. Paired with BOMB tater tots... GREAT INTRO to the Indiana Pork Tenderloin Sandwich!! SWISS MUSHROOM BURGER: Schoop's claim to fame is their Burgers and there are many props to that fame decorating the restaurant, even a "Top 10 in America" (CNN Eatocracy) claim! Now we gatz "expectations" lol Mushrooms are Wifey's Go To, so of course we go for the 'shrooms! Grilled onions to perfection, grilled mushrooms to perfection and a smash burger that had edges crisped just right and a flavorful center. Wifey rarely finishes a burger but this one was GONZO! Luckily she offered me a bite! Solid burger!!! TATER TOTS: PERFECT! Crisp on the outside, yet soft inside. Tastefully flavored. No greasy aftertaste. DEELISH! We doin' the big order next time! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom Nom level is high! We would absolutely come back to sample more of the menu! Enjoy! :)

We stopped by on our way from Indiana back to Chicago and I have to agree. The food was delicious! I ordered the chicken tenders with fries and I can say these are some of the best chicken tenders I've ever had. Make sure to order the Culver dipping sauce. The service was super quick. As soon as we ordered it probably took about 5 minutes for our food to be delivered to our table. If I am ever on the east coast again I will definitely be stopping by. This location wasn't full at all and it was easy for us to find a table and order our food. I love the color of the decor. It is all blue and white. There's plenty of parking as well. Overall I loved it!

I also love the fact that their chicken gyro was on the spit not just diced up chicken breast if you're in the area it's definitely worth checking out.

This location, though tucked away near the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond, was surprisingly clean as far as rest stop and fast-food options go. My brother ordered a regular burger, which he inhaled and loved, and I ordered a grilled chicken Go Wrap and fries, which I loved as well. I'm mostly writing this review to call out the awesome cashier who was working, Briona. She was cheerful without seeming insincere, and was genuinely kind. I know working with customers can tend to get stressful, but she just seemed content with being there and was patient when I was deciding what I wanted to order. So basically, I always love Wendy's, but this experience was even better because this particular Wendy's has a great team running the place. Thanks for brightening my evening, Briona!
