“ O. M. G. We got the tenderloin and the corn fritters and some mushrooms. My my husband got the nuclear wings and he actually said they are eight they are eight out of 10 in heat absolutely amazing. Angie was our waitress and she’s absolutely amazing superior service totally attentive 10/10 I’ll do it again!!!! ”
“ Congratulations on 40 years and for having some of the best wings I've had in a few years. These wings are cooked to perfection then tossed in a fantastic sauce. Great atmosphere with very upbeat and friendly staff. The Italian beef wasn't quite Chicago style it was very tasty though. Enjoy the pictures and remember to smash that like button. ”
“ If you have a hankering for a pork tenderloin fit to feed four, head straight to Schooner’s. A small bar and dining area greets you with a sports theme and large screen TVs for game viewing. Service is fast and the staff is Uber friendly. The onion rings are heavenly. A light batter fried to crispy perfection. I had the fish sandwich, which had a generous portion of flaky white fish that was deep fried. I had the dinner salad as well, which was disappointing as it only had iceberg lettuce and croutons. It would be nice to have some other vegetables in the salad. My brother had the pork tenderloin, which was gargantuan. He said it was tender inside and crispy outside. My mother opted for the cheeseburger, which had a generous patty on toasted bun. Our bill for 4 sandwiches, an order of onion rings, and two coffees was 85 with 20% tip. Keep in mind that the tenderloins are two full meals and my fish sandwich was enough for two meals as well. ”
“ They made a mistake on my pick up order. I called and they owned up immediately and gave me credit for the correct order a few days later. Their Impossible burger was delicious and since I live close, I just found a new favorite place! ”
“ Great catfish dinner with baked potato and coleslaw. Seating is a little too open to the bar area, but it is definitely worth a visit if you love catfish. ”
“ The food was delicious and our waitress was so kind! Our first time there today and it was yummy. The chicken strips were huge and the onion rings were so good. The prices were incredibly fair ”
“ Excellent atmosphere everyone’s so nice. Better get there early. If you don’t wanna wait it sure does pack up quick. We have the whole catfish pound. It was excellent. I believe I had french fries and they were delicious as well. It has been a long time since I had whole catfish Sure glad we stopped by. ”
“ Really good food. I like their breaded tenderloin, but you can feed 4 people. And I also had their appetizer platter. The people that work there are really nice. I'm hoping I get to go back again sometime. ”
