Schoop's Hamburgers

Schoop’s Hamburgers – Tinley Park 5 out of 5 stars Stopped by Schoop’s in Tinley Park and left seriously impressed. If you’re craving a classic smash burger done right, this place delivers in spades. The burger was perfectly crisped on the edges, juicy in the middle, and stacked with fresh toppings that didn’t overpower the beef. It’s the kind of burger that hits that nostalgic sweet spot—like a diner-style masterpiece with just the right amount of indulgence. What really surprised me was the house salad. You don’t usually expect much from a side salad at a burger joint, but Schoop’s clearly puts care into theirs. Crisp greens, ripe tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and a tangy dressing that tied it all together—fresh, balanced, and a great complement to the richness of the burger. Service was friendly and fast, the vibe was relaxed, and everything felt clean and well-kept. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a casual meal, Schoop’s in Tinley Park is a solid pick. I’ll definitely be back.

This Place was AMAZING. The waitress/owner was phenomenal. The Irish Nachos/Fries was Freaking Fabulous 💃🏽🔥. The Burgers was fresh but a little dry, other then that, the food was Absolutely Amazing and Service Was Beyond Amazing. Me and My family drove 30 minutes to eat here and it was so worth it. I will definitely be back. Best Burgers & Service Around💯💖

I live half an hour away… called ahead SO I WOULDNT HAVE TO WAIT. Was told it would be ready in 15 min. Got there and they said it wasn’t ready yet so I left. Probably a tactic to see if you actually show up but I won’t be lied to then spend my money. DO NOT LIE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, WILL NEVER BE BACK

This place makes the best smash burgers. The double cheeseburger is massive so even the single cheeseburger is huge. I’m in a meat coma right now. I think I even put Schoops above Culver’s in quality. It’s a nice little diner styled place. Good vibe.

We love this burger joint! Delicious food and wonderful staff. Feels like an old 50’s diner. Try the burgers and shakes. You wont be disappointed!

Unfortunately, we don't get here often enough. Whether you're in the area or have to travel a bit to get here, give it a try. Not just because the food is excellent but also because the owner (who will probably be waiting on your table) is a sweet, hard working, wonderful human being. Great burgers, Irish nachos, fries, onion rings, salads, etc. Please patronize this establishment. You'll enjoy some great food and feel good about helping out a small business.

The food was just ok on my last visit, my onion rings were a lil over cooked. It took 10mins for someone to come to the counter just for me to place an order. Waiting to receive the food was even crazier. I guess they have one cook, one person taking orders, prepping order, sitting people and cashing out. Good food but be prepared to wait and mind you it really wasn't many people patronizing at the time.

While it doesn't have a huge dining room, it is quaintly decorated with throwback paintings of Green River milkshakes too banana split Sundays floating down the Chicago River has all the bridges go up to let it go by. You will be hard-pressed to find a better hamburger than this place (and a close second portillo's down the street). Don't be shy with the menu because everything is well done!

Nice place to sit down and eat at, has a retro diner vibe to it. Very friendly staff, courteous and professional, if anything is wrong with your order they will make it right. Their sandwiches and soups are great, but I thought the garden salad was a bit bland. Needs more types of vegetables like romaine, onions, and mild peppers.

I was heading home after a hard day of car repairs, and needed dinner. I spotted this place on the east side of Harlem south of 159th a way, and dove in. This is a storied restaurant, originally starting in Calumet City, and now expanding to Tinley Park. There is a mural on the north wall with Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, the old Route 66 movie theater and art of the Chicago Skyline. How's THAT for ambiance. Seating is at the counter or with tables or booths, and was comfortable. The Chicago Tribune review on the wall recommended their Bacon Double Cheeseburger, but with 2 x 1/2 lb hamburger patties, that was too much for me, so I went with their cheeseburger and fries, with a Cherry Shake. The burger was HUGE. It overlapped the bun by at least an inch in all directions. I ordered it the Schoops way - with ketchup, mustard, diced onions (fresh) and piccalilli. It was very tasty, very messy, and just pure good hamburger fun. The fries were very large for a small order - it would have fed two, no problem. The Cherry Shake was tasty and cold, just what I needed after working in the sun all day. Service was good - I was greeted when I sat down, provided with a menu, and provided with several glasses of water, since I was pretty dried out. All in all, a good visit - next time, I hope to bring someone else with.

Well despite the long travel from the north side. this location for the first time compared to the other locations both the Tinley Park Mall they close and the one in Calumet City have two different ambiences. I feel like I'm going to either potbelly or corner bakery the way the setup is or maggiano's whereas with the one in the mall it feels like a typical food court setup and then the one in Calumet City feels more like a hole in the wall but nevertheless if the food is consistent with the hamburgers complaining. Well so far the food has been very good and I was really hungry for lunch. Originally I wanted to come here on Labor Day Monday for dinner but they close too early by the time I reach going here. So I decided to come today I was greeted nicely to the server who asked if I was going to be dining in there checking out and I told her I was dining in. She was the only one serving despite the place starting to get busy for lunch. Otherwise the double cheeseburger was delicious the way they cooked it and was satisfying. I've been to so many franchises for hamburgers it's either I don't know how it's been cooked for double cheeseburgers but you know compared to Culver's which is also good as well as that burger joint or even steak and Shake which I went last week they were good hamburgers but they weren't filling and they charge a lot equivalent to a shoots double cheeseburger around $11 I don't want to gain weight but at the same time I feel like I need to get more bang for my buck on what I spend for fast food as well as the quality of how the cooking goes on making a hamburger. 4 out of 5 stars because I guess I expected the root beer float to be served in a glass or glass mug or milk shake glass and it was served in your typical wax cup. Otherwise if they serve the root will float that way I would have been happy or I could have gotten their famous green river soda

This franchise location is the worst! They make their own hours, choose who they want to serve, and the "owner" is just rude. I've dined there before and tried to support our local businesses but they are slow.....she is the only server and the food takes forever, maybe they can't keep up. The website says they close at 9, get there and the door says they close at 830, but my family couldn't get sat at 740....owner says she closes whatever time she wants after 8. I DO NOT recommend this location. The one in Monee is a lot more friendly and family oriented.

I have gotten carry out a few times at the Tinley location. While the burgers are always very good. I am a soup person and love chicken dumpling soup and I would get this when available but the last two times recently it was mostly just broth with very little chicken and maybe one dumpling. Needless to say highly disappointed.

Fries had rocks in them, I almost broke a tooth. Terrible experience, although the place was clean and the workers seemed nice.

Tinley Schoops is an old school diner with classic booths and retro murals on the walls. Always clean, and the service is warm and friendly. One of my favorite eats is a good old fashioned burger and fries, and for me this is the only place to go! The burgers are juicy and generous - look hand patted and taste like real meat! Want everything on it? They've got it! The bun is fresh and tasty - a bit shiny like brioche, and fries are large, smooth cut and delicious. Not the place to go if you like franken foods or complaining! Here you go back to the place and time of the friendly neighborhood diner, where the food is yummy, and people smile and speak to one another. A treasure

Takes me back to a time in the 90's when diners were more popular. Such a cute, clean, fun, & friendly place. We enjoyed our burgers and shakes and it definitely ranks high for deliciousness. Very well made burgers. Not just juicy but full of any toppings you ask for. Chili fries were bland but still ok. Highly recommend for a great burger.

This place sucks. The burger was awful. It was overpriced, and the atmosphere felt like someone just died. I don't know what the hell is wrong with the people who manage this place. It felt sad, and there was no music. I thought Schoops was supposed to be fun? I will not be returning to this location. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

This was my first time ever trying this place. I've heard a lot of good things from other people so I wanted to give it a try. The burgers are actually pretty big, and they do really fill you up. Unfortunately I felt like the actual meat itself had very little flavor. It tasted good with all the condiments, but if you just try the meat alone it didn't taste like anything. I also did not really care for their fries. My fries tasted like they were refried. This place reminds me a lot like Steak 'n Shake, but I think Steak n Shake burgers are a little bit better and definitely a lot cheaper.

The burgers and the service are great and always consistent. Love the owner, she takes time to get to know her customers and we love her!

The food and service are amazing! The owner is FANTASTIC! We come for the delicious burgers, cheese fries, and the Green River shakes. One of our favorite places to have family dinner.

The food is really good. The owner is friendly. It's decorated with 50s Era motiff. We enjoy the casual environment. The prices are reasonable!

Simply the best burger you could possibly buy. I was upset that they are no longer in the mall but this location is unbelievable good

I have been here twice now. The first time was a fine in and waited over an hour when it wasn't busy. This time I opted for takeout I was told 20 mins and again over a half an hour and it's not busy

This place has great service and even better food. It is also very clean and they are very mindful of their customer's needs. I would go back any day! 10/10 thank you so much Schoop's!

Retro dine in area. 1/2 lb burgers. Huge onion rings. Milkshakes rich in taste. What else can I ask for! Delicious food. I'll definitely come back!!

I have been a customer here for quite a few years and had the honor of meeting the wonderful waitress who works here (I will not disclose her name because that is personal). Every time I visit, she is always serving my family and I with so much welcome and warmth. I will never stop showing my support here because I believe that great customer service is something that is hard to come across. The food and ambience is just a plus! Please, if you're a stickler for awesome customer service and tasty food, DON'T think twice about coming here. JUST DO IT .

What a find!! Got the Schoop's Mickey burger with mayo and fried egg on top. Was awesome!! The burger is big and great quality. Also had to try the nacho fries once I read the description.. did not disappoint! I was by myself and sat at the counter. Has a very clean dinner feel to the place. A+

Burger is good but needs seasoning. Onion rings, fries, bacon etc are blah. Maria is an amazing personality. Cheese sauce, ketchup, ranch is very bland.

Food was really good and reasonably priced. Waitress was so nice it made our day. Will definitely come back when visiting Tinley park.

Went yesterday for "National Cheeseburger Day". Don't usually eat burgers out as most I have had are not good! But we gad eaten years ago in Lansing at Schoops so thought we would try it again. My friend and I went and of course ordered cheeseburgers, fries and onion rings. Waitress was fast and very friendly. I think she was the owner. Burgers were best I have had!!!! Just like years ago. Hot and good with lots of condiments and not greasy like some. Hot and crispy rings and fries. When we return I will go back for more. Probably the only place I will ever eat a burger! Try it- you won't be disappointed!

We ordered our food at 5:50 it's 6:45 and we can't get anybody to help us or answer our phone. I'm hoping we didn't lose our money as we prepaid. I will never come here again.

Very clean and nice employees ! Burger and fries were very delicious ! Nice to give my money to a small shop liek this!

Was really looking forward to trying Schoops. My husband and myself were very dissapointed. Waited forever for our food, (we were the only ones in the restaurant during lunch time). Food finally came , fries were cold , burger's edges were so "CRISPY", We were cutting the heck out of our mouths. Neither one of us couldn't take another bite, and that is very unusual for my husband!! Just quietly paided our bill and left never to return again!

I've always loved Schoops, and there aren't many locations in the immediate area. The burgers and chicken tenders are great, and the restaurant is styled in a quaint 50's diner theme. During COVID, they've had pick up so I've been able to continue enjoying the food!

I went to Schoops in Tinley Park today. I ordered a cheeseburger, fries and a drink. The order was ready in 10 minutes as promised. While the burger could have been seasoned better, l enjoyed the food.

We are long time fans of Schoops burgers, but the Tinley location is far and away our favorite. Maria runs her restaurant with professionalism, but also with a warm and welcoming demeanor that is just pure hospitality. The quality of the food here is so consistently good, I've never had a bad meal. The Mickey, grilled chicken salad, fries and cheese sauce is our go to meal and we are sad when we are finished ;) Cheers to this wonderful local establishment, they've worked hard to make it through covid shutdowns and their hard work and passion are evident. I'd encourage anyone who loves good food to stop in or order take out to support this local gem.

Great food..TERRIBLE SERVICE AND MANAGERS. Manager yells and bitches at her servers in front of costumers and makes their business look HORRIBLE!! I feel bad for the servers and the onion rings are soaked in grease. Appetizers come late. Rather do carry out. Check your sh*t before leaving!

The poor wait staff will close this place, just like they did to the Lindy' that was there before Schoops. Ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and Irish Nachos. The cheese machine was broken so the burger sat on the counter getting cold while everyone there tried to fix the cheese machine. There was no heat lamp for the food. Even the cook was banging pans in the kitchen to try and move the employees into action without any success. A 30 minute wait for a burnt dry burger with black colored bacon that was so dry it was painful to eat. Will watch for a new restaurant in this spot in a couple of months.

I've only ever had positive experiences here. The food is always delicious, very good burgers and fries. The burgers are super flavorful and filling. Everything always tastes fresh. Everyone I've encountered has always been very friendly! My order is always correct. I don't have anything bad to say. I love this place!

Still my favorite burger! Give this local burger joint a try you won't be disappointed. In my opinion Shoops is better than 5 Guys. The fries and shakes are very good also.

Food was real good. Burgers were the best, fries were ok. Kids had a couple of hotdogs, they seemed ok. Loved the charred edges on the patties. (and they weren't even that charred for us to complain about like others.) Service was ok, they shouldn't stay seated to eat while they have customers though, just take a bite swallow and come back and check on your tables. Would have been 5 stars, just little pricey but everything seems to cost more here up north.

Not bad. Chili was ok. Nothing great. Burger was very good. Did a double with bacon. Service was good. Onion rings were so so. Seemed over done. I think my boy would love it. Had the mickey, a double bacon cheese, 2 ice teas, a cup of chili and onion rings. $43 with tip. Kinda pricey.

Delicious food. Very clean. Pleasant atmosphere. Service was great. We are here every week and besides burgers, come in for the wonderful soup and fried mushrooms.

Quaint 50s style diner. Great food prepared fresh, and still available for carry out during the COVID 19 crisis. The owner is there all day, every day, so the quality of food and service is always top notch.

The burgers are rather good & have tasty, fresh ingredients. The service by our waitress, Maria, was absolutely superior. I've not had any wait staff that pleasant and attentive towards me in a very long time. The friends that I had with me wholeheartedly agreed. Overall, a wondrous experience. Thank you, Maria!

My co-workers went there today. One spoke highly of it, but the one I sit next to says its awful. I went to Panera so I really have no dog in this fight!

Too pricey and not good enough. Burgers are burnt along the edges and they take forever to make them. Waitress is slow. Onion rings are all grease. Asked for grilled onions and they would not make them for me. Obviously they have a grill and they have onions how difficult could that be??? NEVER EVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN!!!!

I am so glad this location opened. They closed the one in Chicago Heights, so I have to venture out for their burgers. But let me tell you, it's so worth it!!

Drive a little further down Harlem to Five Guys for a real burger. No seasoning. Burnt beyond recognition. Hope they can turn it around

Excellent service, delicious milk shakes, and freshly made hamburgers! The restaurant is clean with that old feel hamburger shop decor. We will be visiting again!

Food was excellent, hot and delicious. Love the crispy edges on the burger! Fries done to perfection. This was a Saturday at around 3:30 - only a few other customers. The only downfall was the workers were just standing around or checking their cell phones while the floor really needed a sweeping/washing. My Husband and I had to move to a different table because under the booth we initially sat at there was dropped food on the ground and the floor was slippery from it! Wipe up the booths and floor better and more often and this place would be the bomb!

I've been going to Schoops for years have always enjoyed the burgers. The old fashion decor is always fun along with getting a green river to drink. Our waitress was very accommodating I believe her name is Maria will definitely go back.

A lot better than most chains. I like simple,and quiet places with the 50's and 60's retro look. A lot of burger for your buck,and they have Green River pop too. I've been to several of their locations through out the years,and they are very consistent. Note- Some of the bad review's I've read sound like temporary staff problems they had at other locations. They were quick to replace the defective staff.That can happen anywhere. I never rate a place by one bad experience. Good help can be hard to find.

Food was greasy and smashed down. Over priced fast food, drive down the road to Portillos for some good food

Called in our order for pickup on a Friday evening. There was all kinds of confusion with two people taking my order and being put on hold during the order taking. Was told 15 minutes, although we waited 25 minutes for our order. Fries were inedible...who has EVER had inedible fries?! My hamburger had a ton of pickle relish on it....I think this was their pickle. The burger was a thick lump with the bun smushed onto it...could not finish eating it. Again, who has EVER not finished eating a burger?! My son's cheese for the fries was tasteless. Will NOT be going back.

Delicious food. Very clean. Super friendly kids working here. Young man and young lady so friendly and polite. It was a pleasure to visit here. Used to visit Palos Hills on 95th street years ago. Glad they still got it! Delicious

Very poor service at this Schoop's today. Went there around 3:00 (because we didn't want to wait 20-30 minutes when we first stopped in at 1:00!!). Not crowded ... pokey taking our order and pokey serving the food. My husband ordered a regular size cheeseburger but got the junior size (which is what my daughter and I ordered). Buns were fresh. Some of the fries were hot, some were not! Waitress did not check back on us. We'll give them one more try, as we're hopeful for improvement.

Service was great and food was great! We had a very nice young man as our server and he was great. Didn't get his name. It's great to have this location close to our house. We can now pass on Schoop's to our kids as my wife grew up with their burgers.
