I have been living in the neighborhood for almost 7 years an I've at Schooner's several times, but last night my wife and a couple of friends went there and had a bad bad experience. We went there on a Wednesday night to show our friends the place given the fact that they recently moved to this area. The first impression that we all had was a very disrespectful waitress with dark hair passing by. The place was full and we tried to ask that waitress with black hair if it was possible for us to find a place and she answered in a very rude way that she was not able to help us and to look in a different area of the place. After that we tried to decide if we want to wait or go, and the same waitress with black hair passed by an pushed one of my friends just because she was on her way. After that we moved to a different area to try avoid being around that disrespectful waitress with black hair, and some nice ladies offer us ti seat and share their table, and guess what? The same waitress with black hair approached to the table (not on her area) and asked in a very bad way if we were causing problems, which I don't know how she got to that conclusion given the fact that the ladies sittingon the table were laughing with us. At that point we decided to go and my wife complained with a different waitress and told her what happened and how disappointed and upset we were. I have worked in customer service for several years and I always avoided to pass any frustration or stress to any of my customers. I hope that the owners and or the managers read this review and talk to their employees, so they can avoid this experience to happen to another customer, because as I mentioned at the beginning I really like the place and I will like to me and my friends keep going to it, but it will not keep happening if we are treated like that again.

I ordered the American Cheddar Burger with fries and added a Caesar salad on the side. It was delicious! I appreciated the thin fries, which I prefer. My brother chose the Big Boy Burger, and it looked fantastic too. The only strange thing was that they charged for soda refills, which might be standard nowadays. I hadn't been here in years, but I plan to return for sure!

The musicians this week were... ok... and the steak was over cooked. The soup that came with it was flavorless too... so I wasn't impressed.5!2 deep fried pickles were delicious though. I had a glass of wine and it was alright. Ok for the price anyways. Overall the vibe is rather blah and the crowd is an average of 50-60 plus. The service was fairly good though.

It's hit and miss here. Sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's bad. It's nice to have a pub in the neighbourhood. Service is also unpredictable. read more It's hit and miss here. Sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's bad. It's nice to have a pub in the neighbourhood. Service is also unpredictable.

The first clue that things are different is the remarkably skilled waitstaff. However, it’s the arrival of the food that truly reveals you’re in for something exceptional. The cuisine isn’t just good; it’s consistently outstanding. During our last visit, we ordered nachos topped with extra guacamole and chicken, and the chef certainly didn’t hold back on the hot peppers or cheese. Because of this and past experiences, I’m eager to try more items from their menu.
