Schuler's Restaurant Welcoming Guests Since 1909! |
This summer, instead of taking to the skies for our vacation time, we've decided to stick close to home and discover what's around us. Last weekend we took a drive to Marshall (Michigan). It's not all that far from us, and what a gem of a find we found there in the name of Schuler's restaurant! First and foremost, it has been open and serving patrons since 1909. You know when an establishment has been popular for over an entire century, that it's got to be worth trying.
Fun fact: after trying the restaurant, and raving about how wonderful it was to my in-laws, my Mother-in-Law told me it was where her and her husband of 53 years went on their prom date, many moons ago when they were still in high school.

The entrance area is full of charm! No idea who is hiding under that pillow. ;) |

The many items for sale in the entryway take on a whole new level of interest once you've sampled the declicious items from the menu. |
There are also items like home-baked goods (including cookies, yum!), jam, coffee, and Schuler's memorabilia for sale in the seating area. These items take on a whole new level of interest once you've tasted how delicious the selections are on the menu.
There are a good number of photographs along the many walls inside of the restaurant that showcase a sense of pride in its history. I thought the pictures lent such a wonderful touch to an already cozy environment.

I love the sayings all along the tops of the walls, and the large pictures on display in the main dining area. |
The ambiance everywhere you turn is very welcoming. Of course, what really matters in a restaurant is the service and the food, and in those areas Schuler's did not disappoint.
Our server was most excellent at her job, from the beginning of the meal until it was time to leave. She made us feel most welcome, including our little one who is a little shy with people he doesn't know. And the establishment is very large, so you don't feel rushed to finish your meal. You can sit back and enjoy, like you're supposed to be able to do when you're out and about.

Schuler's famous Barbeque Meatballs. My husband liked these so much he took what was left home and had them the next day (a rarity for him). |

Being the salad lover that I am, I was happy that their salad was so busy, busy meaning packed full of some of my most favorite veggies. |

Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli House-made basil sauce with roasted vegetables and Parmesan |

London Broil Flank marinated in soy, ginger, and apple juice, button mushrooms |

He was loving that milkshake! |

But I think he loved the build-your-own ice cream that came with the children's meal even more. ;) |

The Signature Pecan Ball is vanilla bean ice cream rolled in roasted sweet pecans and served with hot fudge. |
We'll be returning to Schuler's, and I for one can't wait. What a gem of a find in our very own area to come across!! Oh yes it is going to be a fun summer of exploring new places that are close by (within comfortable driving distance) this summer.

I always love the small, out of the way, places more than the big franchise restaurants.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like a great find :)
I also love the small places. They have the best food too often times! Amber N
Deletei agree, hidden little gems are sometimes the best restaurants
DeleteI love the build your own ice cream my kids would go nuts for that lol.This looks like a really nice place and good food.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little place! If we are ever that way we will have to drop by.
ReplyDeleteYou always find great spots indeed. Or you just don't talk about the bad ones haha. Sounds like they sure got it right there and great meals can be had.
ReplyDeleteI'm practically drooling over here. I want what you had, by the way. That looks craaaazy good! I like that you MIL went there years ago!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a quaint, cozy little place to eat and my word - that food looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOMG! The food looks fabulous here. I would love that pecan roll! The build your own sundae looks like a real kid-pleasing treat.
ReplyDeleteThats so sweet that your mother in law went there for her prom date! I was just recently with a friend for dinner and found out her mom went there for prom as well. So cool to hear connections and stories like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I love finding little places like that! Looks like you guys had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI love places with charm like that! The food does look good. I even like how they presented the food.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to check it out.
I am not a dessert eater (normally), but if I were eating there I would have to save room for that pecan ball ice cream. Woohoo.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I'm hungry. What a fun place and the food did look fabulous.

ReplyDeletespooky- who is in the hiding? LOL
it is good that lunch is not too far off...ha....
ReplyDeletesounds wonderful...and what a cool connection as well to her prom date...
My kids would go nuts over the build your own sundae! We have a restaurant here that brings all the kids out a ball of dough, lets them mush it and design whatever they want, then they take it back, bake it and turn it into a personalized pizza. And the best part is, it's free! Just to keep the kiddoes entertained.
ReplyDeleteI love the homey atmosphere! I wish we had a Schuler's in our neck of the woods. I would chow down on the bbq meatballs.
ReplyDeleteI also love salads full of veggies! If I ever go to Michigan, I will have to try this restaurant out. It looks like a place I'd go if it were right here in my town.
ReplyDeletenever saw meatballs served like that before.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful place! Definitely worth checking out. Amber N
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great place to eat. The food looks amazing!

That looks like a terrific place to eat. With a name like that, I half-way expected it to feature German dishes, but all the stuff you show looks yummy. (pssst... you might not wanta call those meatballs "infamous"... that means they have a reputation for being bad...)
ReplyDeleteNice catch & I sure changed it. TY, Susan.
DeleteI have actually heard about this place and those pecan balls! What a cute story you have too. Marshall is about 1hr 45min south of where I am. I am going to have to add it to my Michigan Bucket List.
