I'd never been to Schueler's and was worried we weren't dressed well enough after a day on the road. Was I wrong, we had just missed being able to eat in the dining room and were directed to the bar area. People who seemed to be regulars were sitting at the bar using straws as "pea shooters" to send things into each others drinks. Very classy place. less

Over the years, Win Schuler converted a bowling alley and hotel into a quality restaurant which bears his name, where he served complimentary portions of his "Bar-Scheeze" cheddar cheese spread to his patrons. <br> In the late 1960's Schuler's started expanding, opening several other restaurants in Michigan and Indiana. They also started making their Bar-Scheeze to sell in supermarkets as well as the restaurants. The food to be served in the restaurants was prepared in a central commissary in Marshall and distributed to the restaurants to be heated and served. At this point, the food quality seemed to go downhill. <br> By the early 1980's they had begun closing the other restaurants and the commissary, and in 1982 Win Schuler Foods and and the Bar-Scheeze were sold to Vlasic Foods, a division of Campbell Soup. They divested themselves of the last of the additional restaurants in the late 1990's, and now only the original restaurant remains. <br> The quality of the food and the service have returned to about where they were in their prime, and this is a great place to enjoy a good meal in an excellent atmosphere. I sometimes think that it does not measure up to what it was in the past, but then again it is only human nature that we remember something that was good in the past as being better than it actually was. less

This was the first Schuler's in what became a small chain. Now, I think it's back to being the only Schuler's. It's a nice place--roomy, well decorated, a nice place to go for a special occasion. People rave about the food, but as a vegetarian, I found it to be just okay. As is typical in a lot of Midwestern restaurants, vegetables were overcooked and wait staff and cooks seemed not to know what to do with a professed vegetarian. No chicken broth? I quit asking and just ordered a pasta dish. less

As a young man just returned from WW2, Win Schuler remodeled his dads bowling alley into a 200 seat restaurant. This was considered rather foolish at the time but Win made it the best (and best known) place to eat between Detroit and Chicago. Win is gone now and so is everything that made Schuler's unique. It's still a good place to eat but if you want to have a taste of what it was like in the good ol days, try his grandson's place "Schu's". Its in St. Joe MI. less
