Hubby picked this spot for a Saturday lunch and it was perfect. We sat in their covered seating area (that is important to us because we are pale). I am not a big drinker, but when our waitress read the drink of the day, it sounded delicious and it was! It was mocha raspberry iced coffee with Bailey's and vodka as well as Cordial. It went down smooth.Hubby had the BLT with a side of green beans and I had the grilled salmon filet with a side of pasta salad. Both were amazing!! The BLT had extra B and the Salmon was grilled to perfection. Both sandwiches were falling apart and messy to eat, which I believe is a sign of a good sandwich. Our waitress Fae was sweet and attentive. And she gets extra points for calling me beautiful. We are going to try this place out for dinner while we are here too!!

I've eaten it Schooners several times and it has always been really good. However on this particular occasion the food was simply inedible. The salad I was brought had wilted and Brown lettuce , the medium rare tuna bites were well done and tough And the boom boom shrimp were tiny shrimp with a whole lot of breading and smothered in so much Buffalo sauce that they were soggy. But the biggie was the medium rare Steak bites which looked like steak scraps and actually tasted like an overcooked roast. Our waiter was really nice and apologetic and they did take the steake bites off the tab but only small amounts of the other items were consumed. I don't receive going back anytime soon

Food was great and service was too. I'll be back. See u guys soon

Kudos to the entire staff last night…hostesses, waitstaff, bartenders, kitchen and bus. You all were EXCEPTIONAL!!!

We went to schooners tonight to get our normal shrimp tacos and blackened salmon entrée which is and has always been amazing. It was a busy sat night we got put on the waiting list for a 25-30 minute wait. we were called on our cell within 10 mins and seated. The manager Nikki actually was our server and my salad and drinks were to us within 4 mins of ordering. our food was brought to us within 5 mins later. she had brought us extra napkins and almost done with our meal and boxes and check. Nikki thank you so much for your service tonight and you are a wonderful server as a manager...it was super busy and we were very impressed you stepped in to take care of us. we love schooners!!!

It's always good but prices keeps going up but everything going up very good food but it seams the portion of clam strips got smaller for the money but by far the best I ever had so it's not a big deal.. very good keep up the good work

Severely disappointed. After my fav. hole in the wall place Yanna’s closed in town, I was left googling for the next best thing. This is NOT it. If you want real Greek gyro meat (lamb/beef) skip this place. I got a mix plate of bland chicken and pork (which they claimed to be gyro) that tasted like eating carnitas.Upon sending the entire dish back, uneaten I ordered a pizza. Mediocre, and bland.The real disappointment came at the time of check out. The manager on site, Sam, decided that I was liable for the full charge of my first order though the description of gyro meat did not specify that it was pork. She proceeded to point to other entres which did, but not the particular one I ordered.I would say that it wouldn’t normally be a big deal; however, it is a religious preference. Not to mention, that it would’ve been a greater problem and risk if I had an actual allergy.I’m hoping to reach out to the owners, in hopes to understand as to why they serve pork instead of traditional lamb, and to make them aware that their management and kitchen leave something to be desired.

It's a sports bar type atmosphere but very relaxed more sports restaurant . There is a really nice outdoor patio with a fire pit.We'll start with the service. It was awesome ?. Our server was very attentive and did an outstanding job. Other servers stepped in to help bring food as well and all were very friendly.The drinks were outstanding. We had vodka cherry limeades. Delicious and strong.They have a large menu. A lot of Greek food on the menu. I can vouche for the Greek pizza it was great. All of the pizzas looks great. My wife had a pizza burger. Most delicious. Best burger I can remember. All of the burgers looked good. The crab cakes were ok. Not great but not bad. The boom boom sauce made up for the mediocre crab cakes.Overall this was a great experience. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.
