Two
facts about Schmucker's. It's a family tradition -
Doug Schmucker is third generation and the staff takes
great pride that everything is home made - the roast
beef, the meatloaf, the mashed potatoes the 24 types of
pies, most everything.
Above their Wimpy
Burger Platter - a double cheeseburger, plenty of
pickles, lettuce tomato and onion and a side of fresh
cut, single-fried fries. To the right, Schmucker's
other special, their hot roast beef sandwich. The roast
beef is shredded, covered with gravy and served with a
side of horseradish.
All manner of pie -
I had the strawberry rhubarb, a la mode. Below
that, a half portion of their fresh strawberry pie.
Schmucker's has
been around since 1948. Not much has changed.
Sitting next to me was a 96 year old regular.
There's a genuine telephone booth in the corner.
Some of the servers have been with Schmucker's for
thirty years.
I read in their
history statement that the occasional pie hits the
occasional face. Probably best not to ask about
that.
