Schobels Restaurant

We stopped by for a late lunch about this time a year ago. The buffet looked very tempting but we just missed lunch so we were kinda bummed. We ordered burgers instead and they were so good, we made a promise we would stop by again the next time we are in the area to try the buffet.As luck would have it, we missed the buffet again last Sunday. So, we highly recommended burgers for the crew and southern fried chicken with German potatoes for me. What a disappointment! The burgers tasted funny, old, salty and cold. The fried chicken was piping hot but the breading was overcooked. The chicken was tender and moist though. If the breading was not almost burnt, it would have been nice to eat it. The german potatoes were ok. My meal came with a salad(from the buffet) and a dinner roll. The salad was pretty good. I should have just gotten a large salad instead of the chicken. The dinner roll was stale. Oh well. At least we gave them another try. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

It is your typical buffet food, better than the usual stuff though. Worth a stop. About 2 hrs or so outside of Houston. You can order off the menu too. Be aware the BLTs are made with Texas Toast. Staff is really nice. Little gifts to buy, jellies and such but not a whole lot to choose from, but quality stuff.

Delicious German and Southern food with quick and friendly service. Middle of the restaurant features a buffet and salad bar with a giant wedge of Colby as its centerpiece. Buffet looked OK, but we were happy with our decision to order off the menu instead. I got the wiener schnitzel, a magnificently large pork cutlet pounded thin and fried to a golden brown. Go all-out German and choose the German potatoes to go with the included red cabbage. My companion got the liver and onions - also a tremendous portion and full of livery flavor. Both meals included a trip to the salad bar, where I didn't pass up an opportunity to grab a hunk of the Colby. Apparently they have pie by the slice too, but we were too stuffed to think about it. Convenient to I-10 if you're traveling and want a break from the chain restaurants.

We Yelped for help on the way to Galveston!While driving down I-10 we needed lunch and a quick bathroom break. I was able to use the Yelp app to locate Schobel's and order online. Bathroom was clean. Our order was quick, communication was easy through text. The missing star is for the online ordering due to advising no tomato due to allergy and no cheese. They were noted but still put in the food. Over all good stop.

Food is always consistently good. You know you will get a great meal anytime you go. Our server, Michaela, was outstanding.We will return!

Great service and delicious food! The fried chicken was amazing! They have a buffet and everything was very fresh and hot.

This was a really nice diner! The food was good. We had the chicken fried steak dinner. The batter was nice and flakey with white gravy and fresh green beans with tender bacon. It came with a salad bar, which all things on the bar were fresh! From bean salad, carrots, and raisins, potato salad, macaroni salad, boiled chopped eggs, too much to mention, several dressings. It's a nice setup for sure! The service was great! Very accommodating. The food to the table was perfect! The diner is nice and warming. Nice place to stop give it a try!

Traveling home from San Antonio, my hubby and I decided a really good burger sounded good and we almost went to Whataburger for convenience, but decided we'd try Schobels. They have this really great buffet, but I really wanted a burger. After watching all the trips to the buffet by those around us, I wondered if we'd regret our decision. NOPE!! This burger was so thick and juicy and seasoned just right. All the veggies were super fresh. The bun was soft and the added bacon was crispy. At the suggestion of the waitress I got the buttermilk coated fries. I mean, obviously there's no diet plan here so why not bread the fries!?? Yummo. Super crispy. After we started eating I noticed all this buffet people around us were eyeballing our burgers with some possible regret. If you're nearby and want a really good burger, skip the buffet line. It's worth it. Only downfall is how popular they are. I felt like a mouse in a maze finding my way out through the packed tables. Also grabbed a bag of sweet and spicy pecans by the register for a hostess gift. They were well received.

We were traveling through Texas and stopped here for lunch. The server came and asked us what we wanted to drink and disappeared for 20 minutes. She came back and asked us for our order. We gave it to her and she disappeared again. 15 minutes later she brought part of our food and went away again. I reminded her about my cup of soup and our tea. we had nearly finished the food she brought, with nothing to drink. We got out tea after being in the restaurant for 40 minutes.The food was not good. my husband's burger was dry and the bun burned. my chicken soup had a bone in it. I also had fried green tomatoes that were cooked in dirty grease and tasted awful.We could not get our bill. we waited for a while and finally went to the counter. I would not recommend this restaurant.

The food was fantastic and the service was great. The amount of food we were served could have fed an army.. We definitely took home leftovers!
