Schmucker's Restaurant is BACK after closing for 3 months due to a fire.

Toledo missed you, Schmuckers! ❤

Tomorrow we open at 6:00 AM. It's been three months, and I've thought about this day every single one of them. We'll be here Monday through Saturday, 6 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. Closed Sundays so we can rest up and do it again. You'll still find the same menu favorites, the same burgers & all the pie you remember. I hope you'll stop by. We're are truly looking forward to it.
