"My mom and I stopped at Schuler's en route to Detroit from Chicago for lunch. If you don't know the history, Win Schuler was a restaurateur known as the consummate host He won many awards in his field and his name was synonymous with hospitality. I'm sorry to say that given this backstory, the experience we had was a bit lackluster. Staff and food were fine, but nothing was terribly outstanding (mom had a salad, I had a french dip sandwich). We started out with their Heritage Cheese Spread a purportedly healthier version of the classic Bar Scheeze once served at Win Schuler's (now trademarked by Vlasic Foods and sold at stores like Meijers); again, tasty enough but nothing to knock your socks off. I noticed that my mother and I appeared to be the two youngest diners in the place at lunch on a Friday, so maybe the others are there due to nostalgia. The restaurant does seem to be trying to diversify by opening the Schuler Apartments upstairs. Hope it's successful given the history and that they strike the balance between old school cool and new innovations."
