Disappointing and Unsafe
Our recent visit to Scheller Playhouse was a huge disappointment, especially since we’d been here years ago when it had a charming, old-building feel. Now, that charm is gone, replaced by a sense of neglect and a feeling of being genuinely unsafe. The exterior looks fine, but inside, the uneven, sagging floors are unsettling. We were nervous walking to the bar to order.
We decided to try their “Taco Tuesday” but were met with a very poor excuse for Mexican food. The taco salad was served in a cold, soggy shell that had a strange, unusual flavor. There was barely any filling inside, and the chips in the nachos were made from what seemed to be the same soggy dough.
We will not be returning for Taco Tuesday.
While we might consider giving a different menu a try—like Friday fish or Saturday ribeye—we can’t recommend this place based on our experience. The building feels like a safety hazard and the food was not good.

If your looking for a rustic place that seems like a frontier bar in the modern era, then look no further then Scheller Playhouse.
The short version:
Average out of the way locals bar located in the middle of the crop fields.
The long Version:
What really caught my eye was the woodwork of the main bar. It was very interesting in the layout design and style. The builder added railroad spikes into the panel which gives it a connection to the train crossing that is next to the footprint of the building.
Something else you don’t see everyday, is the large wood burning stove that sits in the middle of the front half. I was really enthralled by seeing it as it reminded of how a bar could have been laid out.
I ate earlier and only ordered an appetizer that was average in flavor but, was fresh and hot outta the fryer.
The not so great is Scheller Playhouse is a bar in the middle of nowhere Illinois (Southern Region). Like a lot of bars in the more rural areas of the state, the serving selection is low, meaning your beer is gonna come in a can or if your lucky the bartender may offer it to you in a bottle.
Service could have been better then again it could have been worse. I would have given 3 stars on service if the bartender would have done 2 basic things, 1. A coaster on the bar for my drink. 2. Napkins for finger food. That’s basic bartending.
Scheller Playhouse is a “Locals Bar” and you can’t fault an establishment that focuses their style to the local clientele. And speaking of the local clientele, I always get a giggle when I stop at these out of the way places, and I am certain before I even enter the building, somebody inside broadcast that, “hey there’s a stranger getting ready to come in”
Seriously only in places like this do the 2 retired guys at the end of the know what I ordered before the bartender can walk the ticket back to the kitchen.

The food was great! I had their ribeye special & Ruben sammich special for St. Patty’s day. I’ve never had a Ruben that good even when I lived in St. Louis!!! The service was par, given there was only one waitress & one bartender. You can’t be mad at that for the amount of guest they had for St. Patty’s Day. It’s just a hop away from Sesser, so I’ll be back soon! Their pizzas are awesome as well. Wash it all down w/an ice cold stag.

Bartender wanted to take our appetizers away even though we were not finished with them. Kept asking us if we wanted to go boxes for the cold pizza and fries they gave us. The cod sandwich we ordered was one big fried chunk of fish on a piece of bread with no sauce or a vegetable on it. Felt shooed out. Still left a 20% tip. No worries! Will never be coming back here again

I applaud the owners here!! Great people great food. There was a miscommunication by the glo bingo that led people to think they couldn’t get in if you bought tickets on event brite. We let owners know and took care of it for us Amazing people! Places like this that do the right thing deserve the business so again I applaud the owners great food great atmosphere and also took care of our bill since we waited forever! Thanks again guys we will be back for sure !

Loud, raucous crowd (the teachers and staff after a high school graduation lol). The fish fry Friday is superb, good burgers, fries, wings and pizza. We got there near the time they stopped serving food and the fish was piled high so that I would not need seconds.

We went for wing Wednesday and it was really good. They have: parm garlic, Asian zing (more sweet than spicy here), Buffalo, spicy BBQ, BBQ, and their house sauce (green chile, hot). We will be back for sure on Wednesdays. Haven’t tried anything else here, but it is my plan to.

We enjoyed our ALL you can eat seafood buffet. It was so fresh and delicious. The employees were AMAZING. Only 2 but you wouldn’t know it. Not only do they take your order at the door, they serve your drinks and take care of all your needs when your seated. The place was getting crowded and still the 2 took care of everything. The only thing I could have complained about if I were a complainer is the lime situation. I ordered Corona’s and what’s a Corona without a lime. I’ll tell ya it was GREAT….. I only wish I would have got their named. Thanks Ladies

Crab legs are the best I have ever had hands down! Red Lobster does not hold a candle to this place! People are very friendly. We drive a hour and forty five minutes to go here. The best!
