Schuett’s
510 E Main
Forget the robin.
Schuett's opening every year was really the actual first sign of Spring!
Deep fried foot-long with the works - yum, yum.
The deep-fried foot-long hotdogs were a staple in this town for a long time
c.1970
Loved the
pizza burgers!

05 25 Drive-in restaurant owners have no need for a temperature
gauge. They don’t have to look up from
their sizzling burgers to know when spring has finally arrived. All they have to do is eye the orders piling
up. Judy’s and Schuett’s, Watertown’s only two
seasonal drive-in restaurants, are usually busy in spring and early summer when
warm weather entices people outdoors.
Mother Nature was not cooperative earlier this season, but climbing
temperatures mean more traffic. Both
family restaurants have customers who have been coming back for years, as soon
as the open sign appears in the window.
Good food has brought them back again and again.

06 09 SCHUETT’S UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP
Schuett’s Drive In opened this spring
at 510 E. Main St., in downtown Watertown just as it has for the past 57 years,
but this year was unique. For the first
time, the local eatery is owned and operated by someone not in the Schuett family.
After
former owner Kalvin Schuett passed away last
December, his brother Lonnie Schuett sold the
business to Todd and Terry Schwefel, of Watertown, in
February.
