    Had never been to this place and thought we would give it a try. Such a nice place for a gathering. We met up with a friend, was able to eat, drink and chat for several hours. I love the fact that you can hear the conversation and have a decent mix of music. We sat on the huge patio, plenty of seating and in the evening lots of shade! The menu is huge, the food is above board and the servers were very attentive, regularly checking on the group. Will definitely be back!!

    I haven't even gotten my main course and this place gets 5 stars. Service has been absolutely fantastic. I have NEVER in my entire life had better potato skins anywhere. The spicy cheese curds and pretzel sticks are killer. I can't wait to get my pulled pork sandwich. I'm sad I lived in cbus for 9+ years and never visited. A+ 100% top notch. Great job!!

    Awesome eats Five Star 🌟 all the way. Keep in mind this is a bar more than a restaurant so Seat yourself the server will be around it may take a moment but the food yummy I wish I had taken pictures but couldn't hold off . I ordered the ribeye Philly Cheese Steak and fries a fried mushrooms appetizer my Grandson got one of the must have been MEGA burger and fries. The food came out fast and HOT 🔥. The Fried Mushrooms are at the top of any I've ever had the food portions were plentiful more than enough. The prices were great very reasonable. Great atmosphere great food and great prices 👍 you can't miss at least trying it out .

    Classic bar food, everything I saw coming from the kitchen looked good. I got a massive half pound bacon cheeseburger and it definitely hit the spot. At least 3 staff members waited on us because we came in right before the evening shift and each one was friendly and accommodating. Also saw them bagging up to-go orders which is good to know for the future!

    Always a good time here, don’t review that much…but such an awesome place, so thought I had to for here. Great beer selection, happy hour is on point. And if you get the chance Laurie is an absolute treat behind the bar, always takes great care of you and knows her stuff! 10 out of 10 would recommend

    Nothing wrong with the place really. Definitely a clique kind of vibe. Not the friendliest staff except with the regulars, but not rude. Chicken wings were good, sauce was meh. Beer was cold. Playlist was billy idol and such, a lot more people in their 60s than I expected.

    Good food but small portion size. They forgot to get us food before kitchen closed, but we were compensated handsomely for that.

  • 5/5 Shelby J. 4 months ago on Google • 90 reviews
    Drinks, food and staff are always great here. Large patio. In the winter they have a portion of the patio enclosed with nice overhead heaters for smokers. Trivia every Wednesday at 7 I believe.

    We go here often. We have gone for just drinks and have also gone there and had food. The food is great and reasonably priced , as are the drinks. The service is great. The bar and wait staff are very attentive and make sure you're taken care of. It's great for game night and all other occasions. Definitely recommend.

    This is a follow up to the review I gave 3 days ago. I received a call from Austin, the NEW manager as of yesterday 6/5/23, first he apologized for the quality of food we received even though he wasn't the Mgr at the time. He offered a credit in the full amount we spent. We will give Coaches another try and I will follow up to this review at that time.

    Last week stopped in post lunch for some food after get my beverage the bartender was way to busy playing games with what seemed like other employees. It was just me and one other guest - I waited for like 10 min and left without eating. Today service only slightly Better but the bartender service was still poor and no personality. Customer service here has fallen off and quality of staff members needs overhauled. No professionalism at all. Hopefully things will improve.

    One of our regular places to eat. We live super close by and I am so glad we found this place. The food is always fantastic, servers are always nice & helpful, and the prices are great.

  • 4/5 John H. 11 months ago on Google
    Stopped in for dinner on a Friday with the wife and teenage son. Despite the growing reverie of those arriving to celebrate the end of the work week (which did add entertainment value I can say) the food came out hot and tastey. My burger was large, juicy and delicious as was my wife's. My son liked his Buffalo sliders but thought the fries were just okay while we really enjoyed the fries. Our 7 layer dip appetizer was really good but there was not nearly enough dip for the mountain of chips we received. Bringing out a gratis side of freshly home made salsa would have added to the experience since the appetizer was quite costly. The atmosphere was nice and very clean and our server (Lauren I believe) was attentive. We will be back, and maybe this time without the kiddo in tow.

    Good food. Privacy fenced patio with adequately spaced tables. Have not eaten inside.

  • 4/5 Judith D. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff and patrons are friendly and although I have only been there about 5 times, the food is really good and since I am new to the area I enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Diane R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good menu and good food. Service is a bit slow but not bad. Great place to watch a game.

  • 1/5 Bryon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Suppose to be a great sports bar. Only had 1 TV with the packers/bears game on and I couldn't see it. Bar tender told me she couldn't change the channel because she didn't know how. Will not visit again

  • 4/5 Kathy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to catch a Steelers game. Recommend the fried green beans and the ribeye Philly sandwich.

  • 4/5 Justin H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, atmosphere a little on the loud side, but tasty food and good service. Subs and pizza, salads and burgers/sandwiches. Appetizers are good, but basic. Very friendly staff, happy to help. Trivia night on Wednesday. Typically decently busy, prices are fair.

  • 5/5 CorasHarvest 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good. I got the Big Daddy Philly or something like that lol and I added jalapeño. The server was really nice too. I actually want to go back here for my birthday. I like it!

  • 5/5 James P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar food, love those fried green beans! Great patio

  • 1/5 Alan Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered a Philly Cheese Steak. Worst sandwich I've ever seen. Meat looked like it was cooked 2 days prior, cheese was just put on top and melted, and 3 slices of jalapeno on top. Steak, cheese, and jalapeno should have been cooked on the grill at one time. I wouldn't even eat it.

    Friendly, good service and food- still slow from the pandemic! Let's support our local bars and restaurants! Business picking up and atmosphere of a sports bar is returning.

  • 5/5 Kelley L. 2 years ago on Google
    High fives all around! Coaches has the BEST food, the BEST staff, and is one of the cleanest bars I've ever been to. hats off to Pat and the entire team. They have a very nice place and do their best to accommodate all guests.

  • 5/5 Deirdre D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kaylee L. 3 years ago on Google
    Noticed staff doing a excellent job following COVID protocol. Extremely clean and very friendly ☺️

  • 5/5 Christine B. 3 years ago on Google
    Had thr half Cubano sandwich. Its huge! I couldn't even finish the half and saved it for the next day's lunch and it was just as good the next day. This place is clean, very accommodating for social distancing and staff is friendly. I wish it was closer to home because I could definitely see this being a regular hangout.

    Last night [7-2-2021], the Upper Arlington High School Class of 1971 held the first of the three events of its 50-Year Class Reunion on the outdoor patio at Coaches Bar and Grill. Our large group of 67-year-olds and 68-year-olds had nearly-exclusive access to the outdoor patio on a thankfully-not-too-hot July evening [though several slightly-older people, who had not been a part of our high school class, had been clustered in one of the corners of that patio]. The serving staff at Coaches had been friendly and efficient in spite of having to work in an extremely-crowded and constantly-changing environment. I ordered "Stadium Nachos"; that order was brought to my table within a few minutes. I should probably mention here that I had not received a fork with my "Stadium Nachos." Thankfully, someone else at my table had been willing to navigate that extremely-crowded environment, find a fork [wrapped in a paper napkin], and bring that fork to our table within one minute. Before I close, I want to talk about the wonderful way in which the steps to the slightly-raised area, three steps above the main floor level at Coaches, are illuminated. Since I am a person with limited vision, I had greatly appreciated the way in which those steps had been illuminated [by using a large square lighting fixture with louvers on the facing edge of the step that would be clearly visible to most except to those who are completely blind]. Those steps had been far more visible than one would have expected given their location and the low level of ambient light in that section of the room.

    Great place to catch the game. Service is friendly and non stop. Atmosphere is welcoming and fun. Food is great too. No better place to watch the Buckeyes.
