Great diner, and the inspiration behind Jack Antonoff writing "Merry Christmas, Please Don't Call," which is my new holiday anthem. Cheeseburger deluxe is great here, service is solid too. Reasonable prices, and super convenient to stop in here if you're on the way to NY. Christmas decorations are above average, no doubt. read more

I'm m sorry but this place has gotten worse. It's been a while since I was here so decided to give it another try. I first ordered matzah ball soup. Not only was it not hot but it was completely yellow! They did reheat it for me but that did not change the color. Something was off. My friend ordered the sliced steak sandwich medium and it came out well done and very tough. I ordered a chef salad without olives and it came WITH olives! Also the egg was not sliced and some of the meat was rolled up nicely but some was chopped up and served in the center. This I found very odd. The service was ok. It was pretty empty so it should have been better. I was very disappointed. read more

Celebrating 40 years and located off of Route 4 East at the former site of Holly's Diner in Hackensack, my partner, our friends, and I have decided to have dinner tonight at this 24-hour establishment and have been here many times in the past. Greeted upon entering the Coach House by the staff, we got a table right away at one of the corner booths whose interior vibe reminded us of an old-fashioned German beer house with stained glass, plenty of booths, tables, and a bar serving cocktails, beer, and wine. Unfortunately, their once-popular salad bar is gone. Their huge menu has everything one expects in a classic diner, featuring an all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We decided on Chicken Madeira with Asparagus, Turkey BLT Sandwich, Spinach Pie, and Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe. Our meal was served hot, deliciously tasty, with nice portions at a reasonable price. Our server, Danielle, was friendly, discreet, and attentive. With a relaxed and homey atmosphere, we enjoyed a wonderful meal, and we can recommend this place. read more

I used to come here often.... and loved it. But my latest visit was disappointing. The service is always nice... the staff is attentive and sharp. However I ordered a bacon burger no cheese cooked well done. It came to the table with American cheese.. not a fan... and Not well done. Too bad cause that first couple bites- before I noticed- the burger tasted good. Just like I remember. Hey we all have bad days.... so I took chest off and tried. But that pink center killed my appetite. Highlight? The soups ate good...I had minestrone. Very good. They're a staple in the community so a visit is encouraged. Nice ambiance... read more

I've been seeing this diner since I was a tot and my parents would drive down on Route 4. Since I've been treating it like a landmark all these years, I can't believe I waited this long to finally step in. Inside, the restaurant is spacious, with plenty of booths and tables (and parking spaces in their free lot) to accommodate a mealtime rush. We shared a Cobb salad and a California burger (with lettuce, tomato, and avocado), both of which were tasty and quickly prepared. While I wouldn't recommend Coach House for a first date, there is a charm and a characteristic old-school diner feel to this place. Service was extremely attendant (sometimes crossing over into overzealousness, like when refills for our water glasses were offered four times in a ten minute space), but I wondered if it was because were were there on a slow Monday night. I especially appreciated there was no rush for us to finish a meal, since we got a chance to bump elbows with a big group that rents out the big area in front of the fireplace for their regular game night. Given what I can see about this big, homey, casual eatery, I could see why someone would host such a thing here. read more

Food was decent and decor is cool that it has an old school tavern vibe but the service and prices were what brings this place down. Waited a while to have the servers even come over to bring the menus and then after waiting for a while they were kind of no where to be found, someone from our party had to go find a server and ask them to come take our order. Food was just alright, not a ton of flavor and I thought it was a little pricey for what you get. A smallish glass of orange juice that didn't taste like fresh squeezed and was supposed to be their "large" was $5. I got two eggs over avocado toast and that was $15, i understand what the economy is like these days but a basic dish like that which doesn't even include meat can't cost that much to make. Someone in my party got the "lumberjack platter" I think it was called which was supposed to include three different meats, the server stated they didn't have sausage so we thought that person would get more of the other meats or the price would be lower but that wasn't the case. He asked about it when paying his bill and they basically said "it is what it is". My biggest complaint about the pricing which I feel like was kind of scammy was that when I went to pay, my credit card didn't seem to be working the first two times and then the third time that the hostess swiped it, they just kept clicking a bunch of buttons real fast and had me just sign and I said "oh I didn't get a chance to put in what tip I was going to leave" and the hostess said "don't worry about it" and then as I walked out and proceeded to check my receipt there was a 30% tip added onto my bill. I was only going to leave 20% seeing as the service wasn't over the top and deserving more than 20% IMO, but I wasn't given that option. The other two people in my party were given the option to put a tip in when they swiped their card so I know it wasn't just a blanketed thing for everybody or how the machine normally worked. Plenty of other diners in the area so I would rather spend my money elsewhere at a place with better service and lets me choose how much tip I leave. read more

Came here to meet a friend for breakfast while I was in town visiting. Even though I lived in Jersey for years I never visited. It was actually pretty good. I had the Mexican omelet and I was able to customize it how I wanted. The staff was nice and prompt. The food was pretty good and they have large portions. It's not some fancy place but it was family friendly. Would come back next visit! read more

Coach House Diner - 9. Mexican Omelet - Diners Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Was with my husband, nephew and brother-in-law last Saturday on our way home from Philly and was hungry. We tried to get reservations at Capital Grille, Houston's and Cheesecake Factory but they were all booked up until 9:15pm which was a four hour wait and we were starving so we decided to try the Coach Diner. It looked a bit grungy on the inside so I decided to only order potato skins. My nephew was frightened by the looks and decided not to get anything because he didn't want a stomachache later. My husband and brother-in-law ordered prime rib for $38. They said it was okay but they would not eat there again. read more

I love coming to coach house. Their waffles are always made to perfection and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

In 2022, I ordered with my family, I ate the food than went home. I woke up and had FOOD POISONING! Service was okay. Please improve!

Solid food from a solid place. We've been coming here for years and have always experienced pleasant service with pleasant food. The food is fair, nothing to write home about, but it's never been bad, just consistently good. Sunny side up eggs and corned beef hash. Good. Chicken parm. Good. BLT sandwich, tastes like it should. The ambiance is nice for a dinner depending which section you are seated in. The place can get busy but the staff is on top of checking in. A good place in a pinch, even with large parties. read more

Average, forgettable food. I don't mind the diner vibe being stuck in the past, but the food is reminiscent of public school cafeteria line food, and the staff was hit or miss. One lady seemed bothered that I asked for the free cookie for kids (their policy). read more

It was valentines day night, and my guy and i didnt have plans besides stuffing our faces on the couch and enjoying netflix, but we stumbled into good ole coach house for a dinner. i havent been here since about 1st grade after a busy trip to the mall. to say i was pleased and impressed is an understatement. first off, come here for dessert. i highly suggest getting the cheesecake like we did. its silky and smooth, and the perfect amount of vanilla. all desserts (which is an extensive list) is baked and made on premises. they have a huge ass bakery in the basement. im looking forward to coming back to get a cake to go. matzo ball soup - nice chicken broth with 1 large busty ball. would get this again. the shrimp parm over linguini is a must get. but i dont think the shrimp parm needs pasta. i think they should make this an app. the medium to large shrimp are butterflied and perfectly fried. topped with mozz and a decent garlic sauce. loaded potatoe skils are basically 2 potatoes cut in half. loaded with melted cheese and broccoli and bacon. we split bacon on 2 and broccoli on the other 2. i enjoyed this but think they need salt and pepper. excellent service, plenty of parking and clean premised. read more

Coach House Diner - Breakfast bowl - Diners Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

There has to be a secret history of this place, which was apparently founded in 1983. The interior is far too ornate to be a diner. So what did this place used to be? Oh, you want to hear about the food? It's fine. But what about that decor? The fox hunting theme, the colonial paintings and dioramas? I'm thinking steak house, but the fellow at the counter indicated chicken. If anyone has the scoop on the Coach house, please let me know. read more

When we are around the area, we like stopping by Coach House Diner. Between last week and last night, still a good diner to come to when it's not busy around 8pm or 9pm we found ourselves in the area. I ordered the Roman Panini Sandwich, no balsamic vinaigrette. I love sun dried tomatoes, and this meal has it done well with the grilled chicken, fresh spinach, and the mozzarella cheese. The meal came with fries, curly fries was an alternative. If you order this, just be careful when you pick up the Panini, there's a little oil when it drips to the side. Chicken Caesar wrap - to me I think it's better to have the dressing on the side to not have a mushy mess. The chicken was good, crisp lettuce, waffle fries was a little over done but still good to eat. My husband loves the Chicken Salad Triple Decker meal. He has ordered it multiple times, definitely a favorite when we come here. Service is friendly. Sometimes the waiter or waitress takes a little longer, but food takes time and we don't mind the wait. The decorations are inviting and done neatly - the current Christmas decorations are lovely. Parking lot is spacious, prices are reasonable - we will be back soon! P.S. I had more pictures whenever I come here, can't be found... however, just know the food is good. read more

Stopped going after being a big fan for years and years. Lately very expensive and the food coming out very bland is surprising.

I've been coming to this place for almost 3 years now, my dad has been coming for almost 8! Late nights, we come and get our favorite signature dishes, and for as long as i've know; the quality of these dishes have stayed the same! The portions remain generous, the presentation is always wonderful, the calamari is always crispy, the pancakes and waffles are always soft and delicious, and my dad never fails to enjoy his panini's, burgers, and Reuben sandwiches. (i also love the pickles here) I'm more of a sweets person myself, I wish i had more photos to showcase the savory dishes! AND TO CONCLUDE, the strawberry cheesecake here is AMAZING! I've grown to love this place dearly, and remember the staff fondly. Very welcoming, respectful, receptive and kind people. The warm lighting and booths are complimented by the friendly family atmosphere! i love this place so much, I even started bringing my boyfriend here...he fell in love with the chocolate pancakes and chicken fingers like me! I recommend this place to my loved ones, hoping soon I can experiment more with my dishes! read more

Whoo! Ordered a omelet, hash browns & turkey bacon. It was horrible. Although the omelet had cheese in it, it was dry & tasteless. Hash browns? Even more dry & more tasteless than the omelet! The turkey bacon? SMH I feel bad saying this, but it was absolutely disgusting. Eww! I ate a portion of the meal because I was starving & had to put something on my stomach, but I couldn't even finish this meal, that's how horrible it was. My beverage was a vanilla flavored coffee, which was the only decent part of the meal. I will not be returning back to this place in the future. read more

As New Jersey natives, my wife and I love diners, so we had a chance to try a new location. I say location because I've been to Coach House in North Bergen plenty. This was my first time at Hackensack. Great location, huge parking lot. Full menu that you'd expect at a diner. Great cup of coffee and I had a solid monte cristo sandwich and my wife went some huevos rancheros. Both dishes were great and solid customer service. Not my favorite diner experience but certainly not the worst! A great choice if you're in the area no doubt. read more

Coach House Diner - Saturday date with my boo! - Diners Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Maybe it's cause I'm from Chicago and know what good food taste like or maybe New Jersey food just sucks!! Asked for over easy eggs and got over hard because the cook baked the whole plate of food! Any cook that has common sense would know that it's going to cook the egg, changing the whole sandwich that was ordered.. The pizza burger was loaded with too much cheese that I couldn't even enjoy the burger! It made the buns super soggy too quick! The waiter didn't even know how to respond when we told her it wasn't that good, no apologies or nothing. I was expecting more of NJ read more

Came here for the first time over the weekend when I was visiting the area early in the morning. My friends and I were looking for some post-show eats @ 12:30 in the morning and this pretty much was the only place open. When I saw that it had such low ratings here I was a bit skeptical of paying this place a visit. I honestly didn't have a bad experience. It was pretty good! They have a huge parking lot with lots of spots. The diner itself is also huge. Lots of table and booth seating. The hostess was a bit odd. She was singing very loudly the entire time we were there. Hey, as long as she was happy! We were seated in a booth that was very roomy. The table was stocked with the usual ketchup and salt & pepper, but also Tabasco sauce & oil, and vinegar. The menu is huge and has lots of different things to choose from which made it difficult to order! I finally decided on the Cuban sandwich. That's one of my favorite sandwiches and I knew ordering it at a diner that it might not be a fully authentic Cuban. Service was speedy and attentive. Got our food in about 10 minutes. I have to say, the Cuban was pretty good and as close to authentic as you can get! Looked like it was on a whole wheat hero bread, which is fine by me. Roast pork, grilled smoked ham, swiss, dill pickles, and mustard dressing. It was pretty yummy! Came with cole slaw, a pickle, and fries. The fries were hot, fresh, and not greasy in the least. The cole slaw, which I always look forward to at diners even though the freshness can be questionable at times, was actually fresh and tasty! Nice crunchy pickle. I definitely enjoyed my meal. Prices are reasonable. They're actually pretty good. For my meal, it was only $13.50. Can't go wrong with those prices. What my friends got looked great as well. So, for a place that is clean and service is quick and friendly, I'd definitely come back when in the area. read more

Coach House Diner - Pancakes and Eggs with Bacon and Ham with Coffee - Diners Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

*2.5 stars* Really cute and inviting diner on the inside and out, decorated so nicely for Christmas inside. My grilled cheese and curly fries were good (I ordered waffle fries from the menu though and got curly, the server told me they're the same thing. Lol.) My mom got eggs, homefries, and bacon and she said it was ok. It did not look good though. No gluten free options here whatsoever and kitchen staff doesn't know what gluten is (they thought she couldn't have the homefries because they use chili in them.) I don't think they even used chili in them but regardless... advice to management if you're reading this- educate your staff on allergies and supply some gluten free bread! It's so easy to keep a loaf in the freezer if the need arises. read more

Typical American diner style restaurant. Staff were friendly and welcoming. I had the hazelnut cappuccino. This came with a sugar rock stirer. It was slightly sweet due to the sugar rock. I had the sausage omelet. Big enough for 2 or even 3 people. This came with home style potatoes and toast. Omelet was not seasoned but not something pepper and ketchup can't fix. The shrimp Ceasar salad was good. Shrimp was cooked well and paired well with the salad. read more

What happened to this place? I guess there is a good reason why the parking lot is constantly more than half empty. This used to be my "go to" diner in the area, but the past two visits have been awful. The first of two visits: A lady steps up and apologizes profusely that she doesn't typically wait tables, but was asked to do so on this day as they were under staffed. Well - ok! Needless to say, the service was extremely slow, but it was the food that concerned me! I ordered an egg omelet with salmon in it and the salmon was so fishy and "off" tasting - I feared it was tainted. Someone else ordered a Chef Salad and asked for Blue Cheese dressing. The dressing had the consistency of water and tasted sour, like sour milk. This place is lucky they have yet to be sued for food poisoning customers. Just this past Thursday evening, we decided to give this place one more try. After being seated, we waited and waited and waited. A good solid 20 minutes and NO ONE came over to even say hello. We got up to walk out and told the girl who seated us that no one even stepped up to greet us, take a drink order -nothing. She just stood there staring at us, obviously couldn't give a crap that the service is non existent and unacceptable. "I just work here" I guess........ I give this place no longer than one year to shudder it's doors - simply awful. read more
