Been coming here for probably the last 20 years. Recently went there for breakfast for the first time, and I will say, it's the last time. The home fries were just awful, and the omelet was rather tasteless. Years ago, I fell in love with their Chicken Bruschetta. While still on the menu, and still my number one dinner to order, it has become hit or miss in the taste department. Lately, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's horrible, which I attribute to different cooks, BUT, there really should be some kind of training, so that it's consistent. Last night was Tuesday 12/22/15, so if the cook is reading this, FIX IT, it was probably one of the worst preparations yet. Mix the tomatoes, onions and mozzarella pieces with the pasta, don't just lump it all on top. The mozz should be in small pieces, not melted into one giant glob. Tasted a bit oily. Also, dh ordered his usual, and had gotten fries with it, which he normally does, but last night, the fries were awesome! They were nice and crunchy, but seriously, the best fry we had ever tasted. The texture was definitely different, but in a good way. Hope it stays that way. The salad bar is consistently good; honestly, I wouldn't change a thing, well except adding some iceberg lettuce. The romaine is in such large pieces, it needs to be cut down a bit. The plates are kind of on the small side, and even though I don't get much, after cutting up the lettuce there is plenty of items that shoot off the plate (peas, lima beans, chick peas). I don't know how the people that pile it on manage to cut it all up. I don't understand why this place isn't more crowded. Most of the servers are good, some could be better, but all in all, nothing negative. The food is decent (much more than less, occasional not that great) and you get a lot for your money. I prefer it over the many chains that are close to it (Applebees, Fridays, Cheesecake Factory, to name a few). read more

Great place for breakfast. I've been going to Coach House for the last 7 years and first few years food was great. Slowly but surely it's going down. I wouldn't go there for dinner anymore, just breakfast. Price they have you can't beat so no complaints about it. Place looks nice after renovation, great that they have nice bar area now. read more

The service at its best is hoping to get a glass of water. Once seated the waiters walk around as if patrons aren't there. When finally the waiters come they're in a rush to take your order, my waitress actually walked away before I finished ordering. I will NEVER eat here again. It's sad, the location is great but the service is a real distraction. read more

Horrible waiter, bad attitude and unwelcoming. We asked multiple people to get our waiter, and he came after 25 minutes. It doesn't seem like we're the only ones that have had bad service here. Not recommended. read more

Comment from George P. of Coach House - I did bring it to the attention of the manager and he was rude and combative.

I love this Diner!! They have the best salad bar ever. They are reasonably priced and their service is excellent. I highly recommend their Early Dinner specials you get so much food for your money. Definitely worth the trip! read more

As always the salad bar is very good. I think the food quality has gone down hill. I ordered a steak sandwich which was overcooked and waiter who was an idiot tried to tell me that I did not know what medium cooked steak was supposed to look like! I gave it back and got a greasy burger. My wife's veggie burger was way over cooked but she ate it. We left the "waiter' 10 percent and was told he was a longtime bus boy which I feel he should perhaps have stayed as! My biggest issue with this place is inconsistent food quality and inconsistent service read more

DANGER. 14 people got together for a farewell lunch for a fellow employee. 5 had to say farewell to their underwear within 20 minutes after leaving this diner. I'm talking mass exodus. This is the truth. ZERO exaggeration. I'm talking throwing out underwear in a gas station bathroom. If I had the time, I would've returned here and left them the plastic Quick Check bag that held my soiled clothing. P.S. Also, we all had completely different entrees. Burgers, chicken, spinach pie, etc. so it was not just one item that did this unless it was something in the drinking glasses. read more

Been going to this diner for years. Love the food and especially love the salad bar. I usually go with the skirt steak sandwich(I think). I forget the name but it comes with the salad bar. It's usually 2 large pieces of skirt steak and fried onions on a long hero. Add some a1 sauce and you might do a backflip. Service is pretty good and there is usually no wait. It's open late so it's perfect when you want some quality food. There's plenty of parking there as well. Yay! I'm a fan. read more

The food was below par - some pasta dish with chicken and gravy (low quality); the only time i saw the waiter was when he took my order and when he gave me my check. sh*eeeeeeet! Bah! read more

It's a high-end diner to go along with the nearby high-end Riverside Square Mall. It's more of a restaurant than a diner. The prices can be a little high compared to other diners, but the food is pretty good. read more

I was there on Monday for lunch, I order the steak salad from the lunch special. The steak was so hard and no taste. I was not able to swallow or chew. I pay 10 dollars. read more

I genuinely feel disappointed I just went there today and I felt like the manager spit in my face with his nasty wordsand disgusting attitude I got there all the time , and this time the food that my mother and my grandmother ordered was terrible. Aging this had never happened to me before so I went to speak to the cashier and hostess. And this man with white hair tall came rudely, when I explained the situation he said he could only take off 6.50 which wasn't even 5% of the bill . And I got so upset as I mentioned to him before I go there all the time even the waiters were mentioning to him this , but he just said and I quote "this is all I can help you and walked away. This place clearly does not appreciate it's cusotmer at all do yourself a favor do not waste your time and let alone your money. Unless you are looking terrible customer service grime a manager ? Ps they "can't find my ray bans " read more

Terrible service coupled with average food does not make for a good dining experience. To make matters worse, they would not take my gluten allergy seriously and kept trying to pass off a flour tortilla for a corn tortilla. My waiter wouldn't take my plate back and insisted that I just try a little and would see that I was wrong. He says the chef also made sure it was corn. Thank goodness I didn't try it because I was eventually able to get the manager over and he confirmed it was a flour tortilla. I don't expect everyone to understand gluten issues, but I do expect to get an honest answer from a waiter or the chef about what they are serving and a more helpful attitude instead of making me feel like my request is such a burden to them. read more

I'd like to say this is your typical divey diner, but it's not quite average. The decor of the place is unique, almost reminds me of an old tavern. The staff all seem to be latino, so I figured it would be good to order Huevos Rancheros for breakfast. I was wrong. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. The chili was clearly canned chili like Hormel or something. The guacamole didn't seem homemade either. I just expected better. read more

Its a dinner... Ive never been here for breakfast which from the other reviews seems like what there good at. But i did happen to get a cuban sandwich that was decent.... although the panini was too crunchy for my liking. French onion soup and fries were good. read more

Came here for late night eats + was overall impressed by the food here. I ordered a rueben which came with fries & the corned beef and sauerkraut were both made well. The fries were crisped perfectly and were not soggy at all. The only thing that made this place lose points for me was the service. It was okay. I asked for mustard for my sandwich and never got it and our waters were only refilled once. I'd still go back to this diner though, the food was really good and the prices were decent too. read more

Warm and Friendly environment. True old warm charm with all the wood overtones. Doesn't feel as much like a diner as it does a home-style restaurant. Nice place and will definitely go back read more

Nice and quiet place to enjoy breakfast. With cozy space amd privacy, and food was good and not too pricy. Recommended

Great diner staple. Delicious omelette and fresh fruit for a nice Sunday brunch. Coffee could be a little fresher (tasted a bit burnt). Not enough to deter us from returning. Service quick and polite. read more

I love the food, but the service is by far the worst or the worst. Last night I placed an order for pickup, upon arriving I wasn't greeted and after waiting around for nearly 15 minutes I ask for my order. I then ask to speak to the manager to tell him about their bad service. And he laughs!!! Incredible!!! I then ask for a refund because I still didn't get my food, and the manager says he can't as my food is being prepared. He then tells me I'm looking for any reason to complain to get a free meal!!! I really feel bad for everyone that works their, they clearly don't have the right manager. One star because the food is awesome but that's it. Unfortunately it was the location at North Bergen NJ read more

This place is hit or miss depending on what you order. The salad bar is the only consistent item in the diner. Service could be good or bad. The food is good or bad. The price is higher than other diners but you are paying for the salad bar. I would say grilled stuff is better than other types of dishes. Pasta is terrible. BBQ ribs, however, is great. So is the chicken fingers but the chicken parm is terrible. Stay with simple food here. read more

Very extensive menu. The reuben comes with the dressing on the side, which I'm not used to; however, it results in a less soggy sandwich. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. read more

I'm not about fan of diners but this place has everything. My fiancé and I were very pleased. The food was of excellent quality, nothing fancy but was good tasting and without a long wait. I don't think anything we had came from a can (which when I think of diner food I tend to associate canned something). I would eat here again. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Coach House is probably older than me. The food is still just as good, especially late at night. One of the very few diners open late.

I'm reluctantly posting this review in order to warn others. My wife's parents live in the area so I've driven past this diner many times over the years and I've always been curious about it. From the outside it looks as legit as a diner could be.... like it's been there for generations and that they should be able to dish out your typical diner fare with ease. We finally went here on a Monday for a quick dinner around 8 or 9. We were seated promptly. The place was probably less than 1/4 full and it's a large diner so there were a handful of employees by the front hanging out since there weren't many customers. It took 15-20 minutes to get someone to take our order. The waitress claimed that there was some confusion as to who was covering our table and that sucked, but I can understand. Fine. That wasn't that big of a deal. We ordered a cheeseburger, a French dip sandwich and chicken fingers. I don't have high standards going into a diner, but I kid you not, the only part of any of those aforementioned dishes that was good was the pickle I had with the burger. The burger was flavorless and seemed like it went from the freezer to the grill. French dip sandwich was dry and flavorless. The dip was just oil with a hint of salt. Coleslaw was gross. The chicken fingers were tough and my daughter refused to eat them. Even the fries were bland and cooked poorly if that's even possible. I will never forget. I will never go back. read more

Went to the Coach House expecting the same quality food like the one in North Bergen. My girlfriend ordered chicken fingers which were baked. I ordered fish and chips which tasted like they were frozen and then baked! Gross! When I had complained about fish, manager never apologized, but did adjust the check by charging me half. Of all of the good places I could have chosen, I was really disappointed in selecting this diner for dinner. read more

I enjoy this restaurant for a quick bite. The fare is very delicious, and the ambience is very cozy. Bring the family!

Food was okay. Waiters don't seem to pay much attention--you need to make pointed eye contact. The cleanliness of the food area was okay, though the bathrooms were a little sketch. I was vaguely dissatisfied with what I got for the price, but it wasn't terrible. I'd give it 2.5 stars but I'll round up to account for feeling tired at the time. (Edit: Nah. On further reflection, it just honestly wasn't good.) read more

Server and owner were nice, but if I'm being completely honest, the food was terrible. The chicken was tough and well overcooked. Not to mention the prices are higher than other diners in the area. Definitely wished I checked the reviews before I went. read more

I have been going to this diner for many years, and it is always good. The service is good snd the food is very tasty. I have never had a bad meal. I recommend this diner over all the ones around since you will have a delicious meal! read more

The waiter is superb and the food is fresh and deliiiiiicious! Great place to have brunch on the weekend and chill...

I ordered chicken Parmesan and was perfectly satisfied. The service was efficient and friendly. Be aware: they have sharing charge (we did not share). A good place for a breakfast or late night dinner. read more

This is a classic New Jersey diner. They got everything you can imagine eating. Again, I'll agree with most of the other reviewers, it's a diner, soooo keep your expectations to a minimum and enjoy your late night dinner... read more

I have been coming here for a lonng time now. The waiters are always friendly and have put up with our foolish drunken nights coming in after partying. Now we don't party like we used to but we still come here and the food is good, the salad bar is good, and the people are good. Good local place but the chicken tenders are not seasoned. Dinner dishes are either super bland or too salty. I like the salads, the salad bar and all the breakfast food. read more

I've been going to the coach house since I was a kid and in all my years I've never been more upset about the way someone at the place of business has spoken to me and handled a situation. My mother was going to place an order through the phone today and decided to cancel it because of a miscommunication with the prices of items on the menu. The person on the phone didn't hear that my mother canceled the order or just didn't listen and placed the order anyway. When they called to tell us the driver was outside, we said that we canceled the order. They decided to give us a little bit of a run around by putting multiple people on the phone. They finally had a gentleman tell us that we were wrong and the prices we were looking at were incorrect and with out saying the actual words, calling us liars. He said I could come and check every menu that they have and the price would be what he said it was. I wasn't upset about that until he said that he would return the money to my account but that he would block my mothers phone number so that she couldn't order anymore. So we were punished because someone at this place of business couldn't listen correctly or follow directions correctly? I just wanted to let someone know about me and my mothers experience and how disappointed I am that this happened. read more

Don't know what happened to this place, food used to be great here went today everything was horrible from the potatoes right down to the so-called California burger. The California burger was nothing but a plain burger, no cheese, no avocado; all it had was mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato really?... The potatoes with our breakfast sandwiches were mushy and disgusting and We also ordered an egg white omelette and pita breakfast sandwich and it was actually a drippy soggy mess. I will never come back here again! so sad this is a landmark for diners... only thing keeping this place open is it's on route four I will never go back here again!!! Oh and the bathroom was filthy!!! read more

Best diner ever,friendly,caring staff,always give u what u want ,even extra with out charge

Standard Jersey diner, nothing special. Well, no...I can say that they managed to provide the saddest looking EVER tomatoes on my roast beef club sandwich. So there ya go, they win the sad tomato award. read more

Not impressed. I walked into this dinner on Saturday at 9am, the place was not very crowded and there was no one waiting for tables. There were 4 employees at the front. One was obviously a waiter assigned to walk people in, the other three were standing to the side discussing something in the menu. All of them ignored me for a good three minutes. Finally I stared down the waiter and he pointed to a booth. Then I saw him walking the couple behind me to a booth and gave them menus. I figured he was only assigned to one side of the dinner and the side he pointed me to was not his side... I waited an additional 5 minutes to get a menu from a different waiter. Another 5 minutes for yet another waiter to ask if I wanted to drink anything. By the time I place my order with the menu waiter I had been there for 20 minutes. I was almost ready to walk out. He seemed annoyed at the fact that someone else had taken my drink order. He kept looking towards the door seemingly not paying attention to me. The food was ok, Nothing I couldn't have cooked in 10 minutes (and I should have). Not coming back. read more
