Stopped in on Valentines Day, We must have hit the right time the place was busy but there were a few open tables. We were promptly seated and greeted by I believe a manager, our server was right behind her taking our drink order, we had looked at the Valentines Couples special and ordered, it consisted of a choice of starter ( shrimp cocktail or bruschetta ( , and a small salad, 12 oz NY strip steak, ( $10 uncharge for 16oz bone in ribeye) 2 sides and a desert to split. Everything came out quickly but not so quick to rush us. Everything was spot on. Our town needs a place like this where the staff is excellently trained and management is on the floor making sure everyone is taken care of. Highly reccomend read more

We went to a supper club on Saturday just at the border of Wisconsin and Illinois at a place called Benedict supper club. We expected to have a great steak dinner at this steakhouse, but unfortunately, it was is terrible. Sunday we decided to go to coaches to grab a bite, we had the Butcher block; which was offering a New York strip steak salad and two sides. This New York steak we had blue away that Wisconsin club, with no doubt superior taste, texture, and size. This may not be a Wisconsin supper club, coaches corner, but their food is just as good. You've gotta give them a try if you've not been there. read more

I had never been to Coachs Corner, but heard many good things! My best friend and I had gone to have lunch on Cinco De Mayo. Food and service were great! I got steak tacos- they were ok, not authentic but still delicious. Polomas were delicious!! They were on sale that day. They also have good cheesecake. Since then, I've ordered food to go. Hoping to return back s read more

Excellent server, excellent burger. Many fun menu options for a good American burger spot.

Driving to WI from Chicago and needed to stop for lunch. The town of Belvedere hosts Coach's Corner a local sports restaurant. Great upbeat music on the sound system. March Madness on the multiple tvs. We sat in the bar, and there is a dining area as well. Our server was very nice and helped with recommendations. I got the Coach's Triumph Burger, their signature burger, and it was cooked perfectly! Burgers made with chuck, brisket & short rib meat. Yum! I would get this again. Fries are battered, good if you like battered fries. Hubby got chicken tenders with broccoli. I thought the tenders were a bit heavy on the breading, but hubby enjoyed them. Great find on our road trip. Sorry for lack of photo, we were hungry and on a schedule! read more

Best place we ate at during our visit to the area. Wish they were open more days we were in town. Totally suggest trying this place

Great local bar! Good prices on drinks and tasty food. Definitely my favorite fries at any local restaurant! Also - get the cheesecake!

I'd had heard good things. Not happy with my food. Patty Melt was not grilled as it should be (served on toast) and fries were awful. I'll try one more time. ‍ Server spent to much time on phone. read more

Good place to drink and eat for being somewhere in Belvidere. It may actually be one of the best places in town. Coach's Corner is a better than expected sports bar and grill. For sure it was a lot nicer than it initially looked like about to enter it. The inside is clean and modern, and there's actually a hostess stand, making them among the town's higher class places. Assumed it was a divy sports bar. It's actually a pretty nice place to be honest. This is a pretty safe place to bring a family as it turned out. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and whatever. Among the food there's not a whole lot of vegetarian choices. Some smaller appetizers or bites though. It's about $5 for the Chips & Coach's Salsas. That's plural, as there's arbol and tropical habanero flavors of these. Hot stuff so be careful. The rest of the food is regular stuff like burgers and fries. For a sports bar in a boring town it's good enough. It's a much nicer experience than expected to be sure. The staff is mostly friendly and there's good prices on things. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped here for dinner. She ordered chicken tenders with French fries and I ordered the Gourmet Macaroni & Cheese with BBQ Pulled Pork. Each entree was enough for at least 2 meals. They batter their fries first which sounds gross but the suprr light batter is just enough to make them crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Didn't even need catsup! The mac & cheese was superb with the BBQ Pulled Pork on top. Just wow! read more

Happened in the area and found this great bar/restaurant. Server was very friendly and service was great! Ordered the Italian beef flat bread and the fish and chips. Both had great flavors and seasoned well. Fish was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and flaky in the center I would highly recommend this place read more

Picked a busy Friday night for our first visit to Coach's, but we were pleasantly seated within minutes. Our server was a bubbly and knowledgeable young woman who artfully worked our table with just the right amount of service. Our order was delivered quickly, and the portions were substantial. All in all, we enjoyed our time at Coach's and will be making a return visit! read more

Too loud, couldn't even talk! Service was good but food not so much. Too bright also! Not trying it again.

Great food and great service! Didn't get pictures, but the burgers and the flat bread pizza were excellent. First time here, but definitely will be back! read more

Definitely a 1 and done. Ordered 6 wings ate 1 Ordered a tall glass a beer had a sip. Warm glass= not cold beer, seemed flat as well. Wings are not it at all probably some of the worse I've had. French Fries (not pictured) are actually really good, only reason I gave an extra star. read more

Service and food were great! Crystal was so welcoming & the perfect amount of customer service with a genuine smile and personality. We had the rib tip basket & chicken bacon ranch flatbread. We're not from the area, but if we're passing through again we would definitely make a point to stop back by. Super clean & plenty of room for entertainment & fun! read more

It's been quite awhile since I frequented this establishment. I did a review when they first opened, ( pre-Covid) and this is sort of a follow up to that. First, let me start with what really impressed me- Physical plant/ Ambience- If you asked me how old the remodel was on this place, I would say a few months. Everything looks just as clean, and maintained, as it did years ago. Ray Kroc would have tears in his eyes, on how well this place was maintained. The bathroom looks brand new. Pin ball machines were a very nice addition, for those of us tired of funding the state thru the slot machines. Service- I realize that every place has good and bad days, but it is obvious this place has a service culture. This starts from the owner, and works its way down. Our service was excellent today, as I am sure it is, in a regular basis. Food- Very fast, and came out perfect. I had the wings, and they were great. My wife had a blue cheese burger, that was also impressive. The menu has evolved into bar food, as I said they would on my first review. However, when you do bar food well, you can still be successful. Beverages- I had a 16 ounce Blue Moon draft at $5.00, which was a good price. My only gripe, is the lack of selection on tap beer. No micro brews. Even Guinness would be a nice choice. I think the place opened with too few taps available. If you are going to do your ambience a favor, make the product you sell worthy of it. Remember, the hole in the wall dive bar they replaced, had them beat in two respects. The Friday night fish fry was epic, and they had Pig Slap Vanilla Porter on tap. My suggestion, add 4 more taps- Ps- The owner of Belvidere Appleby's needs to spend a day or two here- service ambience. read more

I have eaten here many times. I try something new on the menu every time. I have absolutely loved every bite of food! The portions are very generous and I always go home with a box. Tonight it was fish and chips. Best fish fry I've had in a long time! I love the bar too! People, staff and owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome!! I highly recommend!! read more

Good food, service was great. Atmosphere was pleasant. Nice place to stop and get a bite to eat.

Great food and great staff. Clean and attentive. The food was amazing. Trust me you'll love the place

Ordered takeout! Food was hot and very flavorful. Ordered eggrolls, onion rings, hamburger and chicken sandwiches, chicken strips and cod dinner! I would recommend all of it. Staff was very friendly. Two different people offered to help me to the car with my order. We will be ordering again! Food was ready on time! Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in tonight to try the fish. The place was packed. And food was excellent. Highly recommend.

Logan Myers was a wonderful personal trainer! I highly recommend if you are an athlete or someone wanting to get in great shape! I'm in my 40s and can't say enough good things. read more

Darryl was an amazing bartender, very attentive and engaging. We had the wings which were perfect, two different sauces on the side no issue customizing our order. They were fresh and crispy, perfectly cooked. We also had da bare down burger and the blue thunder burger, both were huge and had some great seasoning in the meat. We couldn't have picked a better spot to watch the bears play and see all of the other games on too. Will definitely be back when we're all in town. read more

Great atmosphere to hang out! Team is great and very welcoming!! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

Reopening. Finally got back to its beginning. A very good burger and fries. Booths are back. Service was outstanding. Jazmin was very responsive, helpful and just the right timing. Can't go wrong here. read more

Great food great prices great people it's nice to have a place to go and eat a burger in Belvidere besides McDonald's and Burger King good luck with the new owners read more

It's a shame, but closing down. Food was always excellent, but apparently not enough every day traffic to keep it going.

No one at the hostess stand to tell my daughter if/what the wait was on a Saturday night. Maybe no wait should have been our clue after leaving three places last night to find a table. They've replaced their dining room with gaming. Not a fan of sitting in a bar area with kids. Ordered our drinks (water & pop) and the waitress brings us a list of Saturday only food. Not the menu listed on the website. I've tried giving this place a couple more tries in the last year only to be confused as to whether it was open or not, not have someone pick up when we wanted to get carryout, no normal menu. I asked the very nice waitress to cash out my daughters soda, paid and left. I love supporting local businesses, but they clearly only care about catering to a certain customer and it's not families. Very disappointed as we loved it when it first opened, but this is off our list of local picks. read more

Small Town dive bar feel. Food is ok, nothing special, but the drinks are very good and well priced.

Excellent food! Great staff! Friendly and very helpful! The bar is very big with many large TV screens! Great place for watching your favorite team! read more

I was so happy to see they had nachos with fresh chips, but no. I ordered the plate of nachos which was mostly old (maybe bagged) chips and unmelted shredded cheese. I don't understand why anyone makes nachos this way. If you're going to make a gigantic plate of nachos then make some queso cheese, deep fry the tortillas to order, (so easy to do, pie cut corn tortillas and drop them in the fryer) make sure ALL of the chips have cheese, and top with tomatoes, onions, and pickled jalapeños...very few people can tolerate fresh jalapeños! And I know the chefs like to do the fancy squirt bottle sour cream, but that shit should be served on the side, with the salsa. Oh and lettuce goes on tacos, not nachos! read more

First time here. Excellent service at the bar! Fish tacos where flavorful and fish was crispy. Fries had great seasoning. Definitely will be back!!! read more

Disappointed. Liquor way over priced. Its a clean place but come on. Its belvidere. The fries were worse than frozen Aldi fries. For a higher priced bar/restaurant, serving hard crumbly fries is pretty lazy. Stupid names for most of the items on the menu too. Tried waaaay too hard with the names. "MonsTENDERS of the Midway" Really???? And finally on the kids menu they offer Mac and cheese. But it was frickin Kraft Mac and cheese. Not the good stuff. Again, Lazy. Fish was good on Friday but fries sucked and cole slaw wasn't coleslaw. It was bland lettuce. Maybe they'll get the kinks out. I hope they do but Applebees is a much better value overall and that's pathetic. read more

Great staff and food ! Sorry I didnt take pictures but was in a hurry ? We just happened to be down for a concert in belvidere for Valentine's day and I seen this place on yelp. Figured I'd give it a try . Glad we did! Very nice staff and all the food was awesome. We had a few burgers , and fish tacos and nachos! All were fantastic. Looks like a great family restaurant and bar ! I noticed one of the owners -cooks ? Out checking on customers from time to time ! You font see that anymore ! I would come back if ever in town again for sure read more

Best wings ever & the ranch is home made & delicious. Super friendly bartenders. Nice atmosphere. Love this place.

Great place! Great service! Great food! Zach was very friendly! Hubby had burger and I had the teriyaki chix with Napa cabbage and grilled pineapple!!! YUM! Very clean and lots of tvs to watch your fave sport...wasn't busy on a Saturday at noon so hoping the word gets out!! read more

We are from out of town and needed a sports bar to watch a football game. We had time on our way to O'hare so found this place off the highway. The food was excellent. This place was a pleasant surprise. Everyone was friendly. read more

After several recommendations to try this newly renovated sports bar around the corner from where I work, my coworker and I finally stopped in. We were greeted enthusiastically by the waitresses and seated immediately. Our server came quickly to bring menus and take our drink orders. She told us a bit about the restaurant and the menu. We made our selection and our food was out in no time. My friend ordered a cup of chili, heaping with all the fixins, cheese, tortilla strips, jalapeños. She said it was good, but did not have a deep chili taste. Her salad was huge and she ordered a blue cheese vinegarette. She also ordered a side of onion rings, which were perfection! Crispy, not too greasy. Delicious! I ordered the Buc Burger which was topped with a portabella mushroom, field greens and provolone cheese. It was a good sized burger, very tasty, although I didn't care for the provolone cheese on it as it over powered the mushroom. The burger came with fries and I took half the burger home. The waitstaff were very attentive and we had an enjoyable time. read more
