Nice little place to have a meal. You can as I witnessed a good 5 regulars that stopped at the bar there. Fish, chicken, burritos, spaghetti and more. There is something for everyone. read more

Great spot to grab some good food while in the road. No frills type of environment with good food with good prices. I had a ribeye which was delicious and it came with baked potato and a salad. Enjoy!!! read more

Our server, Emily, was great and the Prime Rib sandwich was the best sandwich I've EVER had (& I'm 50!) what a great spot to go and eat! read more

We went out here to celebrate my wife's birthday. I wasn't at this point super hungry as I had eaten a very late lunch but decided to order the patty melt with potato salad. The waitress was newer but did a great job with getting us our drinks and food. The potato salad was very food as was the patty melt. I would have liked more onions though. I tasted food and fresh though and the prices were quite reasonable. I saw a broad array of choices too and someone else got a steak that looked amazing so I know what to order next time when I am more hungry. read more

Great Greeter, Great Service Great Food. Can't go wrong with Prime Rib Special. Thanks you! read more

What an abysmal disappointment!! Used to be a great restaurant when Larry ran it. Fish was quite good, but our onion rings came out, they were burnt and cold. When we made the mistake of sending them back, they came out well cooked and hot....unfortunately they were of the lowest quality of pre-made, frozen rings with little to jo flavor. Used to Best the best place to eat in Plainfield, but those days are, obviously, gone. read more

This is an old-school restaurant and it is popular among the older crowd. It does not have real good signage and can easily be passed. The building itself it not marked. You will only see the tall restaurant sign along the street. It is tucked away near the Cracker Barrel, if that helps. It has a large private parking lot, with more than enough spaces and a huge dining area. There ia also have a full bar with seating and a small patio area. You will find televisions, without sound, around the dining and bar areas. The restaurant serves up you typical diner favorites such as burgers, fish, salads, steak, tenderloin, wings and Mexican food. They have a packed menu. Be sure to ask about there daily specials. I went with the prime rib and cheddar melt, with a side of fries. It took about 12 minutes minutes for them to prepare my food and have it at my table. It was fresh, hot and delicious. The prime rib was tender and flavorful. I really liked it and highly recommend it. The staff was nice and the restaurant was clean. It had a nostalgic, antique/historic vide. This is an obscure diamond in the rough that is definitely a viable option for diner or lunch. read more

The most plain Prime Rib I have ever had. All the other steaks they serve are seasoned. The server said they actually boil their prime rib first the it's grilled. Asked me if I wanted horseradish for it and I said no. My thing about steak is it should be seasoned and not need stack sauce or anything else on it. My daughter enjoyed her pork tenderloin sandwich though. Very disappointed as it was our first time and they did nothing to make it right read more

Food, service were perfect. In and out for lunch. Prime rib was tender and broccoli was fresh and hot

So my last review stated that I had been given some great reviews about this restaurant but my experience hadn't been a great one. The staff, environment and all that was and is great. I just didn't enjoy my food. With that said I went back and had one of the best steaks I've ever had. And the absolute best cooked steak I've EVER had. I order a medium rare filet and it was perfection. I'm glad I gave this place another chance. Will definitely be back! read more

What a pleasant surprise! I was staying at a nearby hotel for one night and looking for a good place for dinner. After checking the map, I found this gem and decided to give it a try -- and I'm glad I did! The parking lot is large and easy to access, with a charming little pond and a beautiful entryway that gives a great first impression. Inside, the restaurant is stylish, comfortable, and very clean. There's also a lovely outdoor seating area with tables, umbrellas, and a peaceful view of the pond. The menu offers a wide variety of options -- even picky eaters will find something they like. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. The hostess was welcoming and friendly, and our server was fantastic -- attentive and pleasant throughout the meal. It's independently owned, not a chain, which makes it feel even more special. I'd absolutely stop here again the next time I'm in Indiana. read more

Not a place I would frequent, but it's a decent watering hole for groups. The food isn't anything to write home about. It could certainly use an update, as it's really outdated. Service was good overall too. read more

Staying nearby for a trip and was able to walk in for dinner, sat outside on a nice patio even if it was a bit warm and directly in the sun. Had a couple of cold adult beverages and a grouper sandwhich and a pattymelt. We were both happy with our food and drink selections, feel like the waitress was perhaps avoiding the heat a bit and choosing not to pay as much attention to the people sat outside, which was a bit unfortunate but it didn't ruin the meal we are happy to track people down if need be! read more

Ask me where I want to go after picking me up at the Indianapolis International Airport? Well that would be The Coachman for a breaded tenderloin sandwich. One of the best tenderloin sandwiches in central Indiana and it's always consistently delicious. Lightly breaded and pounded out thin but not too thin on a nice sized fresh baked bun with all the fixings, side of fries were not the best and next time I need to remember to get onion rings instead. The atmosphere is cozy and feels like an old friend each time I eat here. Our server was attentive, fast, and friendly. If you moved from the land of the breaded tenderloin (Indiana) to a tenderloin desert (Texas), do yourself a favor and get your tenderloin fix at the Coachman. read more

Took forever to be waited on! We ordered fried shrimp--used to have the best fried shrimp around but not today! They were very small and mostly batter--the batter wasn't very good either! Our server never brought our dinner rolls that we requested! Definitely not worth the money today! The only plus was the fried mushrooms were good! read more

We came here on a Wednesday after visiting with family in the area. I'm glad we came here on a Wednesday since it was .99c wing night! Delicious wings and a large menu selection of other dinner items if wings are not your favorite. The decor is old school. We sat at the bar and had a couple drinks. It was busy but everyone was friendly. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend stopping by. read more

This little place looks like an old OCharlie's. Nice and quiet place. The food was good. Right next to a pond. I was I. Town to visit some stores and wanted to try something new. The service was on point and would go back to try something different. read more

This is a mom & pop shop. Not fancy, but Great food with attentive service. If you're in the area, it is worth a vist.

I really debated between two and three stars for this one. It's a bit on me that we had an issue with our server and didn't bring it to their management to possibly rectify. But on the other hand, it was a thing that I shouldn't have had to deal with. You can read the other reviews if you want more info on the food - It's fine, think slightly higher end non-chain Applebee's level of food. Great atmosphere, (mostly) good service, etc. Here's my issue. Our server was polite and prompt all through our date. We went on a Monday night. We were a little dressed up. Both wearing our wedding rings. Clearly (I thought) on a date together. But at the end of our meal, our server asked if we wanted separate checks. I'm white, the husband is Asian. It's 2023. Surely we are not the first, or second, or 500th mixed race couple to dine in that restaurant. It was very off putting and pretty much ruined my experience there. Like it never even occurred to our server that we were together. read more

The coachman is an unpretentious steakhouse and one of the better restaurants within the Plainfield, IN region. The restaurant makes effort to recognize veterans which is refreshing. The food is good (don't expect a Chicago Michelin starred steakhouse, you're in suburban Indiana), simple in presentation, but tasty. I had the French onion soup, prime rib, and twice baked potato. Everything met expectations. The ambiance is very casual, at times somewhat noisy, but very friendly and approachable. The staff and service were friendly and patient. All in all, this is a top pick for the western Indy suburbs if seeking a nice meal at an approachable / casual venue. read more

I haven't had a bad experience like this in a long time! First off The waitress I guess thought my wife wanted lemon in her water but I was the one who asked for it, no big deal right then when I ask her if I could get some for my tea she walked away saying (well if you have to have one! )Then salads were good , food came steaks were good just a lot of fat , my Mac and cheese was good , but my wife's fries were terrible maybe because they cooked everything in the same grease or something ( not exactly sure ) I even tried them and I'm not picky and yes they were bad .but she finally came back and ask how was everything we told her the fries tasted bad and she really didn't care said they are fine and walked away . Never ask if we needed a refill on drinks. Oh ya my wife ask for ketchup and she didn't seem happy about that. We really felt like we were a burden on her. She did say it's been a long day and I said yes for us as well ! I have never not tipped but this service just wasn't worth a tip! Sorry ! Ps what's left on my plate is all fat! Not worth the money! It worth the time to drive 15 minutes to Longhorn! read more

Food was excellent & our server Jessica was wonderful too. I had the Friday fish special with chowder & my husband had the Reuben sandwich & potato salad. We both decided we will be back to try other menu items. Restroom was very clean too. read more

Gave this restaurant a second chance, and much improved from our first visit! Short 10 minute wait on a Saturday night. Once seated, service was maybe a tad on the slower side but nothing life altering. Food was good. I had French onion soup with fish and chips and my husband ordered the Rueben. Our meals were tasty and portions were as expected. French onion soup was exceptional! Our server would bring fresh waters but never took the old glasses nor did he clear the finished soup when the meal came, so dishes did pile up on the end of the table. Interior was clean and quiet. Overall good meal and we would come back again! read more

We had great service and good food for lunch today. The deserts were made from Scratch and you can taste that freshness! read more

You can have a decent meal here but don't expect great. Price is fair. Food decent, Service as good.

Took 15 minutes to get a server, then they waited on another table that came in after us first. Atmosphere was lacking. We left before we ordered. Would not recommend. read more

I have not been here in probably 15 years. I always loved there prime rib. But I went early today so I made sure I got some prime rib. It was not as good as it used to be in fact it had very little taste compared to what they used to serve. The French onion soup was good and the potato skins were alright they were pretty big but there were only 4. My wife had the patty melt she said it was excellent and the fries were good. The inside is a bit dated it was clean and the staff was very friendly. The parking was good but they could use more when there busy. The prime rib is also over priced for the quality. read more

This restaurant came highly recommend. I was looking forward to the prime rib sandwich, but the grill was down. My husband had the fish and I had the club. Neither disappointed. We will return for the prime rib. Plenty of parking and a great atmosphere with friendly service. read more

Party of 7. My BLT was POOR, bacon burnt, no tomato, very little mayo and dry cold toast. Others food cold upon delivery. Just plain bad experience. DO NOT recommend. read more

Service was amazing. I had the grouper sandwich so good!!! The staff was really friendly and we were sat very quickly.

This is really 4.5 stars, but 5 stars from me is pretty rare - it needs to blow me away. BUT, this place is really good. FO soup was awesome, chicken liver app was perfect; and the blackened grouper sandwiches were very good, just a tad salty. Potato salad is definitely homemade...you don't see that often do you? Clearly a local place as everyone seemed to know one another. A good sign for a traveler like me just passing through. Will be back next time I am in the area read more

Old and not well kept. Smelled musty. Ordered ribeye and one of the worst steak I have eaten at a restaurant. Ordered a steak to medium and came half medium and half rare. Not sure how they couldn't tell when one half is darker than the other. Broccoli was cold and the twice baked potato was cold on the inside. Will never go back. read more

We don't know any other place where you can get fried chicken livers. There's come as an appetizer but I add a baked potato and salad and take lots of livers home with me. Their burgers are amazing and the prime rib melts in your mouth. Service is exceptional! The atmosphere is nostalgic and comforting. They have outdoor seating, family dining and a full bar. read more

Good steak and shrimp Good drinks at bar great salads. Onion rings were cold was the only complaint. read more

We sat outside and discovered they had live music, which was great but...was just way too loud. Now, this isn't a case of "if it's too loud, you're too old". We were at the race track all day and around plenty of loud cars, however this music was smothered out all of our conversations. At first it thought it was just us, but as we walked in and got settled we saw 2 tables of 4 people stand up and leave while muttering that they couldn't hear each other. Then during the course of our meal we saw another 2 people walk out complaining about the music volume. That's 10 people in an hour. Not sure I'd want to loose that business simply due to volume. The artists sounded just fine, but way too loud. Now on to the second major problem...terrible service. Our server Westley was borderline horrendous. Walked over to our table handed us menus and left. No intro, no welcome, no specials, poor attitude. Completely inattentive throughout the meal, never checked on us, left drinks sitting empty, cleared some plates, left others that were clearly finished on the table, overall poor service. Which is ironic, because there is a blurb on the menu which says something like "This isn't a fast food restaurant. Our food is made to order. Tip your server. A 20% fee maybe added". Ok, well try having a professional waitstaff who doesn't belong working at a fast food restaurant and that might be more applicable. When we were getting ready to leave, after my drinks had been sitting there empty, I asked for another water and a Diet Coke to go. Leaving the two empty glasses sitting right in front of me, he brought me two new drinks, NOT in a togo cup, and still left the 2 empty glasses. I would return and sit inside, but never with Westley. Prime rib was good, but needed some more seasoning. French Onion soup was lacking flavor and poor overall. read more

Wow what great food. If you like red meat then this is the perfect place to go. I had fish and chips. A little lighter but still tasty.

Food was excellent as always. Ambiance is almost an acquired taste there: noisy. Which is fine unless you expect gentle. It's incredibly popular with locals. The downside is possible a fluke. The waitress was either very distracted or needs a new industry. She didn't listen and messed things up as a consequence. We only got one glass of water when asking for 2. The second glass of wine for my wife came at the end before we left. After reminding her. Asked for chocolate cake to take home and when got there it was German chocolate cake. There were a couple other things. It all sounds picky but as a package it was underwhelming. Usually staff is great. Won't mention names but it rhymes with dandy. Cheers, Bill read more

The food isn't winning any awards but certainly a great value. Nice place to take guests if the budget isn't huge. Our server (who said she was newer) was really personable & friendly. read more

Been there a few times and it had been pretty good as long as you stick with what they're known for like the prime rib or grouper. Decided to try the special tonight and what a horrible decision I made. It was lousy. The chicken chimichanga tasted like canned chicken. The tortilla was soggy. Horrible. My wife got stiffed on her codfish dinner. They didn't bring out some of the sides. The soup of the day was utterly disgusting it was supposed to be a chicken enchilada soup. The other two in our dinner party were not overly pleased either. We all regret what we ordered and going there for dinner. It just reinforces why we cook at home and never go out to eat. Having a hard time justifying to ever return. read more
