Some thing has changed. We have been going to the coachman for years. Best outdoor dinning around They have spent a great deal of money on the outdoor patio. It looks great.however food portions are now much less than ever.the drinks have less booze in them. Food and staff great. Speak up and say something

Had lunch recently on the patio. It's absolutely gorgeous. It was a lovely time with decent service but my chicken kebabs were very dry and I couldn't help but feel that my food was not cooked to order but reheated. At least that's how it tasted.

Asia noodle salad with tuna was just okay for $32. My Orzo salad was mushy and tasteless for a fourteen dollar salad. The flatbread pizza had a blob a cheese all over it and was not tasty for $14 dollars. The best part of the visit was the the waitress. She was very attentive and pleasant. We use to enjoy going to the Coachmen's lodge. We will not be back until the quality of the food improves.

Food is great. for the small and limited menu they have if i wanted a burger or a chicken kabab i would go to 5 guys for 100$ less. They have no seating inside only on the patio and most seats are in the sun. Staff were responsive and kind but i have had food trucks with better customer accomidations

We were so happy to return Sunday the fifth of June, to the Coachman's bar and patio. They were closed for quite a while at the bar due to Covid. Pleasantly surprised to see our favorite bartender, Mel! We have known her for fifteen years and she has found a home here. Mel is the consummate professional! The food was great as always and from the bar you can see the phenomenal cooks hard at work! We also met Bill the owner and his sidekick.

Bill has designed the exterior tree /shrub landscape design over the years, all overlooking a beautiful pond. Creating a wonderful Atmosphere. Thank you to all the hard workers at Coachman's Lodge! A finely tuned performance and execution. Great job very much appreciated. Best wishes for a great season and new entertainment. JC&BC
