The Liver and Onions was terrific! I really wanted to try the lamb bc I've never had lamb but wasn't sure, however the price is what kept me from it. I did go out on a limb & get the Liver and Onions...it was So good. Even my husband was jealous. He got the Roast Beef Dinner.If this is your first visit, tell the server they should be able to give you the rundown on how the menu works. We should've done that this time as it was only our 2nd time & it's been a while.The place is almost like a time warp...I love the old elegant decor & the oldies music. You know you haven't gone back in time bc the patrons are current era & the prices are current. Great place to try at least once...if not daily.

The rolls were freshest item we had. It was pretty decent homestyle cooking. The worst part is having to pay your bill only cash. No cards. They have an ATM right as you walk in. They charge $2.25 to withdraw your own money. I know alot of people who never carry cash. Waitress was pretty friendly.

FANTASTIC restaurant! They just don't make em like this anymore. The perfect American diner. And when I say American I mean it in the purest sense; everything from burgers to burritos to gyros to seafood. What I love most about this place, apart from the quality of the food, is the fact that it's not a gimmicky eatery. No commercials, no sports theme, no too-busy stuff on the walls. Just a nice place to eat great food in generous portions. Oh, the soup is awesome, too!

BEWARE! They don't take credit cards (they say they like to keep off the 3% credit card fee and keep prices cheap). The service isn't great, the food is honestly pretty bad... I wouldn't recommend coming here and I won't be back. To their credit, the prices are really good... But the prices are just as good as the food quality. I was probably the youngest customer by 20 years...

This place is constantly busy and it's no wonder because they have great food, and a lot of it, at reasonable prices. The meals and the service are wonderful and they have a great variety of food. They make a wonderful breaded veal which they serve with a cheese sauce you can't find anywhere else. It's my favorite meal. Their soups are to die for. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

I drive by this place all the time and I wanted to support a local business.I was blown away. I just had a cheese burger and fries but it was great! The burger came with two patty's and there were a ton of fries. The whole thing was about $8.50 including the tax.Definitely worth a try!

Such a great old school family atmosphere. The food is always great. This time around we got the cheeseburger, pot pie and chicken fried so delicious. This is the only restaurant that I know of that gives its dinners a free soda, soup, salad AND dessert with them. You will never leave hungry! Not to mention the customer service is phenomenal. Like other reviews mention cash only. But if you forget there is an ATM machine! I will continue to tell everyone about this hidden gem ❤

This place feels like you're in an indie film. It has character. Red velvet walls. A little seedy. Hasn't changed since the day it upended feel. It seems like there would be a pool table and card games in the basement.Our waitress had stories to tell but I don't think I should repeat them.Breakfast all day. Generous portions and unique combinations. I wish I could remember but the menu is pages long. Comfort food. My friends love to eat there after finishing a large project. Corner booth. I'm probably too into healthy, hippie food to visit often but I liked everything I ordered. The service was friendly and seems like family with their customers.A relic from the past that has a steady following. I wonder what's really in the basement. If you need a place for a photoshoot in think the photos would look very retro and you could post them on Instagram and people would wonder where you are.

I have been going here for years. Always have had great food. The menu has something for everyone. I use to get breakfast here all the time and it is and was great. I have been working through the dinners. Love that you get soup and salad with the dinners. You also get a desert! Both dinners and breakfast are very filling. Highly recommend.

Good, classic feeling breakfast house with lots of options. The lights on the I side and custom frosted glass really add a cool vibe.I do wish they played Western music from Marty Robbins or Johnny Cash to keep it going.The food was satisfying and it was not too expensive, although the annoyance was that this place does not accept cards of any form, and wants you to use the ATM to get cash. I understand you don't want to pay bank fees. But at the end of the day, the customer is paying for convenience. Otherwise they would not want a waitress, or you to bring them food. Incorporate the 2% cost to swipe a card into your pricing and get in the 21st century.Overall, not bad. I would go back, but the ATM stuff is annoying.

We were new to town and our son loves pancakes. We had passed this place going to eat dinner and logged it for a future visit. Very glad we did. The food was delicious, very good portions and the cost was amazing. The service was a bit slow due to our visit coming during a busy period but overall this is the place for breakfast or lunch!

Me and some friends went here and the big old guy at the front was extremely rude. Telling us we couldn’t sit in two groups of four but had to do six and two like that makes any sense. He also was very rude when answering the phone when we were waiting. As we were waiting to be seated as well a lady tried to check out and said she didn’t have cash (which they were demanding) and the man at the front yelled “THERES AN ATM”. I was excited to try this place but was so disappointed as soon as we walked in. Do not eat here

It was my treat for myself, a friend, the Pastor and his wife as well as the visiting clergyman this day. We prayed over our meal and then dined in surreal peace. We all came away refreshed having first been fed spiritually and then physically. For these things I am grateful. Amen!

One of the first things I wanted to do when I moved to SLC was visit Coachman's and boy am I mad at myself for not doing it earlier. Service was incredible, food was absolutely fantastic with large portions, but manageable enough to eat in one sitting and the prices were unbelievable. Serving breakfast all day, with a great rustic feel to it this is my diner of choice when I'm feeling famished. Give them a visit, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The owner of this restaurant is extremely rude. Went for dinner today at 5:30. At around 5:45 he went into the kitchen and literally screamed at the top of his lungs for his staff to move faster because the restaurant was getting crowded. The entire restaurant went silent. I had a bird's eye view of the kitchen and the servers and staff were moving quickly and taking care of customer needs before the outburst. Additionally, we were in and out in 45 minutes which is a great indicator of our service speed. Everyone is entitled to a bad day, but to scream at and belittle your employees in front of customers is absolutely uncalled for. I will not be going back to this restaurant because of the owner's abusive treatment of his employees.

My wife and I love Coachmans! Overall, our experience is great, and the food is delicious. We really do get a lot for our money.I do wish they would accept card payment, though, not just cash! Most people nowadays do not carry cash, and some of us do not want to pay an extra fee to use their ATM machine. Whenever we want to come to Coachmans, we do have to stop and pull cash, which is an inconvenience, and also a major reason why we do not eat at Coachmans that often. They're also located close to downtown, which is a bit far from us, but we'd almost not care about that at all if we didn't have to stop to get cash. This issue is a major factor in deciding whether we want to have dinner at Coachmans or not, because of the drive plus the extra stop we have to make before getting there.Regardless, Coachmans is definitely still one of our favorite restaurants.

Oldie but goodie! I've been going to this nostalgic place since I was a kid. The food is wonderful! Music played is definitely a walk down memory lane. I love the minestrone soup it is hands down the Best!! I know many people hate that they only take cash but it's old school and why not it's worth the 10 seconds it takes to go to the atm. The waitresses are always very good, "however my only discrepancy is please start giving straws out at the serving of drinks". My favorite is the New York steak meal and Spumoni ice cream! As well as the sandwiches and salads.

Coachman's is like no other restaurant, where you feel like you have traveled back in time to where service was important, where fresh ingredients were always used, and where you got large portions for a very reasonable price. Even the decor matches that yesteryear feeling. It's a slice out of time. Just be aware they do not accept credit or debit cards—is it cash or check only.

This is a great little joint in south city. I drive past it every day on my way to work, but just went in a couple weeks ago. It was Shrove Tuesday, and I needed pancakes. This place does not disappoint. Great bacon, hash browns, eggs, and cakes. You should know that this is a cash-only restaurant, so make sure you come prepared with actual money.

Cash only! Good food, cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. Busy hours can lead to lesser service, but waiters are pleasant enough. If you’re looking for a classic diner breakfast this is the place. Let me say again, CASH only. I’ve been several times and I’ve always been satisfied.
