Coach & Willie’s

This is one of our favorite go-​to places for lunch or dinner. The food is always great and the portions are always large (in my opinion) and the menu has a lot of variety for kids and adults. Not to mention my husband loves the sports theme restaursnt/​bar with tvs and the bar entertaining the most current games. I love the patio for cooler weather and it’s nestled in cozy downtown chandler minutes from our house. The staff are regular so it’s nice to see familiar faces with great service. Even the owner runs food and waits tables now and then (at least we think he’s the owner — super tall handsome blondish guy).

I have been here several times. I’m a huge fan of a good olé basket of fish and chips so the first time I ever came here I ordered myself a basket. When they came out they looked so good but when I took a bite they weren’t very good. The batter was kind of sweet something I wasn’t used to.
On the other hand the other times I have ordered their major league nachos and let me tell you they are the bomb diggity! They give you a lot it can feed up to 3 – 4 people. Their fries are good and so is the hummus. So I definitely won’t be back for the fish and chips but I for sure will be for the nachos!

I’ve been to C&W a handful of times. The food & drink are always good. Atmosphere is pretty chill & casual. They happened to be having this beer in a bag thing going on when I was there last night… $ 2.99 for a «mystery» bottle or can of craft beer… you don’t know what you’re getting until the server brings it to the table. I gave it a shot. First beer was great. Second beer was an IPA. Not my thing. Had a nice time, as usual.
The main reason for this review is for our server, Jessi. She was out-​fucking-​standing. Great energy, always smiling, helpful, attentive. Even while her section was full. I hope management @ C&W sees these reviews and fives her the props she deserves! I’ll definitely be back & hope I’m seated in her section again.

I have to give them 3 star because my waiter was the worst. There weren’t many ppl there. We got seated right away. I ordered the margarita pizza, along with the lobster bisque that took 45mins. It shouldn’t ever take that long when the restaurant basically empty and it was only a party of two. But overall the food was good.

Food was great… Service didn’t match. Very nice waitress, but with a full staff there shouldn’t be a long wait. We had a party of 2, soup salad and pizza… 45 mins, and the food didn’t come out together. The place is clean, looks like it would be a great sports bar, but it’ll be a little while before I try again. 1^st impression ruined :(

This place. got my highest rating not because of the food but 100% because of Jessi our server. She was one of the greatest I have ever had; attentive, personable, genuine, and friendly just to say a few things about her.
Now the food. The menu left me and my family lost in great choices trying to decide what to order and the decisions were difficult. The food itself was ok, nothing really blew us away but we will come back because we all want to try something else. The pizza was good and we all liked the chicken parmigiano. The fish and chips were just average. We tend to share our meals and the thoughts were unanimous.
See ya. next time.and we only want to sit in Jessi’s section.

Great place for lunch or after work unwinding. Try the Sante Fe Chicken Salad.
Friendly and professional staff. Easy parking. Great bar.
Nice place to enjoy a brew and watch a game.

Our server was awesome! She hooked me up with THE best Mac n’Cheese. And our last minute Mothers Day drop in was seated immediately. One of our new spots to hit after Church!

Came across this upscale sports restaurant from a friend! It’s the perfect place for sports watching, gatherings and amazing food! I have never experienced a menu like this! It’s so fresh and creative and mouth watering! Love love the French onion melt and the bacon nation burger is phenomenal! I love the the owner is cooking with the rest of the crew behind the line and the staff looks like they are having a blast! The GM is bopping around keeping people happy and making a impressive presence! I really enjoyed our encounter with Nicole… she’s fun and real and had some great suggestions! Definitely a must try!

I guess this place is your typical chain sports bar but with a bit of a country twist. I walked in prepared to hate it but it actually ended up being pretty decent. They had a few choice craft brews on tap in addition to the commercial brands. The burger I ordered was tasty. But what got them a fourth star was the fact that you can get a really yummy spinach salad as a side instead of fries without an upcharge. That is awesome! We may end up finding ourselves here again sometime if the wait at SanTan gets too long.

Very friendly bar staff. I come here mainly for that. The food is ok and the setup is fine for watching a game but really, you can get that anywhere. The happy hour specials are good as well. It is definitely my first stop for a drink in downtown Chandler and often turns into the only stop.

The BEST BURGER I’VE EVER HAD!
Our first visit to Coach & Willies and it won’t be our last!
We had the privilege to be served by Tanya on a Sunday afternoon and the burgers were so good we even tipped the Chef!
We highly recommend this place and happy we tried something new.
Don’t forget to try the Lobster Bisque. I’m not a bisque fan but I am now :)

Ehh this place was okay. Didn’t impress me. Only came here because Santan brewery had a 1.5 hour wait! Anyway this place had TVs around the restaurant. I was looking for a lighter than usual meal and was deciding between Baja Power Bowl and Grilled Steak Cobb. The deciding factor was when I saw the next table order the grilled steak Cobb. It was a piled high neatly layered cylindrical and colorful salad with arugula on the bottom, chopped red onions, chopped tomatoes, avocado, cheese, grilled steak with a 2 inch high pile of fried shoe string onions. So hey! Why not try it!
Oh what a disaster. When I received my plate it was nothing like the one I saw in the next table. First off I did not even get any shoestrings piled high — only had a few soggy breaded onion strings — like three or four pieces that were smashed to a smidge of the top. The grilled steak was super chewy. There was an overdose of gigantic chopped red onions. There was not any Gorgonzola cheese — instead I got chunks of blue cheese. Looks can be deceiving. I didn’t like what I ate but ate it anyway.
Too bad I didn’t have a good experience. :/

Pretty good food, not too busy at night. Thinking during the day might be a lot livelier. Lots of beer draft choices and good music. I recommend this place

The perfect place for that refreshing recharge after a night out. A wide variety from the healthy to the sinful. Our server, Tonya, was everything one wishes for in the dining experience. Oh, and one can not forget the Famous Bloody Mary.

Love the atmosphere! Nice, mixed crowd of joyous sports fans. Went to watch the football game on one of their many TV screens. The weather outside was a little windy and the satellite signal kept going in and out. …very annoying. Finally, some genius had the bright idea to tune into the local network…(the sky opened up!)
I tried the black n’ bleu burger which was DELICIOUS! It was huge; I couldn’t eat the whole thing!
Our waitress was on point. She was friendly and kept an eye on our drinks.
I would definitely return.

Average Bar Food with Haute Cuisine Prices.
The food is OK. Just OK. It’s typical bar fare — burgers, wings, pizzas… But the ingredients are not extraordinary, and neither is the execution. It is average at best.
There was a selection of local craft beers, which is nice, and a lot of TVs showing different sports. The staff seemed under-​trained (our waitress wasn’t sure what beers were on tap, even though I ordered from their brand new draft list).
I would not be surprised to learn that the «brisket» on the Brisket BBQ Burger and the «Italian Beef» on their Italian Beef and Pepperoni sandwich are the same meat with different sauces. I would also not be surprised to learn if it was Steak-​Ums, and even that severely overcooked. Dry. Crispy. Unseasoned.
Wings were nice and crisp, but lacked seasoning.
Again — not bad, but not worth a $ 75 lunch tab, that’s for sure. If they reduced prices 20−30% across the board then it would match the quality that they are serving. It was fine for a $ 9 hamburger; but not a $ 13 hamburger.
There are several restaurants in downtown Chandler putting out creative and delicious food by talented chefs, all within a 5 minute walk from this place. You can’t sling out crummy bar food and charge those kind of prices. We won’t be back.

I love that they have a Mesquite burning stove. It smells wonderful as soon as you walk in. They cook their pizzas in the wood stove and I believe some of the baked homemade pasta dishes as well. The one problem I had was their fries. I like big meaty steak fries, and these fries were more like large shoe-​string fries.
There is a nice bar with cool bartenders and good drink specials. Give it a try if you are in downtown Chandler.

Tried Coach and Willie’s for the first time today after hearing rave reviews from friends about the different kinds of mac and cheese. I sat out on the patio and waited to meet my sister for lunch. I was greeted right away and drinks were brought out quickly. They have a nice assortment of lunch choices on the lunch menu. I decided to side salad and a cup of the green chile mac and cheese. It was delicious! Breadcrumbs and cojita cheese on top and creamy and hot on the inside. The green chiles add just the right amount of spice for me. My sister had the lobster bisque and the bacon mac and cheese and loved both.
They definitely have some other great looking menu options that I will try out in the future. The reviews on here are mixed but I will definitely give them another try after the good experience today. I will also be back to sample the bar menu. Overall good experience.

It’s 5 o clock somewhere is always my first thought since I love happy hour. =)
I’ve been here for dinner once but never for happy hour so my friend and I wanted to try it out. Their happy hour is only served in the bar area. I don’t really like it when restaurants limit you to a certain area for you to sit for happy hour. It feels too limited and it shouldn’t matter where you sit.
We ordered the wings, hummus and some Chicken taquitos. I liked the hummus and the portion was a rather good size. The Chicken taquitos were a bit bland and the salsa it came with was nothing special. I washed it down with some Pinot Grigio which was also mediocre.
All in all, I didn’t think it was anything spectacular. The service was on the slower side. It took about maybe 30 minutes or more to get our food but it was busy so that was understandable. I thought it was pretty reasonably priced though since all of this came out to only about $ 22. =) Might come back if I’m in desperate need of happy hour since it’s super close to my house which is always a plus. =P
