A classic diner experience complete with country kitchen decor! A busy Father's Day breakfast that did not disappoint. The coffee was hot, the homemade muffin divine, and the big breakfast hit the spot, if a little under seasoned. Cheap, fast, and good. Rare to find all three these days! read more

Coach House Restaurant - The works omelette for two - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brewer, Maine

I have no complaints about Coach House other than being the youngest diner in the joint, and I am 61 years old. That aside, the food is basic, well prepared and priced appropriately. Get the beef tips--they are quite good as are the burgers. When you tell the waitstaff you want it medium rare, it is. Like I said, it isn't fancy. The place could use sprucing up in the decor, but it's honest. Get dessert. It's yummy. read more

I cannot see why anyone would go here. The owner could care less about the business. It's obvious with staff she employs. Low tier cooks to low tier has been waitstaff that have zero issue with your dining experience being bad. Why.. old people go there is beyond me. Treated like crap with subpar food.. makes zero sense read more

The service was great! The food was delicious! Lots of choices on the menu. And the best part was it was affordable !!! read more

Thought we would try Coach House out for breakfast and we weren't disappointed. Didn't wait long, but there was a line, which let us know that the place was worth the wait. The server was attenti e with a great personality and the food was delicious. Im sure we will be back. read more

First: We [two] walked in and waited to be seated, as a sign instructed, observing that the place was 2/3 empty. [I counted tables and parties.] After a longer than expected wait, for a place that seemed very quiet, a staff member looked at us "Two?" I said yes. She grabbed two menus and headed to a dank looking corner. There was an empty sunny booth. I asked if we could sit there. "I suppose." was the response, as if it were a hardship. Yes, it was a booth. Yes, we were only two. But there were many empty, and the booth I had indicated was set for two already. Second: Coffee, not right away as one would expect in a breakfast place, but after quite a wait, again, in a restaurant that was 2/3 empty. The coffee was ok. Third: Food was not hot. Fourth: An unbearably bland breakfast. [Wife: Bland Veggie Omelet, me: Canned Corned Beef hash, but the eggs were perfectly poached and the biscuit was tender, flaky, and delish.] Bottom Line: This place is fine for basic calories. Nothing was overtly bad. But...so uninspired, from the food to the workers. read more

Coach House Restaurant - A cool grasshopper I found. Nothing to do with food. My new best friend. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brewer, Maine

We went late on a Sunday. We wanted the try a lobster roll. It was just okay. Customer service was okay, but awkward. The ambiance was okay. read more

I went to the Coach House for my future MIL's birthday dinner and enjoyed it! The waitress was very attentive to my food allergies which I appreciated. I ate the fried haddock for dinner which was very tasty. Best part of the meal was this delicious blueberry pie. I ALWAYS get blueberry pie in Maine when it's on the menu. read more

Coach House Restaurant - Blueberry pie a la mode - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brewer, Maine

Zero quality control and shitty management. My friend and I ordered fish chowder and the seafood platter to split. The soup had a funny taste to it and we chose to let it slide. Once our entree came we both agreed that all the seafood except the shrimp had an off taste to it. We made the server aware in which she immediately apologized and offered us to order something else off the menu. I ordered a BLt. Although, it was just fine, it was also nothing to write home about and could have also used more bacon. My friend ordered the hot turkey sandwich. Besides the turkey being dry the gravy was so coagulated it was unappealing! She took ONE bite and spit it out into her napkin, it was so bad. I've seen my friend enjoy many hot turkey sandwiches over the years at many other restaurants and she has never not enjoyed one. We let the server know and she offered for her to pick something else off the menu In which she chose to not take anymore chances. When the server brought the check, mind you the manager NEVER came to the table, not even to apologize or follow up; she said management removed the seafood platter only but would not take off the turkey sandwich. When we were cashing out my friend asked to speak to the manager but we were informed "it is a shift lead not manager on duty". I told my friend it makes no sense in mentioning anything because this place didnt care. Well a young girl comes out full of attitude with a prideful face asking who wanted to speak to the manager. We told her not to worry about it because it is obvious that she didn't care. She rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders. Just awful experience; except our server, she was great. And clean up in there dingy and dusty! read more

Made a reservation for 9 people. Great service. Yummy brunch. Will definitely come here again when in town!

My father and I stopped here while out for a Sunday drive. They were only serving breakfast (not brunch, just their regular breakfast menu). We were hungry so we stayed to gave breakfast for our lunch. Dad ordered a blueberry pancake (his favorite cooked breakfast meal), I had the "Downeaster Benedict"... his pancake arrived and it was cold, not warm enough to melt the butter he tried to spread. My Benedict was AWFUL. The hollandaise sauce is served on the side, but it was cold. The corn beef hash (instead of ham) was ok, the poached eggs were under cooked (the yolk AND the whites were runny), the "home fries" were AWFUL. I ate a few bites of the Benedict and gave up. Each bite was as bad as the previous bit. Dad managed to finish his pancake.. which had maybe five blueberries in it. The server apologized and gave us a discount .. $2.00... I will not go back. read more

The staff here is very accommodating and cheerful. My motorcycle group switched it's monthly meetings to this location and they give us a private room. The food is always delicious and our room is perfect for us. read more

Food was over cooker, portions are small, wait staff eager to just get you out of there. Home fries with onions are tiny fried potatoes with onions thrown on top. Omelets are very small, all meats are the precooked that you just reheat, sausage links were black they were so over cooked. Not offered any refills on drinks or even asked at any point how the food was. read more

I was hungry, driving back home from Mt. Dessert Island and this was a gem of a place on our way. The staff were lovely and the food was great! I love breakfast and they had the best! I had the big breakfast and my friend had the Farmers breakfast. Both were great! The big breakfast is really big with pancakes, toasts, eggs the way you like, bacon or sausage and potatoes. This filled me up for the day! It was so good I ate it all! Definitely recommend the breakfasts here. The place is nice and neat, restroom was clean also. I give 5 stars!! read more

Went in for a late (1pm) lunch today. Nice greeting at the hostess stand, and I was quickly seated at a booth for 1. I know most restaurants are short staffed so I knew to be patient. Waiting 10 minutes to see my waitress was a little too long (I almost returned to the hostess station and asked for carry out.) Lunch was a simple tuna melt which was good. The sides of French fries and Cole slaw was ok. Coleslaw was not to my taste but it's always a crap shoot. I just think management should have a way to tell servers when a table has been seated. It was clear she had no idea I was there before she delivered someone else's lunch. read more

Down to earth food, reminded me of the kind you would find in an old mom and pop shop, even on a strip where every other store is big box or big stores. Grilled haddock sandwich was delicious and came with home made Cole slaw to die for. read more

Coach House Restaurant - Dining area - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brewer, Maine

I got the chicken tenders and French fries and sautéed onions, jalapeños. The chicken was pretty good but the dipping sauces (bleu cheese and ketchup) was not great whatsoever. The service was pretty good though we got served decently quick and the waitress was very polite. The place didn't smell great but was a pretty nice restaurant overall. read more

If you're looking for a classic down east Maine breakfast spot, this is it. It's easily one of the best breakfast restaurants in the area. The homefries, eggs, and pancakes are the best and they have a wide variety of menu options from egg and sausage burritos to a build your own omelet. Everything is reasonably priced too. This place has many local regulars and the staff seems to greet most of them by name. If you're not from the area, I suggest you check this place out for a small town diner experience read more

Have not read the reviews of this place, but from our experience the total star rating might be right on. We came here for a lunch and by the size of the menu I could see why some dishes are probably dated and just taking up good space in the kitchen. I had the Reuben and she had the open faced beef sandwich. Mine was great. Hers was not. Sometimes I think she needs to let me order for her . Hers was a train wreck, beef no flavor. Gravy no flavor. Mashed potatoes had the consistency of an instant product. It was all one note. A whole plate of blah. This is a solid 3.5 star place. read more

We came here for dinner on a Thursday evening and we were seated immediately. The server was very friendly, the service was okay, and the menu was full of choices. It's definitely not upscale but decent enough. I ordered the baked seafood dinner and hubby ordered the lobster roll basket and cheese fries. Our little one had the grilled cheese and French fries. Everything was tasty. The service was good. Quoting a fellow Yelper, " It's fast, efficient, and reasonably priced, nothing more." read more

Very unwelcoming; I was appalled. === I was traveling yesterday with my two sons, and my older son has two life-threatening food allergies (one of which is highly unusual and harder to accommodate); thus, we always travel with food for him. My boys and I entered the Coach House Restaurant, hoping to have breakfast; as always -- because it is absolutely necessary -- my older son was carrying a closed plastic container with dry cereal and an unopened bottle of orange juice. This is survival for him; he cannot order anything to eat ANYWHERE because there are always mystery ingredients or there is cross-contamination, and he has been to the hospital before because of a reaction to a restaurant's food (we had done a thorough allergy check with the cook, who neglected to mention a critical ingredient). When my sons and I entered the Coach House Restaurant, we were met at the door by an employee who said we could not bring our own food into the restaurant; I calmly explained to her that my son has severe food allergies so he cannot eat restaurant food. She left and consulted with another employee, who then came to see us and repeated that we could not bring our own food into the restaurant; I calmly explained again that there was no way that my son could eat anything from their restaurant because of his food allergies. The employee repeated that my son could not bring food into the restaurant; I responded that "you've lost us", and we left. === The employees of the Coach House Restaurant made no effort to ask how they might attempt to accommodate us; they were cold and rude; there was nothing welcoming in anything they said to us; there was no apology that they would not be able to accommodate us; their facial expressions said: "Get out." === My sons and I go to various restaurants when we travel, and we have never encountered such a rude reception; my older son should not have to eat alone in the car just so my younger son and I can eat something in a restaurant. I owned and operated my own restaurant many years ago, so I get it; the owner of the restaurant doesn't want people bringing in their own food; I really do get it. But it's 2024 and there are people with life-threatening food allergies, and that is a reality. === Don't eat here. The employees weren't friendly, and the place didn't look all that clean; there are other restaurants in Brewer and Bangor where you'll get better service in a cleaner establishment. read more

Dropped in briefly, just for take-out pie. And what a terrific idea it was! Graham cracker pie is not something I'd ever tried, and it was very tasty, albeit quite sweet. The chocolate cream pie is super rich, and we could only have a little bit of it. The coconut cream pie is the real winner here! Just wonderful! Take out service was fast and friendly, and all three pieces of pie were less than $10 together! read more

Coach House Restaurant - Clockwise from top right: coconut cream pie, graham cracker pie, chocolate cream pie! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brewer, Maine

We come here often and never had really poor service like we did today. Our waitress Ruth forgot about us. Some other waitress brought us water. Then after a while our waitress finally took our order. After our food finally arrived, the pancakes tasted bitter. They had a glob of danish filling on the top of each pancakes. We never received our bacon until I finally realized that Ruth was not bringing them to us and ended up saying something to her. This experience really clouded our other visits. They missed the mark. read more

Great selections and always open for our needs. Always clean and friendly waitstaff. Will make a meal the way you want

The lady that greeted us was very disrespectful and in patient. Do to everything going on they didn't give up cream and sugar for the coffees. The food was either undercooked or overcooked. The sever was okay. At the very least they mask to use if needed. read more

Hilariously bad service The waitresses are very reluctant to do anything other than the bare minimum. It is not one waitress that is bad,. It is the entire lot of them. read more

Ive been holding off on doing this review because I wanted to like this place. I did. We came into town and decided to have my son and his boyfriend out for brunch. They chose this place as my boyfriend and I dont live in the area. Checked the menu online and everything looked fine. i ordered a mimosa and sat down to look at the menu. i decided on the steak and eggs. My boyfriend had biscuits and gravy. My son and his boyfriend got pancakes and something else that escapes me. im a big drinker, I told our waitress I am as well. I kept having an empty mimosa glass. They could have made so much more money on me, but our waitress was not attentive. Also, the mimosa was very orange which means its light on the champagne and heavy on the orange juice. It was what it was. We really were not impressed with the food either. We wont be back. read more

I've really only ever been here for breakfast, but we've liked it both of the times we've been here. It's exactly what you think it is - fast, efficient, and reasonably priced food. It's nothing more than that, but there's also nothing wrong with being that. You all know that I get the same thing - although I've pared it down a bit lately - I got three eggs scrambled with sausage. I like patties - and I would have sworn that they had them the last time I was in - but the waitress informed me that they only had links - the patties were turkey sausage. I'm trying to watch my calories, but I that's a bit far for me. I want real sausage, so I took a chance on the links, which I find sometimes to be fatty, or not well-cooked. My sister had the scrambled eggs, too, only she ordered bacon instead, as well as their "home fries", which are better named "home slabs" - they're the same type of cut one would use for scalloped potatoes, only they're fried. My eggs were fine (granted, hard to screw up), NOT watery or runny at all, as another reviewer experienced. The links were quite good and well done, which is how I prefer them. I liked the coffee, my sister didn't, considering it was weak. She likes her coffee to be able to bench press 400lbs - the kind that dissolves the spoon, the bottom of the mug, the table, your foot, and then the floor. I do not like that kind of coffee. Her meal was satisfactory, too, The bacon was good and plentiful, and the home fries were good, also, although they were lackluster in regards to flavor. Something like that cries out for onions and garlic to jazz them up a bit. The service was fast and friendly - but then, we were there early, long before the Sunday morning rush. We'll keep this place on our rotation of acceptable breakfast places for when she and my friend visit. That's pretty good praise for us. We're a picky lot. read more

This is our 3rd time here for breakfast. Service is good , food is excellent and place is very clean. I would highly recommend this place for best breakfast in town! read more

Okay it's basically a diner. Cheap decor, cheap service, cheap food. It's a fine place to go for a quick bite to eat if you're in a hurry and/or don't want to spend much cash, but it's nothing special. It's the kind of place where you always see the elderly couple having the senior citizen's special of liver and onions. (Not that there is anything wrong with that per se, it's just not the type of establishment that I prefer to spend my eating out money in). There are dozens of much, much better places to eat within 3 to 5 miles so unless you are basically looking for a small step up from McDonald's both in price and food, I'd definitely recommend looking elsewhere. read more

Coach House Restaurant - Hunters Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brewer, Maine

Lots to choose from, good portions and inexpensive! It is your typical family restaurant where you might go because they have something for every one and the prices are excellent. The service was quick, my meat loaf was delicious and I enjoyed the graham cracker pie. Not sure what else to say, except it is convenient to the highways! read more

We decided to take our family here and were hoping for a delicious breakfast. After being served our breakfast my wife discovered that the eggs in her western omelet and a smaller amount of the eggs in my scrambler omelet were raw. When we mentioned this to the waitress she was really surprised because they microwaved the dishes. She first said she would get both plates taken off the bill, but after the staff examined both plates of the not fully cooked eggs they decided that because my wife ate half of her eggs, and that I ate most of what I had been served we only had half the cost of her plate discounted. Please be careful with a restaurant that doesn't consider any amount of raw eggs a concern. Deeply disappointed mostly because this restaurant used to care more about their customers and quality. In my opinion they've lost their way, this restaurant isn't as clean as it used to be and overall they don't seem to care. read more

For the love of Pete save your money and eat at ANY of the other breakfast places in town. Worst food you'll ever put inside you. Their French toast is like eating a sponge. People who grew up in Brewer know this place as "the Roach house" For some reason old people insist on going there probably cause it's dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for, inedible dirt. The Eagles Nest in North Brewer is a better option. Also City Side and Judy's. All affordable but edible!! If you're up for driving to Winterport and spending a little bit more, go to the Bantam Cafe, right downtown next to the pizza place. Best breakfast in the tri-county area!! read more

Where to start. There's so many paths this review could take but I'll stay focused. Average employee age, 60. Average patron age, 86. The best description of the food? Smells just like the kitchen at the nursing home my grandmother used to live in. The "orange juice" was pulped orange water from not very good concentrate. The eggs Benedict way over cooked and the eggs almost resembled being hard boiled. The home fries thin sliced potato rounds. It's just an odd experience. A very local population and it really brings in some odd characters lmao. I'm a Mainer and even I was a bit agasp. Normally you can choke anything back and move on. Personally? Id keep going. read more
