    Great tasting, plain to look at.
    William K.

    Coaches is a local chain of restaurants in the Salem/Youngstown area. If you didn't that you'd think they were a national chain. They have a nice open well lit dining room. A very welcoming and friendly feel. They have a bank of five TV's so you can definitely catch whatever you want. They have a nice selection of spirits and beers to pick from, including my favorite Bulleit. Unfortunately they do not have a blender so frozen drinks are out. The staff is very friendly and are easy to talk to. The place even has Keno you can play, or as I call it Freeno. It's like Keno except I DON'T pay to play and every time others lose, I win! I have "won" so much money this way! The menu is a collection of typical items. Nothing particularly original. The food is very good, but just missed on the details. This seems to be a running theme here in Salem. The house salad is really nice with cheese, cucumbers, diced tomatoes and a hard boiled egg. The dressing was served in disposable ramekins. Ugh! I hate those things. The salad was really tasty. The food was brought out about two bites into the salad though. So, timing and delivery comes across as being very rushed. Next up the wings. Today is Memorial Day so their usual food delivery was pushed until tomorrow. So, instead of bone in wings, I was stuck with boneless. They are nice fir boneless wings. The breading is not too little, not too much with a nice taste to it. The nice part, is the breading really picks up the sauce. The sauce which my barkeep Jessie recommended was the Jamaican and wow was the sauce amazing. But, here's the thing. The wings are served in a bamboo bowl with absolutely zero garnishment or dipping sauce. It is presented with the same flair and panache as a bowl of dog food. A brown bowl with brown food tossed in a brown sauce dropped in front of you. The presentation completely detracts anything good from the food itself. The chef and the owners need to seriously reconsider this method of presentation. Then it's on to the pork sandwich. Called the Big "P" it is hand pulled smoked pork (which they do smoke themselves in house) on a wonderful Kaiser Roll with Cole slaw topping. It's very generous. The pork nice and moist. The slaw has really nice texture and flavor and looks genuinely House made. The sandwich is really good. It is however missing a little BBQ sauce to push it into the next level. The entire sandwich is topped with frazzled onions which I also got as the side dish. They are very tasty but very salty. I get the impression it has to do with the batter. I couldn't quite figure if it was the batter alone or if the oil in the fryer needed changing, but, something was slightly off. The Onions were served with a zesty sauce similar to the zesty sauce you find at Burger King. It's not bad, but with the salty nature, a more creamy based sauce would probably go further to keep the pallet from being overwhelmed. I finished up the meal with the cookie Sunday. A fresh baked cookie topped off with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate and caramel. Being fresh baked it gives the cookie that delightful crispy yet soft texture you only get from a fresh baked cookie. The only .thing I would recommend would be a topping of nuts or chocolate shavings. Once again, just to break up the monotony. Otherwise, it is a white skillet with white cream and streaks of brown and tan. Very plain and unremarkable looking. All in all Coaches is a good experience. Not the worst. Not the best, but a very safe place to hang with friends and family. It would be interesting to try some other items on the menu but, only after I have the opportunity to try some other local joints. I place it right in there with the likes of a BJ's or a TGIFridays.

    Food has always been good. I like the atmosphere also. They often have live music and several TV's with the best sports. They have a nice variety of food also. I usually get a salad which comes with pita bread (YUM!) and my man usually gets a burger. He's tried the gyro burger and the pulled pork burger. Also, their sweet potato fries are amazing. I'm salivating thinking about them right now. Coaches is located in a cute streetside building in downtown Salem. There is also a cool, historic area in the back which is fun to walk through. Would definitely recommend!

    I forgot to take pics until after we'd eaten.

    This is hilarious. The so called burger is better at almost anyone's home. Their beer prices are higher than a few buildings away.

    Not as good as the original in New Springfield. Too many locations for owners to be there to make sure food is served warm and quickly.

    A local pub really needs to step up their game to earn a 5 star rank in my book and these guys…read moredeliver! The restaurant itself is nothing special. A front door that is difficult to open and close, a narrow seating area and a beat up bar. They have two TV's in the bar and only one works. So how in the world do they get 5 stars you ask? The food. Plain and simple. The menu has a nice variety of choices. Justine, the bar keep tonight recommends several choices on the menu and then says the one thing I ALWAYS get. The Grilled Reuben. I order it with onion rings. The sandwich looks formidable. A half pound of chopped corned beef smoked in house between two beautiful slices of rye with melted Swiss, grilled sauerkraut and plenty of 1000 island dressing. The onion rings are not hand made... disappointing... but still very nice. This sandwich though... wow! Superb, juicy, flavorful, perfect... simply perfect! For my taste I would toss the corned beef with a little sour cream and a touch of horseradish but, that's me. It really doesn't need it, this stands on it own very nicely. But really the piece de resistance is the Macadamia Key Lime Pie. Hand made by the mother of the owner, this is a one of a kind dessert. The crust, flaky and wonderful, the filling, perfectly tart, the whipped cream is fresh and it is finished with chopped macadamia nuts and toasted coconut. Now, I hate coconut on pies. I feel this would be literally the greatest pie ever if the coconut were simply removed and used as a garnish on the plate. If Ma Mike were to do that and then toast the macadamia nuts it would easily be in my top 2 desserts of all time. But, even with that said, even with the coconut on there, I look forward to eating it again. It was simply amazing. So, if you find yourself near Salem. Drop into Mike's. It is worth the time and the prices are very fair. Say hi to Justin for me.

    Want to wait awhile for your food then this is the place to be. And when the food came the chicken…read moreparmisian my friend ordered was as cold as if it had came out of the fridge. Sent it back and it wasn't much warmer when it came back. We will never go back.
