Always passing by this location but never really entered until yesterday. We wanted something quick and thought why not. The decor and interior is super simple nothing fancy. The waitress was super nice. The food came out pretty fast. This is the type of diner that we have back in NYC and the food was very good! Simple and nothing flashy. For 2 people it was almost $30. A bit overpriced in my opinion. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars, if you are sitting in the booth, and someone is sitting on the other side, you can feel them through the chair. I wasn't able to lean back the whole time due to this, and every time the gentleman on the other side moved, I felt it, and it was uncomfortable. read more

Went to eat and found out it was all you can eat fish night and it did not disappoint..the plate was so full you didn'tneed to ask for more.tender crispy and plenty of it....fries were great too...crispy and very tasty...our go to spot....second time I had clam strips same as the fish,plenty and tasty read more

We tried this place on a whim on the way to mumfest and kinda disappointed a little based on other reviews but maybe we didn't get what is actually good there. I got a 3-3-3 special which is 3 eggs, home fries which better be crispy a little and they were not and no salt, sausage, and 3 pancakes. A lot food for the $12 i paid for but nothing really stood out. Wife something called the courthouse, sausage gravy and eggs on top of biscuits. Gravy tasted like flour. Gotta cook that taste out of the gravy. Kids got usual stuff cheeseburger...kinda tough and a corn dog...normal corn dog which is good. Service was excellent even as they were busy. Normal diner style ambiance. Maybe go back and try the fish and chips but right now not sure. read more

They went downhill with their food. It wasn't edible. I had to throw it away. The potatoes was burnt. The eggs were runny. The toast soggy. I thought I will give them another try again just in case it was an off day. I called in an order and a women named Vicky answered the phone and was very impolite and started yelling I was disturbing her day. She didn't take my to go order and slammed down the phone in my ear. She was so rude and her voice was so nasty. I guess when you have a trashy restaurant the waitresses don't know how to act. My friend when she sits in there they act racist. She didn't know her waitress name so she felt so uncomfortable with her a d the way she was treated she got up and left. read more

The food was very bland, had no seasoning at all. I ordered a side of corn beef hash, I got home fries with chopped corn beef. The waffle was very dense and not airy at all. Also, our total for 3 people and tip was over 75 dollars. If you enjoy breakfast and love seasoning do not go here. read more

For me and the hubs, this is our go-to place for fried fish. They have all-you-can-eat on Wed and Fri, but they also have a Lake Perch Dinner through out the week and it's wonderful. Fish is lightly breaded and cooked just right! Served with slaw (can sub) and your choice of potato its a "winner, winner Fish dinner!" (try it with Frank's Hot sauce..YUM!) Their soups are home-made and rather scrumptious. We've been here for breakfast on the weekends and they are hearty and reasonably priced. It's a small place, but the service is warm and friendly. I love the year-round Christmas tree decorated seasonally...I mean, who doesn't love a Spring Easter Tree?!!! read more

Located in a older strip mall next to Harbor Freight Tools, this little diner offers a little bit of everything as one would expect including great service. Lunch service is filled with daily specials and soups, I started out with beef barley soup, it was quite good and served piping hot, my lunch entrée was liver and onions which came with two sides, I chose fries and green beans. This is not something I order often but was recommended by one of my associates and it was absolutely delicious the liver was sautéed perfectly and paired with thinly sliced caramelized sweet onions which were very nice, the fries were great as well as the green beans. I don't think anything ordered off the menu or wall board would be disappointing it's just that kind of simple homestyle cooking comfort food at its best. I'm sure I'll return when in the area there's not much that can top this in the area... read more

This hole in the wall diner doesn't have an impressive presence but it's clean and tidy. I had browsed breakfast menus beforehand and saw "homemade hash". That was enough for me to give it a try. The prices are great, the menu is big enough to suit everyone and best of all the food and coffee are excellent. Our server Vicky was super attentive. We watched them write the lunch menu and several items sounded so amazing that we wanted to go back any lunch the same day. The list of pies was extensive and sounded so intriguing we have to go back for dessert! read more

Cute small diner next to Harbor Freight Tools offers a classic daily special menu including the iconic Friday all you can eat Fish and Chips. We have been there a couple of times now and the dinner service is rather frantic. The food has been a little too salty and a bit too greasy to call great... but it's a nice place to stop when you need specialty items next door. read more

Went here on a whim while in the area. My experience was interesting. It was mostly blue-collar families here. You can tell they were regulars and enjoyed the food and service. Actually, the whole time we were here (around 10:00 am on a Saturday), the place was pretty full! There are 4 TV's for your entertainment. The menu itself was pretty full and had a lot to offer. Our server was so attentive and nice. She filled our drinks like no ones business! We didn't like our breakfast potatoes, they tasted like they were rancid or something. She felt so bad that she took 10% off of our bill. I told her she didn't have to do that! We were full because the portions were so huge! Our server told us to come back for pigs in a blanket or the Friday night all-you-can-eat fish. I love when servers sell their products. I gave her a very generous tip for her kindness and enthusiasm. read more

Have always wanted to try out the Coventry diner and decided with coworker to give it a try. The diner was packed and the service was fast and friendly and delicious. Everyone there seems to be regulars so we knew the food would be good. Coworker chose the Cobb salad and asked for no cheese and came put fresh and nice size bowl with warm garlic bread. I ordered cheese omelette and have 3 choices of cheese. Served with fried potatoes and choice of bread. Would recommend this place for breakfast.. served all day or lunch read more

I was at the coventry diner on mother's day and it was packed understandably, but I had felt I waited to long to receive my food as I waited around 20-25 minutes for a cheeseburger omlette, the omlette was still good but by the time I got my plate my potatoes that came with it were just about cold. I would like to mention though the waitress we had was awesome she did a great job, the staff is very nice and friendly, i will go back but ill make sure it's not at a busy time to give the place a second chance. read more

My review is gone that I posted a few years back. Why? It was a horrible experience eating here. The pancakes were mush. The potatoes were burnt and the bacon was like rubber. And there was an awful stench. Have never been back read more

M. 7a.m. really post your hours it helps. M- second trip breakfast was good but not great like most places they are afraid of seasoning. The thought is let the customer decide salt, pepper, or hot sauce. Unfortunately the food requires seasoning at the time of preparation. Nothing says home cooking like lack of flavor. The foundation of a good meal is elevated by considerate preparation. A little salt goes a long way to bring flavor out of food. For you with a bland pallet stay at home and do your home cooking. For us who are willing to pay for meals give us some flavor. read more

Great service. Food served promptly. Assortment on menu and specials are very nice. Friendly staff. Lots of regulars but not awkward to walk in to. Had breakfast there on Sunday. Beat the rush and enjoyed my experience there. read more

I Went in for breakfast and got biscuits and gravy. The gravy was in a bowl that had a dried line all the way around the outside of the bowl. That happens when you reheat stuff in the microwave. Too bad it never got hot. Not to mention it had virtually no flavor at all. The biscuits were not very much like biscuits because of how soft and moist they were. Not moist like butter but moist like Water. I loaded the gravy up with salt and pepper and it's still was not very good at all. My friend got the BLT sandwich and it was incredible. When the waitress saw that I didn't like the biscuits and gravy she offered to get me something else and I went with my friends choice and enjoyed that indeed. They were nice enough to not charge for the biscuits and gravy as well as half-price a to go order of dessert that wasn't super pretty, still a full portion though. I would recommend the place if you're willing to take a chance. We did go in less than an hour before closing on a Saturday, so it happens. Super nice front of house stuff read more

We have ordered take-out as well as eaten at the restaurant over the past two years and have never been disappointed. Our favorite is Friday fish night. When ordering for carry-out we get the fish dinner. The fish is excellent, plenty of tartar sauce and lemon too! The staff is friendly, the restaurant clean and a good home-style diner atmosphere when eating inside. I have recommended them to all of my friends. I'm glad to help support them through these difficult times. Keep up the good work Coventry! read more

I been getting lunch there once or twice a week because it is close to my office. They have delicious freshly-prepared food, including all you can eat fish Wednesday and Friday. I have also enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan, city chicken and roast beef sandwiches. Great friendly service. The only negative is that they have country music playing, but the food is really good, and the prices are very good. Comparable to Lukity's. read more

I have to say, my initial reaction when I walked in the door was to walk back out before anyone noticed me. This is because of my own personal bias against places that I feel don't try very hard to provide an inviting atmosphere. Some people don't care about that and just want a good meal. I think those are the type that probably are "regulars" here. First impression was cold, impersonal, and just...we do the bare minimum to make some money. In relation to the decor, it gave the impression to me that "We sort of care, but we don't really know what we're doing in that arena so we give up". Maybe they should take a whack at one of the designing shows and get a remodel. I HATE the blaring yellow walls. But they did have some cute decor up, although it didn't look well arranged. It definitely has that "cheap diner" feel with cheap cafeteria style chairs and cheap vinyl table covers. I almost didn't want to use the ketchup bottle because it looked, um, well worn...so I'm guessing its been refilled many many times. I don't know, I just wonder about the germ factor. Not to say the place looked dirty. It was kept up well enough. I'm a nurse and I imagine germs in all the cracks of everything. LOL. That being said, this area doesn't have a lot of good sit-down restaurants that aren't attached to a bar or have a dozen televisions throwing sports games in your face. I wanted to try somewhere I haven't been before. So I stayed. Average selection. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, well-done. They let you put as much of whatever toppings they have on it. I had BBQ sauce, mushrooms, lettuce, tomato. Came with what looked to be home-made chips (very good). My burger still had some pink but wasn't cold and I normally would order medium-well, but seems like a lot of places don't know the difference so that's why I ordered it well-done...to avoid it being nearly raw, so no big deal to me. The patty did seem like something momma would have hand-made. I liked the burger a lot, to my surprise. I truly expected to dislike the food. My main complaint is that it had an onion-y taste. Perhaps they grilled it next to something with onions in it. I do not like onions, so that took off a point for sure. Also, I had cut it in half prior to eating for better handling and by the time I got to side B, the bun was getting soggy. I generally gag on wet bread, but it wasn't too bad and I ate most of it. I also, admittedly, am a freeze baby. But it's late January in Ohio and under 30 degrees outside. My nose and fingers were just below ice cubes in there. Knowing that I'm cold all the time, I initially didn't register fault with that. But then I realized that my table was once removed from a working ceiling fan and upon closer inspection realized everyone else in there were wearing their winter coats (and one had her knit cap still on). Just before I left, I felt the heat kick on, but being cold is on the top of my list of reasons to avoid a place. As for staff and customers...the waitress was fairly nice, checked on me, refilled my drink as you would expect. She seemed to know several of the guests by name, so obviously the place has garnered regulars--mostly of the working class, middle-aged to elderly sort who you would imagine want value over glitter. This meal and a soda cost nearly $10. I suppose that's getting to be industry average, but considering the atmosphere and not being "blow my socks off" good...I think I can do better elsewhere. I wouldn't refuse to go there again, but my search for decent neighborhood haunts continues... read more

Standard diner type fare. The food was good, but not really anything special. The service was good.

Food is very simple but good. Great, friendly staff. Soups are made from scratch. I am fast becoming a fan.

Been here a number of times and they always seem to be on top of their game. On our last visit, I got liver and onions with home fries, (the mashed are of the boxed variety), The veggie was green beans, and it came with a side salad and rolls, phew thatsaladdafood!! My wife was suffering some digestive issues and got a cold turkey sandwich which came with chips, which she just left on the plate. the sandwich was fine, but not the bone-carved breast the waitress had suggested, but rather luncheon meat. The salad was nice enough, I pushed my roll accross the table so my wife had something to gnosh on while awaiting her entree. It seemed to meet with her approval. Here's the swesome news, I asked the waitress if she would request that my beef liver be SMOTHERED in onions, and I would happily pay any necessary surcharge. She heard, made the request and chef complied! Just being heard by both parties is a minor miracle. Not only was it smothered, but it was tender and excellent, a tricky feat with liver which transitions from perfectly done to shoeleather in a nano-second! My other sides were quite good as well. When we're in "the hood" of this spot and the stomach growls it's our go-to spot! read more

I would give only 3 stars BUT the staff were extremely friendly so 4 it is! I hadn't been here until today though I've heard lots of good things from coworkers who love this little diner. When you walk in, you'll notice that it's not a large place. There is a giant chalkboard on the wall with the specials. The prices seem right especially for the large quantity of food they give you. I ordered the BLT with potato chips and a diet Pepsi. The BLT is pretty large and tastes exactly as I would expect. My coworkers had the fish sandwich special for lent and holy cannoli was it huge! There must have been 5 perch filets on this thing! It came with coleslaw and french fries. They had to take some filets off their sandwiches in order to eat it because it was way too large to fit in their mouths. Neither of them were able to finish their meals. Overall, good experience and I'm sure we will be back. I'd like to go back and try their breakfast foods. Those blueberry pancakes are calling my name! :) read more

My wife and I have been there twice. Both times the food was excellent. The first visit she had shrimp & fries & I had chicken parm. BEST FRIES EVER!!! Second time we shared a roast beef sandwich & fries. The prices are very reasonable and the waitresses a friendly. They made me a fresh pot of coffee and kept my cup filled. The place is kind of hard to find but worth the effort. You can tell they care about the quality of product and serve generous portions. read more

Ordered fish on Friday for take out. Usually pretty good, but was very disappointed in fish dinner. Fish was soggy and fried potatoes fried too long. read more

Stopped in on a whim for a Sunday morning breakfast. The omelet was delicious, the home fries a little too well done, but overall a great value. My husband had the homemade hash special and it was also very good. Service was fast and friendly. We will be back. read more

Great place for lunch-love the fish on Wed & Fri

This is my favorite breakfast spot. I come here a lot because it's so close to my house. The food is very good and the prices are very reasonable. $10 can get you a meal you can't even finish. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! read more

Great spot! A cozy little, very quaint diner with great food. I loved the steak & eggs. Service is always fast and friendly.
