Not sure what the other reviews rave about but the food was awful. The beer selection is great but overpriced and that goes for the food as well. Will not return. read more

I'm a self proclaimed beer snob and rightfully so. I've lived in the Pacific NW for quite some time and was exposed to some of the best craft beer in the country. Now I'm lucky enough to live in the Great Lakes region where we have equally as good craft brews just not quite as many options. BUT thanks to The Gammon Coach House I can experience all my favorites and try some new ones without having to leave my hometown of Batavia. It's true good to be true but yes...Batavia finally has a pub worth raving about. GCH is a nice spot to enjoy high quality craft brew with a solid pub menu. They just opened so I think they are still working out some kinks but overall they're on the right track. I've visited GCH about 5 times now and continue to enjoy the experience. The food menu is a bit limited but the if you're in the mood for a quality burger or flat bread pizza then you'll be fine. The burgers are better here than at the rival Geneva Ale House! They also have sweet potato tater tots which are way better than their cousin the sweet potato fries. They serve 10 beers on tap (sometimes they may be out of one or two of the hot sellers) and a host of bottles. They could probably expand the bottle selection a bit but I prefer draft beer so I don't really mind. They have two LCD TV's where you'll find a prime time football or baseball game on but watching sports isn't the main attraction here. Save that for Buffalo Wild Wings. Their patio is pretty big but with only a handful of nice days left in the year you better enjoy it while it lasts. The service is pretty good but it's getting better. The two girls behind the bar, Melmo and Nora, are great. The one think I'd like to see is some drink options for kids. Maybe some apple juice, lemonade, milk and a plastic cup option. I'm not suggesting they go over board with a full kids menu option or anything but it would be nice to have an alternative to glassware and the orange juice and water they serve to kids today. I'll be watching to see if they change this up. If they don't then I'll have to assume they're intentionally not catering to kids which would be sad because Batavia is a family oriented town. I'd hate to have to limit my business because I couldn't have my 6 year old join me for a burger and some tater tots! I really hope they continue with the quality beer and food selection I've seen so far. If they do then there's no doubt GCH will be a big success for Batavia and the surrounding Fox Valley area! read more

Was looking for some comfort food on this cold dark winter night so I ordered up meatloaf and mashed potatoes dinner and a salad. Salad was ok but they left the onions on when I had ordered without. (I am allergic to onion) the meatloaf was a less than a half inch think, dried out and charred slice of meat. Charred is not a good flavor for meatloaf. The only good thing was the green beans even though they were ice cold. Perhaps gammon could invest in some foil to keep carry outs warm on these freezing cold winter nights. Oh well - I'm new to the neighborhood and will keep looking for something good to eat around town. read more

Average, fine, unexceptional, fair, garden-variety, middle of the road, run of the mill, commonplace. These are all things that come to mind when thinking of this restaurant. Atmosphere - Fine, Beer selection - Fine, Food - Fine. Not bad, not great. There are better choices and worse choices in the tri-cities area. read more

First time here had the ribs ( Sat night special) - I'd recommend these. Last time I came was for the Fri night fish - bad idea. Batter was super heavy and the fish was way overcooked. Service and beer selection was first rate both times - I may return the give the food (not the fish) another try read more

This place has gone from being my "favorite bar in Batavia" to my favorite bar, period. There's not much to say that hasn't already been said - they've had over 500 different taps rotate in a little over a year, the menu specials for food are some of the best in town (especially the half-off burgers and brisket sandos), and you're bound to have an interesting conversation with someone here, even if you show up on your own as I often do. I spent the past ten years living in the city and couldn't be happier to have this place within walking (more like stumbling) distance of my home in Batavia. read more

Went here because of the good ratings on yelp. Never again. Service was fine, food-terrible. Terrible terrible terrible!!

Love this bar! The food is good and the beer selection is beyond amazing. My husband and I love to come here and see what new addition they have to the beer menu. Reasonably priced and great service. read more

still a great place for a craft beer & good unique bar food - service & atmosphere mediocre, feels like they either don't care or don't understand what a difference the right service makes. Lunchtime review read more

I went there for the first time on a online date. I really like the atmosphere and the Bloody Mary was delicious. It is a great meet up place fro friends and family. read more

This place is tucked away in the south west corner of route 31 and Wilson Street. It is small and dark but they have one of the best beer list in the area. They even let you try a sample of the beer if you're not sure that you'd like it before you buy. the food is very good although I had the ribs the other day and they were just so-so. They were kind of fatty and they are not cooked in a barbecue sauce. We've had other dishes there and had no problems also it is one of the few places that still serves tater tots or sweet potato tots. but definitely a great place to stop by for a beer and a bite. The staff has always been friendly and the food is moderately priced. they even have a patio although looking over the parking lot, available when the weather is nice. Definitely worth a try and a good place to try a different kind of you especially if you are not the Miller Lite or Budweiser type. read more

Love this place. Really good food, & great selection of beers. Dive place feel without being a dive. Has outdoor seating when weather is nice, & friendly staff. read more

You really can't go wrong coming here. Great food, service, charming cozy atmosphere and a great selection of beers.

A old small cramped place that many other suburbs would outlaw. The mini panini were the best and should be enjoyed by all in the area. The beer is expensive though in this place. It has a old classic turn of the century feeling and great service with good food but can't give it more than three stars because of the expensive cans of beer read more

Great burger! They made it just the way I wanted, no complaint. The sweet potato tots were new to me but they were pretty good. I'm pretty picky when it comes to burgers and I will definitely come back. It would probably feel better if the waitresses didn't call me 'sweetie' or 'hon'. read more

The beer on tap is worth the trip alone. My husband and I had 'Robert the Bruce.' I had their pizza and ate the entire thing by myself. It was delicious. Fresh mozzerela and basil with a very thin flatbread crust. I agree with Tom K. when he stated that the Gammon Coach House is craft beer and comfort food. Will return again. read more

First time here and I would put it average at best. Lots of different beers if that's your thing. Outdoor patio service was great. Dining room had a musty odor and the windows were needed to be cleaned about 2 months ago. Would I return ? Most likely not. read more

As far as pubs go, this place is just okay. They had a good craft beer selection and offer daily specials. My husband and I both had their signature burgers and weren't too wowed by them, but we did enjoy the tots as a side dish. We probably won't be going back as there are better food options in and around Batavia. read more

I've been to Gammon Coach House fives times now and am a fan. Parking -- there's plenty of room to park on either side of Wilson St. that runs alongside Gammon Coach House. Lay-Out -- it's a little smaller inside, but not wall-to-wall people. When it's warmer outside, you can also enjoy a pint on their patio. There's a backroom with additional seating as well. Some people are turned off by it not having a huge open floor plan, but that's how the building was made. Back in the 90s, it used to be a sports card shop, so they've done a pretty job opening it up as much as the building would allow them to. Food -- I can only speak to the pizzas and once I had their fish. The pizzas are good, with a crispy crust and the right amount of cheese. The fish was good as well. Beer -- the main reason I go is their selection of craft beers. I'm a huge fan of Three Floyds, Two Brothers, as well as some southern California IPAs such as Stone that they have. Great stuff. Service -- Service has been attentive and friendly in my visits there. One server seemed a little frazzled on a busy night (perhaps they were shorthanded or something), but otherwise, I've never had a problem. They could do a better job wearing some sort of T-shirt or something to identify themselves. Sometimes you can't tell if they're an employee or not. Prices -- Are a little steep for Batavia, at least for the craft beers. I can't recall prices on the food though. Bathrooms -- were clean and functioning. No graffiti, cracked mirrors or King Size Snickers bars in the toilets that management hadn't taken care of yet. Woo hoo! TVs -- they have some by the bar, but this really isn't a sports bar. If you're looking for something like Buffalo Wild Wings, you got the wrong place. read more

What the Gammon Coach House lacks in size, it more than makes up for in food, beer, and service. My husband stumbled onto this place (thanks, Yelp), in an attempt to find a decent Friday fish fry (thank you, Lent). He decided that we should give it a try solely based on 1.) finding it decently reviewed on Yelp and 2.) the photos of the food on their website. I can't stress how small this place is, but then again, when you're called "coach house," I guess you can't expect much bigger than a shoebox. The atmosphere is quite charming, very pub-like. There are a few tables in the front & a small separate dining area in the back as well as a bar with a handful of barstools. The beer menu is extensive, filled with interesting sounding craft beers, and the food menu is simple and straightforward. I appreciate that. The fish fry was excellent, and what's more, I was able to order tater tots instead of fries (oooooh yes). For $11, I got 3 fat pieces of battered cod, and mound of tater tots, and a heap of pretty tasty cole slaw. I'm not a huge fan of slaw, especially when it's mayo-based, but this stuff was fresh and pretty tasty. The service was a bit slow, but it was a Friday night, and there were only 2 servers. I had to ask twice for a glass of water, but only once for a refill on the hot water for my Numi organic tea (yum). Overall, my dining companion and I were quite satisfied with our experience at Gammon Coach House, so much so that we are already deciding when we'll come here again. This is most certainly a great little gem, tucked away in downtown Batavia. read more

This place is tough to find unless you know where you are going. I am not sure why they have a Batavia Ave. address, when it is really more on Wilson Street behind a building that is on the corner of 31 (Batavia Ave) and Wilson. That said, this was a fun, small local place that was worth the adventure of trying to find the place. Good beer and good food. Our server, Matt, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Good burgers, sweet tater tots, and a good beer. It has a quaint, relaxed atmosphere which is much needed in an area loaded with chain restaurants. Keep up the nice work fellas!! read more

Have just gone for drinks, and craft beer selection is great. 11 uncommon draft beers on tap and 35 bottle beers with some rare 22 oz bombers. Food menus looks like regular pub fare with sandwiches, burgers and pizza. Will be back. read more

Average food, slightly below average server experience. Had wings, son had a burger. All in all, may go back for a beer, of which there was a nice selection, but will look elsewhere for food. Can't go higher than 3 stars. read more

Friendly service & great beer selection

I live down the road form the Coach House. Great bar, great beer and dogs are welcome on the patio.

A tidy pub with good food, great service, and moderate prices. The meatloaf was noteworthy. Easy parking. Lovely porch.

Server was friendly with a pleasant demeanor. She tells things how they are which is what I prefer instead of a script. The beer list gives you plenty to choose from. The atmosphere is very quaint but not stuffy. The food is simple and delicious. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because we were told the fries were fresh cut and they were anything but. Will definitely be back though.... read more

They have an amazing selection of draft craft beer, that changes frequently as well as quality pub food. If you are a beer connoisseur in Chicagoland and looking for more then traditional selection of Goose Island and Two Brothers, this is definitely a place to visit. You will be pleasantly surprised. read more

I hate to leave a bad review but my husband and I went here for lunch today and we were very disappointed with the food. We ordered the pretzels and queso for an appetizer and they came out cold and dry. I ordered a BLT with tator tots as my meal and I could only get through half the sandwich and a small handfull of tator tots before I had to stop eating...the bread on the sandwich tasted like it had been soaked in oil and much like the appetizer, it all came out cold. The tator tots tasted like they had been cooked hours prior as well. I'm not usually one to complain but when I'm laying in bed feeling incredibly ill from a BLT and some tator tots, I felt the need to say something. read more

Great place in Batavia. We enjoy sitting outside with a unique beer and having the brisket sandwich. Excellent option, especially on a nice night! read more

Simply awesome food as always!! Fantastic bloodymary's!!! One of my favorites in the Tri-cities area.

Love this place! Great menu, wide selection of craft beers. Friendly neighborhood pub, perfect for a quick drink on their outdoor deck or a quiet dinner. read more

I do have to get my chili fix every couple weeks at Gammons...they add some hot peppers to the chili and it is awesome! The selection of craft beers is excellent and if your an amateur beer drinker they are happy to help out. Great for patio dining as well. Changed to five stars as Preying MAN tiss stalker bartender has been fired.That was the only negative I had was that bringing men friends there was not an option as she pretty much took over my dates. LOL. Twice I left them at the bar and told them to continue their evening with Ms..can I shake my boobs in your face and compete with your date for your attention....shocking to say the least but the goods were definitely for sale. SO back to enjoying myself and will definitely have dinner on the patio with a date! (apparently I wasn't the only lady having this issue!) Thanks Gammons for recognizing the issue. read more

A really neat place for lunch. Beer selection is awesome. It's one of those places where you listen to people discussing beer like it's their life. We eat good food and laugh at them. A little drafty in the winter, but it is a coach house. Need to add Heinz ketchup! read more

ZERO STARS First of all, the place is dirty. I have never seen them clean one of the outside tables. The inside tables are sticky. If you choose to sit at a table the waitress does not want you at, you will get moved and she won't be kind about it. She will move you right out of her station while all of the other patrons watch. Not too embarrassing. In fact, they are very rude to certain age groups. We try to support local business, however four times we have been moved despite there being plenty of other open tables. We have been moved from a comfortable table outside where there was a nice breeze, to a tiny table in the back, next to the waitress station and a dirty window sill. Once, while attempting to dine inside, we were moved to a disgusting table next to the bathroom while we enjoyed the ambience of listening to the disgusting sounds that came from within said bathroom. We had to leave. When I go there with my daughters, this NEVER happens. When I go there with my husband who is white haired and frail, this ALWAYS happens. We will never go back. In our opinion, the waitresses discriminate based upon age. Maybe they think we are not good tippers. Since our daughters were servers during their college years, we are typically 20-30% tippers. Their loss. We now go to The Range. Great food. Great service and the owner trips over himself to make sure everyone is being taken care of. We had two choices for dinner last night. We chose The Range. Gammons has good food, I'll give them that. But you can't enjoy it if you don't fit the desired customer demographic. read more

Can't beat the beer selection and the food is top notch. They're specials and soups are delicious. The pizzas are crispy and tasty. The wings are some of the best in town. The pulled pork is one of the best sandwich I've ever had... read more

Best craft beer selection in Batavia. Somewhat of a smaller menu but the food is good. Not a ton of seating and we've never had bad service.

Great place for a variety of beer. The taps are always changing. This doesn't mean that they are always great taps but I like a great variety. The food is good for bar comfort food as well. I also really enjoy the atmosphere. It reminds me of northern Michigan, Wisconsin. Nice little place. read more

Stopped in here while passing through on a work trip. Small, local tavern. Good vibe, decent and inexpensive menu, friendly bartender/server. Satisfying and pleasing if you're interested in "tavern" style dining/drinking. Beer menu should suffice for most anyone. read more

the owner and his staff are very rude and unprofessional and they demand customers to leave tips even if you just get drinks (even water). i'd highly recommend finding another place to take your family and friends too. read more
