Treat yourself to the fried pickles, you’ll be happy you did!
I created an account just to write this review. I was visiting Prince George and found this place. We noticed there were only a handful of people 1 table & 3 at the bar, should have known then! We ordered water and tea, the waitress came with the wrong tea to start. My bf ordered a burger and I ordered chicken cordon blue. The salad dressing was horrible & tasted like the blue whale candies from the corner store (weird). I tried the risotto and it was very over cooked, it tasted like mushy bland rice, no flavour at all. Into the chicken it started well then half way thru I noticed it was pink. I showed my bf and he literally pulled the batter off and pulled it apart and we found raw pink and CLEAR chicken inside! It was disgusting. I called the manager over she took one look and said oh I see it & took it to the back. While we were waiting for her to return the waitress came with the bill for our drinks and my bf’s burger. We did not recieve an apology of any sort from anyone which upset me so I asked for the manager. She came back out and started arguing with me claiming the chicken she declared raw was not because they used a thermometer. This was one of the worst food and service experiences I’ve ever had. I will never go there again and make sure I tell everyone I know to spread the word. If I become sick they can bet the health authorities will be hearing from me.
Coachs corner needs a time out. My girlfriend and I have been stuck in Prince George for several days, and this restaurant was near our hotel. Unfortunately, geographic proximity does equate quality. I had the Santa Fe burger with salad, and my girlfriend had the Chicken Cordon Blue. My burger was homemade, bland, sadly lacking in spice, but cooked. My salad was a simple green salad, with dressing that tasted like 5 cent candies. I’ve never applied pepper to a salad before that night. It didnt help. My girlfriend had the same salad with candy dressing. The Cordon Blue came with risotto, which was bland and clumpy (pepper on that too), another salad that was soggy and wilted, and a chicken cordon blue that, with the exception of the first third, was woefully undercooked. When we approached a manager with our concern, she did not apologize until we made mention of the fact. She also said the chicken was a normal temperature as they checked with a thermometer… A half our after it was out of the oven? She proceeded to argue with us over the quality of the food. Completely unacceptable. Perhaps the eight people in the entire restaurant should have clued me in. Lesson learned PG. I wont be back. I would not recommend. There were dumpsters outside that I’m sure contained the same quality food.
Prince Gastronome. Ive noticed a pattern of late akin to an Oreo where my reviews have been alternating between condemnation and praise. Perhaps using the odd/even Star Trek curse would be more apt. From First Litre Party Shack to Spicy Greens and now to Coach’s Corner, a sports pub in case you couldnt discern it from the name, which would make you about as obtuse as a coat hanger*. At least Coachs Corner isnt gaudy. The TVs are plentiful but the cheap sports memorabilia and alcohol advertisements are not. About the only manifestations of recreational activity I could find are the stained-glass sports figures over the bar. I guessed that Coachs Corner was built ceiling to floor, running out of funds before reaching the floor. With neither tile nor linoleum, I found only unrefined concrete of such irregularity that not a single table looked even. When I attempted to move mine, being crammed too close to the corner, I discovered an annoying wobble since I had uprooted it from the folded cardboard coasters under its legs. At least the music wasnt annoying, greeting me with Hungry Like the Wolf, surprisingly appropriate as long as you dont think too deeply about that songs true meaning. But like all other pubs, Coach’s Corner isnt permitted to stand apart from the expectations of a Canadian pub, with wooden chairs and laminated stain-proof tables, wooden walls, and TVs on absolutely every wall. It would be an interesting thing for a pub to be built more like a theater, where groups around tables watch from a massive communal projector. I guess that would blur the line between pub and lounge. Just saying its an idea. Its coming to a point where I think no one opening a pub has any imagination. If you blindfolded me, drove to a random pub, except for the First Litre Party Shack (because of its lack of decor) and the College Heights pub post reno, I wouldnt be able to identify where I was. With the exception of one Toshiba DLP not unlike the one in my home (mines bigger), most of these TVs are smaller than a HungryMan platter, another feature apparently part and parcel with pubs. It would then have to fall to the food to stand apart. I was offered an express lunch menu, a single double-sided laminated sheet offering burgers, wraps, soups, and sandwiches. Appetizers were notable absent. I eventually ordered the most expensive dish, the beef dip tipping the scales at a shockingly reasonable $12, presented alongside your choice of soup, salad, or fries. I went for the soup as Im still suffering from nightshade poisoning from the amount of potatoes ingested from the last pub I went to.Coachs Corner is bizarre in that it has an open kitchen in sight of its floor, only a few feet away from a bar which I swear takes up half the square footage of the entire establishment. Its an unusual mix. When the food arrived, I had to quickly verify which was soup and which was beef dip, with one only slightly larger than the other. Not enough soup? Plenty, it was the beef dip which probably had an undertow. It was incredibly optimistic given the modest size of the sandwich. Pounding through the meal took only a few minutes. Still not a bad value for $12. The sandwich was properly toasted and the meat rightfully seasoned. Both the soup and the sandwich were good if perhaps a few broken rungs below spectacular. Coachs Corner definitely took time making a decent meal. Nothing was nuked or lazily dropped on my plate. The sandwich was even connected by a skewer. There was literally nothing I could complain about it other than perhaps a need for a slightly larger sandwich. I had this feeling that if I had ordered a burger and fries, it wouldve been characteristically large enough to topple the table. Comparing that to the identically priced meal I had at Spicy Greens the week before, and you can begin to see my point. I suppose the appropriate praise I could rain upon Coachs Corner is that its fine. Just…fine. Its not insulting; the food isnt bad. Like Tony the Tiger after coming off a sertraline high; its not great, but its better than a pass. It breaks the pattern of the Oreo, forcing me to bring back the Star Trek comparison. It is an odd-number installment but not The Final Frontier or Insurrection. At worst its Generations, best at Search for Spock. What else can I say? I cant find anything to really hate about Coachs Corner, and I want to. It seems criticism spurns more creative metaphors. But when a place falls into the grey zone or neither good nor bad, Im left befuddled. Comparing it with other pubs, its better than Shooters, worse than CHP, and when rated on an average against its kin, well above the bar, but only because its kin commonly rate slightly higher than a private table at Abu Ghraib.

Yum!. Best pizza and wings in town! Friendly servers too. Had a good time.
Mediocre. Just… mediorcre. For some poeple, that’s awesome.
Good Sports Bar. Coach’s Corner is a good place for the basics -karaoke, watching the game & beer. Usually serves as a pre-drink haunt for those heading out to bigger and better things. Food is pretty good too. Overall, no complaints.
