I haven't been to Coach and Willie's in a few years, and I was delightfully surprised at all of the things I forgot about.
The decor is way nice for a sports bar. Dark wood, marble topped bar. It's just so pretty.
A great selection of draught beer and bottles. They even have Rogue Hazelnut Brown on Tap!! YAY!
And, the last time I was here I was still a vegetarian and hooked on the garlic and spinach cheese sticks which are actually wrapped and fried like an egg roll. We had them as an appetizer and they are as good as I remember. Also served with two dipping sauces - ranch and a heavy marinara. I wish they had some imagination inspired sauce, but they definitely did the trick.
And then I had the burger. I ordered the Three Alarm burger with fries. When the waitress brought it out, I was astounded by the amount of food on the plate. It was HUMONGOUS. I barely made a dent in the fresh cut french fries which were yummy, but not crispy enough for my taste. The burger was so huge I actually had to open it up and eat it with a knife and fork sans bun and accoutrements. It wasn't even barely spicy, but I didn't mind because it was such a good burger perfectly grilled to order.
I felt horrible for eating so little of what was on my plate. However, there was no way I was going to put the not-crispy-enough-for-me fries in a styrofoam box to take home. And I ate what I wanted off the burger, the rest was extraneous.
Next time: I'll ask for a plain burger and 1/4 of the normal amount of fries or some other side.
