| - I really want to like Coach and Willies - Downtown Chandler needs more options. This was actually the second time we came in here, but the first time was such a quick visit and so not memorable, it wasn't worth the time to yelp it.
Thursday should be a pretty good night for going out, and when we got there, it was pretty packed. They must have some kind of senior discount/early bird special, or a casino bus broke down out side, because for a sports bar, there were a lot of geriatrics chowing down. We checked the sign again to make sure we hadn't accidentally wondered in to a Luby's by mistake.
Service was fair. Not terrible wait times for order taking and drink delivery, but even with the place mostly full, I've seen better. I will add that I REALLY wanted that beer, so any wait was hard to bear.
Food: Meh. Kevin had the Black and Blue burger, which he said was good - I didn't try it but it looked like they just dumped some blue cheese dressing on top of a regular burger.
I had the "Prime Time" prime rib sandwich. It said as jus and horseradish, which I was super excited about.
When my sandwich came, I thought they brought me a Philly cheese-steak by accident. The good thing is, the meat was kept nice and warm by the thick layer of melted plastic cheese over the top.
I eagerly scanned my plate for the as jus - the WHOLE reason I ordered it, and GASP! It was not there! Had some nefarious person stolen my dipping juice? After about 5 minutes, I was able to flag down our server (who was not who brought the food out) and ask about it. Apparently, C&W Sticks the As jus INSIDE the sandwich for you.
This simultaneously deprived me of the joy of dipping, and made my sandwich soggy. They did bring me a side of the as jus, which was fair at best. Also, I had to really search for the horseradish, it was like they just waved the sandwich near it, rather than put any on it directly.....or maybe the as jus washed it away as they soggified the bun? Who knows.
What I do know is that I was really underwhelmed with everything, the prices, the meal, the service. I'd much rather take my money across the street to San Tan or Murphy's Law then hang out in C&W again. The best thing in there were some neat framed jerseys, except I don't give a crap about sports.
