Review: The Royal Coachman Waterdown Ontario
Food: 4 stars, Service: 5 stars, Washrooms: 4 stars- Over All Great Time: 5 stars!
If you are looking for good “Pub” fare mixed with great service , reasonable prices and a relaxed atmosphere I suggest you try “The Royal Coachman” in Waterdown, Ontario.
Chef Glenn’s menu boasts of pub fare to prime rib. The waitresses are friendly and efficient.
They held a great St. Paddy’s day bash, to a full house, and as quick as a few guests left, more streamed in the door, both the chef and the waitresses (while I am sure were handling many unseen issues), did not show the least bit of upset as plates came out to the tables in record time. They hustled from table to table offering smiles and cheerful hellos.
Not that anyone would have noticed a wait time with the live tunes of David Leak who kept the crowd happy, from Celtic to a few modern songs thrown in for good measure. There were festive green hats, lays and a shamrock or two, green beads and green clothes, and of course green beer, the guests came out to party with style! It was a good time to be held by all, and if you missed it, you may want to check it next year,
Each night has dedicated specials, such as Monday night’s fish n’ chips and the regulars have committed the menu to memory, visiting on their favorite nights, often with the entire family.
Fridays are jammed full and it is recommended you call for a reservation or you could be waiting for awhile at the bar. This however is no real hardship, the bar is stocked and the bar-tenders are talented, funny with a wee bit of an accident- I will leave it up to you to guess from where.
The Royal Coachman is located at 1 Main Street North in Waterdown. 905-689-5952
