Coaches has been a local staple for us since we moved to the area 2 years ago! Super community oriented. We’ve gone to their Bark N Brew BBQ event in the summer and always love stopping by on Thursdays for wings and bingo:) The wings are the best. We always feel welcomed with our 1yr old son. The food/drinks have always been great. Love our servers Amanda and Sami, they’re super efficient. Grateful we have this place so close to home.
Thank you for being our favorite local restaurant!

Excellent service. The egg rolls were better than I expected. It can get loud in there especially on a Friday. Decent place for a quick bite or even just to hang out.

This place is phenomenal!! The eggrolls with the Thai sauce and the Burnt Ends basket are a must! Every dish we have ordered exceeds the next! Fabulous Mai tai and Buffalo Trace old fashioned. Can’t say enough about this gem of a restaurant!

So I like to write honest and trustworthy reviews, with the only potential biases being clearly stated at the beginning of the review, if there is to be any! With that said, I will admit I have a soft spot for this place because of their persistent effort to host weekly open mics (thanks to the country music artist Lola Blu) and the opportunity that it gives local musicians a chance to play out. Even without the open mic though, this place deserves any acknowledgement I give it here regardless, just because it’s what it is. Now, with that said.. Coaches Corner is a great ‘bar & grill’, I believe is the correct term, being that they offer cooked-to-order food and craft beverages there. Located at 622 S. State St., Belvidere, IL 61008. Coaches Corner is an ideal place for an outing. Whether it’s for a few(or more) cold drinks, or a tasty meal, or to watch the game(s) or play a game(A&E slots) or darts or pinball(& a crane machine with stuffies), there is plenty to do there. On the flip side, if you’re just really needing a clean and safe, family-friendly environment away from the noise and bar scene, then there are booths available in there own section with a couple TV sets on standby for use(if desired) in a sit-down restaurant style setting with carpeted floors and sliding wood doors in tandem with a wall separating from the bar area. It’s located strait ahead from the main entrance in the building. Bar and seating area with the A&E gaming section located back-center in the bar area(which is to the right when you walk in the main entrance) and a dart station(open mic area on Tuesday evenings after 6pm and scheduled performers on Saturdays) located the left of that. There are pinball machines (4) a single player air-hockey game and a crane machine all located directly left when walking in the entrance(and to the right if your on the way out the main entrance)Lastly for services, Coaches Corner has a conference room big enough to host private parties, political discussions and meetings, fundraisers, BINGO and corporate lunches. Oh, and it’s own mini bar area and in-house catering service(with it’s own kitchen separated by metal ‘kitchen style’ push doors) for any event(birthday parties?), with TV’s and even a pull down projector screen if need be(power point presentation/ home videos/in memory of, ECT)! Restrooms(located to the left of entrance {walking in} past the pinball machines) are modern looking, spacious, well lit and clean-kept. Even has one of those little straw baskets with restroom amenities(sanitizer wipes and cologne spray) available. Also, it includes a diaper changing area, in-stall and that’s just for the guy’s restroom! So you can only imagine how nice the women’s restroom may be! Don’t ask me though lol, don’t care to know on that 1! Lastly, the parking lot is a good size for the establishment. More than enough parking space for most day and nights and for particularly busy days or outdoor parking lot parties/events(raffles)/concerts, there is a big ol’ municipal parking lot right across the street, plus some designated curbside parking, street-side(State St.). So, there you have it! My most descriptive review yet and I really do mean what I say about the service here: excellent! Great ownership, paired with good management, paired with diligent workers and friendly, customer oriented staff in conjunction with a clean and eventful, modern environment with good products (food and drink and {outsourced}cheesecake!) and lastly, live music no doubt(the only spot in all of Belvidere doing an open-mic night, not just weekly, but period!)! You can’t go wrong! Put me in Coach! 😉

This is our second visit to Coach’s Corner. We are not from the area but had come here previously after an away hockey game. We were in the area for another game and were all starving after the game. My husband remembered we had stopped here before and it was good. Once again, it didn’t disappoint. I had the Blue Thunder burger. It was delicious. Their coated fries are crisp and yummy too. Hubby had the Mac with Nashville hot chicken. He loved it. And our daughter had the regular home made Mac and loved hers. The service was good. The food came out in good time. The place is comfortable and well kept with clean bathrooms. We will definitely make another stop when in the area again.

Buffalo wings were really good. Would definitely get those again. The burger and service were just alright. The meat seemed a little bland/dry. Also I had to get up and grab ketchup from another table for my fries because the waitress took a while to come back to see if we needed anything else. Other than those two things it wasn’t a bad experience.

Went in Sunday night for a bite to eat, bartender/waitress was very short. She kept cutting us off every time we tried to talk or ask about something. Food was delicious. Service, not so great.

Well it’s a year later & That K.C. burger still hits the spot. I feel obligated to add more photos of the excellent food they have though….
