The Royal Coachman Pub - Hamilton, Ontario

We sat out on the patio. Very pleasant experience. Our server was great. Service with a smile all the way through. Will definitely return. Well worth the drive from Kitchener!

I like the place. Patio is excellent. Very clean. Looks a bit like a patio on a beach in Florida or on some sunny island. I stepped inside just to take a peek. It looked good inside as well. Food was hot, tasty. Beer was good, ... decent selection. Service seemed prompt and friendly. I think their pint sizes for some brands are smaller than the menu claims but otherwise everything else was up to par. I am up for another visit to see how they do 2nd time around. Read more

Totally enjoy this place. Visit frequently when in Waterdown each year to get an overdose of fish and chips. The best in town (and beyond)! Shame the Sausage and Mash option has gone..Love the patio and the pints! Am now back home in NC and experiencing withdrawal!

Old school pub atmosphere. Great selection of pub food. Service was well done. Fish and chips had a huge piece of fish. Tasted good. The chicken club on Marple rye was excellent and we would order it again. Overall a really good experience and would return again

Date of Visit: Sunday, March 3rd, 2024 (and Many other visits) If you have never been to the Royal Coachman, you really need to go. We visit quite often - in the area of once every 2 months. It is a favourite place for us because it is a convenient meeting place for ... us to enjoy dinner between Guelph and Hamilton, and the food is always on point. I have become addicted to one meal in particular - Their fried chicken sandwich. I have had fried chicken sandwiches in many places - pubs, shacks, better restaurants, food carts, etc. and hands down my favourite is the fried chicken sandwich at the Royal Coachman. They shove 2 huge pieces of fried chicken on a a bun, smother it in their hot honey sauce, toss on creamy coleslaw, and serve it with a huge mound of fries. The chicken is perfectly cooked, and while I rarely comment on coleslaw - they have found a way to make coleslaw noteworthy. I always ask for extra honey sauce because it is SOO good, and seriously - there is so much chicken - it needs (deserves) more. While the chicken sandwich is my go to menu item - let it be known that this is not the only amazing thing on the menu. I had the grilled chicken club sandwich on marble rye and it was so good. They load it up with greens, delicious aioli, and veg. The chicken is the Star - beautifully seasons, flavoured and cooked, but dont forget the 4 HUGE slabs of thick cut bacon that is on the sandwich as well. Their fish & chips are delightful - and fresh - and I highly recommend their Pot Pies. They offer a rotating option of Pot pies - sometimes curry, turkey, chicken, etc - and when you are there - ask the server about the pot pie flavour. The crust is flaky, delicious, and light. You will not be disappointed. they have a full bar - with a great selection of beers, and cocktails. in the summer - they have their outdoor patio - which is a beautiful oasis. The trees provide shade and coverage (even from rain - which we ate in a few times) The Patio is an extremely popular spot. The prices at the Royal Coachman are very reasonable - very affordable. The service is always impeccable - the servers are always friendly, pleasant, attentive, and helpful. Read more
