The food was very good here. The weird thing is we had an older woman as our waitress and we switched to having a different waitress and it seems like the older waitress had an attitude problem. I said excuse me while walking by her and she was kind of rude and looked at me weird Food was good just her behavior was strange .

Hot beef sandwich was great. Service was a little slow because the waitress was by herself.

I only took 3 bites out of my burger. The meat tasted old. My husband had a hamburger steak and got food poisoning.

Went to this place because I saw it was highly rated. It DID NOT disappoint! This place is excellent. Definitely would recommend going here. The staff were friendly and helpful, the service was quick, and the food WAS DELICIOUS.This was my first time here but they helped me with the menu. I had the Badger Burger deluxe. It was pretty good. It has a half pound patty and comes with lettuce and tomato.The atmosphere was great. The theme of the place was nice. I also thought it was great because I didn’t get cold while I was there. Some restaurants make it unbearably cold to try to get people out, but this place didn’t.Overall, a great experience. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Valentine. If you are in Valentine, check this place out.

I understand that it was a Friday evening & a large party came in before us, which is why it took 15 min. to take our order but 2 of our orders had salads, one was delivered & after 10 min. of finally getting someone attention the other one was delivered.After waiting over a half hour for our order, with all staff avoiding eye contact with us (we were seated in the middle of the restaurant) & several tables that came in after us had their meals & some of them had already left I had to get up & go to the waitress to ask about our order, at which time she first blamed on the large party & them blamed on one of our orders being pork chops.Since we had been there nearly an hour & one person in our party being diabetic & needing to eat we decided to leave.Went to the Peppermill, was seated right away & had our food within 10 minutes & they were busy. Very good service, very good food.

I got the deluxe cheeseburger with a side of sweet potato fries, and HOLY SMOKES! The absolute best fries I've ever had, and I've had them from several places. Cooked just right with a sweet side of I'm not sure but you could eat the fries straight. The burger juicy and perfectly cooked. I don't know what they do in that kitchen but it's all done right.
I always enjoy Coachlight. The food and service are excellent. The whole experience is reminiscent of the late 60s/early 70s when our family would dine out. Easy and carefree!

We tried three different burgers (Western, Coachlight and Peanut Butter Badger) and they were all tasty. The PB Badger was a big burger. The service was the standout. Our server was very attentive and she gave great food recommendations. The restaurant is outdated but nothing out of the ordinary for a small town place. Could use a makeover.
