“2025-02-22 husband and I decided to check this place out because we were in inver grove heights and I love broasted chicken. Chicken tasted fresh and juicy. Scalloped potatoes were not my favorite but the has browns my husband had were good. Was a good stop, definitely want to go back to try the hamburgers.”

“Simply put, I was served the wrong food. I can’t rate an establishment 5 stars when I’m served the wrong food. I ordered a top of the line Swanee Burger that put the House of Coates on the map with bacon, fried onions, and american cheese. What I got was a Mushroom and Swiss. Everything else went the way it should. No service fee here.”
