J & L Cafe

Really good food; huge menu. We had a breakfast burrito and a philly southwestern sandwich. The sandwich was slightly better. Really busy - weekday lunch.

Best fried chicken, even than anybody in Denver. As a matter of fact Im going tomorrow to Iowa and I'm looking forward to stop there and enjoy me a few pieces. Service is also great!

UPDATE: 4-23-2023

For almost $16.00 the chicken fried steak apparently comes in 2 sizes...Full size and senior size....thumb through the pics, you'll find what they use to look like...THIS IS THE FULL SIZE.... This is not how it used to be. I also want to note my CFS was undercooked to the point of it being bloody...NAW, I WONT BE BACK....

Yummy home style food, nothing fancy, but delicious and tummy filling! Staff was pleasant and friendly. May be moving to area, hopefully, and this will be a regular place to visit if we do!!!

Breakfast was delicious 🥘 and friendly service 👍thank you.

One of the best places to eat in Sterling, to say nothing of it’s status as a Sterling landmark. Delicious down home fare, prompt and warm service and a clean and homey atmosphere always leave me feeling relaxed and better when I leave. My favorited are the biscuits and gravy for breakfast and the pot roast french dip sandwich for supper!

Keep up the exceptional work, J & L!!!

Near little Cafe with a great menu, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. There's a reason they are always busy! Have a nice senior menu too

Great food at great prices. Everyone was very nice.

WORST customer service EVER! the service was terrible, the food was ok. Our waitress had an attitude problem and was rude. NOT worth the trip!

Great place for breakfast. Delicious food and gracious service. It is 10 times better than Denny's and Ihop, and it's also great way to support a local family owned business. I had the 5 egg ultimate omelette, comes with potato hash and 3 pancakes- all that for just $10! The coffee could be a little stronger for my taste.
