J & L Cafe

Great little spot for breakfast while we were traveling. Nice change from the fast food chain stops. Food was amazing and service was great too!

We stopped here on a whim, hoping to find a good meal. We were not disappointed! The atmosphere was so cool! An updated version of an old-time diner. The food was absolutely amazing and you definitely got your money's worth! If I'm ever traveling through Sterling again, I will make a point to visit again!

WOW I placed an order for pickup and was cheerfully greeted by two women working the front when I entered the cafe. It immediately felt like home. J&L has such a cute, dimly lit, decorative theme inside, and the overall atmosphere is delightfully cozy. The people could not be kinder, and the food was absolutely mind-blowing. They nailed the smothered burrito (the pork green chili is the kind that should be winning awards) and also make a wonderful selection of burgers.

My sister-in-law and I ordered biscuit and gravy. It didn't taste to bad but both dishes were cold. Would have been better if it was at least warm. I will return and give it another try. No problem!

Good food at a reasonable price friendly staff not a bad place too stop off for a bite

Sterling is a bit of a halfway point on our trips to Nebraska so we always stop for food here and decided to try J&L Cafe. We were not disappointed! I had the green chili burger and it was quite good. We'll be back next time we roll through town.

Fantastic cafe!! I came and got carry out to take to our room after a long day of travel. I was greeted by extremely warm and friendly staff and amazing smells. Great food included spaghetti, Mac n cheese, a haystack burger, patty melt, chicken fried steak, and a fish basket. Everyone loved the food. We topped it off sharing slices of apple and blueberry pie.
Definitely recommend if traveling through the area as I am sure all the locals visit frequently.

The green chile was excellent.

J&L Cafe has been around since I was a kid, so everytime I come to visit we make sure we stop in. The food has always been Outstanding and the prices are very reasonable. The menu has so much variety you can get just about anything. Hometown cooking at it's finest!

Nice at home atmosphere with friendly service and great food.
