    This is an amazing family restaurant with excellent food and outstanding service…read more I was staying in a nearby hotel and craving Mexican food. I found this local family restaurant and had an excellent experience. I walked in and placed an order for carry out so I could take it back to my hotel. I ordered cheese enchiladas, bean dip, chips and salsa. While I was waiting for my food to be prepared I had a chance to look around the dining area. The interior decor is eclectic. Very unique collection of items on display. Service was super friendly. I could tell the employees genuinely cared about their customers. My food was ready quickly, and everything I had ordered was excellent. The chips were phenomenal, house made, crispy and delicious. Salsa was fresh and tasty. The rice was savory and beans were a good texture and flavorful. Enchiladas were very tasty. The menu is extensive with many unique entrées I will plan to return the next time I'm in the area .

I bet he watches a lot of Billy Crystal movies. Food came with homemade salsa and chips appetizer (in store dining) which paired well with the good food. He even brought us a free cup of soup because we were new. We were dining with someone who is celiac, and glad they were able to discuss menu and accommodate and make gluten-free meal without celiac diner getting sick later (which other restaurants refused outright). Ambience is a family restaurant. We will return for the cozy sit down family experience. Please note they are open Monday through Saturday, and closed on Sunday and Monday.

    Had some pretty great Thai food in Rock Falls. It was great when comparing it to other places…read morearound here. Touch Of Thai II is one of the area's few ethnic restaurants. A lot of great choices at lunch. You get better prices for the quality and quantity. Chill place because it was actually empty. It's more popular for takeout orders. The best things to get are the lunch specials. A lot better value than anything else. There's also a fairly small cocktail menu. It's about $8 for a basic cocktail. This has more availability when it gets later. Basically we came for the food. It's about $12 for the Lunch Special. A lot of great options to choose among. She had the Green Curry. This comes with bamboo shoots, basil, bell peppers, and mushrooms. I got the Spicy Basil Leaves. This comes with basil, bell peppers, green beans, and onions. Comes with steamed rice and choice of appetizer. There's also a protein choice and we got tofu. Had an herby and spicy flavor. There's also curries and noodles among the other specials. Great flavor and there's a spiciness to it. It's closed Mondays. There's plenty of things for vegetarians.

    Stopped here on our way home as a "random" stop. It looks like a hole in the wall Thai place from…read moreoutside but if you're looking for a low key, great food place you're in the right spot. Will come back if we are ever on this stretch of highway. Service isn't fast but is on point. Food is your typical Thai / Sushi menu but surprisingly and deliciously perfect. Atmosphere is chill small town bar. If you're good with that you are in the right place.

    Maple Pancake House - Relaxed atmosphere the doors like to slam though I think they need to put some cushions on them so they don't slam so hard.

    The place gets very busy on a Sunday morning. Lots of folks waiting inside and outside, blocking…read morethe restrooms, the entrances and holding the doors open. It gets uncomfortably warm inside, especially by the doors. Lots of people mean the wait staff have to navigate and at two times during our meal they had to have one of my family members get up from their seat to allow someone to pass. They really need to properly accommodate the people having to wait to be seated. That's my one star deduction. That said, the food is good. The wait staff are very attentive. And it is my family's favorite breakfast place in Sterling. I have not been during the week but have to assume it's much less crowded. Enjoy!

    Came here on a Saturday morning after dropping my brother off at a run. Had 3 swedish pancakes,…read moresausage links and hash browns. Pros: + Service and the operation was incredibly efficient for being in a busy breakfast rush. + The swedish pancakes were some of the best I've had in recent memory. Very fresh and stayed hot until finished. That's not very common for this dish. + Ample space in the parking lot. Establishment itself seemed well kept. + Very cost effective price wise. Cons: - While not bad, I've had better in both the hash browns and especially sausage links. This is a nit pick however and not a true problem. - Like many establishments of its kind, I wonder if the menu is too extensive. While not directly proven, it does create questions of quantity over quality dish to dish. Side note: -The restroom had a strange scent that reminded me of a bait and tackle ship right after one gets down after cleaning fish. Just an odd observation. Bottom line: If I was a local this would easily be a regular stop. the busy breakfast turnout is well deserved. Maple Pancake House completely nails classi American morning diner. A great place
