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!

Walking in, this place was bright and cheery with large windows and BEYOND helpful staff. We were seated and served quickly, which was incredible.

Believe me. They were absolutely exceptional. We STILL talk about our fabulous meal as well, as the cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and my burrito was stuffed full with a bunch of breakfast goodness. this is a MUST-STOP PLACE IN GALENA!!
