Found this place on trip advisor and wanted to try. It was real good. Barbecue sandwich was good and filling. Gluten free bun was very good. Wife had sea bass. Also good. Ate a gluten free baby cake for desert. Lots of chocolate. Very good. Would eat here often if we lived nearby.

Grown up with Daylight Donuts! Always a nice treat on a Saturday morning before garage sales. They fill long johns and bismarks. Have a nice selection of donuts. They also have frozen yogurt. Only bad thing is if you are too late in the morning the great donuts are gone! But still one of the best donuts I have ever had.

I'm a chocolate milkshake connoisseur, and in my opinion the two best chocolate shakes are from Dairy Queen and Chick-fil-A. We stopped in this location during a road trip. Our shakes were delivered to our table quickly and were typically delicious.

Though we didn't order from it, this DQ has a full hamburger menu. Other DQ's in Colorado don't have burgers, which is a shame because DQ burgers are good.

Reviewed By GeoChemProf - Brookings, South Dakota

We stay and Sterling and eat here on our anual trip west each fall. It's more of a tradition than because of the food. It's not bad, it's just not much different than you could get at a Perkins, etc. The staff have always been friendly though.

J & L Cafe

Great little locally owned restaurant.

Reviewed By Donna L - Rapid City, South Dakota

Great menu. They also serve breakfast all day. The corn on the cob was actually shucked just before it was cooked. Service was great. Not a fancy place. If you want just down home cooking. This is your place.

Village Inn on 4th St

Reviewed By meikant - Brisbane, Australia

We were on the way to North Platte and needed a meal. We shared a chicken on Brioche as we had seen the pies on entering the restaurant. We were not disappointed with the latter. The Caramel pecan silk surprise was yum and very cost effective. If you have a sweet tooth, happy to recommend the Village Inn if you need to break your journey!

When my husband & I were checking out the local restaurants, we were delighted to see they had a Santiago's! We've enjoyed Santiago's several times when visiting family closer to Denver. Their stuffed sopapilla with carnitas & beans is to die for! They allow you to adjust the heat of the delicious green chili they smother it with, ranging from mild to hot. We get this as takeout at least once a week because it's just that good!
We've only eaten-in once.
Everyone has raved about their breakfast burritos, but I've yet to try them.
My only negative comment is regarding the chips & salsa: skip them, they're just not very tasty. Which is odd because in my experience, the chips and salsa are a good gauge for whether a Mexican restaurant will be any good or not. Not so with Santiago's! Their green chili is their specialty, not their chips and salsa.
