Making your way in the world today takes everything you got, which makes us want to go where everybody knows your name and are always glad you came. Agree? While Colorado is home to countless down-home and friendly restaurants, there is one, in particular, that has our heart, and that restaurant is the delicious J&L Cafe.

Located in Sterling, the J&L Cafe is a northeast Colorado institution that has proudly served the community since 1935.

Boasting a comfortable, no-frills dining room, J&L is the perfect place to dine-in, as the ambiance is clean and homey, and the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming.

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and J&L couldn’t agree more, hence their extensive early-morning menu that consists of everything from gigantic waffles and pancakes to hearty steak and eggs to mouthwatering burritos.

Did you sleep in too late for breakfast? No problem, as J&L goes all out on lunch and dinner, also, thanks to their giant sandwiches and burgers, fried chicken, soups, and salads.
