The food is great! The decor is very cool and the service is fantastic & friendly! I would recommend a lunch or dinner here to anyone.

We come here every time we are in Sterling! Sometimes making excuses to go tbh as it’s an hour away from us. But the food is so good! It’s all homemade and worth the drive! Other reviews about service must’ve forgotten we are in a post Covid world and IL was one of the most impacted states in regards to restaurants. Not to mention everyone is short staffed because no one wants to work anymore. Gotta remember that when you complain about wait times etc!

Great food! Love the twice baked potatoes Our waitress was nice. friendly and informative. We were in town visiting and came here. What a huge place. We will definitely come back. Very western. Great food. One thing is they need more waitresses.

Very friendly wait staff. The country fried steak was house made, not from a box. They also make their own breaded pork tenderloins. Others really enjoyed their prime rib. Lots of seating. Very clean.

This was our first time here. Formerly Wagon Wheel now Primo's. They had ayc eat cod fish (didn't know) and it was very good. The salad bar was average but fresh. The server was very pleasant. This would be a great place for a large gathering. We will be going again.
