Sterling Cafe - Lincoln

This is my favorite place in town. At a time when prices rose from everything, they were affordable. The food is impressively delicious every time I have ever eaten there and a large menu that ensures there is something for everyone. Family owned an amazing staff 5 stars. If you're in Lincoln, you have to look at the morling cafe.

Something has changed, maybe new owners? We hadn 't been here in a while and today we were very disappointed with our service. The food was good but two tables seated after us were served before us and were almost finished by the time we got our food. At one point I needed a refill of water and I looked up at two young men one who was the drink server and the other who was making salads. They were chatting. I made eye contact with the salad guy and waved at him and held up my empty cup he looked straight at me and did nothing. No acknowledgment whatsoever. Didn 't let the other guy know that I needed something. The other young man finally turned around and came over. This was after the waitress had said she was going to bring a larger cup of water with more ice and she had never come back with that, although I noticed she found time to goof off and chat for a few minutes with someone in the kitchen. We had been waiting a while for our food and they tried to give us someone else 's food. Waitress was very confused and commented several times that our table number was on the ticket. As if we have something to do with that or maybe we were mistaken about what we ordered. When our food finally came (it was actually quite good, eggs were cooked nicely, potatoes were tasty, bacon was meaty) we commented that it had taken a long time and the waitress said Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I kept looking back there making eye contact with the boss and he didn 't like it What does that even mean? The boss (who was actually her dad also) doesn 't like it when you try to make sure food gets out in a timely manner? Kind of lame to blame the kitchen for everything instead of just apologizing. Which come to think of it, she never actually did apologize for how long it took. They definitely need to work on coordinating their efforts and improve their service. Most likely we will not be back.

This place was randomly found on a humbug. I didn?t do any research on them before I dined, like I normally do, but it still ended up being a nice place for breakfast. The size of the plates are very worthy of the prices. The freshly squeezed orange juice was very good, too. They have multiple T.V?s above the bar also.

First time eating here met a friend for lunch. Food was ok. The service needs improvement. Waitresses seemed distracted and unorganized. Took me to multiple places before finding a seat, left us waiting quite a while to order and didn't check back in after we got our food. Brought the check over right after we got our food. They had some family come in to visit as some of the waitresses are related, and sat right behind me having loud conversations and shouting to other patrons about an order they messed up. It was hard for my friend and I to visit during our meal.

Very big menu. The table service must be improved. The waiters who serve us were confused as our order was not complete. But we cost our meals.
