Mixed reviews:
Beautiful location. Music was loud classic rock (with lots of guitar solos) — not good conversation music.
Service was friendly, but it was super slow. (15 minutes waiting to take order, another 30 minutes for food with few check backs).
Some of the food was really good, but most was par or below and not worth the cost. Fries were cold and chewy (had to ask for new ones – which were good when fresh), chicken salad good, brisket for salad had giant chunks of fat, horseradish sauce on the brisket pizza didn’t work for us, portion size on Asian stir fry was small and the tofu was cooked to a jerky like texture.
We were there for a Saturday lunch.
We’ll be back to try again and I’ll be sure to update.

What a beautiful building inside and out. The food was amazing and priced right. We had the owner as our server and he was a very affable professional guy! There was a small mistake in our order and he made it right and let me keep the extra food that I hadn’t ordered for no extra cost. I also appreciated how they had alot of historical photos in one of the hallways leading to the restrooms that showed the building and local area history. I can’t find a fault in the place.

The calamari was excellent!! The wings were very good. The Flatbread was not as good. We did take it home but I’m not sure if my friend finished it. Something was missing.
The atmosphere and the house wine were nice.

Simply the best. Wonderful atmosphere great staff live music on occasion and the wife stated the best salad she has ever had. Now that’s saying something. Large portions and local brews. The flavors in ther food and the homage dessert make sterling’s a place worth traveling to experience. Grand stay hotel take 16 brewery a nnn CD sterlings for the best night away in southern MN.

We got the butternut squash ravioli with shrimp and the chicken breast. The food was well seasoned and made very well. The wait was not long and the servers are friendly. Atmosphere is very nice, like a diner.
Also they have good fries

Great food, unique menu, classy yet casual atmosphere, and experienced service with adequate prices. We reminisced over dinner celebrating our fifteenth anniversary and appreciated our perfect choice of restaurants for this venue.
I must mention that they have the best fries I’ve ever had: Maybe blanched? then fried in really hot, clean oil which gives each fry a light, crystallized, crispy coating to savor before the warm and tender potato center melts in my mouth.
We’ve already decided to revisit on the next birthday even before I won a $10 gift card for my evaluation of an awesome medium rare California Burger that included egg and fried avocado in a smooth, toasted, warm, and fresh bun. They also had quick refills on great coffee. Excellent place!!

Sterling’s Cafe & Grill offers an extensive menu, good service and a groovy setting. Their stone building stands across the street from Luverne’s famous Palace Theater. You can’t miss it. There is a sidewalk patio out front but it was hot on our last visit so we sat inside. Our group tried the Southwest Breaded Avocado wraps and everyone was happy with their choices. No one wanted to share! The special I ordered (KC Melt) was recommended by our server. I asked for their honey balsamic coleslaw as my side and found it to be very good. Next time you travel west or east on I-90 take a break in Luverne at Sterling’s Cafe & Grill. Turn north at the US 75 exit and then east on Main St.
