7 Best American Restaurants in Sterling

“Do not ignore the Sterling exit on your way in or out of Colorado on I76. This establishment is a must stop. The beer was exceptional. Kolsch was crisp and smooth. The food was better than any brewery I’ve visited. (And I have visited my share!). The pork chops were incredibly delicious…the whole meal was exceptional. Great price point. Meghan took great care of us!“

“Some of the most delicious food you will ever have! The service is always very friendly, as well. The local restaurant atmosphere makes you feel like you will truly leave as a friend. Love this place!“

“A very large party of us went after a theater production and arrived a little after 10 pm on Saturday the 19. Even though I know it was overwhelming and late, the staff were gracious and kind and handled it well. Thank you for the service, food, and place to celebrate!“

“Great spot, love the food. I always have a great experience“

“We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Sam & Louie’s, and I can’t recommend them enough! From the start, the planning process was incredibly smooth—super easy and stress-free. Their team was very communicative and responsive, which made coordinating everything a breeze. The private event room was perfect for our group—spacious, comfortable, and just the right atmosphere for a special gathering. On the day of the event, the staff was absolutely wonderful: so friendly, attentive, and welcoming to all our guests. And of course, the food was delicious—everyone raved about it! We’re so glad we chose Sam & Louie’s for such an important occasion.“

“The food here was fantastic! I ordered coconut shrimp and my girlfriend got the mushroom Swiss burger both were delicious! I had an odd request for the kitchen staff see they had calamari (squid) as an item to order... Being a food fan and always wanting to try new things I asked about the calamari. Few minutes later our waiter (waitress, wonderful young lady) gave us, me, a plate of 3 fried calamari and OMFG, first time trying it, I fell in love. Definitely getting a whole order next time! The restaurant itself was pretty laid back, plenty of space, quiet, yet loud enough, music playing, people eating and drinking relaxed, great place to chill. Some menu items were quite high, but for the food and amount, 100% worth it.“
