Mom's Diner

Ahoy, fellow breakfast aficionados! If you're ever cruising through Sterling, IL, and you don't swing by 'Moms Diner', then, my friend, you're committing a culinary crime.

Right from the entrance, the atmosphere says "home," but the real magic happens when you're greeted by the legendary Meagan. It's almost as if she had a sixth sense; she anticipated our needs before we even realized them! During the Saturday breakfast blitz, she juggled tasks with the finesse of a Cirque du Soleil performer.

My partner in dine, Marcy (see what I did there?) and I opted for the eggs Benedict – a classic move in a classic diner. Though they took a bit to arrive (attributing it to their red-carpet-worthy entrance), it was well worth the wait.

In conclusion, 'Moms Diner' is culinary gem of Sterling, IL. Good food, warm ambiance, and a waitress possibly trained by ninjas? What more can you ask for? We're coming back, and next time, I'll be ready to unveil Meagan's superhero alter ego!

Great service which was unexpected being how busy it was. I got the crunchy French toast (Moms French Toast), OMG. So good. As Arnie says, I'll be back.

Moms has THE BEST food hands down in sterling! The breakfast potatos are my favorite, but the soup and chicken are fantastic, the service is amazing and friendly. We have been going here for years now. I adore the main waitress with the blonde hair is absolutely stellar and has always been so sweet to us and especially my daughter! Thank you moms for giving us a wonderful experience every time!

We love coming here. The food is very delicious and they give you large portions. Affordable. The waitresses are very good. Friendly, fast, and accurate. Breakfast or lunch. Great!

Hands down the best breakfast around. We love coming here. The food is always delicious and the staff are very kind and attentive.

1st time here, glad we stopped.Food was fresh. Excellent food and service. This is now my husband's favorite spot, if you haven't been here make sure you stop!!

This place serves an excellent breakfast. I'm from out of town but working nearby. I would definitely come back.

Mom's Diner never disappoints ! From the breakfast menu to their soups and sandwiches, it is all delicious. Their service is wonderful and delivered with a smile. The environment is so nice and presents in a true diner vibe ! My son was visiting from the East Coast over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it was a hit amongst all ! Highly recommended as a favorite local spot !

I love this place! Great food and even better service! Will definitely be on my rotation of diners I frequent in the area!

Delicious food & very nice people!! My kids loved their chocolate chip Mickey Mouse pancakes. I got the 3 stacks of pancakes & they are the best pancakes I've ever had. My husband had the chicken ranch wrap & he said it was the best. Definitely coming back. Thank you!

Love this place! Reminds me of growing up. GREAT breakfast, friendly wait staff, spacious, and homey.

I had Mom's French Toast...with banana whip cream...I t was the Bomb!!!! Cooked in corn flakes and cinnamon was the Best I had ever had!!!_ Thank you so much....

Prompt, friendly service, tasty food. Will come back when in Sterling.
Remember, folks, Illinois is a "tipped minimum wage" state, so please make sure your server can afford to eat after serving the public all day.

The perfect Big Bird skillet, hash browns, and pancake! My favorite meal here!

Best french toast in the area, in my opinion. I LOVE the Mom's french toast!

A Sunday morning regular breakfast stop. Everything's freshly prepared. Staff recognizes the regular patrons.
