Rikki is the best ever she needs like a 5 dollar an hour raise because she’s so good. Kylee seems new but a good hire
Been coming here a little bit now since the rebrand from Gazi's to now Ana's Cafe. My first visit i started with some basic that all restaurants/diners should do: chicken tenders and fries. Compared to the other places in town and in Sterling.....this is some good chicken tenders 😋 The way the plate was also presented was cute different.....they had my fries inside a mini fryer holder as if it came straight from the fryer. Presentation is everything. I liked it. The soup here is pretty amazing as well. And let me tell you, I didn't want to just come for lunch......so I came for breakfast a few times as well. You can't go wrong with the breakfast menu and the Lumberjack is worth it. You get so much food for the price. You will leave stuffed and happy. The waitresses and hosts are kind and friendly and not stuck up, stubborn, or give off the vibes of being shady. The good environment here is always positive. I even started bringing my dad here and he also enjoys coming here now. I can definitely come here and count on great food, service, and friendly kind faces.
Deep fried American fries if you didn't know, now you do they have them, not just hash browns 😍 get it with gravy for that really good flavor.
Kylee And Rikki are the BEST Workers at Ana’s, Let alone any restaurant in rock falls & sterling. Fantastic work by them, I advise you try Ana’s Cafe and be served by them two!
Great food honestly is very well cooked and tastes delicious 😋. However I dont appreciate being yelled at from across the restaurant mid conversation with my wife by my waitress asking if I need more coffee.
Found this restaurant on my way back from a supplier visit in Iowa. Didn’t have high expectations due to location and decor. However, I was blown away by the food taste, cost and waiting staff. For a price under 8:00, I get 3 eggs, hash browns and a thick pork chop. My co-work had the pasta which include salad bar and soup bar for under 9.00. Staff is friendly and service was fast. Will come back again
LOVE THIS PLACE. Nikki, Tammy and Nete were amazing! Very kind and love to serve. (I got the Chicken Ceasar wrap. It’s the bomb)
Had a great breakfast at Ana’s Café in Rock Falls! The food was fresh, hot, and exactly what you want to start your day. Amber took amazing care of us—super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers. We’ll definitely be back!
Tried Ana’s cafe the other day for the first time, the food was really good! Tried lunch this time and will be definitely coming back for breakfast. Amber was our server and she was very kind and recommended some great meals to us. I tried a chicken sandwich and it was delicious.
