Jolea Schwindt Long story short, my mom and I are on a road trip and met Raymond in Tillamook who said we should go to his restaurant and gave us a gift card. A couple weeks later, we made it to the Tri-Cities and swung by his restaurant and WOW did it feel so welcoming and like home. The service is amazing, Emily is the absolute best and has the best taste preferences! Shes a gem. Raymond himself is the nicest person you could ever run into and you will not be disappointed stopping by his restaurant for a classic Italian night. Great place, but even better people running it--what more can you ask for

Doug Durst Noah Lux was a phenom server. My wife asked, what he thought were the best items on the menu. He smiled and said, “any preferences or direction.” She said, “no”. He then smiled again and went through every section on the menu and named his favorites and why. Super personable, and actually cared. The ahi burger was to die for as was the double bacon burger. Oh, and the mango margarita. He was so good, I asked to speak to the manager, Jenn. She too was incredible. You’d crazy to eat anywhere else. Have fun… you will enjoy.

Kevin We went for breakfast at Sterling’s Famous Steak and Seafood in Richland, and it was a perfect way to start the day. We ordered the 5 oz ham steak with sunny-side-up eggs, crispy hashbrowns, whole wheat toast, and a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and the Belgian waffle with sausage and another large orange juice. Everything hit the mark, especially the hashbrowns, golden and crunchy, and the OJ, bright and pulpy like it was squeezed moments before. The waffle was fluffy with a crisp edge, perfect for soaking up syrup, and the sausage added a savory kick. Sterling’s sits right across from Howard Amon Park and right along the beautiful Columbia River, offering gorgeous views from the patio and big windows inside. The ambience is warm and inviting, with local artwork lining the walls, large TVs for sports fans, and a layout that feels both spacious and cozy. Service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. If you visit, don’t forget to tip generously, these folks work hard to keep the experience smooth and memorable. Sterling’s is a reliable spot for breakfast with heart, great for families, fans of classic American fare, and anyone who appreciates a good view with their meal. Update: Later that day, we returned for filet mignon, lobster tail, clam chowder, and a house salad, paired with an espresso martini and a cold Corona. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared, and the drinks were spot-on. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a relaxing dinner, or just a great view with your meal, Sterling’s is a must-stop in Richland. If you’re ever in the Richland area, Sterling’s Famous Steak and Seafood is an absolute must stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Michael Caton Very good meals, very flavorful. Good portion sizes and very light meals. Nice staff, just a great place to eat.

Alanna R We were in town just for the night and wanted breakfast before we left and took a chance on trying here. It is definitely a cute little local place. You can tell that this is one of those places where the staff get to know the regulars. We got seated fast, and ordered food fast. The coffee was good, better than other diner like places I have been. We ordered PB French toast, a biscuit, and fried chicken and waffle nachos. My husband said the French toast was delicious, the biscuit was good as well. You could tell it was made in house. The fried chicken and waffle nachos was really good, but it was enormous (not that that is necessarily a bad thing, I just wasnt expecting that) and it was really good. The staff was all really nice as well. Im glad that we stopped here and would definitely come back.

Veronica Gonzales The cake we ordered for our wedding was absolutely perfect just the way I expected it and the flavor were delicious we highly recommend frost me sweet they were amazing people to work with i sure will use them in the future.

El Padre 08/30- I decided to try the All you can eat wings, and it was the best! I walked in and I was greeted right away. I was told I could sit anywhere. I sat down then Ryan came to greet me. He was helping other people, but he was fast to take my order. Ryan was good with all of us. He kept my wings coming and my drink full. He makes the best Cherry Pepsi. I met the manager on duty and she was busing tables along her staff. I was impressed she was in the mix and not hiding in the back like most managers usually do. I am here for work, but Im making sure to come back. If you get a chance to come by make sure you ask for Ryan.

Shawn OHare Good spot. Had a burger and beer. Lots of options other then burgers too

Janet Yarbrough Amazing food, show, and atmosphere. We got to know new friends at our table, celebrate with them, and enjoy a family night out. Hubby and I shared chicken and steak for two with yakisoba noodles. It was enough for 3 or 4! The noodles were the bomb. Daughter had teriyaki chicken and loved it. 100% new favorite place in the TC.

Allese Berry Super good food. Very good service. I had the reuben and it was absolutely amazing. The fish and chips were great. My daughter had the burger for 2 and it lived up to its name. Would go again most definitely. Was clean and the food came out quickly. Very good experience.

Veronica Bontrager Rock was our server for our big family brunch today. He did an amazing job making sure all 17 of us were taken care of wonderfully. The food was delicious and got to us quickly, and the service was incredible. We were checked on just frequently enough to always have what we needed, but not feel bothered. I would highly recommend asking for Rock, and also grabbing a mimosa, while you’re at Sterling’s.

Queen Nikki This is my favorite place for steak in Tri-cities, we are very limited to good restaurants here. Budd’s is great, they have great service, consistent menus, and delicious food. My favorite steak is the filet or the ribeye and the best dessert is the melting lava cake, that’s what I call it, not sure what the exact name of it on the menu is…nor do I care…all I know is that it’s delicious. It does take 15 minutes to make so keep that in mind. I often order it to go if I’m not dining in and only want dessert, it’s so good! The one thing I was sad about was they got rid of the Brut champagne (my fav) and replaced it with another option that isn’t as dry, it’s good but not the brut. Love this place, highly recommend!!!!
