    Blueberry Pancakes
    Caroline B.

    Kekes is just the best. I love it here. My friend and I came here this morning and it was such great service and such great food. I love that there's basically every single breakfast option on the menu. I got scrambled eggs with cheese and a side, pancake and sausage. The perfect portion sizes for not too much of a price either. What a great way to start off my morning!

    We went Sunday after church and had to wait 20-30 mins as expected. The hostess began telling people that the wait for a table would be over 30 mins and then after ordering there would be about a 45 min wait for your food. Our service was decent and the restaurant is very clean. The pancakes were hard on the bottom. The bacon was decent. The eggs were not good at all. Difficult to cut and very dry and hard. The Caesar wrap was pretty good and the onion rings were probably the best thing we ordered. We think there are better breakfast/brunch options in Gainesville.

    Excellent potatoes
    VortexMama A.

    Yes a solid 3! On par with Dennys with prices and flavor. Potatoes next to the pancakes, crispy edges, done well. I would go again. Its upscale Dennys. Its not as favorful as FIRST WATCH, it was still $20 per person, so not cheap. Nicer vibe. Great date spot, we went 8am on weekend. Stop by, give it a try! Good service, attentive. Beat the lines and go early!

    Chicken & Waffles
    Maïkha J.

    I'm not sure what all the hype was about this place. My family and I did not enjoy our food. It was packed on a Saturday and the service was fine. Lots of birthdays being celebrated so kitchen was a bit slow but understandable. I had the egg whites with turkey sausage and the eggs were so oily. The home fries my cousin and aunt had were not crispy. Cousin had the pumpkin spice stuffed waffles which didn't really taste like pumpkin. My sister did like her chicken and waffles but her fresh fruit cup had unripe strawberries.

    Great place, great food and great service . Everything felt fresh and well balanced. The pancake was not too sweet and the fruits, eggs and bacons were in the right spot. The place was super clean, the music was cool and the servants were super friendly. I recommend asking for the kids menu to color it is pretty fun.

    Scramble Bowl
    Hayli Z.

    I got the scramble bowl with spinach, tomato and mushroom and rye bread..I got it to go and it was a really big portion. It was pretty busy inside the restaurant so I'm glad I got it to go since I'm not sure how long the wait would be. It was a little spicy but other than that was really good and very filling.

    Western omelette
    Tim J.

    Checked out this place this weekend after workout. Luckily, we just missed the busy time and got seated immediately. The servers were very attentive and refilled our coffee almost every 5-10minutes. We got western omelette, egg's benedict, and florida waffle, which are big in portion. Tasted like classic American brunch. We enjoyed all the foods that came out. Recommend checking this place out when you crave classic american brunch :)

    western omelet.

    Overview: 5/5 First time to this place and I have to say I totally enjoyed it. Ambiance : 5/5 Nicely decorated with a modern upscale cafe / diner feel. Plenty of parking as this location. Inside booths are mostly 2 and 4 seaters. Food/Drink 5/5 I ordered a Greek omelet with fruit. It was delicious. My wife got the western omelet which was equally as good. Service : 5/5 Our waitress Caylea was pleasant, attentive and got our orders right the first time. It was quite busy and she was juggling a number of tables. Conclusion : We will be back! It's a bit out of our way but we will stop in here if we are in the neighborhood. Next time I would try a waffle or a stack of pancakes.

    Banana nut caramel stuffed french toast. Meh!
    Rose O.

    It hurts to give this cafe 3 stars because I could see how hard the staff was working to make our experience great! Sadly, other than coffee, nothing else we tried was good. Especially for the price! I tried banana nut caramel stuffed french toast, which I read good reviews about, but it's just a fancy name. Basically, it is a toast placed on a flat top (not a drop of custard absored), then filled with banana and cream cheese. I also tried three meat omlete, mediocore! Not much to say. We went for sunday brunch, and there was a line. Wait time was 25 minutes.

    *chef's kiss* now that's a waffle

Our server was very nice and she answered all of our questions, of which we had many! We were able to sit outside on a nice spring morning before it got too hot. It wasn't the greatest since it's near the main road but they do have a lot of greenery up so you can't see it but you do hear it. I would love to have another one of those sandwiches again!

    Last minute breakfast decision and wow I am so pleased that we decided on the Metro Diner!…read more As soon as we pulled up I had a good feeling about this place and I'll be honest coming from New York I miss my diners! Needless to say this the Metro diner truly surpassed my expectations. We walked in and were greeted immediately and asked if we would like to sit outside which is a covered area or indoors. We chose inside given it being a hot humid day and wanting that extra comfort. The vibe felt amazing with all the smiles and yes even though busy all the wait staff was hopping doing their business! We were seated and told about the specials and given the menu. I was unsure what I wanted because I think I could have eaten a little bit of everything! I did ask the waitress a couple of suggestions and one of them was the pancakes I had chosen. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day! How cool is that and rare. They had a chicken and waffle special that was actually half a chicken ( pieces ) fried with Belgium waffles, powdered sugar and sweet strawberry butter served with their signature sweet and spicy sauce. I'll be honest when I had seen someone else get their plate I was surprised. It looked absolutely incredible and well tremendous. On their specials they had banana pudding pancakes or waffles, this also sounded amazing. It had walnuts, butter and powdered sugar and definitely banana. I am most certainly glad that I chose this as it was incredibly. Super fluffy, flavorful and the banana was not overwhelming there was a perfect balance of flavors. There was a sauce on them that I assume was the banana pudding. It was light and just enough to not overpower the pancake itself. We had also ordered croissant French toast and my son absolutely loved them. They were crispy on the outside yet fluffy and flavorful with a fantastic texture topped with some powdered sugar. Some ordered hash browns, these were also delicious and homemade with a great texture and the portion like all the other dishes pretty large. We had all tried the biscuits and gravy. These too were delicious with such a nice balance of flavors. The biscuits indeed homemade. We were all very pleased with everything. Some eggs over easy and bacon cooked perfectly. The coffee honestly the best I've had in years. I'm a coffee drinker and I cannot figure this coffee was outstanding! I had four cups and wish for more ha ha. Best of all I must compliment the service. I have not been to a restaurant of any sort with such attentive service, quality service as we received here in years. The waitress kept refilling my coffee and water, brought my son more soda ( even a container to take his home ) asked everyone if they needed anything at appropriate times and was extremely kind and considerate. I will be back and I highly recommend the Metro Diner for a great meal, quality service and relaxed environment that you will enjoy.

I went to the Luke's Bagels location under the Standard this past week and was disappointed. I hadn't been here in a little bit, especially since Bagels & Co. just opened down the street. But I was craving a Luke's Bagels, so I got there around 8:30, when they opened ready to order. Unfortunately, no one was at the counter when I came in. Someone popped out from the back to take my order a little while's later though. Their bagel selection was extremely limited, more so than usual. They didn't have poppy seed or sesame seed bagels. This was surprising, as I thought this location was sent fresh bagels each morning, I guess not. Luckily, I was able to order a bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted Asiago, along with a toasted plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese. This took roughly 15 minutes to come out, which was longer than I expected. Upon delving into my bagels, I noticed a couple things that were different from my previous visits last semester. The bagels were definitely smaller, had less cream cheese, and didn't taste as fresh. The BEC had ample amounts of American cheese and the eggs were good, but there was barely any bacon! There was MAYBE two meager pieces on the bagel, I didn't even get bacon in most of my bites. The Asiago bagel still had a decent taste, with a nice sharp Asiago. But it just wasn't very fresh tasting like they've been in the past. The texture wasn't awful, but it wasn't what it used to be. The plain bagel with cream cheese was lackluster. The plain bagel was just fine, as it too was not very fresh. The strawberry cream cheese was decent and not too sweet, which I appreciate. I also like that their cream cheeses have more of whipped texture to them. But there certainly wasn't as much cream cheese on this bagel as I've received in the past! Overall, I was not very pleased with my experience here. The bagels were not fresh at all, the sandwich was lacking bacon, and I just thought the quality appeared be lower. Maybe I came on an off day, but the bagels were not fresh and the assortment they had available was very limited. The texture of the bagels still has a softer center, with a chewy outside , but the outside was too chewy and hard. The size and portions were decreased as well. The BEC had too much cheap, American cheese, and lacked bacon. The plain bagel with cream cheese didn't have much smear on it. For being about $19 for two bagels, not worth it. This makes me sad as I used to love Luke's, but this was not a good visit. I hope next time I come here it is better!
