The food at this restaurant is great, from the huge pancakes to the sausages and scrambled eggs. The service was excellent too, our server Tori was on top of it. The ambiance was good , not too fancy , but kind of quiet and easy to talk to each other without shouting across the room. We will definitely be back, great place. read more

My husband and I are visiting here and wanted a trendy breakfast place that was on the healthier side and wouldn't break the bank- this is the one!! Very tasty, trendy, inexpensive, and on the healthier side of most breakfast places! We ordered the French toast combo (comes with 2 sides) and the waffle Specialty combo (comes with 2 sides) Service was great and very attentive. Very clean place and food comes out relatively fast! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

It was nice set up and the food was alright 7/10 I say and the waiter help bring my food quick too

The presentation was so nice! Good food too! I had a Western omelette. It was very good and looked the part!

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. read more

Food was good. Wait staff not so much, never came back to see if we needed anything. This was not just a bad day for her because we have had this same waitress in the past. Her tip reflected the 10% of work she gave us. She received a 10% tip, which is very generous considering somebody else brought her food out. All she did was make us wait on her to give us the bill. Hostess was braiding her hair at the cash register. It seems a little wrong at a restaurant. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

Well I'll start with the positive. The place is nice and clean. The glasses of water are large and tasty. The staff is very nice and our waitress was wonderful. We only waited 20 minutes for a table on a Sunday at noontime. Next the not so positive. After ordering it took over an hour to get our food. Understand if they had a staff shortage and can give them the benefit of the doubt on that. We don't eat pancakes or waffles and they might be good. We like an omelet and these were very underwhelming. We ordered the Build your own omelet with an up charge from the regular offerings. We ordered spinach, tomato and onion, my husband got peppers instead of onions. Well the omelets are flat with cheese instead and a sprinkle of veggies on top. Could hardly see them. The potatoes and grits were good though. Still on the hunt for a true veggie omelet at a breakfast place in Gainesville. Anyone have any suggestions???? read more

Simpli amazing, a place ypu should try. Service was exceptional and quality of food amazing

you're in Gainesville and haven't been to Keke's, you're seriously missing out. The food? Always fresh, hot, and ridiculously good--especially the waffles and omelets. But what really makes the experience unforgettable is the service, and I have to give a HUGE shoutout to Jackson. Jackson is hands down an amazing server. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel welcome, gave great recommendations, and had the perfect mix of professionalism and friendly energy. It's rare to find someone who makes your morning better just by being around--but Jackson does exactly that. Did I mention Jackson is amazing? Because he really is. Attentive without hovering, quick with the coffee refills, and somehow always right there when you need something. His timing and energy made the meal feel like a treat, not just breakfast. We'll definitely be back--and honestly, we'll be asking for Jackson again, because yes, Jackson is that amazing. read more

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. read more

First time here, we wait 55 min to be seated, the waitress took the order and brought us coffee, then more than 40 minutes passed and they offered us more coffee because the order was going to take a while, the wait time was long but it was a good opportunity to talk, the food was good i was hopping to order egg Benedict but no luck and the facilities were nice and clean... 4 stars for the excessive wait time. read more

Great service and too much food!! lol I had the egg bowl w veggies and Swiss cheese. It was really good. Forgot to take a pic Definitely go! read more

The service is great. My food was good but not great. I would not wait another 35 minutes like I did my last trip. The value is not the best though the portions are adequate. I will choose other places next time but still give 4 stars. Maybe another chance when not as busy read more

We were on the road and used the iExit app which tells you everything at each interstate exit. It's a cool app where you can sort by service type and more. Found this place about a mile from the exit and had a really nice breakfast. The girls had blueberry and strawberry waffles plus Eggs Benedict. They loved them. The better half ordered regular pancakes. They were as big as a small pizza plus she got three. I ordered the Two Egg Combo, scrambled and chose the English Muffin then added sausage links. It was a great breakfast. If you travel I-75 in Florida then bookmark this place. It's in Gainesville. It's in a new building and a nice place. Plenty of parking too. read more

For a group of 8 we were seated quickly for a Sunday morning. Our waitress came by quickly and the service was quite good. The coffee was not good, basically brown water for $4, not sure what happened there. I had the create your combo with the waffle, eggs and bacon. I received 4-5 slices of bacon which was great! Everything was delicious. The chicken and waffles appeared to be nothing special, 3 breaded tenders on a plain waffle. The potatoes were not as brown and crispy as usual according to another guest. Overall, we had a good time and the service was great! I'd come back. read more

This was my first time eating here and I enjoyed everything from the customer service to the food. My server was so attentive making sure I enjoyed my food and checking to make sure I needed refills cause I love when I don't have to ask for my drink to be refilled! I tend to stay away from "spicy" foods in the morning, but that southwest omelet was calling me so I threw all caution to the wind. I appreciate how the jalapenos were finely chopped. Most places just chunk them things in where there's 4 pieces of it. It was evenly spread throughout my omelet. I ordered a side of bacon fried crispy and it was just that! The grits were good. I had to steal the cup of butter from my bunk buddy's pancakes to put on top of them. They weren't dry, I just like to put butter on top of my grits. The coffee came in the cutest round square mug. I really enjoyed my breakfast here at Keke's. The ambiance was 5/5. Whenever I am in town again I will be eating here for sure! read more

First I will be back to give it another try! My server was good & communicative BUT I have to take off stars because of my subpar meal. Unfortunately, the runner took my food to the table next to me. One of the people at their table and I ordered similar but noticeably different items. The guy got Apple cinnamon French toast (topped with apples and cinnamon) and mine were regular (no toppings), I got cheese eggs he got regular. I was being patient minding my business so I didn't notice until the server came over and acknowledged it. She took the food back to the kitchen. I told her it's fine that I was in no rush and would wait but please make sure they don't just bring out the same plates (because that happens more than you know). Even though I was assured that would not be the case, I'm almost certain if new items were re-fired fresh, my meal would have and should have been piping hot. Not lukewarm. No need to provide butter for my French toast because it won't melt on a warm/colder than freshly cooked order. Unfortunate situation but I will try to come back again. Upside, the people next to me seemed to really be enjoying their hot meal :) & Bacon is always good cold!! Fried to perfection! read more

This was my last visit to keke's. Service was fine. Food was far below average, average is what I expect from keke's. In trying to share the experience I'll describe it by juxtaposing it to that hotdog you seeing at the gas station living out its last 48 hours in that constant turning heating thing, when you see that hot dog you think to yourself "nope." Yeah, that is keke's. read more

Went here for some lunch today and I got the Eggs Benedict for a 3rd try and they can never seem to get the eggs right. The first time was great the second they failed I said something and they fixed it then this time I went failed again I don't understand what's so hard about pouching an egg. The yolk is supposed to be runny ugh. My potatoes wasn't even warm that came with the meal like the second time. The food is good just not cooked to order I feel and it just sits till someone orders it. I might try one more time cause the service is good but this just gets old. read more

I don't like to bash a service, but I'm so upset we just spent forty dollars on breakfast, no make that lunch because it took almost two hours to get in and out of there. The waffle was so hard and dry, and we received no butter or sauce, and it was glued to the plate. The eggs Benedict was cooked all the way through to hard boiled. The grits with cheese were flavorless. Our server was sweet but made no attempt to keep us updated on the wait or fix our orders, and clearly we weren't the only customers that were upset. Always heard good things about this place, and we're just so upset our first time here was such a waste. read more

Was excited about this spot based on the reviews. Arrived and was told the wait would be 25-30 minutes...not bad. What they didn't say was that the wait to actually eat would be over an hour! Our server rarely checked on us and by the time she realized we had not received our food, it had been almost 50 minutes. The manager comes over and says they were overwhelmed because it was homecoming and they had a lot of catering orders. So, say you don't care about the service you provide without saying it. If you know your kitchen is going to be taxed, shouldn't the leadership step in to make adjustments?! Manager apologizes, says she's rushing our food, brings over undercooked waffles and overcooked eggs! She comes back and says she is giving us a discount of a whoping 10%?! Ummm...yeah...won't be back to this location. It's clear that it was solely about making as much money as they could this weekend and service be damned! read more

great location (free parking but can get packed), friendly hostess and great waitress! baby friendly! they have bfast and lunch items. great lunch options w/a few veggy lunch items and TONS of bfast options! loved the pancakes! yummy fries and wraps. eggs werent bad either. would definitely come back, try more things. clean and cute. good prices! read more
