    Pancake
    Tonisha B.

    The staff is so friendly and hospitable here. Breakfast food is my favorite so I've had this place on my list for a while. I stopped in around 1:00 PM on a Thursday and it wasn't busy at all. It took a second for the hostess to see me but once she did I was seated immediately. I got the KeKe's Breakfast Combo and it was very filling. I'm so glad they offered turkey products because most places in the south only have pork. The southwest omelette was the highlight of the four items for me. It was really flavorful and cooked to perfection. (Kind of spicy though so I'll ask for light jalapeño next time. The petal sauce is horseradish based so it has a kick to it too.) The pancake was ok but too sweet for my liking (it was reminiscent of a funnel cake). The potatoes were home fries style with onions like a southern grandma would make. I liked them but they could've been more crispy. I also requested my turkey bacon crispy but it didn't come out that way so I had to send it back. However, they made it right the second time around. The price was fair and the staff added to the experience so I would go again if I'm in the area. Next time I want to try the French toast.

    Oh Keke's, how I have missed you! I lived in Orlando for a few years about a decade ago and that is where I fell in love with Keke's for the first time. I had no clue that it was a chain that extended into middle TN until I was cruising around Hendersonville last week and spotted Keke's from the distance. I am so mad that I didn't know my beloved Keke's was mere miles from my house, but I am now thrilled to know the same! This location of Keke's sits on Indian Lake Boulevard among all the shopping and eateries. It is situated in a small plaza that shares the larger space with other retailers. Parking is enough, but can be limited when it gets busy, however the large surrounding lots have you covered. Keke's is known for their breakfast and lunch, more so breakfast staples. The food is no frills, comforting and classic. My favorites have always been pancakes, breakfast sandwiches and cheese grits. For my first visit in nearly 10 years, I opted for the pancakes, side of sausage links and a sweet tea. And it was perfection. Service was great from entry to exit. The hostess greeted me quickly and sat me even quicker. My server, Bailee, was friendly, nice and helpful! Prices have gone up since my Orlando days, but what hasn't become more expensive. While I am still a fan, $3.99 for a sweet tea is WILD! I won't fault this location for the prices, but dang... Overall, glad to know Keke's is within reach again!

    Blueberry Stuffed French Toast
    Shawna S.

    The chicken & waffles were amazing. It seems like everyone makes the chicken spicy on this menu item but Keke's did it without the spice and I truly appreciate that. It was so delicious. We also got the Blueberry Stuffed French toast which was very good. Our waitress was friendly and came to check on us a few times which was nice. Our food came out pretty quickly after ordering. When we arrived there was a wait and we were told about 20-25min. It took 35min to be seated. But it was certainly worth the wait. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was casual. The restrooms were also clean, although the stall in the ladies room is very small.

    Banana Caramel Pecan Stuffed French Toast

    The food tasted good although I was a bit disappointed with the stuff frenched toast. The basically take the French Toast and cut it in triangles, smear some cream cheese on it and put it together like a club sandwich. It had good flavor, just wasn't what I was expecting. The home fries were more like fried potato slices and had an excellent flavor. The bacon was flavorful and crispy. The waitress kept our coffee and drinks filled but she didn't follow up much at the end. The booth was comfortable and the restaurant wasn't too noisy.

    The food was really good. It wasn't super crowded. Our server was excellent. The portions are large. The prices are reasonable. The bathroom was also clean. I will definitely come back. New fav breakfast spot

    Florida Pancakes combo
    Sarah B.

    Deb was our server and she crushed it! Huge portions, clean place, managers and staff checked on us frequently and the food was fresh! What a neat place!

    Single Classic French Toast
    Jill B.

    I visited Keke's Breakfast Cafe this morning for breakfast/brunch and had a fantastic experience! We were greeted and seated immediately, despite the moderate crowd. Our server, Bailee, was excellent--attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They even let us order from the lunch menu just before it officially opened at 10:30. We tried several things from the menu, Create Your Own Combo (great value), the Steak Panini with onion rings, Silver Dollar Pancakes, and a Sunshine Bowl. Portions were generous and delicious, though the home fries were slightly greasy for my taste. They bring regular syrup by default, but I requested maple syrup, and they brought out the cutest little mini maple syrup bottles! If you prefer maple syrup, just ask--they've got it! For drinks we had water and one of the 3 offered cocktails. The White Peach Bellini, served with a mini champagne bottle and juice, was a fun touch! The decor was bright and inviting, with a casual vibe. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms. They have a parking lot right out front with plenty of spaces. If it's busy, you may need to park in the shared lot with nearby restaurants and shops. Open Daily 7:00 am - 2:30 pm Highly recommend checking Keke's Breakfast Cafe out--I'll definitely be back!

    Apple Cinnamon French Toast, Home Fries, Bacon
    Jack R.

    Really enjoyed the meal at Keke's! Very clean and. service was prompt. All the French toast was light and airy even with the toppings and the bacon & potatoes was cooked perfectly as part of the combo!

    Southwest omelet
    Sean L.

    We were so glad we stopped in for breakfast. Layla was great and very attentive and the food was delicious. If you are looking for adult beverage to get the morning started, be sure to get their Mimosa!

    The service was the worst I've ever experienced when a restaurant was not busy so being not busy meant they had time to at least acknowledge my presence

    Greek Omelet

    I love their Greek omelette here. I was able to sit down quickly and staff helped us with the menu. The café has a small diner feel.

    Unbelievable breakfast choice!!

    Unbelievable breakfast. Keke's, you out did yourselves. This is my first visit and I will definitely be back!

I've been here twice, and it's in a convenient spot with plenty of free parking nearby. Most recently, my husband and I stopped by for an early breakfast, and we had a quick and tasty meal! When I do dine at a First Watch, I usually aim to try something new since they have such a large menu. Their seasonal menu actually rotates every 6 weeks or so, and there's always something fun and fresh to try from their special selections. This time, I stuck to the healthier side of the menu, and went with the Tri-Athlete egg white omelette. This was light and very veggie-forward, which is just what I wanted for such an early meal. My husband ordered the Farmhouse Hash, which is a must-try for anyone who loves breakfast potatoes. Their multigrain toast is full of flavor, and one of my favorite things to dip in eggs or jam (or both!) I also love the AM Superfoods Bowl, although we didn't order that this time around. Our server was fast and friendly, and made sure we had plenty of coffee on hand throughout our meal. We'd definitely return to this location the next time we're in the area!!

Written reviews matched our secondary experiences. The service was disjointed, and uncoordinated, and the food, should have never been brought to the table. But the claims of, "Under New Management", offered some hope of reviving the standards that had previously earned their namesakes, reputation and growth. This morning's breakfast experience was an astounding disappointment. Greeted and seated by cordial, pleasant staff, we were a party of 3, occupying only the second table, at 9:15 AM. (That emptiness itself should have been a hint of what was to come.) It took much longer than expected just to get coffee and water. Still longer, to place an order, and nearly half-an-hour for the actual meal service. The quality of the food, was nothing short of astonishingly poor. Most notably, cold. Considering there were only two tables occupied in the entire dining room, the cold servings were the first indication of coordination, communications, process, and standards shortfalls. The food preparation showed the skillsets of a 12 year-old, trying to mimic Mom's kitchen routine. How can a restaurant cook not do toast? It was white bread, with a slightly stiff outer layer. Most people would describe it as, "stale bread"; not toast. The pancakes served with the "Lieper's Fork Favorite", were beyond belief. Three hard little discs, served cold, with chilled hard pats of butter, and NO syrup. I actually demonstrated to the very nice server, that the pancakes could NOT be cut with a fork. Again - could NOT be cut with a fork! Come on... They're PANCAKES! Not a single bite could be sampled, without the utility of a knife. I am not a small person. I tried three places around the brown discs to acquire a bite. Țhe effort was foreboding enough. Ì surrendered. The scrambled eggs and bacon were edible, though lacking temperature, and uncaring presentation. When the server saw that the pancakes were as fork resistant as a Frisbee, she took the plate to the kitchen manager. He was a nice, apologetic young man, who acknowledged that the pancakes were "Overcooked on one side..." He did offer to make more. I declined. I told him I sincerely appreciated his offer. But the issue was much deeper, than plastic pancakes. As indicated by the lack of clientele in a fairly large restaurant, there was a blinding flash of the obvious. They were squandering the owner's investment. The kitchen staff lacked the skillsets to produce the simplest traditional American Breakfast - and - the wisdom to refrain from placing it up for service. The plating looked SO incredibly bad, that it was obvious that both standards and personal pride were totally absent. The staff was nice. Ignorance is curable. Training, processes, and well established standards can develop nice people into effective business associates. It's not their fault. They have NO leadership directions. The owners have let them down. Țhose owners have had ample signals and time to cure these maladies. They have a model, in their other facilities - that's how / why they opened more than one restaurant. But those owners are apparently oblivious to the signals of absentee management, process inconsistency, and the gross lack of product standards, leading to failure. To those nice people working at Puckett's, I have a sincere recommendation. The best time to find a job, is when you already have one. Your current employer is going to fail; sooner rather than later. They will surely continue with their communications shortfalls. They will not tell you in advance. They will simply let you go when they finally lock the doors. Take care of yourself. FInd an employer who has a distinct business survival plan. Such plans, include coordination, process leadership, training, and holding a team accountable to perform to the standards they were trained to. You're not getting that.
