    Philly Cheese Steak Omelet
    Lorrie-Ann R.

    Good brunch option. They're consistent and offer great service. The Philly cheesesteak omelette with home fries is my favorite. Ask for the home fries extra crispy. Their grits are not the best. Not enough flavor but that's really the only thing from here I don't love.

    One last meal before heading home. I decided to have breakfast at Keke's Breakfast Cafe. I have read so many reviews about this place from other yelpers, and now I get to experience it for myself, but no one mentioned how packed this place was. One thing I believe in is when a restaurant is consistently packed, that signifies the food is good. Along with other groups of people, I had to wait to be seated, but it wasn't for long. I followed the hostess through the spacious restaurant until he placed me at a small booth table. My server was very pleasant. She approached the table, warmly greeted me, and asked if I would like some orange juice, which I gladly accepted. At the same time, I placed an order for their apple cinnamon french toast. Wow, I was impressed with the presentation. Three thick slices of bread nicely browned with cinnamon-spiced apple filling and dusted with powdered sugar. This dish didn't need any syrup. The flavors from the apples was just enough and it was so ooey-gooey good. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed and I received satisfactory service. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit.

    Seven or eight years ago I ate at Keke's and apparently decided I would carry that experience like a lifelong grudge. I don't remember exactly what happened, but in my mind it was dramatic enough to blacklist the entire establishment. Fast forward to this week. My wife and a close friend convinced me to stop acting like a breakfast exile and give it another shot. The result? Why did I wait this long??? The service was friendly and on point from the jump. Our waitress was attentive, efficient, and shockingly present. No disappearing acts. No scavenger hunts for refills. Just actual hospitality. Imagine that. And the food? Spectacular. I ordered a waffle with strawberries. Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Basically the architectural blueprint for how waffles should behave. The strawberries were the perfect complement. Sweet, fresh, and not just tossed on as an afterthought. My wife's Stuffed French toast? Perfect. Like "why would you ever order anything else" perfect. Our friend had the pancakes. Fluffy. Light. Delicious. Simple elegance. So here I am, publicly admitting I held a grudge against a breakfast spot for nearly a decade when the place is clearly doing something special. Five stars. For the food. For the service. And for teaching me that maybe I'm the dramatic one.

    Worth the trip. Best American breakfast and accommodated large crowds well. Service was quick and professional. Food was delicious with huge portions so the not so big eaters can definitely share a plate. Kids had more than enough food and pancakes were cooked perfectly. I love thick fluffy pancakes and this place did not disappoint. The butter was really nice soft and well salted. Bacon cooked crispy and eggs done right. Highly recommend if you want a solid big breakfast before getting on with your day. Place is nice and casual and also clean which I appreciated.

    Needed a solid breakfast before a park day and ended up at Keke's Breakfast Café in Kissimmee--figured I'd see if the hype matches the morning crowd. Atmosphere: Clean, bright, and family-friendly. Booths and tables packed but not chaotic, coffee refills making the rounds, and that steady diner hum that somehow wakes you up faster than espresso. Easy spot for groups; plenty of two-tops if you're flying solo. Food: The Florida pancakes are an absolute must. The quality, the presentation, the price, everything that will just start your day off or even week off right. Fluffy and filling, plus topped with fruit and served with a choice of sausage if you'd like, just makes for the perfect breakfast and enough fuel for the parks if that's what you are here for. Service: Fast, cheerful, and on top of refills. Our server gave straight-shooting recs. Notes/Tips: Peak breakfast hours get busy; late morning is an easier sit. Wrap-up: Comfort-food breakfast done right: big plates, friendly service, and a room that feels like the unofficial pre-park meetup. Easy yes if you want a no-drama morning that actually fills you up.

    We just got off a flight from California and we were staying in Orlando for our vacation. We needed a real meal after a long flight and Keke's was the first spot that came up on my search. It was a wonderful choice we arrived before the brunch rush and were seated immediately. Our server was amazing and the amount of food you get for the value is UNBEATABLE! Very generous portions especially when it comes to choosing sausage or bacon. You get way more food here than if you were to go to Dennys. Keke's will now be at the top of the list ALWAYS when we return to Florida! Service was amazing and very quick.

    Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    1st time at a Keke. We put our name in at check in by front door. They said 20 minutes at 9:48am. I got notified at 10:11am to come in to see host. We got in, told the host our name, then she went to get names of the other parties that came after us, and then proceed to seat three parties that checked in after us. Not sure how they seat according to check in but we had to stand there and wait another 15 minutes before we actually got seated. Our waitress was Robin, she's very good throughout, except that she rang up the kids grill cheese as regular lunch. So we basically got charged double for the meal. We've already paid by the time I realized we got charged regular grill cheese. I decided to ask her what's the difference in the two so I know what the kids version would have been like. She said she thought I pointed at the regular lunch menu and there's not too much difference, maybe instead of 2 slice of cheese it's one and maybe a little more fries? I said it's fine, she's very busy, we were on our way out anyways so I didn't want to make her have to refund the transaction and do all that. I got the Tuna Fruit Salad, it's soooo worth it. Aside from a few soft and discolored grapes, everything else is pretty fresh. Not sure what the hubby was ordering originally but Robin end up suggesting doing the Build Your Own and just get charge extra for additional sides to save money. He ended up with the pancake with fruits on top ($5 extra) and sausages and eggs ($1.49 extra) with toast ($3.49 extra). The pancake has some crispy parts and those parts are really good and lots of fruits on top. Didn't realized hubby's meal had so many extra cost until after we got home and looked at the receipt closer. My other child got an omelet, he said the potato with it was very good. Overall, we would definitely try Keke again but next time figure out the menu better. We definitely could have had the same amount of food and cost less if we ordered correctly.

    Chicken & Waffles, 2 Egg Combo*

    Visited Keke's Breakfast Cafe this morning for a late Saturday brunch. We joined the waitlist around 11:10 AM and were quoted a 50-minute wait, which ended up being fairly accurate, we were seated shortly after 12. The restaurant itself is pretty average in terms of decor and could definitely use a refresh, both in seating and overall appearance. Upon first impression, cleanliness was lacking in certain areas, which set the tone a bit. Once seated, a busser took our drink orders, and our server came by shortly after to introduce herself and let us know she'd return to take our order. After ordering, the food came out in about 20 minutes, which was reasonable given how busy they were. Portion sizes were generous, definitely more food than we could finish. However, service became inconsistent as we were attended to by multiple staff members, likely due to the rush. We experienced the longest delays waiting for basics like syrup, drink refills, and utensils after the food had already been delivered. As for the food, it was good but fairly average for a breakfast spot. While everything was prepared well, it lacked the standout flavor you'd expect after nearly an hour wait. Additionally, the women's restroom was noticeably dirty and not well-maintained, which was disappointing and reinforced the overall impression that cleanliness could use more attention.

    Banana waffle, eggs, bacon, cheesesteak omelet & grits (I forgot to get a picture of the bacon and sausage omelet)

    My Order: Create Your Own Omelet -- Green Peppers, Cheddar Cheese, Bacon & Sausage, with a side of Grits and extra Bacon (because... priorities). The Food: The omelet was solid--fresh and flavorful--but the bacon? Listen. The bacon absolutely stole the show! Crispy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Trust me, don't leave without getting the bacon. Oh, and shoutout to them for having Coke Zero (yes, there IS a difference between that and Diet Coke... lol). ‍‍‍ The Atmosphere: Chill, clean, and family-friendly. A welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The Experience: From start to finish, service was on point--friendly, fast, and attentive. Carlos and Maria were great! Food came out hot and in great time. No complaints here. Overall Score: 8/10 A great breakfast spot for good vibes and even better bacon. Will definitely be back!

    Cafe Combo - blueberry pancakes, eggs and fruit
    Heidi S.

    A great find for breakfast on our recent trip to Orlando. The pregnancy craving for blueberry pancakes with strong and Keke's did not disappoint. We stopped in on a Friday morning around 9 and it was busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table for 2. The restaurant is a standalone in the lot of a strip shopping center with ample private parking. It is a welcoming location, very bright and cheerful decor to start the day! Our server greeted us immediately and took our drink orders. Coffee took quite a while to arrive and my decaf had to be brewed fresh. This was surprising given how packed the place was. I perused the menu online while we waited (and the yelp photos) to help me decide. The menu is extensive but I opted for blueberry pancakes and added a side of fresh fruit. The pancakes were gigantic! I wish I could have eaten every bite - they were so light and fluffy. Fruit was a good portion and very fresh. Hubby chose the classic French toast, which was a good portion but looked very dry. Service was good throughout and my breakfast was delicious enough to entice me to return if I'm back in the area.

    We stopped here when in Orlando and are so glad we did! I couldn't make a reservation it was first come first serve waited about 40 mins. Place is very open and airy with some cute artwork. Our waitress Maria was fabulous was very attentive and friendly. We all different items and everything was phenomenal. The home fries are a must. If ill will be in this area again definitely coming back.

    Darlene was the best servicer: She is a jewel, so kind sweet and attentive. The food was delicious and the pancakes reminded me of my grandmother's. Great portion sizes. A must try and look for Darlene.

The home fries were a bit oily, but adding ketchup helped, and I still enjoyed them. The mimosa came in a regular cup with no ice and a small bottle of Barefoot Bubbly, which I actually appreciated because I could pour as much or as little as I wanted. The stuffed French toast was really good too. As for the service before being seated, I was a little discouraged, and at one point we almost walked out. I had really been craving Keke's before the end of our trip though, so I convinced my husband to stay. We weren't acknowledged when we first walked in, and the three employees at the front were all busy doing different things. The host stand seemed to turn into a cashier station, a drink pickup area, and a walkway all at once, so there wasn't much organization or a clear order for guests coming in. I think having a better system during peak hours would make a big difference. Once we were seated, though, the service was good. The atmosphere was chill, busy, and very family-oriented. Overall, we enjoyed the food, but we'll probably try a different Keke's location the next time we're in town.

We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

    I seriously can't wait to be back at Big John's! Let me tell you 5 reasons why we WILL be back:…read more 1. Our waitress was absolutely the sweetest. Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness. Rock on, Big John!!

    A coworker and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat today. As many other reviewers have…read morementioned, the interior aesthetic is attractive and very cute. There are plenty of places to take cute Instagram pictures. However, that does not help the overall score of the rest of the experience. When we first arrived, we were instructed to review the menu at a seat-yourself station and then return to the front to place our order. There were some interesting and tasty-looking options to pick from. Unfortunately, I was a bit perplexed by the pricing on the menu versus what came up on the cash register. I ordered the Mixed Berries Crepes with Nutella ($11), and I was going to order a Strawberry Boba for $5, but instead my total was nearing $25 dollars?? The pricing did not match the menu. The cash register didn't seem very friendly. When I noticed my crepe read "Banana/Strawberry" instead of Mixed Berry. I clarified I was getting the correct order. She told me, "Yes, yes." (Spoil alert: I did not get the mixed berries but instead a Strawberry and Banana Crepe...) I paid, and then took the little marker flag with a number they give you so the waitresses can find the correct table to deliver the orders to. My coworker and I waited in the back for our orders. Although we ordered back-to-back, the orders were fulfilled at different intervals. When my order finally arrived, the waitress was looking for the right table to deliver it to. I raised my hand and said it was my order. She looked at me with scrutiny as if I were lying to her. ( What was the point of the flag marker with the number then, if you're uncertain of the order???) My crepe was pretty, but overall, it was okay in flavor and taste. It wasn't very hot, though, and was lukewarm. I would give the crepe a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything I'd come running back for. The staff wasn't the friendliest and seemed confused and disorganized. I would not come back here again. Read the prior low reviews, as most of the complaints others have had with this establishment seem to be a running occurrence.

    Came here while waiting for an event to start. The service was not great. The waitresses looked…read morelike they did not know what they were doing. They gave you a number for your order for the table but when they bring out your food, they were searching by individual people by asking who ordered what. The ambiance is nice but i have allergies and mold sensitivity and my eyes started getting irradiated. The food was okay not greasy. I had the side of eggs with turkey bacon and toast. Overall It was an okay experience but a little chaotic.
