We had initially walked to IHOP, but I am SO GLAD we changed our minds. There was no wait here, which honestly surprised us. You walk in and are immediately greeted by friendly staff! Server or not, and that definitely set the mood right off. Our waitress (I do believe her name was Marisola) was attentive, quick and efficient, friendly! The restaurant has a nice dining atmosphere, and we were sat in a cute tiny "couples" booth. I ordered the scramblers bowl, he ordered the apple stuffed French toast combo with eggs and sausage. Food was served in 15 mins & tasted DELICIOUS. Will for certain be going back while we're here! read more

Breakfast was ok. Omelette was good, home fries bland and greasy. Chicken tenders on Chicken and Waffles were real breast meat but a bit dry. Coffee was bitter. Server seemed less than pleased to be there, until the bill came and she sweetly wished us a "blessed day" We're just passing through and while I'm sure it was a better choice than Cracker Barrel or Waffle House, I wouldn't go back. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Chicken & Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

My family recommended this establishment as we're visiting from California. The food took a very long time to be made and although the waitress Heidi was nice, the hostess named Kasey was absolutely rude. She made rude remarks and she slammed the plate on the table. She had a very condescending attitude. I will not return to this place to eat. read more

We went to a late breakfast after my Dr's appointment. We got our favorite server, Tina and her service was fantastic! I ordered the chocolate chip pancake with scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and bacon. My brother Jonathan ordered the sausage and cheese omelette with home fries and wheat toast. My Mom got two fried eggs with a bagel and home fries. Our food was so good. I missed Keke's bacon it is so tasty and crispy. Their chocolate chip pancakes are delicious! We will definitely be going back again soon. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Cheese Steak Omelet!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

The omelets here are always dry and rubbery. I forgot because I haven't eaten here lately. I ordered the veggie omelet , light on the green pepper and what I got was an over abundance of them! Disappointing!! The waitress was extremely polite and very efficient but she said she was very sorry that my food was wrong but didn't offer to take it back. Bad customer service. So I guess I won't eat breakfast here but continue to eat an early lunch. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Cheese Steak Panini - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

I have been to a Keke restaurant before for breakfast and the omelettes and pancakes are really good. I went today for lunch and the chicken and waffles plate was awesome. The waffle was well prepared and the chicken was moist , crunchy, and tasty. They serve it with a sweet and spicy syrup which brings it all together. My only gripe is the $4 price tag for iced tea which is just plain wrong. Luckily our server gave me one for the road in a to-go cup which lessens the pain slightly. read more

Breakfast was amazing. The menu was big and there was a lot to choose from. Food was absolutely delicious! Would be back if we lived in the area. Service was great also! read more

Today was our first day trying KeKe's Breakfast Cafe. We ordered a quantity of 2 of the Florida Pancakes to go. The pancakes did taste good. But online it shows that each order has 3 pancakes. Since we had 2 orders of it, we assumed we would get a total of 6 pancakes, 3 each. We only got 1 pancake each, 2 total. $31.98 before tax for only 2 total pancakes is definitely on the expensive side. My husband asked and they said the order was correct. So $15.99 per pancake. The website, Uber Eats, and DoorDash all show 3 pancakes in the picture, not 1. *The pancakes did come with fruit, since it was a to go order the fruit was in a container on the side not pictured. read more

I just order chicken and waffles from there, and they gave me now whipped cream like its supposed to have with it, and instead of they spicy syrup they gave me grape jam, wtf is up with these kekes restaurants in lakeland just giving you what they want. That was my last time ordering from kekes in Lakeland again. read more

The food was excellent all three times we went for breakfast. The waitstaff were amazing the best we have had in a long time!!

Arrived here an hour after they opened and it was a ghost town. No one eating, and it didn't appear as though anyone was working, but someone came up very quickly and sat us and was also our waitress. The service was fast, friendly and attentive. Food came out rather quickly and it was delicious. I got the combo with french toast, home fries and bacon. The French toast was a little eggy but perfect, the bacon (which is preference) was incredibly crispy, some of the best bacon I've had at a restaurant. I wasn't really a fan of the home fries, not exactly what I expected but it's okay. They kept our coffee filled. Overall was just a great breakfast experience. read more

I have visited the N Lakeland Florida store on few occasions and had excellent service and food. This Morning was no exception! I had been fasting for a test and need coffee ASAP. No waiting, was seated and Jeanine P was there with a cup hot and steaming. I knew what I wanted and in no time was eating a most delicious meal. Food was prepared to my request. Jeanine kept my cup full and was most kind in making sure I was satisfied. I highly recommend this location and of course Jeanine P read more

Absolutely delighted with this restaurant! Wonderful service and so many great choices. The silver dollar pancakes were great, fluffy and light. Husband had eggs, home fries, grits and toast, he devoured it all! Great place, ask for Marisol, she was an excellent server. read more

One day was perfect the other, the second time, eggs weren't fully cooked when scrambled. Waitress was efficient both times. read more

Very good traditional eggs Benedict!! I'll be back. Home fries were good, but they do not serve sour cream- they should consider changing that. They also pushed their cocktails and it was barely 11 a.m. the hostess said it's 5:00 somewhere. They cost $7.99 if you're interested. I declined. read more

Wow! I went in today as it is my birthday and I went for a solo breakfast! And I mentioned to my waiter, Alejandro, it was my birthday. He brought me a happy birthday fruit plate and it was the sweetest thing! He was WONDERFUL! Funny and attentive! The staff in general was great from the moment i walked! I have been to many Keke's and honestly I was so happy when they opened one in Lakeland. This one is officially my favorite!! Thank you again to the staff and Alejandro for making me wonderful on my birthday! read more

My wife and I had breakfast this morning and the food was great. The portions were ample, well prepared, and tasty. Their breakfast potatoes are really good - no onions (which is ok with us) - thick round slices nicely fried. I would say they're a little stingy with the jelly - you have to request it and then specify your choice among grape, strawberry, and mixed-berry (Smucker unit-dose cups) after which you might get two units. I would also note that $4 (ok, $3.99) for a cup of coffee would make you think they were pouring liquid gold! What impressed me today, however, was the service, care, and execution of the staff. The restaurant was busy - it was 11am - yet the hostess working the entry was efficient and, rather than taking our names for a list, quickly said "I'll get you seated quickly"...which she did. She was deftly handling several incoming guests and getting them directed to tables. Friendly but efficient. As we sat down, I noticed the young man cleaning tables. Usually, you find a mindlessly seemingly bored worker half-a$$edly wiping tables. At a table across from us, this young man gave his attention to the task, cleared the table of everything, sprayed the cleaner so as to cover the surface, and wiped with attention to removing even stuck on food gunk. He did an impressive job of making us feel like OUR table was clean. I mentioned it to him, too. Our order was quickly taken by Avery and our food came quickly afterwards. My wife was offered coffee refills at least twice while we were there. We never felt rushed even though the restaurant was clearly ramping up with lunch business. This is my second time to this location and I've been impressed each time. While we used to consider KeKe's on the pricier side of breakfast places, I would note that even the most "diner-y" of places now seem to be in the same price range as KeKe's. So, now, they're in the ballpark. read more

We didn't know Keke's was a chain until we got there but we were starving so we gave it a try! It was okay, nothing memorable or fantastic, just mediocre chain food. Hailey was our server and she was amazingly friendly, genuinely happy and perfectly attentive! The food quality just isn't there, portions are small, timing is slow and food temperatures are a bit too low! Very nice, clean restaurant though! read more

My first visit. My wife brought me to Keke's and I was not disappointed. Our server John was very busy but took time at our table to help my wife with her order of Eggs Benedict on a portobello mushroom (pictured.) If you enjoy coffee this is the place for really good coffee. The food was on cute little rectangular dishes, the taste was delicious and fresh tasting. If you want good, fresh hot food and coffee, visit Keke's Breakfast Cafe in North Lakeland. read more

We went into the North Location on Sunday morning. We got seated all the way in the back by the back door. The waitress was quick to take our order, but things went downhill from there. My wife ordered 2 eggs and hashbrowns and I ordered the Ham and Cheese Omelet with grits. Nothing special. 30 minutes passed without any food or anyone telling us what the delay was. Then one of the other waitresses came and ask if we ordered a cup of bananas with our food. I told her no and we didn't even have our food. Then about 1 minute later another waiter came with our food. My wifes eggs were luke warm and the hash browns were cold. Finally our waitress came and ask if we needed anything else. I ask for a couple packs of sugar. She never returned with the sugar. When she came to wait on the table next to us we ask again for the sugar, and she looked disgusted we were asking, and said they didn't have any sugar only artificial sweeteners She continued to wait on the the table next to us. When the bill came we left no tip for the very slow service and the poor attitude of the waitress. read more

Solid breakfast. Huge tasty pancake. Pleasant and prompt service.

Never been to this location, definitely going back. Everyone will enjoy being served by Heydi. Soooo quick and delicious (except for the average coffee). Just wish I could have paid with Applepay - their connection was not available. First Watch - game on. read more

The good thing the place was clean and staff friendly. We ordered a burger and chicken wrap. Instead of chips my husband substituted the fruit cup knowing there would be a up charge. He didn't realize the up charge would be a $7!! Wow !! My chicken wrap was mainly wrap and barely chicken. The prices are little high for portions we got. Maybe the breakfast is better? read more

Love it here! We are always greeted with a friendly smile and seated promptly. The menu is expansive and has something for everyone. The glasses for orange juice are massive and you won't need them refilled. We be tried omelettes, stuffed French toast and eggs Benedict-all were warm and delicious. We always make our way back to Keke's when in Central Florida. read more

There was a slight wait for a table which we didn't mind. They turned tables over really fast. Everyone there was very friendly, Alexandro was our waiter and he was great. Top notch service. The food was very good I had the French toast with blueberries and my wife had a steak omelet with peppers and onions. We enjoyed it and will go again. read more

Never got to the food. Due to waiting for over an hour. There was only 3 other people in the cafe and they were complaining how their food was burnt. -update as I'm typing- come to find out, my family and I food has been sitting in the waiting window getting cold. Then the manager doesn't even know how to do a refund. Ridiculous. read more

We stopped by this cafe on the way to Orlando. Once we arrived, there were a lot of people sitting on the benches outside waiting. We put our name down and went shopping! Within 15 minutes, we were seated. The restaurant was nice and clean even while it was super busy. The food was delicious. I got the Portabella Sandwich with Onion Rings and it was delicious!! I was full and kept eating! Definitely a must try if you're in the area! read more
