In a few short words, I was not impressed. Granted we didn't get the breakfast foods, but I expected much more than I received. We ordered a Grilled Chicken Caesar salad, which was just "okay", worth eating but not going out of your way for. We also ordered a cheeseburger, which was not good at all. It tasted like frozen patties I'd buy in bulk at a big box store. Overall the service was pretty good, but the food was not worth the trip. Service: 4/5 Food: 2/5 read more

Took more than an hour wait for a table for three. Then another 45 mins for our order to come.

Delicious Food with a wide variety of options! Clean and cute place. My food was exceptional, the waitress did not get my fiancé egg order correct. It was slow to get replaced and service was not as great as I would have liked, but it could have been an off day for the server. She left all the first order food, which was weird to me - he likes to eat his bread w/his goopy eggs and dip his sausages. Took about 5 minutes to get the waitress to fix it, another 4-5 minutes to get the sunny side up eggs. Then his food on the first plate was cold and probably not as go I would go back, fiancé said he wouldn't. Price was on the expensive side, but food was fresh and delicious. Would have like more then a cup of coffee for $2.99. Total bill for 2 coffees, Florida Pancake w/home fries & bacon, Fiancé's 3 eggs, home fries, 4 sausages and English muffin was $38 before tip. Overall food was fresh, but service was less then ok. We are local, but probably will only go on an occasion and w/o fiancé!! read more

Harrison was a great server. Very friendly and respectful. Food and portion sizes were great!

I was looking for a Covid safe place to enjoy brunch and chose Keke's. I ordered the scrambled egg bowl with 3 veggies(mushrooms onion and spinach) and Swiss cheese and ate outside at the beautiful courtyard next to a lovely waterfall feature making it safe, clean, relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend Keke's! read more

Wow! Super satisfied experience this morning at Keke's! My bf and I wanted a late breakfast and weren't sure if this place would be a hit or miss due to some reviews. We were pleasantly surprised! Great breakfast menu! The weren't serving their lunch menu for some reason (covid?) but it looked great too. Service was phenomenal. Our server Josh was super friendly, attentive, respectful, fast. My French toast combo with fruit on top was perfect. Side of bacon and potatoes were amazing. My bf got the Greek omelet, he said it was awesome. Coffee great. We will be back!! I gotta try the stuffed French toast next time. read more

Very disappointed with my meal here. I ordered an omelet and thought it was mediocre. Was a bit dry and not as flavorful as I was hoping it would be. read more

I was in town for a week on business. I came across this restaurant by chance. The service was so impeccable I went back everyday for 5 days straight. Sonata and Dillon made me feel like family. By the end of the trip, walking in was like an episode of Cheers. Coming from the luxury industry, I can tell you this is 5 star service. read more

Just had breakfast there....a 10.99 Waffle special with home fries and sausage links. I had to send the waffle back two times because it was raw on the inside. The Manager said he would take care of it on the bill. Then I get the bill and learn that he took the 10.99 waffle off but now charged me for the sides which cam to over $9!! Bad business and will not be back. read more

We love breakfast so we had high hopes, however we were very disappointed. Our eggs were ordered over medium and they were hardly runny. The home fries (hash browns) were still crunchy. Our son had stuffed french toast and he enjoyed that which is the only reason for a 2 star review. 5 dishes ordered and only one was worth it. Service was mediocre and it was not at all busy when we arrived at 8:30 on a Saturday. Waffle House was better. read more

So we tried this place for the first time. Ordered 4 breakfast to go and when I got home an item was missing. Gave the store a called and they stated come back for, I said food already cold and the girl stated that's what a microwave is for. Also 2 orders of waffles and 2 orders of French toast and only got 2 small scoops of butter and 2 small containers of syrup. Food is ok at best and pretty expensive. Josh who package the items should of made sure everything was there. read more

Ordered the Southwest Turkey club panini w a side salad w balsamic dressing. Everything was good but the burnt ciabatta bread was over powering. Josh was a great server. read more

I went two weeks ago and it was a joke!!! We arrived there and put our name on the list. 3 people. As you can see, the waiting time was 40min. At this time that I'm writing the review, we still didn't get a table and was told that it will be another 40mins to 1hr because, apparently, people are sitting down and taking too much time to order and the kitchen is unprepared to handle the high demand. That was told be the hostess, that couldn't care less for losing customers. We gave up and went somewhere else. We told others as we left so they promptly followed us out. read more

KeKe's is awesome. Not a bad thing on the menu. It's always busy and the service is consistent.

I went here a couple of days ago with my boyfriend. The server was slow and seemed like she was lost with everything she was doing like she would forget which table got what. She would ask us what we got or put the food down at other tables then notice they aren't theirs. I wouldn't want to eat a food that was on someone else's tables, especially during a pandemic. A few tables arrived a little later after us and all got their food before we did. Once our food finally arrived, it felt like a luke warm but the plate was super hot! That means our food was waiting for a bit. I would personally not go again but it could've also been an off day... read more

Waffles were flavorless, scrambled eggs old and over cooked sausages were greasy. Decor and ambiance non existent. I will never be back.

In a word, disappointed. Went there on a colder morning (too cold to take the pups to our favorite Breakfast place, First Watch) - and wanted to try it out. Won't be back - here's the details: Atmosphere: - 20 tables outside the restaurant they can't serve to - not Dog Friendly (maybe not the restaurant's fault, but frustrating) - Decor - Very vanilla - told my wife it looked like a fake restaurant you'd see people sitting in on a soap opera - Music - elevator instrumental versions of 80's and 90's pop tunes....just horrible.... - Service - we got there at 7:15, we were the 2nd people in the place - looked up and could see 8 workers congregating in the kitchen.....food still took @20 minutes after we ordered. Food: -Omelette was just OK- had better at our two preferred breakfast spots (First Watch and Beach Diner) -Sausage came out room temperature/cold -Potatoes were, again, just OK -Pancakes were solid -Toast was meh (basic bag wheat bread toasted)- and no fresh/different Jelly - plastic Smuckers rectangles like Denny's and Waffle House In conclusion - Denny's level food, but without the Moons over my Hammy sandwich (that is the only reason I crave Denny's @once a year) -NOT worth the wait I see driving by later in the day on the weekends (although i think it will die down as word gets out) -Will always choose Beach Diner, Maple Street and First Watch over this place for better food, better atmosphere, and dog friendly patios. read more

I'd go back again, just for the pancakes! Some of the best I've ever had. The environment is a tad blasé and the other food we ordered was all good and fine, but again, the PANCAKES are what to go for! read more

Not a fan. Menu is priced higher than value IMO. Almost every option is a 3 ingredient option. With options like First Watch a few miles away with seasonal creations that explode with flavor while remaining healthy for the same price, this diner like bust lacks the modern potential of up and coming spots. read more

I was so excited that they came because I tried a Keke's café in Orlando and it was great. However this location is horrible. I have tried it three times and I'm not a fan. I am hoping that they get new management or new cooks, because I really want to like this place since it is so close to my house. Pancakes are ok. Service was okay as well. Rest of the food is nothing to brag about. Please KeKe's turn it around!!! read more

Just went here for the first and last time. The hostess was as miserable as possible, and should have been our first clue to leave. Started by waiting forever to have our order taken. Then an eternity to get our food. When the food arrived, the potatoes were burnt and all the food Was lukewarm at best. I had an omelet that was pretty good considering it was not hot. I ordered a pancake on the side, which although it was very large, was very mushy and doughey and not very good. Oh, and the price of this pancake was $5.50. To encapsulate, for two people eating mediocre breakfast, it cost us $41.00 plus tip. My suggestion if you want or need breakfast, try a local food truck, it will be lots faster and much less expensive. I left them one star because you can't leave less stars. read more

Our take out was subpar to say the least. The breakfast potatoes were so salty they couldn't be eaten, my Greek omelet with feta looked awesome, but the feta was like chunks of chewy rubber, $7 for two orders of missing bacon, and the pancakes were raw in the middle. My five year old did enjoy his chocolate chip waffle, so there's the one star. At 8am on a Sunday before the morning rush, you would have expected better. That was a $50 mistake. It's a bummer because we live so close. read more

About a week ago wife & I decided to check this new place out in the new Durbin Park. The beautiful but large place was clean, service was prompt. There were quite a few empty tables which we attributed to it being around 10:00am, a bit late for the big breakfast crowd. Our server was friendly and very accommodating. I ordered their sausage mushroom omelette and the wife had two eggs over medium with bacon. Both came with fried potatoes (which we both thought were very good) and an English muffin. My omelette was so-so ok, just scrambled eggs done on a flat grill folded over (not your fluffy omelette done in an omelette pan), but it had plenty of mushrooms cooked in the omelette itself with lots of tasty sausage folded inside. The wife's eggs were a bit overdone (see pic) but she said they were good overall. The coffee was very good and the server kept us refreshed, plus asked us both at the end if we'd like a coffee to go...which we took her up on and thought was nice. The price on our bill we was maybe a bit on the high side, but they do give nice size portions w/ orange slice garnishment. We'll be back again and would recommend giving this place a try. read more

Was excited to check out this new location however this morning the hostess rolled her eyes and was rude when I walked in to inquire about the wait and that was enough for me to walk right back out. There's no excuse for a poor attitude for a hostess who is the first person your customers come in contact with. I hope her day turns around and she's a little more friendly to future guests. read more

Our first time here, it was ok. The hostess is the first impression: two large hickies on her neck. Seriously, the size of a 50 cent piece. The food looked better than it tasted. The service was super slow for a breakfast place. My husband ordered a Philly Cheese Steak. The server brought him a philly cheese steak omelette. She offered to fix it, but we'd already been there an hour so he just ate it, well half of it. My waffle was really tough. We should have gone to Waffle House. read more

Very disappointed. My family is here visiting from NY and wanted to have breakfast with our friends here. Unfortunately the young man at the counter refused to sit us bc we were a party of 8. Their policy is no more than 7. We were willing to split our party up and they still denied us. Totally rude and not willing to work with us! read more

We enjoy the breakfast here. But I feel like their drink like orange juice is overpriced. They kind of busy in the morning so the social distance was not well enforce. But I understand due to the pandemic. Other than this, we would recommend this place for breakfast and brunch. read more

Atmosphere blah, food is nothing spectacular. It's new here in Durbin Crossing. I won't go back because when I dine out I want atmosphere inside & food that makes me want to return. Neither was the case here. read more

Went early today 8am. No wait. Service was quick. Home fries were good. Stuffed French Toast was amazing. Yes, the bacon was greasy, but I ordered as a side, so it was on its own plate. Would go back again. read more

Food was great, service was even better. I'm so glad we choose this place for breakfast! They have very reasonable prices for big portions of food. read more

The French toast was bussin and the staff were all super nice- only bad thing was that it was kinda cold inside but it was bearable.

Fast service and lots of seating. It gets very crowded on the weekends so get there early. Food was good. We all enjoyed our meals. Kids loved the French toast. I liked the bacon and eggs but didn't live the home fried potatoes. I prefer them on the griddle and not deep fried. read more

waited 20 minuets with 5 couples ahead of up. 10 tables were wide open and cleaned empty. sat at table for 10 minuets before being acknowledged by waitress. it's just like being in a real dennys. 15 minuets to get drink. I forgot! read more

Been excited to try this place for a new breakfast option. There are already a lot of excellent places out there. Metro, Another Broken Egg, First Watch... Keke's at Durbin Park looks like they rushed their opening. The decor is a hospital cafeteria. For a new place, I anticipated crowds and high staff energy. The place instead feels very deflated and the staff isn't really excited to be there. Pancakes which I think might be one of their special features was mediocre at best. Texture like a hot oven placemat. Blueberry waffle with blueberry glaze?? It's a plain waffle with blueberries dropped into the square holes of the waffle Most omelette orders have American cheese. Noooooo!!!! Sad- I'm not sure how they'll do with the surrounding competition. We won't be back. read more

We enjoy having breakfast there. Great selection. Had lunch once. Burger and fries, wasn't good at all. But back to breakfast. I'll continue to support them. read more

The coffee and the kids pancakes were good but my food and my husbands food came out cold and bland. The severs were nice and everything was clean but they really need to work on their food. read more

Hair was found in the potatoes! Both my friend and I had long blonde hair in our pototoes. This was my first time at this restaurant and I haven't been back! The food is decent; I wouldn't wait more 15 minute to eat there! The manager was nice. read more

The East facing windows make this cafe too hot and too bright to enjoy the good food and friendly staff. This Keke's has been open for 6 months and the glaring sunlight that beams into the cafe and bounces off the shiny black table tops needs to be addressed immediately. Not sure how this place can stay open in Florida without shades or shutters in the windows. read more
