I have not eaten out in YEARS nor would I, but I was getting a nail in my tire fixed at discount auto, so walked over to kekes with one of my kids whom I had with me and we went into kekes to get her some breakfast. We were greeted so politely and kindly by Sky and Sonatta that we decided to stay. The staff is nothing short of a ray of sunshine and it is very apparent that they like their job and are proud to be employed there. I did not get anything, but my daughter got a pancake and fruit dish and a drink. The service was impeccable, the place was VERY clean (which is a HUGE deal to me) and the server (Sonatta) was so nice, friendly and efficient. My daughter loved her breakfast and it was so big that she has half left over for today, I will most definitely be back there to take my other two kids to indulge and enjoy the good eats, good vibes, and great staff! (The scenery of the waterfall wall outside of the window of our booth was a major plus too). read more

First visit was the worst visit! We sat for the longest waiting to be served and the subpar, lukewarm food took forever to reach our table. My advice...pick another brunch spot. First and last visit for me. read more

My husband and I were looking forward to a nice breakfast this morning and saw there was one couple in front of us with no one outside waiting. As we waited others entered and were seated. WTF? We left and to never return. On to First Watch!!! No Stars read more

So after waiting almost 30 minutes for a waiter to come to the table at 0945in the morning, we placed our order with the drink order, not knowing when we may actually see the waiter again. Is it impossible to make a BLT before 1030 since you are serving toast, bacon, lettuce and tomato on other items on the breakfast menu? I was told they could not put these together until after 1030. Wow! Now I see why you have 3 stars! That's being generous! I got my BLT at Genovese' on CR 210! And it was great! read more

We typically go to keke's once a month. Food is usually great and service is fine, depending on how busy they are. We were surprised today when we received our bill and were charged $3.49 for "tap water"... read more

We found KeKe's when we were waiting, before an appointment. We were glad to find a breakfast place and had hopes it wouldn't disappoint. Well, wrong. We were seated and sat for 10 minutes before we flagged someone down. Nobody had the table assigned to them. We ordered immediately and 20 minutes late our egg sandwich and omelette arrived. Then our waitress disappeared and we had to try to find her, to pay. Needless to say, we were late for our appointment. Our bill was $37!!! read more

I came in for brunch with my husband at 11 and I was told the wait was 30 minutes. We ended up being sat 1 hour later at 12 PM and once we sat down we ordered lunch and the server left only to come back 2 minutes later to tell us they are only serving breakfast that day and the hostesses should have informed us of that. We were so mad, we decided to leave and get firehouse. We could have ordered breakfast but didn't want to give keke any of our business. Definitely not going there again. read more

Great food, fast service, very clean and roomy dining experience. Harrison is a superstar!

I didn't know what to expect. Wow! Where do I begin?! We went on a very busy Sunday morning. We were seated within a reasonable time. We scored with one of the most attentive, professional and friendliest server; Jackson. He was Amazing! This was our first time dining here and there were so many delicious options on the menu, it was hard to decide. I finally decided on a combo with waffle, eggs and bacon, and a side of their home fries. Everything was the right temperature and tasted delicious. I'm "old school" when it comes to work ethics, therefore; I will take the time to express my appreciation for the rare and Outstanding Customer Service that I encounter these days! The only negative is that the restroom needed attending, so perhaps the manager should have a schedule for this, just my 2 cents. Thank you Jackson for making my first experience here so great that I will be back! read more

5 stars for today! Amazing food! Fresh and hot!Great service with no wait yes the prices are a teeny bit much but worth it! Delicious yummy soft fluffy pancakes so big I had to take leftovers home. No issues at all. read more

Let's start with this, servers are told by management "do not offer French vanilla serve half and half unless they ask". We were told specifically by the waitress. Second. 5 dollars for small side of strawberry for kids. Costs more than the actual kids meal. One refill on coffee when we finally got our check. Fries were cold. I rarely write reviews but this place was junk. Should have listened to the reviews. read more

I wish I could give it 0 stars... This place is extremely racist... I mean I get it l, it's Florida but wow. Manager is terrible as well. They were visibly upset that we were a large party. Wouldn't even sit us on the same side of the restaurant. Not together at the same table but on the side with nothing but empty booths and purposely sat everyone who came after us first... read more

Unimpressed is the best way to describe our visit. I love breakfast/brunch and had been told Keke's is very similar to First Watch. Wrong. If I had to compare Kekes to anything it would be the continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express. Nothing felt or tasted homemade. The waffles were chewy and tasted exactly like mix you buy at the grocery store. French toast was very flat and the home fries were underseasoned and bland. The place also smelled like raw meat, and we sat all the way on the other side of the restaurant from where the kitchen was. Very disappointed. I gave 2 stars because we did think the staff was good. Very friendly and helpful. Offered to remake things or get us different meals if we wanted, but overall just a unfortunate experience. Won't return. read more

I have allergies to dairy (to cows milk), gluten and nuts. That being said I do enjoy their 3 egg combo with extra crispy bacon and home fries. The home fries are gluten free. Unfortunately the feta is cows milk, not goat. Wish they had more options for people with allergies. read more

I've been here before with my family for brunch and it was sub par service but today we've gotten this new server Christian c who was very attentive, fast and checked on us periodically to ensure we were good .

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Processed turkey on the club sandwich. Not appetizing. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

I ordered the chicken and waffles, and the waffle wasn't even warm, let alone hot. My husbands "toast" was just bread. Flimsy, untoasted sandwich bread. Important to note that the place was half empty. The server let our drinks empty completely, and we had to ASK for refills the next time we were able to find her. We won't be back. read more

Hubby took me to Keke's for the first time. It had a nice decor and I looked forward to breakfast after see photos from other patrons. We ordered coffee while looking through the menu. I put cream in my coffee and it immediately turned blond which is a sign of week coffee. I still added my sugar and tasted a very watery coffee. The waiter offered to brew a fresh cup by it was worse that the first. When he put the fresh coffee down it looked like tea. I ordered the egg sandwich (over easy) with Turkey bacon. Hubby had the egg breakfast combo with sausage. The food was good, the portions were a little more than enough. The one think I didn't appreciate was that the restaurant was noticeably cold when we walked in. Additionally, there were ceiling fans all over the restaurant. We were served hot food quickly but it cooled off just as quickly. Couldn't wait to leave. read more

These guys just opened a month or so ago. We thought we'd give them a try this past Saturday. The wait was about 30 minutes at around 10:30 in the morning. Ok. The food was meh. I'm eating light so I ordered a side of bacon and silver-dollar pancakes. The pancakes had a "cooked in old grease" taste to them- hard to believe since the place is so new. My wife was super pleased to see that the menu described a new take on eggs benedict called Eggs Portabella. Needing to avoid gluten, she thought, "Wow! What a cool idea! Replacing the traditional English muffin with a portabella mushroom. She was definitely down for that plus looking forward to some hash brown potatoes. We waited for almost 15 minutes for the food to arrive- we'll cut them a little slack for that since they're newish. But when the food came, her Eggs Portabella was missing half its portion. It seems there was an accident with one of them. They promised a replacement was on its way. But... it turns out that "Eggs Portabella" mean that there are slivers of portabella mushroom beneath the eggs... and on top of an English muffin :( Her hashbrowns were just plain inedible. Undercooked potatoes inside but having the same "old grease" taste along with WAY, WAY too much pepper on the outside. When we brought it to the attention of the server, to her credit, she offered to bring some french fries or something else. She passed. She ate the Egg Portabella (singular) and left the English muffin. As we were finishing our meals, they finally brought the second half of her entree. So to sum up... Keke's, I know you guys are the new shiny penny but you're going to have to get your act together. The Metro Diner on San Jose Blvd is but 14 minutes away. And one more thing... please consider making your "Eggs Portabella" with a big portabella mushroom instead of an English muffin. A percentage of your customers will love you for it. read more

Was excited to try this fairly restaurant in the area. The restuarant itself is very clean and the employees are friendly. The food, however, is bland and overly priced. My Eggs Benedict presentation was nice, but that's where the happiness ended. The hollandaise sauce was just terrible. It had a strange tangy taste that resembled nothing if hollandaise. My husband said my simple homemade french toast tasted 100 times better than this one, it lacked flavor. My son said the waffle was dry and also lacked flavor. The home fries were not bad. read more

First time coming here. Service is fantastic with a large and attentive staff and manager. I ordered the Fajita Chicken Omelette which was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I got the brunch potatoes with the bacon and cheddar cheese. I prefer my potatoes chunked rather than scalloped, but the flavor was decent. My wife got the Eggs Benedict and said they were slightly bland and one egg was over cooked. My daughter got the chocolate chip pancake with a side of bacon. The bacon was very soft but that can also be personal preference. Will definitely come back and try another item or two. Nice, easy, quick breakfast in a simple, clean environment. read more

We have only eaten here twice and both times I ordered the exact same thing and both times they brought it to the table and it was incorrect. It's not like I am being picky...I hate tomato and I ordered the panini cheeseburger wrap NO tomato, and yet it arrives with tomato. If it was just a cheeseburger I would pop off the bun take the tomato off and be fine, but this is a panini and so I would have to peak it open and pick out every diced tomato. Ssssoooo this was the second time I was left at the table while everyone was finished eating before I even got my food. This time I didn't even eat it, I just took it to go, my husband and had to get to work and everyone at the table was done eating read more

If looking for a diner/cafe, skip this place and go to Metro Diner or the Canopy Road Cafe. For the price of the food, one would expect the potatoes to be cooked, French toast sticks to not be stale, ketchup not rationed, toast to be freshly toasted, and salt and pepper to actually be on the table - not the To-Go salt and pepper. I understand they are short staffed, but the quality of food has nothing to do with that. Service was good and food was hot (except the toast) thus the second star read more

There are a lot of bad reviews for Keke's breakfast cafe'. However, this restaurant is not as bad as the reviews say it is. Like all restaurants, there is always a bit of a wait, but at this establishment, the wait only ranges from 5-10 minutes. Maybe 15 minutes, but only if the building is very crowded. When you walk in, you will be greeted by the warm smell of brunch foods and soft music playing in the background. The atmosphere is not too cold, nor too hot, and the food is excellent! Most times, I order the "Bacon-cheeseburger". It is delicious! I highly recommend asking for cheddar instead of American cheese. The American cheese is always good, but the cheddar makes the burger seem complete. There is only one tiny thing that's not really a problem, but I would like to bring it up anyway. If you order any form of burger at Keke's, it most likely comes with a dill pickle slice. But, mistakes happen to everyone, and sometimes the cook will forget to put the pickle on the plate. If this happens, (which it has to me once), simply ask for one. Your server will be more than happy to bring you one. read more

Service was slow and food was ok. My order was wrong but they made it right after I spoke up. Check out took a long time.

I have been to Keke's a few times in Orlando . They are really good . When I see this one open , I am very excited . However it is so so .pancake we ordered tased ok . Fruit is not fresh . I didn't eat the straberries . Big disappoint ! read more

Not our first time here, today we came for brunch. We were seated in a very cold booth and asked to sit somewhere warmer. Asked for coffee while we looked at the menu. I ordered Eggs Florentine, hubby ordered the two egg breakfast, scrambled with American cheese, they only have white, so he ordered cheddar cheese, English Muffin & a side of bacon. Meals came out and mine was barely warm and I'm not a big fan of getting spinach stalks stuck in my teeth. Hubby's eggs weren't scrambled, they were flat like an omelet and the cheese was missing. Waitress said that's how they make their scrambled eggs here at Keke's. She apologized for the missing cheese and had the kitchen remake the eggs. Still an omelet, which he doesn't like. We won't be coming back, so not worth the $31 they charged. We'll go to the Waffle House instead, they know how to make perfect scrambled eggs with cheese every time! read more

Waited 25 minutes to be seated for a half full restaurant. Then waited an additional 50 minutes just for food to get to us, on top of the initial wait. Definitely didn't know we were walking into a 2 hour breakfast just unacceptable. At least the food was good like a normal Keke's. Won't be returning again read more

We like this place for having a traditional breakfast menu where everyone can get something they like without the bizarre stuff. The service is friendly and the food is fresh. Pancakes and waffles are great! Also, the coffee is excellent! If you have to wait for a table, there's a relaxing outdoor wall waterfall and the kids can play on the turf grass. It's not upscale or creative. It's tradition done right. read more

If you're looking for an "eh" culinary experience, boring atmosphere and below subpar service, come here. Our party of 5, all Keke's first timers, arrived on a busy morning and were told it was a 50 minute wait (to be expected). We killed time and finally our table buzzer went off. The hostesses told us they were cleaning off our table and we right stepped outside to wait. About a minute later, the hostess came out and said no, they buzzed us by mistake and we would have to wait longer. She was apologetic and we get it, mistakes happen. HOWEVER, as a new place in a hospitality driven industry, they should have honored the buzz in and sat us accordingly. We proceeded to wait for almost 10 more minutes (over the original 50 minute wait) and decided to step into the air conditioning. My brother in law, who works in HR and knows management well, politely asked the hostess if they could honor their mistake or give us a discount. The manager came over and said that he didn't have the authority to give a discount and offered us a fruit cup. Needless to say, we declined. He then agreed to take something off of the bill (odd being that he apparently didn't have the authority) but we accepted. We were finally seated and had an okay experience with the waitress, although we witnessed another waitress standing around talking to old friends and counted about 5 empty tables when there was a huge wait outside. That's a little frustrating. The manager from earlier avoided us while we ate, walking past us about 20 times without checking in or even looking our way. Let me also clarify that we hadn't been rude or caused a scene, just politely asked if they could take responsibility for the mistakes. Anyway, he came over at the end and simply said he had taken a 10% discount off the bill and walked away. From my perspective as a graduate with a degree in Hospitality Management, here's what should have happened: the hostess should have said we mistakenly buzzed you but I'm going to ask my manager if we can go ahead and honor that. If they couldn't have, the manager should have apologized and offered a discount or reward, and once we were seated he should have come to see how everything was. Simple as that! It wasn't a big deal until they all acted dodgy and rude about it. Strive to make your customers happy. That's it. The food was okay enough to get a two star review, but still nothing special (I can cook a better breakfast meal at home). The waffle and home fries were pretty good, but the eggs were cold and toast burnt. Moral of the story, it was super mediocre and we won't be going back. read more

I just wanted to take a minute to thank Madison for making our mid-day brunch a joy. The Philly cheese omelet was perfect The check in and wait for a text is a great idea. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

First of all the food was pretty good. Waffle was flavorful and potatoes are good. Coffee is very weak. The waitress was pleasant and attentive. Hostess was friendly enough but far from what you would expect to walk into. Not sure she wanted to be there. As for the decor...there was nearly none. I was so disappointed in the atmosphere for a place in Durbin. Maybe a couple photos and that's it. Nothing on tables or walls too much. Did not get that great morning breakfast vibe you hope for. They really need to decorate and ask everyone to perk up a bit. read more

Megi was such a sweet server! Love Keke's-this is a great, relaxing place to grab grub!

The first time we visited Keke's Cafe, we ordered banana nut pancakes and shared because the portions are so large. We really enjoyed the pancakes and have been back several times for breakfast. My daughter always asks to go there with us when she comes home for college breaks. If you don't mind waiting 15-20 minutes for a table, you will find it worth the wait. Service is great, food quality is excellent and at a good value for your buck! Highly recommend! read more

This place is okay. The location in particular is not so great, but who trained the back waiters/bussers to use windex when cleaning tables!? Like ive never seen such odd work done. And one dude sprayed the windex for like 3 minutes straight on one table while cleaning it. What r they putting in the water out here!? Server was good Kitchen was slow Altogether a weird experience read more
