Great breakfast spot! Very close to the freeway (Imperial Ecit on 90) if youbare looking for a pit stop on the way out if town. They also serve lunch, dinner and cocktails. This place is huge. Lots of seating and a very large parking lot. There are two sides, the Cafe (diner) and the Lounge. Both sides have comfy booths, most are large semi-circles. The lounge side is very cool and has a sunken seating area with a fireplace. 40 years in business and still going strong! We were pleasantly surprised to find no wait upon arrival. However, theybdo have a waitlist on their website to join if needed. We were promptly seated and after we ordered, our food came out so fast. Very solid breakfast date with many options on their extensive menu! Also additional specials! I ordered French Toast Combo with two eggs and sausage. Loved the sausage! My husband orderd the three egg California Omelet and loved it. I tried his potatoes, excellent. Staff is very friendly. Our server Fernando was excellent, patient and attentive! read more

Crazy to think this place is always packed with their prices and food quality /portions! I purchased a chicken quesadilla yesterday , and it was honestly one of the most disappointing meals I've had. It was the smallest quesadilla I've ever been served, it was extremely soggy, and the chicken was dry. For $23, I expected much better quality and portion size. This experience did not meet expectations, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. Update: Ended up getting food poisoning, Steve please check cameras and watch those cooks ASAP! read more

630 pm, Saturday, June 06, 2026 I had never been to Keno's Restaurant. I read this place is famous for it's Tomahawk and other cuts of beef. I called earlier at noonish to ask for a reservation but they don't typically have anything for same day. It's recommended to call at least a day ahead. The parking lot was busy, more available spaces towards the back. Unfortunately, 630 pm was a very popular time to be at Keno's when we arrived. The lobby was very busy for customers wanting to eat in the "Lounge". 7-730pm seemed like a better time as most of the diners had been seated. OMG is it busy for 630 dinner service! It was a 35 minute wait to be seated at the "Lounge" or immediate seating at the cafe side. We were seated in the cafe after a short wait. The hostess told the waiter to seat us right away at a small table. But it seemed the waiter didn't hear or understand, completely ignored her and walked away. Another couple, behind us, kindly pointed out that we were still waiting to the hostess. Hmm, not the attention to detail that I expected from the staff. We'll see how the other service turns out. We were seated at a tiny table near the counter and given the diner and the lounge menus. These guys do not wait for everyone's dinner as my 20 oz Steve's Cut Prime Rib dinner $42.99 came out after 20 minutes. Underwhelming delivery by a runner, no smile, no announcement, just set down the dinner plate and the toppings for the baked potato. No enjoy your dinner, nothing. How can this be that a 20 oz prime rib dinner comes out before the 3 Keno's Sliders appetizer??? Kinda backwards isn't it? Isn't there a kitchen manager controlling and timing these appetizers and entrees? I felt that my steak should have been delayed and been served hot at the same time as the 20 oz Bone-in C. A. B. Ribeye dinner $48.98 that my son ordered. There's a lot of room for improvements all around. Expected a lot more from Keno's overall. read more

Super busy cafe with a Vegas vibe. I sat at the counter rather than wait for a table. Initial service was slow, but they were quite busy on a Sunday morning. I enjoyed a traditional American breakfast of 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and biscuit with sausage gravy on the side. Everything was tasty, including my iced coffee. read more

Keno's has a fantastic Prime Rib dinner seasoned perfectly. Homemade salad dressings (ranch & blue cheese are my favorites) Delicious patty melt and for dessert the tapioca pudding is absolutely delightful (hands down the best) The only downside is the "LOUNGE", it has become a child care facility with many customers bringing in their screaming kids & babies which RUINS the ambiance of an adult lounge when there is a diner side which is appropriately suited for families. I Hope Keno's reconsiders allowing children in the bar Lounge. read more

Located in Anaheim Hill next to Armstrongs. Lots of inside seating. Came for lunch on a Thursday and was seated promptly. Server was quick in taking our order and friendly. Lots of menu items. Breakfast lunch and dinner choices. - Steak and Eggs - Ruben Melt; lots of meat and not too salty but flavorful - Chicken Gumbo: little on the watery side and taste like gumbo / minestrone - Split Pea Soup; nice flavor Good value for food that's quick and cheap. read more

We stopped into keno's last night and enjoyed their Wednesday lasagna special. We absolutely love the lasagna they prepare. The drink drinks are also great here. The service is always over the top even when they're very busy. They keep up with the tables. The inside is still a cool little place to hang out at the bar area. It is like a step back in time. What a great place you have to give them a try if you haven't already. They are that good. read more

This is a restaurant we come to every few years. It's nice restaurant with a bar. I ordered the Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. The waitress was friendly and helpful as was all the staff. Our order came out quickly and looked great. I was a little bit disappointed in the sandwich. It doesn't have much flavor. The coleslaw was okay, it was about average. Overall it's a restaurant that is worth checking out if you haven't been before. read more

What a gem we found. We drive by it and wanted to try there cuz it just looked interesting. We came in, theres one side diner and the other side seems like an old Vegas feel. The menu is big. They have specials every day. Also a tomahawk special I believe weds-sun? I could be wrong. The waitress recommended the fried chicken and it was amazing! Husband got the prime rib and he said he would get it again. Fried and onion rings were good. We would like to come again for the tomahawk! read more

Eaten here 100's of times for breakfast. So when your friend says "let's go for a steak dinner", why not. $27.99 for soup or salad, a Strip steak, potatoes and vegetables. Not such a bad idea. And quite honestly better than most steak houses at 5x the price. Delicious salad, extremely crisp lettuce: generous size. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Baked Potatoes with all the trimmings right on point. And perfectly seasoned veggies. Having worked 12+years in steak houses, I'd say Keno's is a hidden gem. And I can't how many times my steaks have been under seasoned and overcooked at major steak houses. So is their steakhouse Tue-sat at nite in the bar! Simple. No frills. No BS. Just deliciousness. read more

Keno's has become my family's favorite since moving to the area 3 years ago. We always ask to be seated in Sarah's section - she's simply the best. Personable, kind, attentive.. and her attention to detail is great. Never misses a request for a refill or extra sauce. Bonus: she treats my kids so well and talks to them like little adults. My 4 year old loves the food and the service so much, she asks to go here all the time.. not Keno's but Miss Sarah's. And everytime my wife gets a craving for steak, the prime rib here is a foregone conclusion. We've recommended Keno's to friends and family and they've all loved it as well. Such a gem of a place! read more

Keno's Restaurant - Sausage and eggs classic - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

This may be my favorite diner in Anaheim. It's a very large American comfort food diner that specializes in breakfast and lunch. We stopped in for our first time for breakfast and had a great meal. Inside is very large with many different types of seating from booths to counter to table and is divided into many different areas. Even though it was very crowded, we did not have to wait at all to be seated for a party of two. There is a very large free parking lot attached so there were plenty of spaces available when we arrived. Our server was really polite and everything that we ordered arrived shortly after ordering it. The menu is very large and has a lot of great options on it. It took me a while to decide what I wanted, but I chose one of the specials for the day. I went with the Short Rib Eggs Benedict and thought it was really great. There were some fatty pieces that I had to cut off and did not want to eat, but aside from that it had some great flavors and instead of having the English muffin on the bottom, the base was hashbrowns, which was an interesting version of the traditional Benedict. Overall, I really liked it and I would recommend ordering it if available. We had a great breakfast and I already want to come back again to try more items so I would recommend to anyone in or passing through Anaheim. read more

HEY STEVE!! APRIL 1st UPDATE TO YOUR LAST COMMENT RESPONSE:: I saw your comment sorry they upset you but did you happen to look at my pictures that I included? You could be as pissed off as you want about the comments I made about management staff, but why don't you explain the quality of the food I received? The pictures are the evidence!!! LET'S GET THIS FIXED!!! READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO SEE MY IDEAS FOR IMPROVING!! I decided to try New York steak and eggs breakfast from your place today and the pictures show the result!! SOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING !! HOW HARD IS IT?? The steak was ordered medium rare and I doublecheck that the ticket said medium rare, which it did. You can see the results here, most noticeably the nice, deep, dark marks on my steak from a Press.!! Why do I have to use a Press on a medium rare steak?? What's obvious is you're cooking staff is screwing you behind your back putting out CRAP food with no attention to detail unless their hands are caught in the pie so to speak. It's also obvious that whoever the managers are there, that not much oversight is being paid to how the food is being cooked and sent out, in particular, in particular!!! to to-go orders.!!! This doesn't happen inside Keno's, this happens with to go orders and I am really tired of it!! So I've made my point, but I have a suggestion to try to improve things , actually a two part suggestion: First, print up a bunch of simple 3 x 5 cards (3 x 5 so they're not just a small slip of paper and a card because it has weight and texture) On this card write a note to the customer stating that the food they receive should be absolutely the best, in both quality and flavour, and if they receive a to-go order that is not they should be calling you or going on YELP and putting a complaint in -- and then sign your name so you own it!! That is a great credibility move and I know how passionate you are your restaurant. It's time to get past these underlings that are just not doing the job but still getting the paycheck. Secondly, at least for the near future, you don't have to announce it publicly but you can keep it privately, have a manager inspect every to go order on their shift and sign the back of that 3 x 5 card I was talking above, "inspected by" and LEGIBLY print his name so we know who he / she is. When you place ownership on the rest of the management team to get the product out the door correctly, the attention to detail and the emphasis on quality can't help but roll downhill!!! And please, no refunds or credits - I ate the food. It wasn't the best and I'm hoping you can help me to improve it. Thank you read more

Their food quality really depends on the day, and recently they aren't good anymore. Today I ordered Fried chicken, and the texture is like a cardboard box and no flavor. I don't know what i was eating. I believe they still have chicken night. I think they make chicken once a week and microwave the leftovers. I don't know, but it's that bad. But I remember their waiters were nice, but I barely got there anymore. read more

I have to give this meal four stars because of the value. It's a half a chicken with sides and soup or salad for 12 bucks on Tuesdays. And the fried chicken is good. My favorite was the mashed potatoes which had their own garlic butter flavor, even without the country gravy on top. I liked the salad too. The dressing seemed like it was made in the house and the lettuce was very fresh. The service was beyond expectations, but I think we just got lucky with our server. You can eat in the dining room or the lounge and that night it seemed like the lounge was more popular. I recommend this particular meal on this particular night. read more

We had such a great experience thanks to Vanessa A. From the moment we sat down, she was genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming. You can tell when someone is just "doing the job" versus actually caring about the customer experience, and Vanessa absolutely cared. She stayed on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed, had a great attitude the entire time, and made the whole meal feel smooth and enjoyable. Little things matter in hospitality, and she nailed all of them. Friendly, professional, patient, and just overall excellent service. Restaurants can have great food, but great servers are what people remember. Vanessa A was one of those servers. We'll definitely be back, and we hope to sit in her section again read more

For as many years as I have driven past Keno's Restaurant, I never really considered eating here always thinking it was your typical Mom & Pop coffee shop that was popular with the area locals. Recently I saw a social media posting about Keno's Lounge which harkened back to the days of the old school steak houses back in the day and that still exist in some of your largest metropolitan cities (Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, etc.). But what intrigued me the most was Keno's Tomahawk Steak for two at a reasonable price. I told my wife and she was excited to Keno's too. Since we were interested in trying a Tomahawk entree as well as their prime rib entree, I was unsure if the restaurant had separate menus, one for the coffee shop side and one for the lounge, since many Yelp postings indicated that they ordered their Tomahawks in the lounge area. I was very impressed with the attentiveness and speed with the response I received from the owner of Keno's, Steve C. just minutes after I posted my question on Keno's Yelp profile Q&A asking if there are separate menus for the lounge and restaurant. Steve graciously responded by indicating that "we offer all menus in both the lounge and coffee shop, including our full bar menu!" Well, that response sealed our decision for our Pre-Mother's Day & Pre-Birthday dinner celebration! My wife, youngest son and I stopped by on the Saturday night before Mother's Day around 1700 hours. The parking lot is spacious and it was already half full. We went in and were immediately greeted by young male host who advised us that the if we ordered the Tomahawk and Prime Rib in the coffee shop area, our entrees may be served quicker than in the lounge, which I observed walking in, was quite busy already. BTW, the lounge is literally to the right of the cash register area, past the CA Lottery machines. Our friendly host showed us to our booth which was spacious and comfortable. The coffee shop dining area was starting to fill up as well. Within minutes, our server, Taylor G., arrived at our booth and took out drink order first, then returned to take our orders. We ordered: 1-Tomahawk Steak (32 oz.) for two $79.99; 1-Steve's Cut Prime Rib of Beef (20 oz.) $42.99 2-Caesar Salads (shown on receipt as one Dinner Salad $7.99) 3-Soft Drinks $11.07 Pre-tip Total with Tax: $153.05 Our two Caesar salads arrived. Honestly not the best. Not very cold, a little too light on the dressing that lacked any real Caesar type flavor profile. We don't like to waste food, but it was difficult to finish. The main attractions soon were served. A beautiful looking Tomahawk steak sizzling away on cast serving platter placed on a wooden cutting/serving board with two beautiful oven baked potatoes accompanied by some of the best grilled veggies (broccolini and baby carrots) we have ever tasted in a restaurant! The Tomahawk was cooked to our medium rare request, with just the right amount of salt. It was more than enough for two fairly hungry adults (think 2-16 oz. steaks). For the price at Keno's it was a tasty, affordable Tomahawk. Yes, there are much better prime cuts out there, but your price point will be a lot higher too. The grilled veggies were awesome! Wish we had more on our serving board. We were too stuffed to eat our baked potatoes but they came with whipped butter, sour cream and chopped green onions for toppings. Our son tried to devour his 20 oz. prime rib, also presented as requested medium rare. It was a very nice looking piece of beef, with all the same grilled veggies and a baked potato also. Our son normally doesn't eat the fat on prime rib anywhere, but for some reason, Keno's prime rib cut enticed him to do so. At first time patrons of Keno's, we were all very impressed with the menu selections offered, the attentive and friendly service from the entire Keno's staff we interacted with and the really great tasting food at a reasonable price. We will definitely be returning to try other tempting entrees on all of their menus! read more

My family has been coming to Keno's for over 20 years. My kids practically grew up here, enjoying Sunday morning breakfasts and quick dinners between sports practices. Keno's has always been a place we could count on, and while we've seen many new faces over the years, I wanted to recognize four employees who consistently make every visit enjoyable. Renee, Roman, Fernando, and Canseco truly stand out. Canseco is always on the move, helping wherever he's needed while making sure customers are well taken care of. His work ethic and positive attitude never go unnoticed. Roman and Fernando are both incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They consistently make sure our orders are accurate, arrive promptly, and that we have everything we need. Renee always goes above and beyond. She greets us as soon as she sees us, makes us feel genuinely welcome, and pays attention to the little details that make a big difference. One thing we especially appreciate is that she makes sure our toast arrives with the rest of the meal. It may seem like a small thing, but there's nothing worse than getting your eggs and then waiting several minutes for your toast. Her attention to detail and excellent service really set her apart. These four employees are a big part of why we continue coming back to Keno's year after year. Along with consistently great food, they create the welcoming atmosphere that has made Keno's such a valued part of the community for so many years. Thank you for having such a wonderful team--we truly appreciate them. read more
