I like to find new places to go with my retired teacher friends each month. After seven years, that is getting harder and harder to do. I actually used Perplexity and asked for a list of venues that would meet our needs. Then, I read more about them on their websites. I liked what I saw at Kerbey Lane. They had some unusual offerings and a large selection of gluten free choices. The restaurant sits right on 1604. There is plenty of parking in front of it. The dining room was clean and comfortable. At 1:30, when our group went, the lunch rush was pretty much over, and we were led to a large table in the middle. Our server was a cheerful young lady who knew the menu well and was very helpful. Her description of their nitro cold press coffee given to one of my friends enticed me to have one as well. It was very delicious. The coffee was strong and robust with a hint of sweetness from the vanilla cream on the top. They actually have this coffee on tap like beer. Several items on the menu caught my eye. I wasn't sure which one I was going to have until the very moment I ordered. My choice was their Kimchi Beef. It was a large piece of bulgogi flavored steak covered with kimchi, slivers of raw carrot, and other vegetables with a light sauce of some kind. It made me think of a Thai meat salad, although the meat wasn't chopped. It was fresh and delicious. I was pretty busy conversating with my friends, so I don't really know what all they had. I do know that one of them had the special green tomato BLT. She really liked it, but would have liked the bacon to be more crisp. It looked exactly the way I like it- especially on sandwiches. Another friend had a giant salad of some kind on field greens. She raved about it the whole time she was eating. I am pretty sure that everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. With the good food, awesome server, and very pleasant ambiance, I am sure that many of us will be coming back. One of our group even commanded me to put Kerbey Lane on the rotation for next year. read more

Easy 5 stars! I don't know how this place has only 3.5 stars. I have been here multiple times, and the service is always excellent, with the food tasting great. There's easy parking, the ambiance is wonderful, and the place is clean. The staff is friendly and ample enough to cover every customer. Overall, this place should have at least 4 to 4.5 stars. Sabrina P was my excellent server read more

I visited Kerbey Lane Cafe for the first time and had mixed feelings. On the positive side, the restaurant was very clean and spacious, and my iced salted caramel latte was quite good. However, the service and food were a bit of a letdown. Even though the restaurant was mostly empty, we waited 10-15 minutes to be seated--likely a staffing issue. The "Carrot Cake" pancake of the month was bland and very tough to cut. As for the main course, my Crispy Chicken Benedict was okay, but the chile verde sauce was surprisingly sour rather than spicy. The candied bacon was soggy and had an off-putting aftertaste. My husband's Kerbey Lane Combo was also underwhelming; the breakfast potatoes were mostly crumbs, appearing like the end of a previous batch. Given the long wait for the food to arrive, I was expecting a much higher quality. read more

I always love visiting Kerbey Lane Cafe when I am visiting San Antonio. Their service is always friendly and fast. We enjoyed a cloudy in the patio with our pet and enjoyed the environment.

1st visit at Kerbey lane cafe and it was great. We went during their happy hour and they had a great cocktail list. They have a broad menu and a separate menu for gluten friendly options , their most popular dish seems to be the steak frites so I got it and it was amazing I definitely want to return and try the salmon coconut curry. Our server was Penny and she was great and very friendly and helpful with the menu and any questions we had. I'd love to return! read more

I stopped by the San Antonio location yesterday during the afternoon, and it was the perfect time to go! The place was super empty, which made for a very chill and relaxed vibe. The Highlights * Speedy Service: Since it wasn't crowded, the food came out incredibly fast. * Attentive Staff: The service was great--they really stayed on top of everything, especially with the drink refills. * The Spread: I went with the classic Biscuits, Eggs, Sausage & Gravy--the peppered gravy is exactly the kind of comfort food I was craving. We also had to get the Kerbey Queso (you can't skip the guac and pico) and a side of Deviled Eggs topped with that crispy prosciutto. Why You Should Go If you're looking for that scratch-made, "thoughtfully-sourced" comfort food without the crazy weekend wait times, an afternoon visit is definitely the way to do it. It's a San Antonio staple in the making! #KerbeyLane #SanAntonioEats #SATXFoodie #ComfortFood #KerbeyQueso read more

I met a friend for lunch here and we were both happy with the ambience, service and food for the most part. I had the harvest chicken with glazed brussel sprouts and thought it was pretty good. I tried different flavors of tea, though, and never found one that was to my liking. Kudos to the waitress who was super patient as I tried to find one that I thought was good. They do give large portions so I had lunch for another day thanks to leftovers. It is actually a very nice looking restaurant and my friend and I both agree we would most likely return. read more

I was shocked that the SA Kerbey Lane restaurant was so much fancier than the two locations in Austin. The newly renovated modern and clean interior of the restaurant made for a great setting. Our server seemed a little disgruntled that we had a large party but she was very professional throughout the experience. The food was all delicious. Really great flavor for the salmon and brussel sprouts. The pancakes weren't as good as the ones I've had from the Austin Kerbeys but they were still very good. Will definitely be back to try other parts of the menu! read more

The service was lackluster. The waitress was unhelpful. Stick with breakfast. I had a dinner entree and it was meh. Went late in the afternoon and absolutely no one was there so I expected for the food to be quick and the waitress attentive. Neither. I don't know what all the hype is about. Won't be back. Not for me at least. read more

Kerbey Lane was a staple for me throughout my college years in Austin - always reliable and tasty though the wait has gotten significantly longer since then. This Kerbey Lane is by the Rim but it can get a little difficult to find parking/you will probably miss a turn the first time you go. I highly recommend coming in around 10-11 am on Sundays to beat the brunch rush, it gets crazy packed here. Our breakfasts were delicious - I love the classic eggs Benny, my husband originally wanted oatmeal but the breakfast smell made him change his mind to a classic breakfast plate instead. I've always had just breakfast here. I'll need to swing by in the afternoon because the lunch/dinner menu looks interesting. Def a nice place to check out before your shopping trip at the Rim :) read more

Stopped by for breakfast at 9am on Mother's Day before our Blood Bank donation appt. One of the Season offerings was the FRIED GREEN TOMATO EGGS BENEDICT which is 2 of my favorite things combined into 1 dish, so I definitely had to order them. Sadly, I was informed they were out of them already? It's was only 9am, even tho it was Mother's Day, the restaurant wasn't busy yet and had plenty of open seating both inside and outside (they do have a great covered patio for those who like to dine outdoors) so I was extremely disappointed that the special wasn't available and opted for the Chicken Verde Omelet with choice of 2 sides (I opted for the black beans and sweet potatoes - both dishes I would order again on their own , especially the sweet potatoes as they were so good it almost made up for my disappointment on not getting the Fried Green Tomato Eggs Benedict! Almost... My boyfriend chose the Breakfast Platter which consisted of 2 eggs any style , two 1/2 size pancakes, choice of bacon, sausage or seasonal fruit. Unfortunately he ordered his eggs over easy and received over medium. Rather then send them back to be redone, he would rather eat them and not "complain" (in his words), but he actually does complain when he mentions he wasn't terribly happy with his meal. I said, if you'd have had your eggs redone you would've receive the meal you ordered and would have been happy (even tho it would've taken 2min longer to redo the eggs!). This is the 2nd time we have had breakfast there, the 1st time went off with a hitch, this time we had a couple hiccups but all in all I would still recommend this restaurant as they have a great menu, the food tastes great and the staff ( although slow at times) are extremely friendly and welcoming. And something high on my list of important things when dining out, they had an "A" health score! That is always first and foremost before I will try an establishment. If it isn't listed on Yelp before we go, when we arrive that is the first thing I check before we order anything at a new establishment! I would definitely recommend Kerby Lane Cafe if you are looking to try something new! (They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner!) read more

The restaurant is very clean and inviting. We went on a Thursday morning, so there was zero wait time. The servers were friendly and quick. The food was overall good, but would not recommend the avocado toast. They also have a variety of coffees and variety of other brunch beverages. We will go again. read more

The peppermint mocha was heavenly! It was the perfect hot holiday drink while on vacation. The pumpkin French toast was thick, moist, and very pumpkiny. Yum! I always order my bacon extra crispy and they did not disappoint. I love when restaurants have season menus. The fall season is my favorite and I have to take in as much pumpkin spice everything while it lasts. The combination of my breakfast with a holiday peppermint drink was the best! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. read more

Delicious food, cool atmosphere. Definitely coming back for lunch/brunch in the near future.

I went here for brunch for a friend's birthday. We were seated right away but unfortunately it took us over 30 minutes to order our food. Our server brought us our drinks but then was working the bar and had many other tables besides us. If we had known we should have ordered our food at the same time we ordered our drinks. I tried the Texas Benedict. The steak and eggs were cooked nicely and I liked the queso on top but felt like the ratio to cornbread was off. I feel like this review is skewed for me as it was difficult to enjoy my food after waiting so long to order and then again for our food to come out. Hangry was happening! However the food was tasty. At the end of the meal our server gave us coupons to come back to try dinner. If I come back I'll make sure to order my drink and food at the same time. read more

The Lemon Poppy Seed French toast was excellent. The Migas was also very tasty. I got it with the verde salsa. I would've liked a little bit more sauce. The service is great. We were seated quickly. The bathrooms are super small and cramped. We'll definitely be back to try more. read more

We popped in for lunch on Tuesday. It wasn't busy, which was nice, but I took quite a while to receive a welcome greeting and to be seated. It then took a while to have our order taken. Our server Kimberly was so friendly and we appreciated her cheerful attitude. My wife and I got Wagyu bacon cheeseburgers with fries and they were awesome! My son and wife are both gluten free and they had a full gluten free menu, which was nice for our family. Food was wonderful and service was friendly. Very slow service overall. read more

Nice All Day Cafe near my daughter's house. Always good to find a place you can order quality breakfast food all day long. My daughter had cinnamon roll pancakes with side of eggs & bacon. Very happy with taste and amount, she took half of it home. I had their seasonal steak frites and it was cooked perfectly. We both fell in love with the Parmesan truffle fries that came with it. Definitely get your moneys worth as our bill was under $20/person. A place we'll return too. (only reason they didn't get 5 stars is our server was nice, but slow to refill drinks & bring check.) read more

Never a bad meal. The chumps giving less than 4-star reviews must be hungover or upset about the traffic around it (which is warranted). Comfort food but with a blend of unique ingredients like Mac n cheese with green chile sauce or the Howdy Burger with Waygu beef patties, BBQ sauce, cheddar, cole slaw, and pickled jalapenos. Our last visit had something new-a chai mule cocktail! I was speculative but the drink removed all doubts. Darn good. My waitress was also the bartender with 20 years making cocktails. Highly recommended for those of you who've had everything and are seeking something new. Oh and the music is a plus with recognizable tunes you can hum too. read more

Went for a late Sunday brunch after church. It is a nice casual cafe on the edge of the Rim. Service was pretty quick and our waitress was really nice and patient with us. My food was fantastic. I had the Kerbey Lane Combo and everything tasted fabulous. They gave a ton of home fries (breakfast potatoes) and I loved the pancakes. Also really liked you can add cinnamon swirl to any pancake for free (I added this to my blueberry pancakes. Everything tasted fabulous and I would definitely go back. read more

Needed a quick bite before leaving San Antonio. It was 3 pm and hubby was craving breakfast food, while I wanted lunch. Kerby lane accommodated both of our taste buds by having an all day breakfast menu. Had a lovely waitress who helped with the selections for our food. I had the boss burger which was well seasoned and paired well with their chipotle mayo sauce. Sweet potatoes fries were crisp and sweet. The golden glow juice was pretty good. What it came in a bigger cup for the price. Overall, very reasonable price for the amount of food. Restaurant was clean, not too pleased with the restroom. read more

Driving down from Fredericksburg to see a show and we stopped in at our favorite Austin staple last Friday night! We got there 30 min before close and the host promptly and kindly sat us. Our server was super sweet and we ordered everything at once. The Honey Butter Cinnamon coffee (latte?) was amazing, I've been making them at home ever since we had it. Started with the cowboy queso because how can you not have it when at Kerbey?! I got my favorite David's Enchiladas with chicken- they did not disappoint. Husband had The Kerbey Lane Combo with his pancakes upgraded with the cinnamon swirl. Better service than we've had at Austin locations. Everyone had a smile on their face and the restaurant was well taken care of and clean. We left very happy and full. read more

When I'm in Austin, Kerbey Lane was one of my go-to's. If you're expecting the charm of the original KL locations at this San Antonio location, you'll be disappointed. I tried coming a few other times when it first opened, yet the first time I was told that their online reservation was only working on certain days and I had to call. The second time I tried, I was not willing to wait 45 minutes for a table. I waited months, and on a weekday morning, knew that my chance of getting a table was high. I was able to reserve a table, and since my family didn't arrive right when the table was ready, I had to respond that we were on our way. When we arrived, we waited briefly for our table. The waitstaff was attentive, yet I wouldn't label it as friendly. My family placed their order, yet we brought in jackets and hoodies to stay warm since the restaurant was frigid inside. The coffee tasted okay, yet it nothing to rave about. My child was provided a kid's menu and colors, and this was one of the few times they weren't interested in it. When our food arrived, it was decent for a breakfast restaurant. I am sad that I couldn't order the Lemon Poppyseed pancakes I usually get at Kerbey Lane. I'm still not sure why they weren't available. I settled for Blueberry pancakes, which were good. I also ordered the Harvest Omelet. I'm glad I ordered a side of Hollandaise sauce since the omelet lacked flavor. My husband thought his meal was okay and the Chocolate Chip pancakes were good. My child didn't care for the black beans on their bean and cheese taco, and only ate the fruit. They've been raised on pinto beans in their tacos, so black beans were out of their comfort zone. If you want breakfast at Kerbey Lane, you could come to the San Antonio location, yet aside from knowing you were at KL, it could have been easily reamed with another restaurant's branding and you'd wouldn't know the difference. The ambience that made KL different is most definitely lacking in this San Antonio location. read more

When Kerbey Lane opened in San Antonio, I was looking forward to trying it out. I have great memories of the original Austin one with its excellent coffee and delicious pancakes. It took a while, but we finally were able to eat here. Located on 1604, it is easy to reach and has a very welcoming set up. It has a very open set up with lots of lighting. The servers were friendly and quick food. I had the Breakfast Platter, which included two half size pancakes, two eggs, and either bacon, sausage or fruit for $11.29. I felt the prices were a bit higher than I have seen for egg and pancakes in other spots. Also the portions were on the smaller side. The food was tasty, but this is not the Austin Kerbey Lane I remember. It did not have the iconic feel of the one in Austin. Still, worth a try if one wants a quick breakfast and good service. read more

Been going to Kerby Lane (in Austin) for over 10 yrs - typically always delicious. This experience was lacking, the waitress had a crappy demeanor about her and the GF pancakes were dry they tasted as though I was chewing on cardboard. Spoke to the manager about the inedible pancakes he was very polite and understanding. Removed the charge from our bill. Needless to say for future reference I'll wait to enjoy Kerby Lane when visiting Austin. read more

I'm always excited to check out new spots that have opened up near me. This review dates back to about a year ago when they were first opening, but long overdue! They didn't have their new sign up at the time, but the place was clean and open, with a lot of customers. Staff did a great job at being accommodating and getting everyone seated in an orderly fashion. Service was quick as well. As for the food, unfortunately for me, it fell below my usual brunch and breakfast mark. Not bad, but definitely nothing worthy to notice. With competing aesthetic brunch restaurants, I'm more likely to go elsewhere considering my inner-20s self! That being said, I know they're known for the queso and pancakes, neither of which I had gotten! So maybe that's the secret? I wouldn't mind going back again read more

Austin locations made me very excited to visit this location since I live in San Antonio. Very underwhelming and disappointing visit. There's several servers behind the bar just standing around and waiting for a table, this is my understanding after sitting at the bar top. The service was friendly but also very slow. I noticed an employee sit at the breakfast counter to eat their breakfast and all servers focused their attention on them whilst several guests would get up and ask for condiments or extra stuff for their tables. The food was sad. No flavor, over cooked eggs and hard rice. My server handed me my ticket and immediately said they would take card or cash, when I wasn't ready to checkout. I still wanted to order mimosas. This place gets 2 stars for their happy hour prices. read more

Good service but the food was not good. I ordered the Kerbey Lane Platter - eggs, bacon or sausage, pancakes and potatoes, you can't go wrong with that. WRONG. the sausage tasted so bad, they were dry and tasted like cardboard. The pancakes were tiny, it looked like a kids meal and they were dry as well, looked like they had been sitting out. Syrup was not even able to salvage the taste of those pancakes. Unfortunately, I don't think I would come back to give this place another try. Two stars for service. read more
