    When we walked in we were greeted with a nice welcome and smiling face. There was no wait, we were shown right to our table. After being seated our waiter took our drink orders and got them to us promptly. Once we had our drinks he took our food order. This was our first visit so I had a few questions about different items on the menu. He gladly explained everything. All of our food was great. We will definitely go back if we are in the area again.

    Delicious! Compliments to the cook(s). Plus, our server was great. It’s nice to go eat somewhere, and have your server be great at their job, and have a sense of humor as well. Good options and good prices.

    My favorite breakfast place! We get the delicious banana sttuffed french toasts, chocolate chip pancakes and 2 different kind of omelettes. Everything tasted awesome, eventhough the restaurant was full the service was fast and friendly.

    I got an omelet and it was great! My Dad got The French Toast combo and enjoyed it. The wait for the food was a little while but I understand with it being July 4th. Our server was really great. Her name was “Fallen” and she was very attentive and helpful as this was our first time at the restaurant. I will definitely be back here for breakfast and I may need to come back sometime and try their lunch menu!

    Greeted immediately and seated quickly. Waitress was attentive. Food exceeded expectations. Restaurant and restroom were impeccably clean. We highly recommend.

    Food was great and the restaurant was very clean, Other than that I was disappointed. This is supposed to be a renowned breakfast restaurant with good reviews. it’s November and the restaurant was freezing at 8 o’clock in the morning. I tried to order grits but they did not have grits. That’s very strange being a breakfast labeled restaurant in Central Florida. The same is true for sausage gravy. It is not on the menu and they do not have it. This restaurant seems to cater to higher end clients and not a value breakfast as you would expect. it was over $20 to have a two egg breakfast with two bacon, home fries and toast and a cup of coffee & small orange juice. So if you’re expecting a traditional, southern breakfast restaurant, don’t come to this one. I couldn’t understand why they had the restaurant so cold, but when I sat down on my table, it felt like it was colder than my refrigerator at home. Only real reason to do this is to get people in and out as quickly as possible so you can turn over tables quickly. That means they make more money which means they’re more interested in making money than making the client comfortable. I gave the review three stars because the food was good and well-made service was good and the restaurant was clean.

    I took my daughter here for birthday brunch. I'm not sure if we showed up after the rush hour was done it was really quiet when we walked in there was nobody at the front attending and when we finally saw a waiter he just looked at us and walked by I'm sure because he wasn't the one attending the front but it was very rude of him for him to be an employee there and not greet customers that are just standing there feeling awkward because nobody has addressed them, by the time the hosts came she didn't even greet us either she just grabbed some menus and said right this way at that point I didn't even want to stay there to eat but thankfully the wader that we got turned things around for us he was very kind and attentive to our needs I would definitely request him if I went back! The food was delicious but I'm just not sure if it's worth the front door service.

    Haven't been here for a few years. Food is still great, atmosphere is good. Food took a little longer to come out than expected, I'm guessing it's because of mother's day. Again food is amazing. Staff is very hard working and you can tell they care about their customers. One out favorite places for breakfast.

  • 5/5 Glo S. 1 year ago on Google
    This has to be the best breakfast joint Ive been to in a long time ! They are well known for their pancakes and take pride in making them! I'm not from this neck of the woods but would most certainly come back for the food and amazing service. Which by the way was only a 8 min wait! MAC was amazing and really made us feel welcomed and well attended.

  • 5/5 Innocent 10 months ago on Google
    When we arrived it was a 10 min wait it actually seemed quick though. We didn't get the server name but he was kind and busy. We sat across from the restroom and he had a table of 14 so we definitely understand that we may have to wait a second. All the servers helped him out and our food cam out super quick. We got the Pina colada stuffed french toast, turkey bacon and sausage with tomato slices on the side. We also ordered the breakfast salad which is my favorite (yogurt fruit granola and honey) banana nut pancakes with bacon and egg.

    Our server was an absolute rock star, but the food was just ok. Got an omlette and there was so much onion in it, I could barely eat it. It would have been delicious if they had backed off the veggies a bit, though. Got fruit instead of potatoes which was a great choice because it was fresh and delicious. I do wish they had more savory options for breakfast; the menu is mostly sticky sweet stuff.

  • 3/5 Linda H. 10 months ago on Google
    Just had breakfast lunch there. It was okay not great. The omelet was kind of whimpy not a lot of fillings But it tasted okay. Our food took a bit to come out even though it was not at all busy. The omelets were nice and warm but the potatoes were barely warmed. Our server was fine, pretty attentive. It was just kind of OK. I will have to be persuaded to return.

    Do not go to the north Lakeland location. 2nd time I come to this location and the home fries were burnt. I ordered pancakes and they were not cooked all the way. The only decent thing I ate was the cheese steak omelet.

  • 5/5 Cj S. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything was perfect, fresh strawberries, eggs seasoned/cooked right. No wait on the weekend around 10 am and we didn't have to wait long for our food, Definitely would come back.

    Kekes usually doesn't disappoint. Thank you for always being a place we can enjoy good food and service.

  • 5/5 Terri Lynn H. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a fantastic experience! From the young man who seated me to the server, Mackenzie, who waited on me, to the busboy, everyone was friendly, welcoming, polite, and great at their jobs. Mackenzie is one of the best servers I have ever had. She is so on top of everything and has a delightful manner. Shout out to the busboy who doesn't just run a quick cloth over the table, but who, without prompting, actually came back to remove a particularly stubborn item from the table next to me. The cinnamon apple stuffed French toast is a tasty treat for breakfast. Their coffee is marvelous. And my glass of delicious tomato juice with lemon was huge. Awesome restaurant. Keep up the good work!

    Our party of five came here wanting some breakfast foods. We had a bit of a hard time finding the place, as it is tucked away in a far corner of a strip mall. We ordered waffles, pancakes and a couple of us had sandwiches. The pancake was huge and fluffy. The waffles were fine. The sandwiches were fine. Overall it was just average. Our server was very friendly and made it a good experience. Again, nothing terrible to say about it, but nothing amazing either.

  • 1/5 Ricky S. 2 years ago on Google
    Overpriced with small portions and mediocre service and an hour wait, not coming back for those reasons. Cheese Steak Panini for 15 dollars left me hungry.

  • 1/5 dave d. 1 year ago on Google
    I would rate it zero stars but there is no zero star rating it's just a one star for the lowest. If you like pain big money for small amounts of food and also never getting your water refilled one time during an entire meal then go here. After waiting for 25 minutes to be seated at 10:30 on a Saturday morning we ordered two omelettes and they were literally half the size of a normal omelette you would get anywhere else. This is the first and last time I will ever come to a Keke's. The waitress seemed to irritated that she even had to come to the table much less bring us our food and never return to bring us a water. I had to ask for my son's water to be refillled and then she didn't feel any other waters on the table. Then she kept trying to take our plates and we weren't even done. Besides the poor waitress service with an attitude the food was mediocre and flavor and small on portions. Go somewhere else you'll be happier

    We were researching best breakfast spots before we traveled to the area, we bet on Keke’s based on reviews and pics and it did not disappoint!! Excellent spot. Our server and the hostess staff very friendly. Good coffee. The waffles were our favorite of all the food we ordered

  • 5/5 Mrs. L. 2 years ago on Google
    Omelets were great! Our waitress provided great service.

  • 5/5 Brandon N. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was perfect, and I don't give out five stars easily. Staff: everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, took the time to explain and answer questions. Service was spectacular, I never got to see the bottom of my coffee cup! Food: The eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them, the bacon was nice and crispy, the home fries are excellently seasoned and some of the best I've had, the blueberry stuffed French toast was excellently balanced. I will definitely be coming back and bringing the whole family!

  • 5/5 Joe M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great breakfast. Prices are really great for the flavor and amount of food. Service was quick and thorough. Menu was updated and contained items for the picky eater and the big appetite.

  • 5/5 Kimberly D. 2 years ago on Google
    The server was great. We did have to wait to be seated but we just walked over to ross while waiting. I believe the manager was around to check on everyone. Its worth the wait!

  • 5/5 Robert Kropa J. 2 years ago on Google
    The breakfast was delicious, Stuffed French Toast & Eggs Benedict....

  • 2/5 susan 2 years ago on Google
    Meh. French toast was barely soaked in egg and only cooked on one side and was like a piece of yellow dry cheap bread. Couple of eggs very ordinary. Bacon was good. Not sure what the syrup was, probably corn syrup. Coffee was just okay. Waitress was not masked serving obviously elderly masked couples. Disrespectful in my view. Tip reflected that. Everything basically loaded with sugar so if you love a huge dose of sugar you'd probably like it. Basically I'd skip it.

👍👍 The atmosphere is awesome. High energy and plenty of visual items to take in. What's even better is the food. The "Estate" burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My Everything came very fast and hot. Well timed by the team!! My son especially loved the onion rings. Be carefull though,...
