Been to multiple Keke's breakfast cafes and this one provided great service just like all the others! Our server Sydney made it an enjoyable experience from giving great recommendations to ensuring we had everything we needed. There's a great selection of food options to choose from for breakfast or lunch so you really can't go wrong with this location! read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - 2 French Toast Kekes Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I came with a group of peers for breakfast. The waitress was bubbly and full of good energy for 8AM in the morning! I must say it was a pleasant surprise to have fresh squeezed orange juice. My steak omelet came out nice and hot. I happened to snag a picture of the eggs my coworker had. He was happy to know he could order a la carte with no issues. It was my first time at Keke's breakfast Cafe. The experience definitely warrants another visit at their family of restaurants. read more

Stopped by Kekes recently on Christmas Eve for some breakfast with my Mom. First time stopping by. The interior is clean and well kept. The staff greeted us immediately and service was great. Our waitress polite and attentive. The staff helps each other filling coffee and water and it never goes empty. The food was good. I had the Vegetable Omlette and my mother has a basic breakfast. Worth a trip. You can find better food but it's a clean breakfast stop with really good service. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Water cup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Keke's is a good breakfast spot. During the time we came around 10am, it was pretty busy. Our service was great. Our waitress kept checking on us and refilling my water! Our food came out fairly quick. Food was tasty. The atmosphere is good and when it's busy (which it was) it does tend to a bit loud with other people's chatter. read more

Came here after hurricane Milton and they were out of a lot of things, which is not a problem. My problem is all the frozen, artificial, instant things they serve. My goodness. If I want an instant breakfast I can go buy myself all the frozen items and warm them up at home. Packaged cheap bread, frozen sausages heated up, packaged jelly, everything was either frozen or prepackaged at some point. It's astonishing to me how many people love this place, because I don't like paying $$ for packaged, instant food. I can make myself a much better breakfast at home. Really. Not worth it. It is time to change restaurants back to fresh made bread, fresh made jelly, good healthy milk and milk alternatives, healthy cage free eggs. I have yet to find a good reasonable breakfast place in the Tampa area that is not full of grease and instant food. And you wonder why people are sick eating this. We've stayed in NY over Christmas and my goodness the food was fresh, healthy and out of this world. They make fresh jelly, fresh thick bread, healthy butter and high quality meets and cheeses, high quality fresh eggs and really good coffee. Here it's greasy land fresh out of the freezer. Sadly, but reality. Absolute no. Time to change your food sources and arrangements and offer healthy, real food. It's not just Keke's, it's all around Tampa breakfast places. read more

I've never really tried brunch places before so Keke's it was based off of photos. It's located in the same plaza as Crunch Fitness and Chuck E Cheese in the corner. Parking is a bit rough so you might end up parking far. We went in as an 8 top and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. We were sure if we wanted to wait but ended up doing so waiting for the rest of our party. Hostesses were friendly and the tall young lady was great and excellent in taking photos! We were seated and our server was very patient and helpful. I showed her a pic on here of their banana shake but they no longer had it which was sad so I ordered the Florida Waffles instead without the blueberries. I also ordered the Turkey Club with kettle cooked chips and a pickle. It was delish and very big! No avocado to be seen in sight so if that's something you need for your brunch, go elsewhere or bring your own, lol. Overall, portions are bigger here but not necessarily better. It was an okay visit. Vibes were good and a good brunch place. read more

This was the fourth time at this Keke's. My food was cold. My wife and mom had a similar complaint. The service was like this two months ago also. When the service is on point the food was good. I'm not certain I can keep it on my "go to" breakfast places. Although the one in Riverview and the Port St. Lucie area was rather good. They also have a nice variety of dishes. That's one of the other things that drew me to them. read more

Friendly service. Breakfast hours. If you go regularly and use same server good recollection of preferences for suggestions.

Had breakfast there today and ordered a make your own omelette. I had bacon, ham, sausage and cheddar cheese. Home fries and an English muffin completed the meal. The omelette was done perfectly and the potatoes were seasoned well. The English muffin was toasted well and everything tasted great. My wife ordered a scramble bowl, but when she got it the eggs were raw. The manager came over and apologized and had the plate redone. It was perfectly redone. Cooks fist day doing eggs had a learning moment. Very happy at how fast they rectified the issue. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Make your own omelette. Bacon, ham, sausage and cheddar cheese home fries and English muffin. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Goodness...normally the Keke's I've gone to have been normal to outstanding. Today was a bit out of the norm. They were packed like usual so we had about a 15 minute wait. We were seated quickly and the server took our drink orders and brought them back quickly. Took a turn for the worse when it took our food order around 30 minutes to come out. There was no syrup, no jam, or any other sides for the dishes that came out. We had to ask different people a couple of times to get things and even walked to an empty table and took the syrup from it. I ordered a chicken wrap, which didn't come out with everyone else's food. When the server came back, she noticed it hadn't come out and went to check. She came back and said the cook had sent it to another table? So they were making another order for me. When it came out, turns out it was missing the honey mustard sauce. I ended up waiting another 5 minutes for that to come out. By then, someone else came by and we asked for to go boxes as everyone had pretty much finished their meal before I could start eating mine. We boxed up the uneaten food, paid, and left. Definitely left a lot to be desired. By the way, the parking lot is not great either. Most of the spaces are "compact car" spaces so there were a lot of people double parked, and the lot was packed. I'm not sure if I'll come back to this location in the future... read more

Service was GREAT but buyer beware cup of coffee is $3.99 .... party of 4 for breakfast was $81 (without tip). Food was good but portions and price a disappointment. read more

Ordered the chicken Caesar salad for lunch and at approximately $16 it was definitely a side salad size. The chicken was so slimy and just overall so disappointing and so disgusting that I couldn't eat it. With tax I paid over $18 and left completely dissatisfied. I have tried their breakfast before and that was just as bad with eggs being an option, and not standard on any breakfast platter. Never go back! read more

We love keke's, we have people bring their food to our office. They cater we love that at our job.

The most unprofessional, rude, racist staff I've ever encountered in my life . I ordered takeout . I arrived within 3 minutes of when the text message told me my food would be ready . When it was handed to me it was ice cold . I asked the young lady at the host stand how long it had been sitting there and she said about 30 minutes . I asked for it to be remade and proceeded to sit down to wait. Another server came to the front telling me when my order was placed and that's why it was cold. I showed her the text message that told me when to come pick it up and that it shouldn't have been sitting there for 30 minutes . At that point several employees were standing there arguing with me so I asked to speak to a manager . Keisha or Tisha whatever her name was , instantly gave me attitude and again tried to tell me my food was cold because I placed the order at 1:38 p.m. I explained several times and showed her the text that told me to pick it up between 2:10 and 2:15 p.m. . All I asked was for it to be remade , and instead I got attitude and the manager threw the food back at me told me they weren't going to remake it and to get out of the store . I will be telling everyone about this horrible experience and making sure that that location does as little business as possible . It's absolutely inexcusable to treat someone like that . Simply disgusting . read more

We had my family reunion in Tampa and chose this restaurant for our final meal together before everyone went their separate ways. The staff was more than accommodating. Donna (the manager) explained our wait time (we had over 30 people that arrived at different times), and was able to seat us all in the same section. We had two servers, Jackie and Amber, and they were extremely caring and friendly. The kids all wanted to sit together, and they were good about going back and forth between tables to keep the bills separate. On top of the amazing service, the food was delicious. I had the keke special with French toast, bacon and eggs. I added a side of cheesy grits. I will definitely visit this place whenever I'm in Tampa. read more

The food was delicious, the waitstaff was very courteous and helpful. It is a nice building and clean. We will go there again.

Kekes cafe was very good. We came here on a Sunday morning ... a little before the morning rush I guess around 9.00 am, and the restaurant had a few open tables and we were able to sit almost immediately. Service here is very good, our waitress was attentive and super friendly. She recommended the egg sandwich which was what I ordered and it was perfect. Not big but filling... Since I had asked for something not too large. Didn't want to over eat since I had a long drive back to Miami. Kids however ordered chocolate waffles, French toasts, eggs, etc. Everything was DELICIOUS. Endless cups of coffee which I always like... coffee was freshly brewed and actually good. Overall a great place and nicely located just like minutes away from I75. Definitely recommend coming here. read more

I ordered egg whites with turkey sausage and toast. The food was decent. They put fake butter on my toast when I expected real butter. They served barely any sausage and the egg whites weren't season with salt or pepper. They brought the check early and had decent service. The tables were dirty and the walls paint was peeling off. The booths cushion had gunk all over it. read more

The food was delicious. They cooked my fried eggs perfectly. The server was nice. It was busy and we expected to wait because we had a large party. The issue I had is that they could not seat us all together. They sat us at two tables, one behind the other. It was very difficult to communicate. I wish they had a section for large groups or a way to put tables together. read more

Keke's has become our go to breakfast spot. The food is always delicious and fresh. On our second visit here we met the manager Donna and she has been amazing. We had a large party of people come in from out of town and she was able to move us to our own section. Although they don't do private events it felt like that's the kind of service we received. Tom has also been out waiter and he's the best. I hope they start doing private events in the future. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Clean, airy, no wait on a Monday morning at nine, comfy booth in light and airy dining room-lots of parking, fast service, did I mention clean? And oh yeah... amazing bacon. Not a bad start to this new work week! They do breakfast and lunch-always large portions in my three visits (to three different locations) They did the Greek omelette with egg whites for me-so good!-and I've never had such yummy toast (yes, toast!) I'll skip the home fries next time (they were just a little bland, to my taste) but wow, that was a good amount of food for $12.49 (the four strips of beautiful bacon were extra). I'm effusive, this place is efficient. I'll let the review mirror the latter. Good food, full tummy, happy customer. Thanks, Keke's. p.s. for longtime Brandon residents: this is in the Kane's furniture plaza, on the end where KMart used to be read more

Decided to try a new place for breakfast with my daughter. We got there right before the restaurant filled up Friday, about 9:30 so we only waited 5 minutes I ordered some coffee and they had vanilla creamers, so I was happy enough. We decided to order the Florida Waffle as a little apoetizer. The fruit on top was an easy sell to us. The waffle was really light and crisp with a good flavor. I did wish we had more than 4 blueberries, however the strawberries were juicy and we enjoyed sharing it. I had eggs benedict for my entree and I was glad the eggs were poached just right and the hollindaise was smooth and flavorful. My only grimace was the temperature, I wish it was a bit warmer. I am glad this place isn't too far away, because I know I'll be back here. read more

First time here. Had the egg and cheese sandwich. Good sandwich. Nothing to write home about just a nice average sandwich. Also got the French toast. That was pretty good. The custard had a nice flavor to it and the portion was a good size. My only knock is the $3.99 cup of coffee in this tiny little cup bit of a rip off on that. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe is part of a growing trend of restaurants that put an emphasis on breakfast, but serving it in a more upscale atmosphere than the greasy spoon diners or luncheonettes that were once pretty much the only option of finding a place to grab breakfast. In fact, a great description is that Keke's Breakfast Cafe wants you to think of their restaurant chain as a place that resembles "your hometown diner grew up and went to the city." Keke's Breakfast Cafe's was started by brothers Kevin and Keith Mahen, hence the name Keke's, here in Florida. The brothers grew up in central Pennsylvania but opened their first location in 2006 on Conroy Road in Orlando, Florida with the more straightforward name of the Florida Waffle Shop. They changed the name for two primary reasons,one reason is that it lacked a sense of uniqueness and the other, with the brothers looking forward to the future, was that they could not secure a trademark for it because there was another eatery with a similar name. There are now over fifty Keke's Breakfast Cafe locations here in the Sunshine State. Pretty impressive numbers for a company that started less than twenty years ago. For breakfast, I wouod recommend one of their omelets. I had the western omelet and would definitely recommend it. My server was friendly and professional and breakfast was an overall positive experience. read more

Ambience: Walking in, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the dining area. A LOT OF SITTING AREA WAS AVAILABLE. There were booths and tables available. Everything was very clean. The big windows allowed for bright natural lighting. Food: Food was DELICIOUS! I ordered the create a combo. The option I ordered consisted of two slices of french toast, turkey sausage and home fries. The French toast were extremely soft and fluffy yet, had a subtle crunch to them. Many breakfast places don't cook their potatoes hard/long enough but, these definitely had a good crunch to them. Everything came out hot and in a timely matter. I would dive the food a 5/5. Service: Our party of four and a baby were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. Our waiter came around to get our orders and they arrived quickly. There was a baby at the age of about one and a half in our group. It was great to have the staff not only acknowledge the needs of the baby but also engage with as well. The price of the food was very good especially for the amount of food that was given. Overall great experience. Will definitely go again! read more

This restaurant recently opened as part of their expansion into Hillsborough county. The food and service is very good and consistent with other locations I have eaten at. Today I had the pecan waffle. I made it a combo with eggs, home fries and sausage. Delicious! They have a large breakfast, brunch and lunch menu. Many choices of pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelettes, egg dishes & breakfast sandwiches. I have had their blueberry stuffed French toast, chocolate chip pancakes, and banana nut pancakes. As for lunch there are sandwiches, salads, wraps, burgers and paninis. The Italian chicken panini was delicious. Lunch items come with kettle chips and a pickle.They serve hot and cold drinks, juices and bottled water. The coffee is very good. The service was good. There is plenty of parking in front of the place. read more

This is a chain restaurant that recently opened a location in Brandon. They serve breakfast, brunch and lunch. While shopping in Brandon we decided to try this new location for brunch. When we arrived on this particular Tuesday it was quiet and the restaurant was pretty much empty. There was no social distancing for Coronavirus in effect at this restaurant. As you will see from my picture there was no skipping of tables. People were seated in back to back booths! We were seated back to back with the people in the picture. I didn't realize this until I got up and left, otherwise I certainly would've said something! There was a touch free menu on the table. You scan it with your phone and the entire menu appears on your phone. If you are not capable of doing this they will give you a disposable paper menu. Our server was excellent and friendly, unfortunately I don't remember his name. I ordered a combination breakfast which was eggs, bacon, potatoes and a banana pecan waffle. Everything was delicious. They are located in a large shopping center so parking in plentiful. read more

We were starving and willing to wait the 20 minutes for seating. We already knew what we wanted. Good came out, waffle and pancake was immediately lukewarm and tough. A bit annoying but we were still willing to eat past it - I was waiting on bacon, it didn't come with the rest of my meal. While waiting on my bacon, the server seemed preoccupied with other things. We had to flag her down a few times. Grits grew cold- that was the last straw. I sent everything back for them to remake the meal. The manager delivered the food the second time and told us he would comp the meal- only took off $7. Additionally, there are only two stalls available for the bathroom, one of the toilets was out of order. Doesn't seem feasible but most likely will not return to the franchise. read more

This was a disappointing visit because our first one here was so great We came in and we're able to be seated quickly was able to order drinks and then food we kinda already knew what we wanted because I was craving stuffed French toast After placing our order our food took awhile to get to us which we understood because it was starting to get busy when we got there after asking our server what the wait time still was so informed us that they were a little backed up but should be out any minute... after waiting a half an hour we finally got most of our dishes except the French toast they were still finishing it up so I worked on my eggs and sausage. After a little bit my French toast showed up and before I could get into it I noticed the sides looked very dry which is uncommon for French toast because it is dipped in a batter. I started to look more into it and it was completely dry they did not dip the bread at all it was toast with a huge banana in the middle and no cream cheese filling I informed our server and she asked if she could get another one remade but I told her I honestly didn't not want to wait any longer but this was just not at all what stuffed French toast. At the end of our meal the check came and she discounted 1/2 of the French toast that wasn't made correctly I asked her due to the circumstances can I just pay for the sausage and eggs because they French toast was messed up on the kitchens end not mine, she told me 1/2 is all she could do so I said okay paid and left. The extra star is for my sisters food but the experience for me wasn't great at all. read more

Several tables open. No servers. Several couples in line waiting. At least a thirty minute wait for starters

Went last week to this one. I was introduced to them by one of my exes. That time i went to the one in Riverview. Both are great! Staff is friendly, place is always clean. Sense i go by myself, i always get seated faster. I love their food. It's the closest to eating food from cruises. I get to order my favorite egg dish for breakfast! My only beef here is that every time i ask for the egg Wellington they always tell me their equipment to do the eggs isn't working. So u get a fried egg on top instead of heavenly eggs. Good quality is great, hit n miss with the fries. Sometimes over done but i eat everything anyways. read more
