    My husband and I are visiting here and wanted a trendy breakfast place that was on the healthier side and wouldn't break the bank- this is the one!! Very tasty, trendy, inexpensive, and on the healthier side of most breakfast places! We ordered the French toast combo (comes with 2 sides) and the waffle Specialty combo (comes with 2 sides) Service was great and very attentive. Very clean place and food comes out relatively fast!

    Absolutely delightful. Had the waffles "Florida" wonderfully scrumptious! Thank you Riley, you are fantastic! Worth the trip from Tennessee.

    Blueberry Pancakes

    Kekes is just the best. I love it here. My friend and I came here this morning and it was such great service and such great food. I love that there's basically every single breakfast option on the menu. I got scrambled eggs with cheese and a side, pancake and sausage. The perfect portion sizes for not too much of a price either. What a great way to start off my morning!

    We went Sunday after church and had to wait 20-30 mins as expected. The hostess began telling people that the wait for a table would be over 30 mins and then after ordering there would be about a 45 min wait for your food. Our service was decent and the restaurant is very clean. The pancakes were hard on the bottom. The bacon was decent. The eggs were not good at all. Difficult to cut and very dry and hard. The Caesar wrap was pretty good and the onion rings were probably the best thing we ordered. We think there are better breakfast/brunch options in Gainesville.

    Excellent potatoes
    VortexMama A.

    Yes a solid 3! On par with Dennys with prices and flavor. Potatoes next to the pancakes, crispy edges, done well. I would go again. Its upscale Dennys. Its not as favorful as FIRST WATCH, it was still $20 per person, so not cheap. Nicer vibe. Great date spot, we went 8am on weekend. Stop by, give it a try! Good service, attentive. Beat the lines and go early!

    Chicken & Waffles
    Maïkha J.

    I'm not sure what all the hype was about this place. My family and I did not enjoy our food. It was packed on a Saturday and the service was fine. Lots of birthdays being celebrated so kitchen was a bit slow but understandable. I had the egg whites with turkey sausage and the eggs were so oily. The home fries my cousin and aunt had were not crispy. Cousin had the pumpkin spice stuffed waffles which didn't really taste like pumpkin. My sister did like her chicken and waffles but her fresh fruit cup had unripe strawberries.

    Great place, great food and great service . Everything felt fresh and well balanced. The pancake was not too sweet and the fruits, eggs and bacons were in the right spot. The place was super clean, the music was cool and the servants were super friendly. I recommend asking for the kids menu to color it is pretty fun.

    Scramble Bowl
    Hayli Z.

    I got the scramble bowl with spinach, tomato and mushroom and rye bread..I got it to go and it was a really big portion. It was pretty busy inside the restaurant so I'm glad I got it to go since I'm not sure how long the wait would be. It was a little spicy but other than that was really good and very filling.

    Western omelette
    Tim J.

    Checked out this place this weekend after workout. Luckily, we just missed the busy time and got seated immediately. The servers were very attentive and refilled our coffee almost every 5-10minutes. We got western omelette, egg's benedict, and florida waffle, which are big in portion. Tasted like classic American brunch. We enjoyed all the foods that came out. Recommend checking this place out when you crave classic american brunch :)

    western omelet.

    Overview: 5/5 First time to this place and I have to say I totally enjoyed it. Ambiance : 5/5 Nicely decorated with a modern upscale cafe / diner feel. Plenty of parking as this location. Inside booths are mostly 2 and 4 seaters. Food/Drink 5/5 I ordered a Greek omelet with fruit. It was delicious. My wife got the western omelet which was equally as good. Service : 5/5 Our waitress Caylea was pleasant, attentive and got our orders right the first time. It was quite busy and she was juggling a number of tables. Conclusion : We will be back! It's a bit out of our way but we will stop in here if we are in the neighborhood. Next time I would try a waffle or a stack of pancakes.

    Banana nut caramel stuffed french toast. Meh!
    Rose O.

    It hurts to give this cafe 3 stars because I could see how hard the staff was working to make our experience great! Sadly, other than coffee, nothing else we tried was good. Especially for the price! I tried banana nut caramel stuffed french toast, which I read good reviews about, but it's just a fancy name. Basically, it is a toast placed on a flat top (not a drop of custard absored), then filled with banana and cream cheese. I also tried three meat omlete, mediocore! Not much to say. We went for sunday brunch, and there was a line. Wait time was 25 minutes.

The menu looked great, reviews were good, so I made a reservation for 1:45. We got lucky and found a good parking spot next door. We got to the host stand, two young ladies were there taking care of business. They were talking to a couple, I figured they were looking for a table.. after standing there and waiting for a few minutes, we realized they were just talking about their plans for the weekend. Finally after a few minutes of standing there, one of the two hostess realized that we were there to get food and she apologized and asked for our reservation info. Meanwhile, the other person just stood there. There was a bit of attitude happening, I won't type it all now, but after about 14 minutes after our reservation the helpful lady took us to our booth. On our way to our booth, we noticed there was water everywhere. I'm surprised nobody had slipped, the condensation from the A/C was pouring over everything.the tables were wet, the floors were dangerously wet. There were no fans, for being in Gainesville in August it was more humid than outside. After we got our table dried off, and didn't slip on our way to the booth, we were greeted. I'm sorry,I didn't catch her name,but our server was very fri, she was new b/c she had a trainer with her. They were both great. We started with the pancake sliders, meh, they really tasted like they were frozen and just microwaved, the 4 sauces with it, weren't amazing and they were all old,as were the pancakes. Anyway, we ordered our lunch. The pear Gorgonzola salad was really good.i had the brunch tacos. It was a little spicier than I expected. That's fine,but it looked like it has spent time under the heat lamp. The cheese wasn't even melted. Honestly, we probably won't be back, the server and her trainer were very friendly, and helpful. They did a great job. The hostess, well,one of them was dismissive and acted like we were a bother.

Well, they were just okay, nothing that we would probably order again. Wife had the crab cakes and loved them, very good. I had the chicken and grits. I was excited until it showed up. I could tell just by looking at this super thin fried chicken, that it was going to be rock solid. I was right. The chicken was tough, chewy and stringy. It was cooked well past well done. I tried to eat it, I don't like to complain, but I could only get about 3 bits into it. I pushed it away. When one of the bartenders came by and was taking it away without even asking why an entire plate is being thrown away without hardly any food eaten. So I said it was way overcooked, and inedible, he didn't even respond, just took it and threw it away. No questions. No offer to get something else, just walked away. After that we decided we would go somewhere else, when we got the bill, it was still on there. That was very unprofessional, and I don't think we will be coming back anytime soon.

As it was summer break, a lot of the other businesses in the building were closed (Vietnamese and Italian restaurant as well as a boba place). The place looks like it was being run by a hardworking couple. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the Gyro Platter and I ordered the Souvlaki Platter. We also ordered a couple of fountain drinks. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. The Greek salad was quite good. The chicken souvlaki, however, seemed to lack flavor and a bit dry. Portions were quite generous and the value was there. We actually packed our leftovers for some quesadillas later. If we do go back, I would order the gyro instead of the chicken souvlaki. NOTE: They don't validate parking which was $3 for an hour

Located in midtown, this appears to a fast casual place that caters towards college students. They serve "Greek" street food, salads, quesadillas, burgers, and more. The food is relatively inexpensive. Service is fine, actually the people working there are friendly. Food is made to order and comes out quickly. There is some seating available inside (it's limited) but there are plenty of tables in the hall. I ordered the Street Chicken Souvlaki which included grilled chicken with tomato, onion, fries inside a pita, topped with ketchup and mustard. This was a very large portion. The pita was good, but pretty much fell apart the second I picked it up. While I liked the chicken, it was over seasoned and I didn't care for the "sauced" quality of it. I'm not sure if they marinated it or tossed it in some sauce, but it was too much. The fries were decent, but not super crispy. I felt that they were not necessarily and a little over-the-top. The tomato was fresh and but the red onion slices were very thick. The mustard and ketchup didn't work with the seasonings on the chicken. The dish was just all over the place and I couldn't even finish half of it before I started feeling sick. I ordered a side of onion rings as well. This was a large order and the size was great. But these onion rings were over-battered and were fresh, but not crispy at all. I bit into one and ended up pulling out the whole onion rings. Not good. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was so heavy and overly salted I couldn't even eat half of it. I ended up giving it to a homeless person on the way out. The food left my stomach in shambles the rest of the day. Service is fine. But the food is not desirable. It is safe to say I will not be returning, which is unfortunate.

This time around, I had a real hankering for a steak, and I had heard that Loosey's had a decent one, so I figured I would give it a shot. It was a pretty quiet day, and walking into the place it was somewhat dead... only a couple of tables seated. A good thing, too, because parking in the area to eat there is an absolute nightmare thanks to the City of Gainesville's approach to managing the downtown area. This is what I would call a typical downtown pub in a college town, built for having a lot of standing folks coming in during the nighttime hours to drink and have a good time, but during the earlier hours the dark wood and faint smell of stale beer tells you just what this place is normally up to and how it thrives during its busy hours. I was greeted and told to sit anywhere, so I found a good two-top to sit at and looked over the menu, knowing that I was going to be going for a steak. I went with the New York Strip with fries as a side. The wait staff was cordial, and my steak came out in a reasonable amount of time. The steak is good, and the price is right in this day and age. The fries worked well with the steak. I would go back for lunch here. No chance of me going here in the evening hours though. Finding parking in the middle of the day was bad enough, I don't even want to imagine what it is like in the evening.
