Good potential but messed up with delayed food delivery and spiked pricing on some items: - waited 35-minutes to get our two omelet order (restaurant was 2/3 full) - short stack (three silver dollar pancakes) as an addition to order was more than $7 - cup of regular coffee $4! Staff was nice, place was clean, but seems the kitchen is lacking. Omelets were just OK. I'd forgive a one-time delayed order, but that pricing assures I'll probably not go back. read more

Not sure if their food is any good. Never got to eat here. The kids that work here seem to really hate their jobs. Hostess didn't greet us. In fact, she wasn't greeting anyone. We kept watching her and a couple other employees while we waited for our table and about 10 minutes into our wait what we saw made us want to leave. An elderly couple were walking in. A bus boy or waiter, not sure his role, but he looked right at them as he walked past the front doors. He could've at least got the door for them but he didn't. Another couple closer to the doors than we were got the door for them. They walked up for the emo girl at the front desk who was obviously having a bad day and she didn't even acknowledge them until the man started talking. She treated them like dirt in her body language and response so we just left and walked to the other end where we received proper treatment at this little French place. I know collin county is booming right now but don't take your customers for granted because they will go elsewhere. We get great service and food at Eggsquisite, First Watch and Starwood so no need to give you business. read more

I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and it came out drowned in dressing and barely any lettuce. The lettuce that was there, was brown. My son ordered the chicken and waffles and he did enjoy the chicken but the waffle was overcooked and hard and the butter was frozen and never melted. The kitchen was also very loud. I'm all for having fun while you work, but I could hear it all the way in the very front of the restaurant, read more

Came for brunch and had a good experience. Our daughter has a couple of food allergies and our server did an excellent job taking care of her. We ordered the French toast with sausage and eggs, and the cheesesteak omelette.Food was good and portions are huge. Restaurant is bright and clean. Easy parking in front. read more

My husband and I stopped by Keke's on a Wednesday for brunch, so it wasn't very busy. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, though not especially fancy. Our server, Kiki, was excellent. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. I ordered the eggs Benedict, and my husband had the chicken and waffles. We both enjoyed our food. Everything tasted good and was prepared well, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. With so many great brunch spots popping up around McKinney, it's tough for a place to really shine. Keke's is a solid option with good service, but it didn't quite rise above the competition for us. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Western Omelet, breakfast potatoes and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McKinney, Texas

3.5 stars but since that's not possible on Yelp, I felt like 3 was appropriate. While decent food, I felt like there was nothing that stood out about Keke's. It felt like a lot of the other brunch places in the area. Now onto the review.... I recently dined at Keke's Breakfast Cafe with my husband and kiddo, and overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few minor hiccups. My husband ordered an omelet, though unfortunately, they didn't have mozzarella cheese, which was a bit disappointing for him. We also got light pancakes (they have 5 bite-sized you can order as a side ... and only 90 calories!) and home fries. While the pancakes were light, fluffy, and yummy, I wasn't a fan of their style of home fries--I prefer the cubed variety over the way they prepare them. However, their plain pancakes were delicious and perfectly soft with just the right amount of fluff. We ordered other things, too -- like sausage links, a kid's chicken fingers, and fries, lemonade, which were all good. The service was pretty quick, which was great, but we did have to remind our waiter a couple of times about things we had asked for. Specifically, water, straw, and condiments. The ambiance was well done--clean, bright, and inviting. The layout of the restaurant was thoughtfully arranged, providing a comfortable dining experience. The menu is pretty extensive, offering a wide variety of breakfast and brunch options, which is always a plus. Overall, Keke's is a decent spot for breakfast. With a few service improvements and a tweak to the home fries, it would be even better! read more

Really good breakfast. We decided to go after church one Sunday. We arrived about 10am and there was not a wait. Our service was friendly and attentive. I had the omelet and it was really good. I liked the decor inside. read more

Visited Keke during a short stay in the area. The service was very attentive and friendly. The manager Melissa came by the table and check in on the service and proceed to refill our coffee. Food & ambiance was top tier. Will visit again when I return to the area. read more

Keke's was... okay. Service was slow. Only three tables were occupied when we arrived, yet our table's food took over half an hour. The food was mediocre & overpriced. There are so many great options around town - Keke's just isn't it. read more

We came in starving and hoping it wouldn't be a long wait even though it was after noon on a Friday. No fear the place was almost empty. This is my 4th time here and it went from great to bad to worse. Took a while to get service just to order and like I said the place was not busy. Took even longer to get the food and once I get it and take a bite I notice the hair on my plate. And then here is where it gets worse. Our server, and what appears to be the only server, is chatting with a customer. I look for the manager, she is talking to a gentleman. When she's done she too goes over it the customer and sits down and joins the lengthy conversation. For over 15 min the server stood there chatting away while I'm trying to get her attention. I finally take my plate and walk across the restaurant and that was the only way to get service today. So the manager offers to make it again but at this point I need to leave. I sit back down and even then the server couldn't break away from the customer to come over and check on any of the tables that were all waiting for service. When she finally does come over, I tell her we need our ticket and need to leave. She says I have to get the manager. Within a min or so my food is brought out to go. I don't get it. What happened to this place. It's horrible! I've given it enough chances. We will not be back. read more

This is a new establishment in McKinney that is still working out the kinks, but I had a great experience. My friend ordered a western omelete which came with country potatoes and toast. This looked like homemade from your mother's kitchen. I ordered the Tuna Salad and fruit which was ok. The Albacore Tuna was a little dry with just a little bit of celery in it. Proportions are huge and service was quick. Inside was clean and inviting. I will be back for sure! read more

New spot in McKinney/Prosper area. This spot has a modern diner vibe with comfy booth seats and super nice staff. The food came quick and there were so many options. I ordered the veggie scrambler and they didn't disappoint on the eggs and the turkey bacon. The NYC bagel!!!! Was by far the best thing since my days in NYC. Coffee was hot and good without creamer. Not a fan on the grits but that didn't stop me from writing this review. 8/10 for me. read more

My mom and I decided to eat here for lunch and we were excited to try a new brunch restaurant but we were ultimately disappointed. Our server did not check up on us once and forgot about what we had ordered multiple times. I've been to a lot of brunch places and this was the slowest service out of all of them. We waited a long time for our food and it was basically empty, the other two women who got here after us got their food first and we'd been waiting for well over 20 minutes. When our food finally came out I was again disappointed. I ordered the chicken ranch wrap and it was basically all lettuce with hardly any chicken. The fries were basic, nothing special at all. I was still hungry so I stole my mom's bacon. Overall we won't be returning. We prefer the poached brunch place in Frisco and the Eggcited brunch house. Another good option is Honey Berry Pancakes and Cafe in Plano. read more

I took my grandson out for breakfast and we have been wanting to try this place. We were greeted at the door and promptly given a great booth. This place is fairly new and it is very clean and appropriately gives off a great vibe. I had the eggs Benedict and my grandson had a waffle and a side of bacon. He said it was one of the best waffles he has had. My entree was good but nothing out of the ordinary. They serve only home fries (potatoes and onions) and that was fine by me, however my grandson wanted just plain hash browns and that is not offered there. My coffee was good and the service was excellent. The problem I had was that the meals total cost including tip was $48. Thats hard for me to swallow for breakfast. I honestly don't know whether we will be back or not. I am not sure the price justifies the offering. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - Eggs Benedict and home fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McKinney, Texas

-Not crowded at all when we walked in. We were seated right away. -After putting in our order, we waited about 35 minutes before our food finally came out. -Our group was not pleased with the quality of the food or service at all, especially considering the prices. If I could leave less than a one star rating, I would. -Our waiter Katrina did not care enough to check on us even during the long 35 minute wait for our food. After the food came out, she walked by, dropped off the check to our table, and did not even have the common courtesy to see if we needed anything, including refills. Who drops off the check without even asking if anything else is needed, beforehand? I would not recommend this place to anyone. Consider going anywhere but here. Please save your time, money, and gas. read more

I had a friend in town and visited KeKe's for Sunday brunch. The staff were amazing - very helpful, kind and prompt. Melissa and Greyson took great care of us and kept our coffee mugs filled! Greyson asked and provided the name of their gluten free bread and where I can order, it's the best gluten free toast I've ever had! The food was hot, delicious, comforting and large portions. We unfortunately forgot to take photos - but I had the 3 egg chicken omelette with an apple cinnamon waffle, grits and gluten free toast and all was great! I'll be back along with my kids next time! read more

Food was delicious. The chicken and waffle was yummy. The strawberries were fresh and sweet. The glacé was really needed but reminded me of Strawberry Pie! Bacon was perfect, Eggs cooked perfectly. Service was pleasant. Modern decor, fresh and clean! read more

My son sent us pictures of their breakfast at Keke's in Mt. Juliet, TN., so of course, we got into the mood for Keke's in Plano. I don't think they have been open very long, but they're doing pretty well. Were they perfect, no, but that will get better with time. The atmosphere is fresh, it's clean, and all the servers were friendly and competent. My meal was very good. I had a "build your own" with scrambled eggs, ham and a blueberry pancake. I was stuffed. The single pancake was huge. My wife had the chicken and waffles. She liked it and loves the Special syrup, but the chicken pieces were smaller nuggets versus chicken strips that you normally see at most restaurants. That fact alone wasn't that bad, but they were also kinda dark. Years ago, I had a restaurant, and I currently have a YouTube cooking channel, so I know that is caused by not changing the oil often enough. If you're in the mood for brunch, this place is worth a try. read more

Food was great-when we got it after an hour and 15 min of waiting. Nick was great-new server. Felt sorry for him as kitchen was very behind. He did his best-not once did a a manager come over to apologize for the wait. Nick was going to try and give us a discount but mgr didn't. Super disappointing. Will not be back. read more

Tell me you're corporate-owned without telling me. We gave Keke's a shot since they just opened nearby. The location's great, the place looks cute, and it was busy; all signs that things should go well. But they didn't. Against my wife's better judgment, we waited 40 minutes to be seated. Once we sat down, they brought us coffee (nice mugs!), but then nothing. Our waitress, Kate, didn't take our order for another 20+ minutes. Then another 40+ to get our food. We weren't the only ones: another couple, who had waited even longer than us, finally just walked out. Kate was kind and clearly frustrated, but overwhelmed. Just as we were about to leave ourselves, the food finally arrived: pancakes with brown, mushy bananas and eggs that looked like they'd been scraped from the bottom of a pan. At this point, we were done. That's when the manager, invisible until now, finally appeared. We told her we couldn't stay. She told us not to worry about the coffee. We tipped our waitress (felt bad for her) and left. We had my 92-year-old mom with us, and she and my wife were both hangry. So we ended up at Texas Roadhouse... thankfully, they delivered. With stiff competition in the breakfast/lunch space in this area, Keke's is not keeping up. They're riding the momentum of being the "new spot" in a busy, new plaza. But if this is the standard, there won't be much repeat business. We won't be back. read more

Keke's Breakfast Cafe - BLT with egg, STUFFED banana Nutella French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Tried Keke's for the first time. It's new so I'd give them some grace on time. The good is the ambience is nice. New clean modern. The staff and service were friendly. However the service was slow. I ordered decaf coffee. It took 15 minutes and was weak. The scrambled egg whites with Turkey sausage. The sausage was cold. The eggs were hot but drowned in some kind of oil and had a funny taste. My husband ordered the classic breakfast. His potatoes were a mixture of undercooked and burnt. Very underwhelming breakfast. And fairly expensive. They will need to get some better kitchen help if they are going to stay in business. There is a lot of competition for breakfast places in McKinney. read more

Kiki's Breakfast Café in McKinney is hands-down our favorite place for breakfast! The food is always delicious, portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. My go-to order is the combo of a Florida pancake and the Philly cheesesteak omelette -- unbelievably good every single time. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and everything always tastes fresh and flavorful. If you're looking for a great breakfast spot, this is it -- highly recommend! read more

Food was ok but absolutely HORRIBLE service which is the main reason I will not be back. Server spoke so softly that we couldn't hear her. I had to coordinate the food order since she just stared at us. Asked for utensils after receiving food and was told it's being washed with attitude like we were inconveniencing the server for asking. When the food came out another server came and said here is the omelet. We asked which kind since multiple people ordered that. She said Ham and cheese with attitude. We said no one ordered that. She proceeded to walk away annoyed. Then we said we ordered sausage and cheese. She quickly turned around and said yeah that is what this is and slapped the plate on the table. We had family in town and were really looking forward to a nice brunch spot. The service we received was awful and embarrassing. I have never been treated like this at a restaurant before. If you want a nice brunch spot i recommend going elsewhere and passing on this place unless you want to be treated with attitude, an inconvenience and want horrible service. Please train staff better! The only person that had any customer service training was the host that sat us. It went downhill fast after that! We will not be back. read more

I am not sure if i am going to these places by myself but this time I went to have breakfast here with my colleagues. The service was below par with literally no coffee refills unless asked more than three times. Food came all cold which was topped with a good long hair. I don't know how these places really last longer than a year . This one was by far the worst of the worst. read more

2 - 2 1/2 stars. What does it say when a breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant (as advertised on their wall) only has 8 tables occupied on a Friday at 12:15 pm out of at least 20 tables? It says, "I'm a franchise and Keke's was bought by Denny's (!) in 2022." (Google it) You get the picture. You know how you eat food even though it's just OK but you're paying money for it so you feel you have to eat it? That was us at Keke's! First off, my coffee was cold. Probably the morning's leftovers. The refill was warmer.but not by much. Ordered an omelette because there was a pic of one at the table and it looked good. It wasn't. Seasonless omelette, filled with mushrooms, spinach, bacon, and cheese, accompanied by bland home fries and toast. We also ordered a cheeseburger (frozen patty, bun too small, had to upgrade to fries from chips). Passable. Would rather pay more to support local restaurants that serve good food! read more

Great breakfast and great service! I got a build your own scramble with chicken, feta, and lots of veggies. Hubby got a Philly omelette. We also ordered an unsweet tea and a sweet tea, and an orange juice. We loved the food, everything! Service was super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back! read more

Brooke in the house at Keke's. Breakfast at Keke's was Great and the service was even Better. Brooke was very attentive and also accommodating.

Awesome job Brooke, we look forward to our next visit Keke's.. read more

I would not recommend KeKe's cafe. I had scrambled eggs, raisin toast and turkey bacon. Everything was cold. I asked for salsa and they brought a little plastic cup like you put ketchup in at Wendy's. They charged me 50 cents for it. My husband had scrambled eggs. Real bacon and pancakes. His food was also cold. His pancakes did have lots of strawberries and banana slices on it. read more

Same experience as most. Friendly staff. Food is ok but a little overpriced. The wait times are ridiculous. They need to double the amount of staff. Takes forever to get seated. Once seated it takes forever for someone to help you. Takes forever to get drinks. Takes forever to order food. Takes to get food. We never saw our waitress after we got our food which was crazy because we were in a busy section. Finally we had to ask another waitress to find our waitress to get the check. That was 20 minutes after we finished. Never got refills on our drinks. Like I said the food was ok, but the dining experience was not worth the price because of the service. With First Watch, B and B, etc close by they need to improve. read more

I hate to be writing this review but this was the worst dining experience I've ever had! I'm a huge Keke's fan and was super excited to have one in the area. I visited on Easter and what a disaster. We waited 40 minutes to be seated (as expected), ordered immediately afterwards and proceeded to wait another 40 minutes for our food. The worst part was the service. Our waitress seemed to have an issue with our party from the moment we sat down. During our wait for our food, she didn't bother checking in on us once and I had to flag her down. All of the tables around us were being checked on except for us! To make matters worse, the food was not even hot. This was my first time having to ask for a manager and although he offered to comp the entire bill (we didn't let him), it came off aggressive and like he just wanted us to go away. I won't return and urge you all to do the same. I ignored the recent reviews and paid for it! read more

This was our first time here and the last. Polite waitress, we ordered, eggs Benedict and a sandwich. It was 1:30 in a Saturday. After 35 minutes the waitress brought out the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were not done, when the waitress came back she said she knew because they jiggled so much while she was walking them out. She removed them and said the cook had already started a new batch. My sandwich came out 5 minutes later. The sandwich was not bad and the fries were quite nice. But the eggs never came back out. When we asked for a check she told us she was having them put in a to go box. I told her this was pretty poor experience. She called the manager over. He comped the eggs and gave me the reminder of the check. I let him know that this was my first visit, and that we had come to Keke's to eat together. Not to be served food Half ass cooked, another order coming out much later, and then sent with eggs in a leftover container for my wife's order. This is a very poorly run operation with a terrible kitchen. Nice menu with lots of promise, but the service was so bad we simply won't pay for that in McKinney. read more

We went there today a party of 6, Father's Day morning. We were seated and never served. We had a 5-6 different waitress walk past us and even stopped at the table behind us and never came to our table. There was even one waitress who kept coming back to the area we were seated in to come get on her phone. After 10 minutes we got up and left. They even told us thank you for coming and have a nice day ‍. We told the manager but nothing was resolved to correct the issue. read more

It's unfortunate. The food was good, but if you're going to serve refrigerated syrup and then refuse to warm any up because you "aren't allowed to" you're probably not gonna be around very long. That's some prime real estate, so I hope you figure it out. read more
