Biscuit with gravy on the side
Cheryl R.

Super busy cafe with a Vegas vibe. I sat at the counter rather than wait for a table. Initial service was slow, but they were quite busy on a Sunday morning. I enjoyed a traditional American breakfast of 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and biscuit with sausage gravy on the side. Everything was tasty, including my iced coffee.

Lounge menu?
Chalee T.

630 pm, Saturday, June 06, 2026 I had never been to Keno's Restaurant. I read this place is famous for it's Tomahawk and other cuts of beef. I called earlier at noonish to ask for a reservation but they don't typically have anything for same day. It's recommended to call at least a day ahead. The parking lot was busy, more available spaces towards the back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, 630 pm was a very popular time to be at Keno's when we arrived. The lobby was very busy for customers wanting to eat in the "Lounge".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 7-730pm seemed like a better time as most of the diners had been seated. OMG is it busy for 630 dinner service! It was a 35 minute wait to be seated at the "Lounge" or immediate seating at the cafe side. We were seated in the cafe after a short wait. The hostess told the waiter to seat us right away at a small table. But it seemed the waiter didn't hear or understand, completely ignored her and walked away. Another couple, behind us, kindly pointed out that we were still waiting to the hostess. Hmm, not the attention to detail that I expected from the staff. We'll see how the other service turns out. We were seated at a tiny table near the counter and given the diner and the lounge menus. These guys do not wait for everyone's dinner as my 20 oz Steve's Cut Prime Rib dinner $42.99 came out after 20 minutes. Underwhelming delivery by a runner, no smile, no announcement, just set down the dinner plate and the toppings for the baked potato. No enjoy your dinner, nothing. How can this be that a 20 oz prime rib dinner comes out before the 3 Keno's Sliders appetizer??? Kinda backwards isn't it? Isn't there a kitchen manager controlling and timing these appetizers and entrees? I felt that my steak should have been delayed and been served hot at the same time as the 20 oz Bone-in C. A. B. Ribeye dinner $48.98 that my son ordered. There's a lot of room for improvements all around. Expected a lot more from Keno's overall.

Kenos bar. Great for drinks and great food.  We had the steak and eggs.  I was able to substitute hash browns with fries.

Another great meal at Kenos while watching the World Cup! Good place to watch the soccer games. Always excellent service by Roman she is outstanding!

We stopped into keno's last night and enjoyed their Wednesday lasagna special. We absolutely love the lasagna they prepare. The drink drinks are also great here. The service is always over the top even when they're very busy. They keep up with the tables. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is still a cool little place to hang out at the bar area. It is like a step back in time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What a great place you have to give them a try if you haven't already. They are that good.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Kenos has stood the test of time for a reason a nice neighborly feel restaurant with good people and good food simple combination but a lot of places get it wrong believe it or not[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] came in for breakfast was served by my regular I loved it I don't even have to say nothing she already knows what I want to drink what I eat which is a nice touch I've been a customer here for well over 20 years and hopefully I got another 20 in me well done hats off to the staff

Located in Anaheim Hill next to Armstrongs. Lots of inside seating. Came for lunch on a Thursday and was seated promptly. Server was quick in taking our order and friendly. Lots of menu items. Breakfast lunch and dinner choices. - Steak and Eggs - Ruben Melt; lots of meat and not too salty but flavorful - Chicken Gumbo: little on the watery side and taste like gumbo / minestrone - Split Pea Soup; nice flavor Good value for food that's quick and cheap.

The Reuben sandwich with coleslaw  Reuben Sandwich
Rick S.

This is a restaurant we come to every few years. It's nice restaurant with a bar. I ordered the Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. The waitress was friendly and helpful as was all the staff. Our order came out quickly and looked great. I was a little bit disappointed in the sandwich. It doesn't have much flavor. The coleslaw was okay, it was about average. Overall it's a restaurant that is worth checking out if you haven't been before.

Keno's Original Tuna Melt
Rehanna P.

So excited to come in after awhile and still see Roman! She is the absolute warmest, attentive, and loveliest server to welcome us back! She recognized us after years! It was so incredible! Can't wait to come back!

Strip steak with all the trimmings. Added the mushrooms. Amazing
Chef Masa H.

Eaten here 100's of times for breakfast. So when your friend says "let's go for a steak dinner", why not. $27.99 for soup or salad, a Strip steak, potatoes and vegetables. Not such a bad idea. And quite honestly better than most steak houses at 5x the price. Delicious salad, extremely crisp lettuce: generous size. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Baked Potatoes with all the trimmings right on point. And perfectly seasoned veggies. Having worked 12+years in steak houses, I'd say Keno's is a hidden gem. And I can't how many times my steaks have been under seasoned and overcooked at major steak houses. So is their steakhouse Tue-sat at nite in the bar! Simple. No frills. No BS. Just deliciousness.

Cheese omelette with fresh jalapeñosand cheese not even melted .  One slice of cheese not even shredded cheese. Not good
Del M.

Well Sunday morning. Got seated. And always have the same waitress. She makes us feel like we are bothering her. Service not great with her. Food ok Busy Sunday people laughing talking lively

Chicken texture is like a cardboard box.

Their food quality really depends on the day, and recently they aren't good anymore. Today I ordered Fried chicken, and the texture is like a cardboard box and no flavor. I don't know what i was eating. I believe they still have chicken night. I think they make chicken once a week and microwave the leftovers. I don't know, but it's that bad. But I remember their waiters were nice, but I barely got there anymore.

NY Steak and egg breakfast

HEY STEVE!! APRIL 1st UPDATE TO YOUR LAST COMMENT RESPONSE:: I saw your comment sorry they upset you but did you happen to look at my pictures that I included? You could be as pissed off as you want about the comments I made about management staff, but why don't you explain the quality of the food I received? The pictures are the evidence!!! LET'S GET THIS FIXED!!! READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO SEE MY IDEAS FOR IMPROVING!! I decided to try New York steak and eggs breakfast from your place today and the pictures show the result!! SOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING !! HOW HARD IS IT?? The steak was ordered medium rare and I doublecheck that the ticket said medium rare, which it did. You can see the results here, most noticeably the nice, deep, dark marks on my steak from a Press.!! Why do I have to use a Press on a medium rare steak?? What's obvious is you're cooking staff is screwing you behind your back putting out CRAP food with no attention to detail unless their hands are caught in the pie so to speak. It's also obvious that whoever the managers are there, that not much oversight is being paid to how the food is being cooked and sent out, in particular, in particular!!! to to-go orders.!!! This doesn't happen inside Keno's, this happens with to go orders and I am really tired of it!! So I've made my point, but I have a suggestion to try to improve things , actually a two part suggestion: First, print up a bunch of simple 3 x 5 cards (3 x 5 so they're not just a small slip of paper and a card because it has weight and texture) On this card write a note to the customer stating that the food they receive should be absolutely the best, in both quality and flavour, and if they receive a to-go order that is not they should be calling you or going on YELP and putting a complaint in -- and then sign your name so you own it!! That is a great credibility move and I know how passionate you are your restaurant. It's time to get past these underlings that are just not doing the job but still getting the paycheck. Secondly, at least for the near future, you don't have to announce it publicly but you can keep it privately, have a manager inspect every to go order on their shift and sign the back of that 3 x 5 card I was talking above, "inspected by" and LEGIBLY print his name so we know who he / she is. When you place ownership on the rest of the management team to get the product out the door correctly, the attention to detail and the emphasis on quality can't help but roll downhill!!! And please, no refunds or credits - I ate the food. It wasn't the best and I'm hoping you can help me to improve it. Thank you

This may be my favorite diner in Anaheim. It's a very large American comfort food diner that specializes in breakfast and lunch. We stopped in for our first time for breakfast and had a great meal. Inside is very large with many different types of seating from booths to counter to table and is divided into many different areas. Even though it was very crowded, we did not have to wait at all to be seated for a party of two. There is a very large free parking lot attached so there were plenty of spaces available when we arrived. Our server was really polite and everything that we ordered arrived shortly after ordering it. The menu is very large and has a lot of great options on it. It took me a while to decide what I wanted, but I chose one of the specials for the day. I went with the Short Rib Eggs Benedict and thought it was really great. There were some fatty pieces that I had to cut off and did not want to eat, but aside from that it had some great flavors and instead of having the English muffin on the bottom, the base was hashbrowns, which was an interesting version of the traditional Benedict. Overall, I really liked it and I would recommend ordering it if available. We had a great breakfast and I already want to come back again to try more items so I would recommend to anyone in or passing through Anaheim.

Is there hot spot that you can play or actual keno?

Yes, Keno’s Restaurant in Anaheim Hills has the California Hotspot and also a machine with a variety of Scratchers. Good Luck! Jim & Mo

Just heard that Keno's has suspended all outdoor live bands for the foreseeable future! Is this true??? What happened, and when will you resume live bands in the outdoor tent area?? This was ALWAYS a crowd favorite, and would be HORRIBLE if true.

I noticed they canceled a. And last minute and was so disappointed. I called the restaurant and they said they couldn't say why but yes, no outdoor music for now but hope to bring it back soon. They still have live music in the lounge.

Since you're apparently changed ownership are you still featuring live music?

Hello, Keno's Restaurant, Anaheim Hills has had the same ownership for the past 29 and years and continues to do so. We provide live entertainment in the lounge and the outdoor tent multiple times a week.…

My husband had the breakfast burrito and said it was amazing. He liked it so much he even went home with a 24 oz container of their house-made red salsa, which was incredible.

I paid $17.54 for a biscuit with egg, cheese, turkey sausage, and a black iced coffee. The biscuit was decent, but fairly small, and nothing about the sandwich felt premium enough to justify the price. The turkey sausage tasted like a standard pre-made sausage, and if there was a significant upcharge for choosing turkey, it didn't feel warranted. The coffee was fine. It was a basic black iced coffee, good enough, but not something that stood out or justified a premium price. My biggest issue is the value. Nearly $18 for a simple breakfast sandwich and a plain black iced coffee feels excessive for what was served. I've also noticed that the total seems to vary from visit to visit, making it difficult to know what to expect when ordering. I genuinely like the people who work here and wish them success. This review isn't about the staff. For me, it's simply a matter of price versus value, and I can no longer justify spending this much for a basic breakfast and coffee. Biscuit: 7/10 Coffee: 7/10 Overall value: 3/10

It was my first time at Okayama Kobo Bakery. I was in Anaheim. I was looking for a bakery and…read moreOkayama Kobo came in highly rated on Yelp. So, i decided to try it. I was not disappointed. This Location is in the Center street Anaheim outdoor shopping mall. You can park either on the street or in the adjacent parking garage. As i arrived around 8:30am on a Friday, there was a line out front but it was moving fairly fast. The interior of the bakery is one space divided into 2 sections. The bakery and the coffee shop. Each with their own check out stand. They also have their own separate entrance door. So, if all you wanted was a beverage, you don't have to wait in line for the bakery. The interior is warm and inviting. There is no seating inside. Just high top tables made of barrels with a top for standing. However, there is a patio outside with tables and market umbrellas. Okayama Kobo is an Artisan Japanese Bakery. Everything is made fresh daily using quality ingredients and no preservatives. They use 100% Hokkaido flower from Japan. They are best known for their signature Salt & Butter Rolls, Curry Pan, and adorable character buns like the "Kobo Kuma" I got a "salt and butter roll". It is a light fluffy bread shaped like a croissant with a buttery and light salty flavor. I also got a "Kobo Kuma" which is a soft bear shaped fluffy bread filled with vanilla bean custard. Both were warm out of the oven and melt in your mouth delicious. Okayama Kobo Bakery has locations in OC, San Diego and Hawaii. The prices are really reasonable and the service is great. I can't wait to go back to try some of their other baked goods such as the french toast as well as a signature crafted coffee. I highly recommend Okayama Kobo.

The pastries are delicious and almost too pretty to eat, and the matcha is smooth, flavorful, and one of the best I've had. There's no indoor seating, just a small cozy outdoor area, but it adds to the charm. If you want an Instagram-worthy coffee stop with great treats and matcha, this place is a must. Highly recommend!
