Visited Keys Cafe and one thing is clear--this place is popular. It filled up quickly with families and friends, which really added to the lively, welcoming atmosphere. I'm currently on a no-meat break, so finding something to order was a bit of a challenge. I went with the potato dish that comes with veggies and cheese. Since I'm not a tomato or mushroom girlie, I had those removed, and honestly, I think that made the plate look a little underwhelming. I would've loved my hash browns to be crispier and the veggies tossed in with them for a more cohesive bite. Now, the pancake? Absolutely amazing. Soft, flavorful, and easily the highlight of my meal. Service was also a plus our server was really kind and attentive, which always makes a difference. Overall, this seems like a great spot, especially if you're not limiting your options like I was. I'll definitely be back to experience the full menu when meat is back on the table.

This is one of favorite go to places for breakfast. The whole keys cafe chain is really good but this location will always have a spot in my heart . Very nice staff and fun decor. They are very generous when it comes to serving size as well.

I created my own omelet....delicious

Classic family owned restaurant. I visit this location the most, due to proximity to my house. Very satisfying food, reasonably priced. The decor is anything special - standard family diner stlye. But the service is always good and prompt, and the food hits the spot. Very reliable, if not spectacular. Solid, and would recommend. No complaints

Turkey Dinner all white meat
Anh T.

My fav all American homemade cooking from scratch from bread to cookies to turkey dinner to breakfast omelets. The best hash browns in the nation! They seem to be very busy at all hours but the food comes out piping hot everytime. I like they have butter cubes at the tables I usually get there very early for breakfast to avoid the long lines or an hour before they close for dinner. Anything in btwn is a really long wait. I like the big booths it feels very homey.

Turkey Dinner

They're always busy during breakfast and lunch. Nice little eating place, more like your mom and Pop store. Always like their turkey dinner. Customer service is good. The place is a little bit crowd what is doable? Nice choice of manual where you can have breakfast throughout the day.

Biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak

Too early to pick up our eye glasses so we found Keys. Tiny wait, quick service, huge servings. I had biscuits and gravy (Yum!) and Hubby had chicken fried steak. Gosh they were good. So glad we found a Keys this morning!

French Toast - Two SlicesFrench

It's a classic breakfast spot that you will want to come back every now and then. I like simple stuff like French toast, scrambled eggs that made right, this is the place to go. The staff are fast, humble and friendly. We grabbed a couple of scones on way out, yum yum, too good, when i remembered to take photos, they were all gone. Next time!

Keys is great breakfast spot, although I'm not much of a breakfast person, my kids love it whether the Minneapolis, Saint Paul, or Roseville location. Ambiance 4/5 Average diner spot with open kitchen to look in on the cooks (Mpls location). The Roseville and Saint Paul location is a bit bigger than the Minneapolis location. If you like a cozy down home feel, the Minneapolis location for sure. It gives Roseanne bar and I'm here for it. Service 4/5 Average service, nothing to write home about, but will do. Food/Drinks 4/5 Very affordable and great meetup spot for anything to family outing to business meetups. Their mushroom omelet disappoints as there from the can, I feel shortchanged. Price: Affordable. I love they sell the Strawberry jam, its a staple of the restaurant. Great for toast and a light snack. Overall 4/5 parking for Roseville location can be frustrating due to the little parking lot. Don't come midday, that's forsure.

A pretty neat wall hanging.

Best food of all time I can't lie, sometimes we have to wait a long time but that's much expected,…read moreworth it. Definitely recommended as a nice spot for anyone traveling to here or anyone who lives here and wants a good burger and a malt.

HIGHLIGHTS 1) Server was great…read more2) Atmosphere was on the louder side. 3) Malts and appetizer were good 4) Burger was not good, pretty disappointed, never again for the food ***Below is full review*** Service was great! Our server was super nice and even gave us a discount for giving us the wrong food before we needed to mentioned it. I got the salted Carmel and brownie malt. They kinda lacked the brownie but was still good taste overall. Appetizer: Cheese curds were decent, not super strong flavor but not oily and decent portion. Side of onion rings were pretty good. Again not strong flavor but made well. Upcharge $2 (service didn't mention) Atmosphere: Kinda loud because it's a smaller restaurant and harder to hear the person across from you. Nice older classic decor and look. Been there since 1986. Unfortunately the entree food was not good... Disappointed on the California Burger. Had no flavor. The tomato was bland and soggy, the meat had no seasoning or flavor. The avocado was dull and tasteless, Only good part on it was the lettuce. My boyfriend order the turkey club but didn't get that, the server knew it was the wrong order but still brought it to us. My bf didn't want to say anything, and the server said he took something off the bill (which we thought meant took the sandwich off, but gave us $9 off the bill) Overall. It was a decent, the appetizer, and malts are nice. But I wouldn't go there for the entrees.

I first went to Al's in the mid-80's, was a regular in the early 90's and early 00's. Hadn't gone…read moreback until recently. Still love this place and am becoming a regular again. I miss the crusty humor of Doug but believe Allison has done a great job (I was actually there on her first day of work!) of keeping the true spirit of Al's alive. They are one of my favorite places for hollandaise sauce!

Not for the claustrophobic! Also they only take cash or check. Also lots of other things…read more This place is so narrow it's barely three-dimensional. It is the breakfast-diner equivalent of a crowded subway train at rush hour. This place is basically a counter with about a dozen stools, and they serve breakfast staples every morning. There is no room behind the stools, and yet because people think this is a fun experience they wait in a line behind the stools. They sometimes move the stool people to different stools mid-meal to strategically fill stools with the stool-waitbehinders. It is a challenging experience. The food is not good enough to make up for the effort it takes to be here. In the past I've gotten normal, acceptable eggs/bacon meals. This time I got Eggs Benedict with nice, tart sauce. The eggs were a bit overdone, which is fine if you're not someone who likes a runny yolk situation. I also got hash browns which, on their own, tasted like they were steamed in bilge water. Most people probably put lots of ketchup or hot sauce on them. But you're kind of there for the experience. And it is an experience of cramming yourself in with hipsters and tolerating surly cooks who urgently shout to each other - right next to you - about needed ingredients while occasionally shaming you for not waiting in line correctly. The ambiance is not the slightest bit boring. If this review doesn't scare you away you will probably love it.
