It had plenty of ceiling fans. Our waiter was attentive and gave us great service. She was efficient and gave great recommendations on the food. I had the Favorite Biscuit plate (egg, bacon, tomato, cheese) with a side of the home fries with grilled onions. The biscuit sandwich was delicious--flavorful and satisfying. The home fries were crispy and the combination with the grilled onions hit the spot. My partner had the omelette plate. The omelette plate with home fries. The omelette plate was definitely a larger portion than the biscuit plate. We both finally enjoyed cinnamon rolls. The rolls were tender and just sweet enough. The chef even came around and checked on us while we dined. This place is definitely a must try. If I lived in the area, this would be my regular spot!

From…read morecoffee at 7:30 in the morning, to lunch, fresh drinks, and some of the best martinis around, this place became part of my routine (thanks someone I had been seeing at the time), so now it holds memories I'll always keep super close. Our first date happened to be here, which makes this one especially bittersweet. I can honestly say I never had a bad experience. The food was consistently good, the drinks were always on point, the service was welcoming, and the atmosphere made it easy to stay much longer than planned. It works just as well for an early morning coffee before a beach day as it does for lunch or drinks later in the day. I'm not sure I'll be able to return anytime in the foreseeable because of those (great) memories tied to this place, but that has nothing to do with Hemingway's. If anything, it says how much this place became part of an unforgettable chapter of my life. Five stars, easily. Some places you remember for the food. Some for the memories. Hemingway's gave me both.

They have the hot griddles built into the tables so that you can make your own pancakes which is what they're known for. We didn't have to wait for a table and the service was pretty quick. I started with a blood orange mimosa (only $6.95) and it was a very generous size. For my entree, I got the 2-pancake stack breakfast combo. I opted for the lemon poppyseed pancakes (which the kitchen cooks), cheesy eggs, and bacon. My husband got the southern breakfast, and our friend got one of their scramble skillets. Everything was amazing!

I joke of course, hipster is the theme, but of course they welcome everyone. And everyone should come. Staff is great. The place is clean and we loved the decor. Mostly, we loved our dishes. I had the shaved ribeye. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Loved the roll and Cole slaw. Now if they had some creamy horseradish for it, homerun. All in all, an excellent Sammy. My wife had the pulled pork Bennie. I am not a fan of pulled pork, but I must admit my fork wandered over to the plate a few times. She loved the dish as well. It was so big, we took half home. And there is where I may have finished it without permission. LOL. I really wish Yelp had the half star option. 4 1/2 is more appropriate. Go here. You won't be disappointed.

Literally everything I've had at Keke's has been amazing. The French Toast is usually my go-to as they have perfected it. The pancakes and waffles are also top tier. I would consider myself picky about bacon, as some places miss the mark, but Keke's always gets it right. I would definitely recommend getting your name on the list, especially on weekends, as this is a popular place (rightfully so). Service is always wonderful and atmosphere feels like a diner in your home town. Comparable to First Watch, but I think Keke's takes the cake. I love Keke's and will keep coming back!

We didn't find out until it was time to pay that their gift card machine wasn't working at that time and they couldn't scan it. I looked up the balance on the gift card to show that the $25 was available. I would have expected them to simply accept the gift card and run it once the machine was working again, but the owner who was there at the time would not accept it. I personally heard him tell the server, "You need to get another form of payment." The server was very professional and did an excellent job throughout the situation. Unfortunately, I'm now left with a $25 gift card that I probably won't ever use. Very disappointing experience, and I won't be returning.
