Austin ChronicleSeptember 16, 2013Locavore before it was cool, this quintessential Austin diner serves fresh and delicious grub and embraces all that is our quirky community. Great things can happen over a bowl of Kerbey Queso at 4am. Read more
Phil WatsonMarch 28, 2017Crowded spot, but the breakfast is worth the wait (and any difficulties you might have with parking). The fried chicken benedict is on point and the $2 mimosas are the perfect accompaniment.
Jeremy WolfgangSeptember 16, 2016Best organic ketchup ever. The eggs are soft and delicious, and the seasoned mashed potatoes are amazing. The rolls fall apart, and the chicken fried steak was really good. Tobias is the best!
Ben MackeySeptember 2, 2018The Chicken and Pancakes might not look like much, but that fried chicken combined with the spicy raspberry syrup is a great combination!
Candace LittleMay 29, 2017Delicious cinnamon swirl gluten free pancakes $2 mimosas spicy bloody Mary's amazing iced coffee on tap - beat the hangover crowd on Sunday and get there before 8 am remember no alcohol before 10 am.
- Jennifer RuizMay 17, 2018For breakfast, be sure to add the cinnamon swirl to your pancakes. And you must start with the Kerbey Queso - it's basically guacamole smothered in cheese!
Best migas in town. Get the migas with queso for the win. Or the Paris Texas platter.
Lesley RobinsonDecember 29, 2015Authentic Austin! Make sure to do the original on Kerbey Lane. Any place that has a "The Great Pumpkin Menu" from October into the New Year is my kind of place.
Barron RothNovember 2, 2016Go here for breakfast and get the "MIGAS". I must've eaten this 1-2 times a week. There's a couple Kerbey's around ATX so look around again.
Pumpkin pancakes with cinnamon swirl are the best part of winter, and then lemon poppy seed pancakes return in the spring.- The Tastes that Make the CityMarch 2, 2015The Kerby queso is the best cheese in Austin, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Austin. Read more
Hands down the best breakfast in ATX. I am a sucker for eggs benedict. With their seasonal menu, i can always order it without getting bored.
Elizabeth HallJune 8, 2015Enjoy a bowl of Kerbey Queso with your friends in the original KL Cafe! Parking is a challenge so be ready to go to another location if parking proves impossible or the wait line is too much.
Beth CarlsMay 18, 2014Awesome! Two of us ordered 3 egg whites, dry whole wheat toast and split a fruit. One coffee. Around $10. Love the Austin vibe there.- LilliDecember 16, 2012Cinnamon roll pancakes are worth every inch of fat you will gain! Trust me, I never write reviews, but this one is worthy.
Social News NetworkJune 27, 2012I love this original Kerbey Lane location! It is much more low key and enjoyable. They have amazing pancakes, queso and sweet potato fries!- Luxembourg MamaMarch 15, 2017Gluten free pancakes were huge and to-die-for! All natural sausage and quality ingredients! Cute little place!
Ron FosterAugust 21, 2013Breakfast is amazing here! Pancakes are absolutely to die for! You must come to this cafe and stuff your face full of pancakes!
Vania MoncadaJanuary 18, 2015It was a delicious breakfast. The chilaquiles were fabulous and the service very nice. Lot of people, so come early.
Damaris RuizOctober 20, 2015The food was amazing! And the staff was great. Wonderful place to come and eat.
Amanda DonovanJune 2, 2012Pancakes? Awesome. Kerbey Queso? Even more awesome. Late night munchies...? Don't get me started. This location rocks, but you can never get enough kerbey anywhere!!!- Social News NetworkJune 29, 2012Although the original Kerbey Lane is small, it's quite cozy. The portion sizes seem to be bigger at this location in comparison to the others. Huge fluffy pancakes! Yum :)
Un6th AustinNovember 8, 2012Drizzle some Kerbey Queso on a Veggie-rizo and egg breakfast taco to get your day started. Oh and a cold orange juice to guzzle down that yumminess!- Kursad AlbayraktarogluDecember 20, 2018The original Kerbey Lane Cafe - accept no substitutes. Great place for breakfast.
Kim FreemanSeptember 10, 2017If you go on a sunday, it would be best to call in at least 10 min before you get here, so you can put yourself on the list.
Christine DaCruzFebruary 19, 2013Migas is a delicious start to the day. Fresh squeezed OJ, delicious. Real maple syrup makes this place legit.
Marlon MolinareFebruary 14, 2015Loved the pumpkin French toast, but super rich so I'd recommend sharing alongside something savory
I'm a fan of the Migas with ranchero sauce and corn tortillas. The cinnamon roll pancakes are lovely too.
Charles W BasdenOctober 26, 2014Must go place if you are new to Austin .... or even if you've lived here many years. Great food.
Eggs Francisco are a classic. The seasonal specials are great!
J POctober 3, 2016Migas are pretty meh. The flour tortillas are awesome. Kerbey queso's pretty good but it's a lot of chips. Order it for 3-4 people if you wanna keep eating.
Ariel ArroOctober 11, 2010I can't stress how awesome this location is. I would say how awesome the vegan food is but ou already know that. I did black out here one time and staff was totally cool with it.
Josh MillerJune 13, 2015Great diner fare. Menu is very friendly for those with dietary restrictions.
Adam RogersAugust 19, 2013The pancakes were legit, and our hostess was great at recommending places to go as we were visiting from out of town.
No longer 24/7 which is honestly lame AF. Came here for years late at night.
- Ben MackeySeptember 2, 2018The quote long wait times on the weekend - we were told an hour, but it ended up only being 20 minutes. Don’t leave or they will quickly remove you from the list.
John KirbySeptember 20, 2013Thanks Y'All at @kerbeylanecafe. Certainly a memorable, & fantastically delicious breakfast experience.
Doris CacoiloFebruary 19, 2013Real maple syrup makes the French Toast Platter perfection! Get the extra bacon ;)
Fernando LabastidaMarch 13, 2010This is the original Kerbey Lane, on Kerbey Lane. Best place for a 3am stack of pancakes, served by Austin's tattoo and nose ring crowd. Best place to go eat when the nightclubs close. Read more
Reid ReynoldsOctober 6, 2014Everything I have tried. Pumpkin pancakes and I don't even like pancakes
