Keke’s Breakfast Cafe

As a former employee I want to say, No the food is not bad! No the service is not bad. Coming from a server yes some of the servers need work but if I was just a guest the service is acceptable. Management from a guest point of view is also acceptable. Now let me explain something. I absolutely LOVED working for kekes I loved the breakfast atmosphere, my co-​workers (most the time haha), and the food is good! But NEVER have I ever worked for a place that could care LESS ABOUT their employees or their families. I came to them 2 months ago and explained I was having issues finding a baby sitter for the weekends, I was already paying a lot for daycare for the week days to only work two to three days during the actual week. They said they would do what they could but we were short staffed because they couldn’t get new hires to stay. Trust me it takes a hard shell to work there because they can be intimidating. I had to win contests at work to get the only two Saturdays I was actually given off and the next contest I won I never even received that Saturday off. Beside the point. I continued numerously to explain to them the issue at hand and they knowingly continued to schedule me knowing I was going to have to call out. I went to my manager, district manager and owner and NOTHING sad part is all of them have kids. The owner is a nice guy but doesn’t like to get his hands dirty so he lets the other two managers do the hiring & firing but they’re sexist so the men working there have it good. They told me when they fired me I didn’t give them enough time to get fully staffed… We had gone through numerous servers that have left or got fired because they couldn’t handle it and I was told the people who were hired after mere that have barely scraped by are not «good» which is why they have to over staff on weekends so they don’t drown. I don’t know once again food is good servers are okay but as a work place if you have a family I wouldn’t recommend working here because they don’t care about your family. As a result of firing me they already have lost 5+ regulars and probably many more. This is in no way an attempt to get people to stop eating there I just wouldn’t recommend the working MOM to work there working DADS you might be okay because like I said the men there got it made!

Breakfast at Keke… food blue berry pancakes and Greek omelet. Yum. Pancakes were awesome. Food was hot. Waitress and staff excellent. Great service highly recommend. We will return!

We love coming to Keke’s great food. Ask for Tabby to be your server she is the best.

The Food is Great. The Atmosphere is great. The location and parking is excellent. Customer Service from the moment you enter the restaurant is exemplarary. The Server Tabatha is incredibly. She is professional. Timely. Tentative. She has a Great attitude and is energetic. She adopts to situations and takes pride and has passion in what she does. A definite asset to this company and ICON of this specific location. I served in the Army for 26 years and retired at the rank of Colonel /​06. If she were a soldier or an officer I would promote ahead of peers! If this is read by Executive Staff, Management etc. Please relay to the highest of CEO and or President. Take this young woman under your wing. There is unlimited potential if given the opportunity. This location also has unlimited potential.

Usually a long wait, especially on Sunday mornings. Although the food are large portions and are always delicious!

Love this place!!! The food is fresh & tastes so good. The place is always clean & the staff is very friendly. My server Carly is just adorable & takes care of her customers. I come to eat breakfast on my days off. If you’re looking for good fresh food to eat with ingredients you can pronounce this is the place to go.

I’ve been to other Keke’s before but the service at this particular location was terrible. I’d recommend going to the one in Dr. Phillips.

It’s more like a 2 ½ stars. We had the Florida waffle (looks proved deceiving) and sausage omelet. The waffle itself was rubbery and almost impossible to cut. The whipped cream was definitely the fake spray kind. The fruit was fresh though. The omelet had velveeta type of cheese and very little sausage. My overall take on the place is that it’s expensive for average food. The service was friendly.

This is a great breakfast place! I love the omelets. However, if you’re not a fan of waiting 1 hour for breakfast, come on the weekdays instead. This place gets packed.

I’m always VERY happy with anything I’ve ordered here. Can only speak for breakfast but have had waffles, eggs & pancakes. All very good. They do something extra special to the English Muffins because they never toast that perfectly anywhere else.
Had the pumpkin pancakes with pecans & Bananas in it today. I had been anxiously awaiting these to arrive all through Oct but apparently they show up Nov. 1^st. I’ve had many many pumpkin pancakes but none have been as good as these. The cinnamon butter with it was outstanding. The sliced Bananas were cooked into the bottom of the pancakes as well as just enough pecans.
Hubby had an omelet with a heaping bowl of beautiful fruit. Great spot for breakfast!
*we both think the coffee is extra good as well :)

I don’t think the waitress really like me, but she seems like she was ok with my husband. I just didn’t know what I wanted to eat. So I kinda did get her little confused when I wanted whole eggs instead of egg white. I don’t think I am being difficult when I ask for Arnold Palmer drink with unsweetened ice tea with sweeten lemonade. But she forgot/​or didn’t care to bring it anyway. So I just let it goes. Our bill was 28.18, and I left 38 $ including tips. I could’ve leave less tip, but then again may be I am the problem not her… my waitress. 4* that I left was for the people who made my food, and hopefully as of a restaurants chain that doing so well… they may fix things to be better in the future.

Nice clean restaurant, hosteses were prompt and nice, as were the waiters. Serving portions were large. My pancake was cooked in old oil I believe. Overall, I would come back.

Like others on here my review is pretty much the same. Been to other Keke’s and the food and serves was pretty darn good. This one however falls short of the many others that I have been to.
Hostess staff is very friendly and inviting. The serves well. You never do see the same one twice. 10 minutes for our drinks and still have to remind them we haven’t gotten them after sitting right outside the kitchen is a bit much. Servers don’t bring out the food runners do. And that is pretty much the last time you will see anyone at your table.
The food for the third time comes out luke warm and you will find your pancakes with raw spots in them. Not that hard to make sure they are cooked all the way I would think. Would of been nice to have seen our server but that never happened till time to collect the bill.

I have enjoyed going to KeKe’s breakfast cafes and have tried this one near my house several times.
I do know that KeKe’s is overpriced but had not decided to let it change my choice.
This particular location never seems to know their menu. I order the same thing every time and for the last 3 trips it has been a mess.
The menu says white toast and it comes on a different bread. The wait staff insist it comes on a different bread. So you cannot forget what to specify. And then it doesn’t matter. I cannot seem to get what I ask for: the eggs are not as requested nor is the bacon. The fruit cup is ok (although overpriced) but the stems are on the grapes which is what the cup consists mostly of
I GIVE UP!!!
It is easier to drive a little farther or just pick a new place.
How hard is it to make a BLT with an egg sandwich?!

My breakfast was served cold (yay, cold eggs!). The blueberry pancake was uncooked in the middle. The pancakes are super thick so maybe the kitchen staff are still figuring out how to cook them right, being that this location has been open only a few weeks. They gave us a discount for the pancake but I think they should have issued a full refund for it.
Service was good.
In sum: meh. Maybe we were just not lucky. If you go, good luck.

Great brunch. Just me and my 7 yr old. They give kids bendy sticks — awesome toy. Keeps them busy. Pace was perfect– good service, food came fast. My son had kids pancakes– good price and he got 5 small pancakes with an orange wedge garnish. It was a good sized section so enhanced the meal. I ordered the Greek omelette. It came with «home fries» which I call «dirty potatoes” — skin on, a little kick– they were yummy. It was an impromptu breakfast, so glad we came!

Well prepared food. Amazing service.
Manager came ever few minutes to ask if everything was going well. Server was nice. Everything was excellent !(:

We tried this this new-​to-​Ocoee breakfast place today, with hope that it could equal or surpass our local favorites, TooJays or First Watch.
Our verdict: we’ll try it again someday, with hopes they sort out their issues. My pecan waffle, while it contained pecans, was surrounded by a meh matrix of binder that required a knife & considerable sawing action, & was accompanied by an off-​white squeeze bottle of «syrup». At that price, I expect Grade A maple syrup. While my husband’s poached eggs were excellent, the thin-​sliced potatoes were evidently underboiled before being panfried. The manager responded immediately & made sure he received properly-​cooked potatoes. Coffee was akin in taste to that found in the cheapest of diners.
My biggest quibble: where in the heck are the grits? Keke’s is headquartered here, in Orlando. Which is in Central Florida. Which is… in the South! Newsflash: people with $ to dine out are not all transplants, folks. And, if you are a potatoes-​at-​breakfast person, well, that’s how we Southerners feel about our grits.

Was really excited they opened a KeKe’s in Ocoee but the food was cold, the waffle was chewy, the breakfast potatoes were cold, and the wait staff were quite unfriendly. We told them about the potatoes and they took them away but when they brought new ones they were also cold. It almost seemed as if they were leftovers since we got there an hour after they opened. Will likely give it another try and if it’s the same, the trip to Mall of Millenia and wait time there would be a better experience. All in all a letdown but I’m chalking it up to they just opened and are still finding their groove.

Ordered (and split) the Pecan Waffle & a side of (4) link sausage.
The portion of pecans was really sad. (see picture). None found in the batter either so the $+1.50 up charge is a little upsetting to this diner. With that portion, just throw em in man!
The huge pile of whipped cream (ordered on the side) just didn’t make up for the shy pecan portioning. Textrue is tough enough to use a knife since the cheap thinazz fork wasn’t up to the task.
Sausage links were hot and cooked good — not over, not under done — cheers.
Coffee is okay– hey it’s hot, black and kept filled.
The forgotten extra plate (remember we asked to split the waffle??) came out shortly by another server staff, but I had to use my one napkin to dry it off. No, I didn’t want to put my half of the waffle in a puddle of water.
I think the kitchen forgot the add a plate request or didn’t read the «split» request on the ticket cause I watched our server jot the note down.
We’ll try again but for now, «ok» for this Keke’s is all I can offer. Our experiences were so much better at the two other locations we have tried. This one has just opened up too so, we’ll give em some time to tweak their game and then return for the encore — update.
