Kerbey Lane Cafe

Kerbey Lane Cafe first opened our doors on May 5, 1980, serving made-from scratch comfort food out of a small house on Kerbey Lane. Today, Kerbey Lane Cafe remains 100% family-owned and we continue to stay true to our original values. We have 8 locations across Austin, many of which are 24-hours.

Adam Stallman

An Austin staple. Diverse menu. Breakfast served around the clock. Be sure to check out there items on the seasonal menu . Also be sure to try the Kirby queso ! It is some of the best queso in Austin.

Katy Thompson

The new spring menu has winners in the banana nut pancakes (switch out the pancakes on your breakfast platter for these) AND the crab mac n cheese Benedict.

Taylor Waltmon

If you're feeling healthy, get the Nabils Mid East feast salad ... If not, the jalapeño bison burger is absolutely amazing. Kerbey queso is also a must!

Javier Sanchez

Amazing food at an incredible value! Get the $2 mimosas totally worth it! Expect a long wait line though.

Melissa Garcia

Don't be afraid of the vegan queso . It has waaaaaay more kick than the Kerby queso for half the calories and puréed carrots . Don't be a wimp, meat eaters!

Fannie Gunton

I had the most delicious vegan pancakes here. Perfectly cooked, with a side of amazing bacon . Service is great, even when they are slammed.

Katy Thompson

2016 Summer Menu : Crab Mac N Cheese is fantastic! Get it as an app, Benedict, or entree and it's great any way you do it.

Kyle Bunch

Any of the Kerbey locations are a good spot to get breakfast whenever your pancake craving kicks in.

Jennifer Reiney

Really attractive decor. They have a lot of plugs for charging, laptops etc. Nice idea when they relocated. Cobb salad minus the bacon .

There are multiple locations of akerbey Lane but they are all in Austin and surrounding area. Super yummy! —Michele S.

Ben Thoma

One of the only places in the world where I always order the same thing: Paris Texas Platter

Wendy

Kerbey Queso is always so delicious. But the pear and bacon is the reason to visit often.

Meagan ♑

I always get the portabello omelet , but the summertime tomato pie is delicious. Grab a cup of coffee here too.

Jessica Fontenot

They were happy to accommodate my request to replace 2 starchy sides with fresh vegetables . Major brownish points there! Oh yeah, and the chicken Verde omelet was amazing!

Meg Murphy

Top Tips: Go for the Classic Queso (best kept secret in Austin). Try the Gazpacho made with the usual + watermelon .

Abner Aceves

Open 24 hours !! Huge to keep in mind. Ask for the pancake special. You must try the pancakes .

Willem Spruijt

Great place, great service. 24/7 breakfast , ask for the pancake special of the day. Free wifi .

You really can't go wrong with the pancake of the day. Tho FWIW you can't really go wrong with anything here.

Andrew Alvarez

Go with the California omelette : avocado , black olive , tomato , green chili sour cream ; with black beans and English muffin .

John Whitelock

Pancakes , pancakes , queso w/guac, bisccuits and gravy , and migas and beer amongst others.

Madalyn Jones

It appears that in spite of the change in location, the Kerbey vibe is still intact in the new digs. Unlike the unfortunate move of the Kerbey Lane up north.

Nathan Goodman

Jim Wilson

Chicken jalopino sausage gumbo is best I've ever had

A classic Austin spot for 24 hour whatever you want to eat. Plus they have locations all over town .

Jeffrey Carpenter

They have great vegetarian/vegan options.

Cash Edwards

I love that they will give me spinach instead of potatoes w/ my Eggs Benedict

Ronald Dula

Omelettes are good. The pancakes are overrated in my opinion. The killer is there is ALWAYS a wait of 15-45 minutes.
