Kerbey Lane Café

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.

I've never had a bad experience at Kerbey Lane. Great pancakes , eggs , and coffee ! Also 24 hours , so it's a great place to hang when you're drunk or hungover.

Sara Love

Amazing Service!! Hands down one of my best Austin experiences. Migas , Chicken Fried Steak , $2.00 Mimosas . 100% worth the wait! We will be back!

Cari Vincent

Love! Sweet potato fries : yum! I had a pear and bacon panini : excellent. Also, I love the pumpkin pancakes . Please don't dip sweet potato fries in ketchup . Ew Just order… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

REAL good gluten free pancakes , special was banana cocoa flavor. They initially gave me the wrong pancake , so they took it off the check! Not the cutest ambience but worth it for the food :)

While known for their amazing Kerbey Queso , the chicken fajita salad is awesome. It’s very fresh and filling. Avoid going in on the weekends between midnight and 3am because there will be a wait.

Sarah Hibbard

There are a few great things about Kerbey Lane: queso , 24/7 breakfast ... Better yet being 24/7 in general! A great spot for when you want pancakes for dinner .

Jackie Luo

Hearty food that's apparently great for all hours of the day. I had the French dip at one point, and their pumpkin pancakes in the fall were SO good.

melissa lane

Had the Grilled cheese with white cheddar , bacon and sliced pears .... Truly incredible blend!!! Looking forward to trying any of the pancakes in the future ????

Kaitlyn Green

Their cowboy queso is a must! Also it doesn't matter what food you eat, breakfast or dinner , everything there is amazing.

Jean Nicolas

Okay, if you're trying to get a light healthy meal try the Greek Chicken . It is so good, light and it won't make you feel crazy bloated. Absolutely exquisite!

Bill Gryta

Great pancakes and queso ! The wait can be a little long due to the college crowd , but the staff is friendly and the food is at a pretty good price too. Get the Kerbey Queso ! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Alexa Lopez

The American Classic was delicious! It's not too often I enjoy breakfast out side of my own definitely will be coming back

Serious Eats

Try the Eggs Francisco—an English muffin topped with scrambled eggs , avocado , crispy bacon , and smothered in their famous queso .

Amy

If you can't make it to the original kirbey on kerbey lane this one is just as good. Has a cool vibe by campus. Pancakes are a must. Look for their daily pancake , like lemon poppy seed . Two breakfast

Jordan Wilk

It is a college-student-magnet, so it can get rather busy. However, I have always found the food worth the wait, especially their breakfast tacos (the sausage they use is wonderful)!

Amy

Look uo at chalkboard for daily pancake specials. Their pancakes and migas are delicious. You will crave them. Lemon poopyseed pancakes , pumpkin , blueberry . Yum

CultureMap Austin

The renowned Kirby queso is a great way to get your meal started, but the migas tacos with salsa verde make for a filling meal. Together, they're staples of the Austinite's diet.

Robyn Cronkhite

Open 24 hrs, delicious brunch ! Try the fried chicken Benedict or Eggs Francisco - avocado , bacon , yum!

Social News Network

This location has just been renovated! The Black Angus Burger , formerly known as the "Really Good Burger ," was appropriately named. It's a really good burger .

Greg Gordon

Sit down service and parking on campus - challenging to find- they have it all here

Lisa K

Eggs Francisco is a divine, delicious dish. The queso adds a savory touch! Gluten free gingerbread pancakes are good

Michelle Nwaeri

The vegan pancakes are to die for I could eat them all day great diner good for vegans !

Vicente Lozano

The turkey with avocado is a reliable favorite. Their seasonal menu is the best of locally sourced food , without the pretension.

Jordan Langdon

Order the pancake of the day! As other folks have stated , these pancakes are legendary, and yes, they really do taste better at 3 a.m. than at any other time.

Andee Derby-Aguilera

Thhe pumpkin pancakes are anazing.30 min wait but it was worth it.

Melanie Schubert

Service was good. I got the kerbey queso but I wish I would have gotten the guac on the side because it mixed in. Got the Denver omelette & it was good but a bit too many bell peppers for my taste.

Christine Faris

Kerby Queso is a must every time I'm in ATX. I love too much on their menu to list everything.

Allyson C

If they ever have the white chocolate pancakes as the Pancake of the Day, ORDER THEM! Literally one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.

Scion Advisor

Have the queso . We repeat, have the queso . We like it with a scoop of guacamole inside and a side of salsa . The gingerbread pancakes are also a must-try. Read more

Ann Marie B

Big menu & lots of meatless options. Not to mention, breakfast all day (including $12 carafes of mimosas ).

Vi Tran

Classic place to go when you don't wanna drive away from campus. Carl's breakfast isn't on the menu, but they'll make it if you ask.

exfm

The perfect 24 hour spot right near the University . Amazing breakfast , lunch , dinner . Try the pumpkin pancakes if they have them!

Enrique Rebolledo

The chilaquiles are awesome! Try it off the fall menu . Also the pumpkin spice pancakes are delicious.

Berne G.

Great place for a late night breakfast . The chicken Verde omelet is delicious!

Lauren Pande

Omg vegan queso is super delicious, also a great looking guy who serves there didn't get his name :/ but try the sola enchiladas amazin

Meredith Maines

The banana pancakes with Nutella were delish. Not sure if it's on the everyday menu or just a special.

Geoff Trujillo

The pumpkin spice French toast platter is a must try!! Absolutely delicious, worth every penny!

Tara C

Gluten free apple cinnamon pancakes are the bomb & you can sub them on the combos!

Joe G

The veggie burger is fantastic with a bit if the chipotle mayo and service is top notch. [HIGHLY RECC]

Sessy Loba

First time here, but not the last. Everything we had was DELICIOUS! Eggs Francisco were so good, I am making them at home.

Kelsey Farish

Loved the grapefruit juice , and the verde sauce on omelette . Wi-Fi password is pancakes

Stephanie

Get the queso . Best queso I've had. Perfect right before pigging out on pancakes and bacon .

TasteThisAddison

The Eggs , Biscuits , & Gravy is the business! Best gravy I ever had. This Austin spot is AUSome :)

Steve Severino

Went with the Classic. Other menu items looked delicious.

Ailie Chang

Cowboy Queso is all you really need. If you're still hungry, get the Eggs Francisco with blueberry pancakes . You won't be disappointed!

Ira Schell

Try Chicken Italia from their seasonal menu ! I wish I could have it for dinner every night!

Madi Raurell

They have the best omelets !! Get there early to avoid the morning crowd

Dora

The kids’ menu is more diverse than most places, with – gasp! – healthy options such as an English muffin with fresh fruit or the “hippie burger ” (veggie burger ). Powered by ParentsConnect.com

Brian T

You may hear locals say that the original location is better, but I disagree. Kerbey Queso and the Eggs Francisco all the way.

Colin

Make sure to bring your Kerbey Card to rack up rewards for your late night queso !
