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...

Austin Chronicle

Locavore 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 Watson

Crowded 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 Wolfgang

Best 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 Mackey

The Chicken and Pancakes might not look like much, but that fried chicken combined with the spicy raspberry syrup is a great combination!

Candace Little

Delicious 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 Ruiz

For 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 !

Scott Francis

Best migas in town . Get the migas with queso for the win. Or the Paris Texas platter .

Lesley Robinson

Authentic 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 Roth

Go 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.

Glenda McKinney

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 City

The 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

Miguel

Outstanding breakfast food . Truly a next level establishment.

Dave Yeti

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 Hall

Enjoy 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 Carls

Awesome! Two of us ordered 3 egg whites , dry whole wheat toast and split a fruit . One coffee . Around $10. Love the Austin vibe there.

Luxembourg Mama

Gluten free pancakes were huge and to-die-for! All natural sausage and quality ingredients! Cute little place!

Social News Network

I love this original Kerbey Lane location! It is much more low key and enjoyable. They have amazing pancakes , queso and sweet potato fries !

Lilli

Cinnamon roll pancakes are worth every inch of fat you will gain! Trust me, I never write reviews, but this one is worthy.

Breakfast is amazing here! Pancakes are absolutely to die for! You must come to this cafe and stuff your face full of pancakes !

Damaris Ruiz

The food was amazing! And the staff was great. Wonderful place to come and eat.

Vania Moncada

It was a delicious breakfast . The chilaquiles were fabulous and the service very nice. Lot of people, so come early.

Topher James

Banana Pancakes , breakfast sausage , Texas champagne hot sauce .

Amanda Donovan

Pancakes ? 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 Network

Although 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 :)

Kursad Albayraktaroglu

The original Kerbey Lane Cafe - accept no substitutes. Great place for breakfast .

Un6th Austin

Drizzle 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!

Kim Freeman

If 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 DaCruz

Migas is a delicious start to the day. Fresh squeezed OJ , delicious. Real maple syrup makes this place legit.

Marlon Molinare

Loved the pumpkin French toast , but super rich so I'd recommend sharing alongside something savory

Ann Martin

I'm a fan of the Migas with ranchero sauce and corn tortillas . The cinnamon roll pancakes are lovely too.

Charles W Basden

Must go place if you are new to Austin .... or even if you've lived here many years. Great food.

Glenda McKinney

Add blueberries to the lemon poppy seed pancakes !

J P

Migas 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.

Scott Boone

Eggs Francisco are a classic. The seasonal specials are great!

Ariel Arro

I 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 Miller

Great diner fare . Menu is very friendly for those with dietary restrictions.

Houdah Abualtin

No longer 24/7 which is honestly lame AF. Came here for years late at night.

Adam Rogers

The pancakes were legit, and our hostess was great at recommending places to go as we were visiting from out of town .

Ben Mackey

The 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.

A G

Try yhe gluten free ginger pancake ! It was the same size as yhe plate...

John Kirby

Thanks Y'All at @kerbeylanecafe. Certainly a memorable, & fantastically delicious breakfast experience.

Satyajeet Jadhav

The pancakes were amazing. Most delicious pancakes I have ever had.

Zach Smith

Okay so. The queso . Get the queso - ya’ know?

Fernando Labastida

This 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

Doris Cacoilo

Real maple syrup makes the French Toast Platter perfection! Get the extra bacon ;)

Joan Park

Matt B
