Every chance I get to go to Austin I stop by the cafe for a delicious burger and a brownie sundae. Pancakes are also spectacular

My family at at Kerbey Lane Cafe for the first time on May 11, for breakfast. It was a lovely day and we sat outside. We had a small baby with us and the server, Jenny, and hostess were very accommodating. Our food was delicious, the service was excellent. I'll definitely return to Kerbey's on my next visit to Austin.... More

It is mandatory to get gingerbread pancakes each time we visit Austin. This trip was not an exception. They are awesome. Also had an omelette. My wife had the Kerbey Scramble. The service was friendly and attentive. This was or first time to this location. We normally go to the campus location and endure a long wait for a table.... More

I am NEVER disappointed with anything at Kerbey Lane at any location. This was my first trip to the original.. The parking is a little tight but there is a parking lot down and across the street. I had the raspberry lemon vegan pancakes with the vegan breakfast plate and it was fantastic... $2 mimosas!!!

I love their pancakes, and I honestly haven't ordered anything other than pancakes each time I've been here. The service is average. This particular Kerbey Lane is a house, so there's limited seating which leads to usually waiting outside while a table opens up. Obviously, I love their pancakes, but everything else is about average from what I've tasted from... More

Excellent menu with seasonal changes, local food, and how can you beat $2 Mimosas, ANY time??? I usually go to the one near my house, on Research Blvd., a short hop from The Domain and Lakeline Mall. Whether it's an "after bar" snack or breakfast, weekened breakfast, lunch or dinner, or taking out-of-town friends to a great place to eat,... More

We try to have at least one Kerbey Lane meal each trip to Austin. I really enjoy the size of the portions and the fact that I can select between breakfast or lunch. The $2 Mimosas also make for a good experience. I tried the eggs Franciscan this time and loved them. The queso made the dish and the home... More

I've been here a couple times. I just don't quite get it why people recommend this place as a staple of Austin. It is pretty standard Austin breakfast food. Plenty of queso and migas. It's good... just nothing special is all. If someone were to ask to go here next weekend for brunch, I'd suggest other places but would order... More

I had pumpkin bread french toast and it was a treat for sure. Be certain to order a side of some bacon or eggs to make it more of a meal than a dessert. Coffee was good and plentiful. I visited Kerbey's twice and both times service was really slow when we first arrived but picked up once we placed... More
