Kerbey Lane Cafe

Found this cozy little restaurant next to a carvana dealership. The menu was fresh and popping. Our server, Sabrina was awesome. Her friendliness and attitude were inspiring. The chilaquilles and migas were heavenly. The chips that were served with the queso almost tasted like doritos. They have local artístico sell the restaurants wall decorations. I highly recommend people visit this eatery and say hello to Sabrina from us.

Food was great. Service was good. Had the eggs Francisco. It's great to have a breakfast named after you. Lol. Kirby queso was really good, something they're famous for. But the real winner was the pancakes. Had the blueberry. Amazing! Very light, airy and fluffy. Each bite filled with sweet-tart fruity flavor. Took my sister for the first time and she approved. You need to make this place your next favorite brunch spot. Most definitely recommend this place!

Abby has great customer service and has an awesome attitude with respect. Also her attention to detail on orders is amazing. Food comes out hot and fresh. Those sausages and pancakes are The Best I Ever had. Hands down those season fried potatoes will have you dancing at the table they are so satisfying. Great atmosphere for family and friends. We most definitely will be back. First time here and our expectations were blown away.

we had 7 people in our group and they were able to get us on the list and it was still only a 15 min wait when we got there but it was packed! I got the harvest chicken and it was absolutely perfect, I normally get the green chile mac and that’s also insanely good. They also have really good Bloody Marys and coffee!

Thought it might be a bit busy but, for one person, I got right in and escorted to a table. Abby was very helpful and cheerful and made sure my coffee was always refilled and hot. Great breakfast! I suggest the chicken Verde omelette. Great taste! Oh, and the pancake was HOT! 😉 Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Will definitely return.

Flavor: A Service: A Tea: A Solo dining: A In a conversation about San Antonio breakfast eateries, a friend of mine suggested Austin-born Kerbey Lane because they serve breakfast all day and don’t typically have crazy-long waits like you’ll find at other breakfast spots. I got the famous queso which was really good (not Alamo Cafe good, let’s not be ridiculous - but still delicious). And then I picked the “Paris Texas” which is a mix of sweet and savory that speaks my love language. The brioche French toast was great. The migas could’ve used more tortilla or chips in my opinion but was still good. My server was great and it’s a cool space. I’ll definitely be back to try more things!

2nd try to eat here. Last time we tried the wait was over an hour so we had to pass unfortunately. Today we opted to sit at the bar - (open seating) and the experience was superb. Absolutely delicious food. We had a birds eye view of the production team. Quiet heads down working hard to serve on a very busy Saturday mid day. I will be back. My order of Eggs Francisco was perfect!!! Thanks for the great food and the great service! 5 stars all!!!

We tried the Kerby Queso, the Kimchi Beef and Brownie w/vanilla ice cream. Everything was delicious and fresh. The ice cream was creamy, soft and tasted homemade. I highly recommend you visit and discover this hidden gem.

I was shocked that the SA Kerbey Lane restaurant was so much fancier than the two locations in Austin. The newly renovated modern and clean interior of the restaurant made for a great setting. Our server seemed a little disgruntled that we had a large party but she was very professional throughout the experience. The food was all delicious. Really great flavor for the salmon and brussel sprouts. The pancakes weren't as good as the ones I've had from the Austin Kerbeys but they were still very good. Will definitely be back to try other parts of the menu!

Been going to Kerby Lane (in Austin) for over 10 yrs - typically always delicious. This experience was lacking, the waitress had a crappy demeanor about her and the GF pancakes were dry they tasted as though I was chewing on cardboard. Spoke to the manager about the inedible pancakes he was very polite and understanding. Removed the charge from our bill. Needless to say for future reference I'll wait to enjoy Kerby Lane when visiting Austin.

Kerbey Lane was a staple for me throughout my college years in Austin - always reliable and tasty though the wait has gotten significantly longer since then. This Kerbey Lane is by the Rim but it can get a little difficult to find parking/you will probably miss a turn the first time you go. I highly recommend coming in around 10-11 am on Sundays to beat the brunch rush, it gets crazy packed here. Our breakfasts were delicious - I love the classic eggs Benny, my husband originally wanted oatmeal but the breakfast smell made him change his mind to a classic breakfast plate instead. I've always had just breakfast here. I'll need to swing by in the afternoon because the lunch/dinner menu looks interesting. Def a nice place to check out before your shopping trip at the Rim :)

Went to Kerbey Lane for the first time in about two years and a lot changed, but for the better. I highly recommend coming around 11 here there was no wait and you can also check in early on the website. My boyfriend had biscuits and gravy and a unsweetened tea. He ate it all in about 2.4 minutes. I had eggs and sausage and pancakes, 10/10. Will come back. The place is clean, the service is outstanding.

We popped in for lunch on Tuesday. It wasn't busy, which was nice, but I took quite a while to receive a welcome greeting and to be seated. It then took a while to have our order taken. Our server Kimberly was so friendly and we appreciated her cheerful attitude. My wife and I got Wagyu bacon cheeseburgers with fries and they were awesome! My son and wife are both gluten free and they had a full gluten free menu, which was nice for our family. Food was wonderful and service was friendly. Very slow service overall.

The restaurant is very clean and inviting. We went on a Thursday morning, so there was zero wait time. The servers were friendly and quick. The food was overall good, but would not recommend the avocado toast. They also have a variety of coffees and variety of other brunch beverages. We will go again.

The peppermint mocha was heavenly! It was the perfect hot holiday drink while on vacation. The pumpkin French toast was thick, moist, and very pumpkiny. Yum! I always order my bacon extra crispy and they did not disappoint. I love when restaurants have season menus. The fall season is my favorite and I have to take in as much pumpkin spice everything while it lasts. The combination of my breakfast with a holiday peppermint drink was the best! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

I went here for brunch for a friend's birthday. We were seated right away but unfortunately it took us over 30 minutes to order our food. Our server brought us our drinks but then was working the bar and had many other tables besides us. If we had known we should have ordered our food at the same time we ordered our drinks. I tried the Texas Benedict. The steak and eggs were cooked nicely and I liked the queso on top but felt like the ratio to cornbread was off. I feel like this review is skewed for me as it was difficult to enjoy my food after waiting so long to order and then again for our food to come out. Hangry was happening! However the food was tasty. At the end of the meal our server gave us coupons to come back to try dinner. If I come back I'll make sure to order my drink and food at the same time.

Last visit was disappointing and I do not think we will be back. Food was substandard and honestly, we felt a little off afterwards. My son liked his meal. Service was good so 3 stars

Nice All Day Cafe near my daughter's house. Always good to find a place you can order quality breakfast food all day long. My daughter had cinnamon roll pancakes with side of eggs & bacon. Very happy with taste and amount, she took half of it home. I had their seasonal steak frites and it was cooked perfectly. We both fell in love with the Parmesan truffle fries that came with it. Definitely get your moneys worth as our bill was under $20/person. A place we'll return too. (only reason they didn't get 5 stars is our server was nice, but slow to refill drinks & bring check.)

Never a bad meal. The chumps giving less than 4-star reviews must be hungover or upset about the traffic around it (which is warranted). Comfort food but with a blend of unique ingredients like Mac n cheese with green chile sauce or the Howdy Burger with Waygu beef patties, BBQ sauce, cheddar, cole slaw, and pickled jalapenos. Our last visit had something new-a chai mule cocktail! I was speculative but the drink removed all doubts. Darn good. My waitress was also the bartender with 20 years making cocktails. Highly recommended for those of you who've had everything and are seeking something new. Oh and the music is a plus with recognizable tunes you can hum too.

Hair in food= 15% discount on single plate here. I didn't make a big deal about it and that's probably why this was the outcome. Had I thrown a fit they may have done differently.

Went for a late Sunday brunch after church. It is a nice casual cafe on the edge of the Rim. Service was pretty quick and our waitress was really nice and patient with us. My food was fantastic. I had the Kerbey Lane Combo and everything tasted fabulous. They gave a ton of home fries (breakfast potatoes) and I loved the pancakes. Also really liked you can add cinnamon swirl to any pancake for free (I added this to my blueberry pancakes. Everything tasted fabulous and I would definitely go back.

Needed a quick bite before leaving San Antonio. It was 3 pm and hubby was craving breakfast food, while I wanted lunch. Kerby lane accommodated both of our taste buds by having an all day breakfast menu. Had a lovely waitress who helped with the selections for our food. I had the boss burger which was well seasoned and paired well with their chipotle mayo sauce. Sweet potatoes fries were crisp and sweet. The golden glow juice was pretty good. What it came in a bigger cup for the price. Overall, very reasonable price for the amount of food. Restaurant was clean, not too pleased with the restroom.

Driving down from Fredericksburg to see a show and we stopped in at our favorite Austin staple last Friday night! We got there 30 min before close and the host promptly and kindly sat us. Our server was super sweet and we ordered everything at once. The Honey Butter Cinnamon coffee (latte?) was amazing, I've been making them at home ever since we had it. Started with the cowboy queso because how can you not have it when at Kerbey?! I got my favorite David's Enchiladas with chicken- they did not disappoint. Husband had The Kerbey Lane Combo with his pancakes upgraded with the cinnamon swirl. Better service than we've had at Austin locations. Everyone had a smile on their face and the restaurant was well taken care of and clean. We left very happy and full.

I had the burrata appetizer the pesto was to liquidated needs more Parmesan and nuts added to thicken the pesto.. The Mediterranean chicken and hummus was good. The beacon wrap meatloaf needed a little more seasoning.

Brioche French toast was great, service was great and ambiance was great. It was also very clean.

Yum! Went for brunch and I'm glad we did. It hit the spot. We were able to get on waitlist before getting there so we were seated in 5 min. I ordered the Kerbey Lane Combo. I asked for blueberry pancakes and my waitress asked if I wanted the cinnamon swirl on top. I said yes and yummmm so so good. This was my 3rd time coming. Have yet to have a bad experience. Great place :)

Yesterday was my first time at this place and it has such a good vibe! The front lobby was really nice & we didn't have to wait we were seated right away (mind you we came around 12pm). Our waitress was a sweetie pie, she noticed my child nagging so she took a pretend order for her which helped my child settle down. Food was amazing! I highly suggest the cinnamon swirl pancake I can't believe my child ate a whole one on her own!! Restrooms are a little strange and got locked inside because the lock is kinda hard but eventually I got out hahaha! The only thing I wish was that the outside of the restroom doors had a vacant sign or something to let you know someone is in there because I was going door to door knocking. Other than that I would say everything was fantastic!

When I'm in Austin, Kerbey Lane was one of my go-to's. If you're expecting the charm of the original KL locations at this San Antonio location, you'll be disappointed. I tried coming a few other times when it first opened, yet the first time I was told that their online reservation was only working on certain days and I had to call. The second time I tried, I was not willing to wait 45 minutes for a table. I waited months, and on a weekday morning, knew that my chance of getting a table was high. I was able to reserve a table, and since my family didn't arrive right when the table was ready, I had to respond that we were on our way. When we arrived, we waited briefly for our table. The waitstaff was attentive, yet I wouldn't label it as friendly. My family placed their order, yet we brought in jackets and hoodies to stay warm since the restaurant was frigid inside. The coffee tasted okay, yet it nothing to rave about. My child was provided a kid's menu and colors, and this was one of the few times they weren't interested in it. When our food arrived, it was decent for a breakfast restaurant. I am sad that I couldn't order the Lemon Poppyseed pancakes I usually get at Kerbey Lane. I'm still not sure why they weren't available. I settled for Blueberry pancakes, which were good. I also ordered the Harvest Omelet. I'm glad I ordered a side of Hollandaise sauce since the omelet lacked flavor. My husband thought his meal was okay and the Chocolate Chip pancakes were good. My child didn't care for the black beans on their bean and cheese taco, and only ate the fruit. They've been raised on pinto beans in their tacos, so black beans were out of their comfort zone. If you want breakfast at Kerbey Lane, you could come to the San Antonio location, yet aside from knowing you were at KL, it could have been easily reamed with another restaurant's branding and you'd wouldn't know the difference. The ambience that made KL different is most definitely lacking in this San Antonio location.

Such an awesome time the other night at Kerbey Lane Cafe! The Kerbey Double Burger was so damn good and I absolutely loved the Chicken Fried Steak! I appreciate the attention to detail and great service from the staff. The really makes the visit all the more enjoyable! If you're looking for some quality pancakes, this is your spot to go to!

When Kerbey Lane opened in San Antonio, I was looking forward to trying it out. I have great memories of the original Austin one with its excellent coffee and delicious pancakes. It took a while, but we finally were able to eat here. Located on 1604, it is easy to reach and has a very welcoming set up. It has a very open set up with lots of lighting. The servers were friendly and quick food. I had the Breakfast Platter, which included two half size pancakes, two eggs, and either bacon, sausage or fruit for $11.29. I felt the prices were a bit higher than I have seen for egg and pancakes in other spots. Also the portions were on the smaller side. The food was tasty, but this is not the Austin Kerbey Lane I remember. It did not have the iconic feel of the one in Austin. Still, worth a try if one wants a quick breakfast and good service.

Austin locations made me very excited to visit this location since I live in San Antonio. Very underwhelming and disappointing visit. There's several servers behind the bar just standing around and waiting for a table, this is my understanding after sitting at the bar top. The service was friendly but also very slow. I noticed an employee sit at the breakfast counter to eat their breakfast and all servers focused their attention on them whilst several guests would get up and ask for condiments or extra stuff for their tables. The food was sad. No flavor, over cooked eggs and hard rice. My server handed me my ticket and immediately said they would take card or cash, when I wasn't ready to checkout. I still wanted to order mimosas. This place gets 2 stars for their happy hour prices.

Unfortunately I did not get the name of our server but she was in a pink Kerbey lane shirt with a blue star pimple patch and she had her hair in a low ponytail. Her service was by far the worst service I have received in a very long time. Once we were sat it took our server almost 10 minutes to come greet our table. The moment she walked up to our table she had a terrible tone of voice. You could definitely tell she was having a bad day or simply does not enjoy working here. After delivering our drinks and taking our order we only saw our server a total of 3 times. The kitchen had forgot to add ham to the Denver omelette and this still was not motivation enough for this server to be more attentive to on our table. No refills were given on our drinks and she did not apologize for the mistake with our food. Once we finished our meal we waited for quite a bit of time to cash out and finally we calculated how much our meal was going to cost and left cash on the table. The atmosphere of this cafe is lovely but that server definitely needs to be evaluated for he quality of service.

Good service but the food was not good. I ordered the Kerbey Lane Platter - eggs, bacon or sausage, pancakes and potatoes, you can't go wrong with that. WRONG. the sausage tasted so bad, they were dry and tasted like cardboard. The pancakes were tiny, it looked like a kids meal and they were dry as well, looked like they had been sitting out. Syrup was not even able to salvage the taste of those pancakes. Unfortunately, I don't think I would come back to give this place another try. Two stars for service.

Kirby lane in SAN ANTONIO, very clean, we were seated and promptly ordered drinks. I ordered th avocado toast and my daughter had the vegan pancakes platter. I was astonished about how good the avocado toast tasted. My daughter let me taste the veggie patty and it was fantastic. I have nothing bad to say about this location. They have the music at the right level. It was a perfect breakfast and lunch places!

Great experience!! Waitress Emma was awesome! Would def ask for her next time. Food was good and came out fast. We did come on a Monday, so not sure how the weekend is!

I'm always excited to check out new spots that have opened up near me. This review dates back to about a year ago when they were first opening, but long overdue! They didn't have their new sign up at the time, but the place was clean and open, with a lot of customers. Staff did a great job at being accommodating and getting everyone seated in an orderly fashion. Service was quick as well. As for the food, unfortunately for me, it fell below my usual brunch and breakfast mark. Not bad, but definitely nothing worthy to notice. With competing aesthetic brunch restaurants, I'm more likely to go elsewhere considering my inner-20s self! That being said, I know they're known for the queso and pancakes, neither of which I had gotten! So maybe that's the secret? I wouldn't mind going back again

Went on the 4th Of July. Got seated right away. Good service and great food. Unfortunately their coffee falls short, it's a little bitter for my taste and the cream didn't cut the bitterness. They have cute shirts for sale and the interior is fun! I'd definitely go back for lunch and try their queso.

The best part about Kerbey Lane is certainly the atmosphere and service. The inside almost makes you feel as if you've been transported to a trendy Colorado joint (or perhaps that's because it was freezing outside and the warm interior brought back vacation memories) but they certainly made an impact! Arriving around 9 am on a Saturday, we were sat right away and had an attentive and kind server. As for the fare: the hot chocolate was by far the best part of the breakfast. Perfectly flavored with a delicious whipped cream, it impressed me who isn't often a fan of sweets. The food was only ok, no stand out items and I think things could have used a bit more seasoning. They do offer quite a few options for special diets from vegan to gluten free which is great if you are looking for someplace to accommodate a crowd with different preferences. Definitely make a stop in to see for yourself, but maybe sneak a bottle of your favorite season or sauce in your pocket, you are likely to need it.

I loved my chicken and pancakes! So delicious! The chicken was tender and crispy. Pancakes were flavored well, so no syrup necessary! The sauce was so good, sweet with a little spice, a Buffalo sauce. I was at the counter. The service was quite efficient and the place was bustling! It is also a good place for groups. I will have to go to one of their locations again!

Went to Kerby lane expecting for it to be open but they had a sign saying they closed a 4pm?!?!? What's the deal?

So good and I specifically selected this place for their vegan items . Pancakes. Scramble and patties

Definitely a less than stellar experience this time at Kirby Lane. Service was lacking. Out of appetizer we wanted, forgot several requests like dressing and drinks. Ordered the steak frites and wasn't offered the wellness for cooking. The steak came out rare and was very chewy. Probably sent back food twice in my life. Asked for medium and the steak came back about 15 minutes later without sauce and just became less edible. The restaurant was at about 20% capacity and had plenty of staff that seemed to prefer be confined behind the bar more concerned with their operations than patrons. Shame to have such a reputable brand fall short, especially when the busy locations in other areas excel consistently. Looked forward to eating here, but would prefer to go somewhere else that can deliver. Do better Management!

Food was mid, queso was bad, and I had food poisoning the next day. Carlos, our waiter, was AMAZING. I loved him. He saved the experience.

Our server Victor was so attentive and friendly. He gave great drink and food suggestions that you could tell were genuine. He kept our drinks filled, table clear and made sure we were enjoying our experience. The service from checking in online, to checking in in person, to getting sat at our table and getting our food was so quick even on a busy Sunday morning brunch! You can tell that Victor genuinely cares about providing great service and food to his guests! We ordered so many things and loved all of it. The food was not only quickly prepared, came out hot and full of flavor! We enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, boss burger, peach cobbler pancakes and the French toast the most! So so delicious! We will certainly be back! The dip, so what's up? No, who is this no

This is a new place for us and I was really wanting some French toast. We waited at the door to be seated for a bit then a server came and sat us. The hip ambiance was neat, I liked the wall of mirrors. We ordered the Cuban Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries, Regular French Toast plate and added some plantains. Our wait for the food took some time. When it finally arrived, my French Toast was served with a side of hot syrup. The sandwich was ok, nothing spectacular. The plantains were delicious! My French Toast was so wonderfully delicious. I didn't care for my scrambled eggs or the smoky chewy bacon. Our server was very nice and attentive and the food prices aren't too bad either.

Decent dinner with lots of different options. This place has something for everyone! It is very popular amongst the locals. I see a lot of people in the reviews mentioning the queso. They're right! The queso is amazing! And so are their chips. Definitely my favorite part of the meal. For my entrée I ordered the turkey avocado club with a side of sweet potato fries. I found the sandwich to be underwhelming but the sweet potato fries were super good! The sandwich portion was huge. Id recommend sharing this dish if you have a small appetite like me. Service was decent. Overall this was a good experience but nothing special.

Arrived at 10:30am on a Saturday morning - 40-55 min wait - however we sat the bar rather quickly. With a firsthand look at the kitchen, plating process and the flow of getting orders to the wait staff to get to the customer. They need major help here. I counted no less than 25 plates of food on the bar that 1 person was prepping on server trays. Some of that food had been sitting quite a while. We split the California omelette and it was very good - thus the 4 star rating.

This is a nice, bright, clean, open restaurant. Helpful staff. Breakfast all day menu, with some lunch handhelds and entries on it too. Food was pretty good. Crispy chicken Benedict very good. Biscuits and gravy (with a nice spicy sausage) good also. Lemon poppy pancake a bit too sweet. Good family environment. Recommend.

No way, nowhere, no excuse....a breakfast place serving "whipped spread" instead of real butter is total BS!!! I get that a lot of people won't know that they are being duped...that's still no reason to perpetuate this fraud on unwitting diners. Come on man, not at these prices!!

This is pretty much Austin's version of Jim's restaurant. They do a decent job, and it's ok, but a bit on the pricey side for breakfast/diner style food. The fish and chips are decent - it tastes a lot better than it looks. The breading is a bit different than the typical flaky breading like most fish and chips have. The breading is light and just a little bit crispy and it crumbles away as you eat it and there is a slight hint of chipotle in the breading. It's definitely unique. The fish comes with a side of chipotle mayo which is decent, but nothing different than any other chipotle mayo. They have a full bar with some inhouse cocktails and a decent selection of regional beers. Final ruling - I'd go back, but probably not out of my way.

Nothing at all what I expected. Our server was friendly. She was not attentive. At all. We had to get someone else to get us coffee and even then they only filled one of our cups and walked away. Then the server reappeared and set our food down and promptly walked away as well. We ate and that was that. No extra napkins for the sticky syrup, no offer of refills on coffee, nothing. I did have the eggs Benedict and they were tasty. The blueberry pancakes my daughter got were dry. The eggs were good tho. Overall, just a weird experience for a place that gets so much hype. Would return if invited to meet someone, but not overly enthusiastic to come back. I'd say the prices were average. About $12+ per person.

I've been to kirby lane in Austin and it was great. This was a very bad experience. We sat at the bar and did not get greeted for like 10 mins and then had to wait another 10 to have our order taken. Then our lackluster food took another 30 minutes. I doont know what took so long considering my pancakes were dry and thin and my migas were soggy. I work in the service industry and am the least picky person ever, i never complain about food but this review has to be written.

Finally got to check this place out and luckily it was mid-week so there wasn't a wait for a table. We tried to come on a holiday weekend once and there were a lot of people waiting, we opted to go elsewhere. But now I understand the hype! The food was soooo yummy and the service was absolutely excellent. Our waitress never left us wanting. Food and drinks came out super quick. Plus, the food was fresh to order. Plus, this must be said, my poached eggs on my eggs Benedict were perfectly poached. You think that should be a given at any place that serves eggs Benny but oh how some places mess it up. Kerbey Lane knows what they're doing though. Check it out if you haven't already! Perfect breakfast/brunch spot.

We went for Sunday brunch with the family. The wait was long, but that's expected on a Sunday after church. The space was bigger than I expected, and we loved how it was bright, but still felt cozy. Everyone was kind and accommodating. I enjoyed my chicken fried steak. The bacon and cheese potatoes that came with it were perfect! We can't wait to go back and try more from their menu.

I'm went for lunch, but after looking at the menu, I decided I needed breakfast. Yet, I wanted queso too. So, I said why not have a little bit of everything. We started with the kerbey queso. It has pico and guac. It was cheesy and flavorful. You get the option of affine chorizo or veggie chorizo to it. I did see they have vegan queso too. For my meal, I had a platter with eggs, pancakes and fruit. You can chose the pancakes you want and you can mix and match. The pancakes whwre light and fluffy. The fruit is seasonal. This time it was oranges, grapes and pineapple. I ordered a chai tea latte. They do have different milks, but they don't have almond milk. My latte was cold by the time I got it and I don't think it took so long to come out. The restaurant set up reminds me of a diner. The wait was about 15 minutes on a Friday at noon. Parking is the problem for sure. They really don't have enough for the location.

Lived up to the hype! Great menu with something to suit everyone-- in fact, it was difficult to pick just one item to order! The omelets were amazing and, even though I'm not much for pancakes, even those were fantastically fluffy and delicious. Service was fast, considering how busy it was, and really friendly. Will definitely be back!

CRISPY CHICKEN BENEDICT* Fresh biscuit, golden fried all natural chicken breast, poached eggs, Hollandaise, green chile sauce & citrus marinated onions.
