Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
How guests are treated dominates the conversation here — it comes up in 80% of the 20 reviews. Reviewers who mention how guests are treated rate this place 4.9 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
5 stars is the modal score, given by 18 of the 20 reviewers who rated. The split is 20 positive to 0 negative across 20 rated reviews. Conspicuously absent: portion size, which no reviewer brings up.
On the health side, the most recent DBPR inspection returned a B (84/100) with 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 5 basic violations — middling, much like the reviews. That inspection was on March 11, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. Ranked against Lake County, it is safer than 41% of the restaurants we score. Among the items recorded were food from approved source and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

I'm a eggs and bacon every morning person. That can be difficult when traveling. Hotel food isn't up to par. Quick google search came up with Keke's within a mile of my hotel. Ended up there every morning of my visit.
