Of the 16 rated reviews, 13 sit at four stars or better and 2 at two or below. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (12 reviews).

The kitchen graded a B (88/100) on 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 1 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too.

    The syrup is not syrup at all it tastes so bad so It smells like some sort of perfume. It’s gross! We all got sick from the syrup. The service was mediocre. Unfriendly waitress like she was so annoyed we were there!

    One of the better breakfast places

    Food was good. Service was great. The frustrating thing for me was $4 for not good coffee and while I might understand having sides like bacon be extra, $6 for a side of bacon is a bit much. It's half the price of the main menu item. $24 before the tip for one person for a nothing really special breakfast.

    My favorite Breakfast place in the county. The one in Viera is getting better, but this still has the superior service and food quality.

    This is my second time to visit and dine in. I invited my friend to have a taste of their yummy pancakes and waffles simply because I love the fluffyness of their pancakes that even though they are big in serving size - I do not worry because they taste so good! And, I also recommend their sandwiches and waffles, you must try them, too. Above all, I love how friendly the staff are, they really attend to your needs. And, the place? Perfect ambiance for catching up with friends. I strongly suggest visiting to this place to have an awesome breakfast meal and even perfect for lunchtime, too! Definitely, I am coming back again :-)

    Good in a pinch, expensive for breakfast 🥞🍳 though. I would opt for a different breakfast place for sure

    Great local breakfast place. Food was fresh and plentiful. Lots of choices and gluten free options as well. Waitress was pleasant and attentive. We will be back.

    The food is always good at Keke's. Our server was very good. It's always a place you can go to for good wholesome meal.

    I had breakfast at Keke’s and the vibes weren’t so welcoming. I was sat by the hostess and the servers were standing at the register, staring at me as if it was 15 minutes to close (mind you I sat down at 12:17pm and they close at 2:30pm). The hostess then went to those two servers to tell one of them that they have to take a table because neither of them have in a while (assuming mine ofc) and when my server came to assist me, she did not appear happy or as if she wanted to take a table or even be at work. Long story short, try to have more people who can at least fake it till they make it because that brought my vibe down and is not a look good

    This place was amazing. I was surprised that it wasn't too crowded. The parking lot was full, but I got a table right away. Food was awesome. Hector did a great job of waiting on my crew and myself A+ ++
