An Austin Original! If you’re a fan of local eateries and getting the feel of a place through its food. This is a “must try” on your list. But, it’s also a popular spot for locals. Good food. At a good price. And family-friendly. I’m been coming to Kerbey Lane for years and would recommend to everyone!
Today a coworker had some chips and queso from Kerbey and asked if I had ever tried. I'm not from Austin, so I was unfamiliar with Kerbey Queso. Well, let me tell you....this queso is legit. After tying it, I decided to try out Kerbey after we finished working.
Being open 24 hours is a huge plus for me since I normally have to settle for fast food of some kind because I work late. I had the fried green tomato Fransiscan. English muffin, scrambled eggs, fried green tomato, bacon and avocado. All smothered in that queso. Pure heaven.
Lots of great choices on the menu! I'm looking forward to another visit very soon.
I love this restaurant. I am gluten intolerant, and they have a wide range of gluten free and vegan options. I've been here a few times, and so far my favorite dish is the gluten free pancakes. Most GF bread tastes like sawdust and cardboard, but Kereby Lane's GF sandwiches and burgers are so good that you can't tell the difference. I also love that this place is open 24 hours. It's great if you're looking for a midnight snack that isn't McDonald's or IHOP.
Service can be hit or miss. Sometimes I'm seated quickly and get my food at a decent time, other times I'm sitting and waiting and have to flag a waiter down so I can be served. It really just varies depending on the time of day and how busy it is. I feel the food makes up for this, though. It can also be a bit expensive, but considering how good the food is and the quality of ingredients, I consider it worth it.
I've only been to the Kereby Lane in Jollyville, so I can't compare it to the others, which I've been told are better. So far though, I don't have any major complaints.
Come for the queso stay for the pancakes. This place is the ultimate good comfort food spot. Great for groups and even better for kiddos. Come early because the wait tends to be 15-20 minutes. Breakfast foods are the best choice to me at least 😝 but you can pick anything and the food will be slightly above average
Good place for late night snackage. Breakfast all day every day, and different specials. If they have cinnamon pancakes, get them. They stay in the fridge real well, and are like cinnamon rolls. But it's all good!
Worth waiting for. Kerby queso is unlike any other queso I have ever had. Yes, you will have to wait to get a seat usually. I have never waited over 20 minutes. Only had crappy service once out of the five times. Never had their pancakes, but look forward to eating some smores pancakes. Mimosas are 2 bucks!

Seasonal Pear/Bacon Grilled Cheese is Awesome!. We went tonight for the first time, and it was very nice. I see some other reviews are saying bad service and all, but for us it was very polite and prompt so I don't know if we got lucky or what but they were super nice and helpful. I ordered the chicken enchilades with green sauce and it was even better than my favorite back in Alabama and so far it's the only "Mexican" I've really liked since being in Texas. Everything was really fresh. My husband had the pesto chicken panini and it was good. He didn't have much appetite and was annoyed because everything looked and tasted great. We got the seasonal pear and bacon grilled cheese for my son (figuring he'd eat 2 bites like usual and we'd finish the rest) and it was AMAZING. I am a big sandwich lover but only if done well, and too many times trendy/unusual sandwiches stink but this was absolutely delicious!! I would definitely go back!!
Ok it's good food but 3pan cakes +coffee+ 1 strip of bacon(cut into 2 pieces)= $10.88
They do have good food and service; but they have gone overboard with the up charges for small sides.... I don't care if the pigs did have an "all natural" smile on their face before they died.
Keep up the good work; but rethink some of your practices.

Had brunch here today. Service was awesome. Didn't care for the fried green tomatoes; didn't like the greasing and they were red! Server and manager were very responsive to our complaint. Rest of the meal was delicious. Can't wait for next time!!
Chili at the Bar. The way to beat the crowd; sit at the bar, order bison chili and drink local beers. tip the bar keep well
Food is decent, service is awful. Every server I have ever had here has been incredibly slow and usually pretty rude. With only 3 tables filled it shouldn't take over an hour to eat.
Just had a great lunch! Super fresh watermelon gazpacho to start followed by a yummy fried green tomatoe BLT with pancetta instead of your average bacon. Substituted the sweet potatoe fries which I would say could use a little work, tasted grease and potatoe seemed a little less than done in middle. Definitely needs a little better flavor...

More than just breakfast. So I have to say I haven't always been a Kerbey Lane fan. But I think it's because I love my breakfasts, and their's have never quite fulfilled my expectations. Once I started trying their non-breakfast items however, I became a fan.
My favorite 2 words at Kerbey Lane - cowboy queso! To DIE for!! Shed the diet and just give it a try - it will be worth every drop you try to lick out of the bowl! :) Their sandwiches have been excellent as well - one of my favorites being their seasonal fried tofu sandwich - mmmm... Love their tortilla soup too. Having dissed their breakfast, I do have to give props to their blueberry vegan pancakes - these are excellent and I am ever so thankful to find a dairy free alternative for my daughter with dairy allergies.
Their new location is not as cool as the old building that they used to occupy, but let's face it... the old place was pretty dingy and suspect, and this place is at least clean, and they did try to 'do up' the interior a little. Oh, and finally, kids eat free on Tuesdays! :)

Good, but they can do better. While visiting my brother and his family in Austin this past weekend, we challenged the rainy morning and went out for breakfast. After a small debate, we decided to go to our longstanding favorite Kerbey Lane. Hands down, their best location is the original location on Kerbey Lane, however this was much closer to my brother's residence and my first time to dine at this location.
First of all, the coffee from Third Coast Coffee Roasters was phenomenal and we could not get enough of it.
For breakfast we ordered the California Omelet, which included cheddar cheese, olives, avocado, tomato, and a green chili sour cream sauce and this came with several side options upon which we chose the short stack of their daily special, blackberry pancakes.
When the food arrived, the appearance of the omelet was far from pleasing and even the garnishes looked a little weak. The green chili sour cream sauce was unappealing to look at as it sat in a dried almost crusty puddle on top of the omelet, and the orange slice was sad (see picture). Upon digging in, the sauce was almost un-notable offering almost no flavor in addition to it's unappealing appearance. The preparation and flavor of the omelet itself was just perfect, but the overall concept of this California omelet really cried out for a sauce that would make this omelet stand out. This sauce just doesn't do it and I would like to see a nice green color with flavor that substantiates green chili without overpowering the rest of the more mild ingredients. I ate the entire omelet so it was eatable; it just wasn't memorable in a positive way. Would I order it again, yes if I knew they had improved the sauce I would.
Now for the Blackberry pancakes, I enjoyed ever bite and when I ordered I really had to struggle to decide from their great selection Pumpkin pancake? Gingerbread pancake?
I still like Kerbey Lane, and the original Kerbey Lane location will always be my favorite, however I would eat at this location again.
Until next time...
Haven't found a better place to eat; kerbey is num nums.
Kerby lane is one of my all time Favs...veg friendly and a large selection of filling vegan meals
Vegan and veggie friendly! Amazing food. Great staff.
I love the Paris Texas platter. Migas and French Toast! Plenty of food too! Yummy.
Went to KL tonight, husband had the "gambler" which consists of 3 sliders of varying meats. He says no good, burgers REALLY small, overcooked, and sauces overpowering. On the positive tho, my peach cinamon pancakes were yummy!
The food is delicious and the atmosphere is really cool! It's a fun place to eat and hang out.
What to choose?. I am a fan of many items on the menu so it's hard to pick what I will order when I go. I'm usually stuck on the french toast, melt in your mouth buttermilk pancakes, burger or chicken sandwich with home fries. Occasionally the home fries come out not cooked enough, but they are still pretty good and I manage to always eat them :-). This has recently become even more of a favorite spot for my boyfriend and me considering you are allowed to bring your dog. They even have dog bowls lol. Plus to top it off, the bill for two meals plus two or three drinks always comes out undert $30, which is wonderful! I admit I was crazier about their other location because of the atmosphere but this new location is still fabulous.
So many choices on the menu but I always get the eggs francisco no matter the time of day. It's my favorite dish there.
The breakfast is always great- and hands down one of the most beautiful women in Austin behind the bar.

Interesting dish. Off of the Fall Seasonal Menu - Meatloaf Trifecta
This savory meatloaf features ground antelope, lamb, and bison combined with mushrooms, sage and thyme. Topped with a caramelized onion and tomato gravy. Served with grilled asparagus, garilc mashed potatoes and a dinner roll.
The meatloaf portion is ample, however, the mashed potatoe portion was about the size of a large ice cream scoop. which I expect they used to serve them. The mashed potatoes were described as garlic mashed potatoes, but they were plain and rather bland. I used some of the gravy from the meatloaf to add a little flavor to both them and the aspargus. The meatloaf, on the other hand, was quite spectacular. The blends of the meat gave a unique taste and it had just the right amount of spice to give it the right zing. I can't comment on the diner roll ase I did not receive one.
I ordered lemonade with the meal, but was suprised to find out that there were no free refills. So with two charges
for the lemonade and tip the meal totaled $20.
I really liked the meatloaf.
When you’re in Austin it’s almost tradition to go to Kerbey Lane for a homey, filling meal. Kerbey always has a great seasonal menu and a fixed menu featuring breakfast (can be ordered anytime), Tex-Mex, and all American fare. This visit I was feeling like getting enchiladas and my friend got their seasonal Mac with chicken tenders. Food tastes just how you’d expect it to, and everything is priced reasonably. We had amazing service from Sean at this location, and he packaged our food to go with an extra side of chips and salsa without us asking. Thank you for the attentive and thoughtful service, and we’ll definitely be back to this Kerbey location!
Loved having breakfast here!! The pumpkin bread French toast platter was phenomenal!! Perfect fall breakfast. The breakfast potatoes side was a great addition the seasoning was perfect. My husband had the regular breakfast platter with pancakes and enjoyed his meal as well. I tried the pancakes which were so light and fluffy! Would definitely come back next time we're in Austin!

This place is AMAZING! The food is superb. They have local artwork on the walls and the staff is so nice. Definitely recommend for brunch (or any meal for that matter lol). Also they had Pumpkin Bread French Toast!
We just stopped for brunch and we were served by Chelsea. She made sure we had everything and she was super nice!
Honestly we were pretty hungry so I actually forgot to take a picture as soon as the food came out, but it was really good.
We got the French Toast Platter and the Crispy Chicken Benedict.
I was just not a fan of the scrambled eggs I got, but it’s okay, the rest was pretty good!
We also got the queso with chips and it was delicious!
We first got seated inside but we thought the light was too dim so we asked if we could go outside on the patio and Chelsea was so nice and accommodating.
Definitely recommend it!
Kirby Lane is a charming cafe with a cozy atmosphere and a diverse menu. The range of breakfast options is impressive, from fluffy pancakes to hearty omelets. Their friendly service and relaxed ambiance make it a great spot to enjoy a leisurely meal.
Stopped here traveling through for brunch.
Loved all of the fresh vegan and vegetarian options! My kids loved the crispy bacon. French toast was amazing. Every one of us left happy and full!
Grilled chicken panini was real good. And the sweet potato fries must've been excellent because my grandbaby ate all that were on my plate. 😁
Our brunch at Kerby was delicious today! We had joined the wait-list on our way over, so we were seated pretty quickly. Our waiter, Hudson, was very attentive and constantly checked in to make sure that we were always having a good time. He was quick to bring out our drinks (and made some amazing iced mochas), and put up with our shenanigans pretty well!
I ordered the Egg Francisco with poached eggs and it was delicious! The yolk weren't as runny as I'd prefer, but I can't complain too much since I've never poached an egg personally.
Everything was fresh, hot, and satisfying. I will definitely be back!
Came here last weekend and our waitress, Bella, was very sweet and helpful. The food (breakfast) was delicious, fresh, and the overall experience was great. I wasn't very sure about the banana pudding pancakes, but I'm glad I trusted my gut because it was DELICIOUS! 🍌

Amazing mimosas. Super friendly. Lemon Poppy French Toast was out of this world. Love their famous omelet (forgot the name).
Food was great. Very busy but we were seated after a 10 minute or so wait. Server seemed too busy and never brought us sugar for our coffee.
I will definitely be back, just maybe during not so busy hours.
My first time to this particular Kerbey. The place was empty due to Super Bowl. A grand menu with more than enough vegan and gluten free options to consider. We 4 were there so long that there was a shift change from Alex to Sofiya. A wonderfully attentive and sweet, intelligent and kind waitress at UTA. Thank you, Sofiya for a wonderful night at Kerbey. 👏👏👏
Stopped in here for breakfast and it was pretty good. My friends got the migas and a Benedict selection, both of which looked amazing and tasted great. I got the traditional breakfast, and it was pretty lackluster. Pancakes were good but the eggs were underwhelming and they only give one sausage or one piece of bacon.
Great place for breakfast and brunch! The queso is excellent to start with. Recommend adding the guac and pico! The signature hibiscus margarita was also very tasty. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. 5 stars is not enough! Highly recommend! Don't forget to tip!
Never had a problem here. Great food every-time I try something new. Highly highly recommend doing reservations before you go. It’s super simple on their website. They are always busy and packed during morning/lunch hours so having your name on the list helps move you faster than just walking in
