Keke's Is AWESOME

[jnieman]

Went there yesterday for lunch. They serve excellent food. I saw many, many affordable meals on their menu not like a previous poster said everything is overpriced. Their menu is huge filled with tons of breakfast (served all day) and lunch items. They are open from 7 - 2:30. I saw tons of awesome looking food coming out of the kitchen. We had the sesame chicken wraps with an oriental dressing with kettle chips and iced tea. $22.00 was our bill for two. You might find things that are about a dollar more than you see them elsewhere but I think the quality is great and so much variety. The restaurant is filled with very comfortable booths that have plenty of room. The one thing lacking is they don't serve soup which I'm hoping they will eventually. They serve lots of salads, sandwiches, paninnis, wraps, burgers plus about 150 breakfast items and about 75 lunch items. This will definitely be my number one breakfast and lunch place. No, I do not work for KeKe's. I just hated to see it get bad reviews when actually it is a wonderful place.

Their menu looks fantastic.

We had breakfast at Keke's this morning. It's a real big place, making getting a table easy. Food was very good and service was excellant!! While, I don't think it is as good as Rae Rae's, I think most people will like it, and because of its size, you won't be waiting as much. Breakfast for two was $33, while an equivalent breakfast at Rae Rae's is $21.

KeKe's an upscale chain style breakfast and lunch place with delicious fancy looking food. Rae Rae's is a small homestyle restaurant with delicious food. I find it hard to compare as I think they are totally different. They are both good. Price wise though Rae Rae's is cheaper so is price is the most important thing, choose Rae Rae's.

Kekes' photos don't show tables/chairs - just booths...is this location the same or does it have tables/chairs?

When I was there all I saw were booths but there could have been a few tables in the back that I didn't see. I did find the booths to be roomy if that helps and I usually like to sit at a table for that reason. I would call and ask because it probably varies from restaurant to restaurant.

I would guess that with the number of people that spend an inordinate amount of time searching for lost golf balls, they're not going to go to an expensive place to eat breakfast. ;)

If I was a person who went out to breakfast several times a week it is a no brainer I would definitely go someplace else because of price. For an outing once in a while for lunch or breakfast absolutely I would go to Keke's. Here is a sample of reasonably priced items: Two egg combo: Two eggs, toast or english muffin and home fries $6.49. French toast $6.99, Florida waffle topped with fresh strawberries, banana, blueberries and powdered sugar $9.99. Burgers (half pound) $7.49. BLT (nice size) $6.99 with kettle chips.

I noticed tables in front of a booth back with chairs in front of the table.

jnieman/NYGUY - Thanx for the info...booth just doesn't provide the support this old back needs these days...straight back chairs are the rule now! Might just hafta give Keke's when the govt check arrives! :)

Just came from breakfast at Keke's. I had a really good sausage & cheese omelet with home fries and rye toast. Mrs. Chuck had eggs florentine with tomatoes and spinach with home fries. Generous portions and great taste. A bit pricy, so we wouldn't go every morning... but for a 'once in a while' breakfast it's fine.

[jnieman]

Yes you are right they can be pricey. The thing I have found with them that they have many reasonably priced items on the menu... but there are so many delicious things that catch your eye that sound so good you tend to stray from the normal cheaper food to the luscious sounding more expensive food.

[wayneman]

Where is keke's? I have been to one in clermont. Although
food is good, it is on the pricey side. I prefer a cheap breakfast and
save my money for a nicer dinner.

[JimmyL]

Rae Rae's is definitely better in my opinion. Rae's has better service and way better food and is cheaper

[JoMar]

We love Keke's and Rae Rae's. Keke's has more variety, shorter wait times, great staff. Rae Rae's has a more basic selection of food, good staff and is cheaper. Our priority is to eat at places that taste great and when we find them, we expect to pay for the quality. Keke's is a cut above Rae Rae's when it comes to variety and what they do with that variety. Raie Rae's is on our short list because their quality is good but limited variety and longer wait times. If I want cheap I can make breakfast at home.

What in your opinion constitutes an "upscale " breakfast? Are the Chickens that lay their eggs better? Are the pigs that their Bacon comes from better than other pigs? Is there something special about their home fried potatoes that make them better. What the hell makes for an upscale breakfast other than high prices?

There is actually a difference in quality in eggs. And pigs. Depends on what they are fed and how they are raised and processed.

But I think what jneiman means by upscale is the complexities of the items. There are your basic diner-type flapjacks & syrup, and then there are your "Florida pancakes," topped with fresh strawberries, banana, blueberries, and powdered sugar.

And you can tell the difference????

:2excited: Where is it if we want to go? Darrel's Diner in southwest TV is ok but certainly not upscale---Upscale breakfast seems difficult to describe except lots of variety and above average prices. :icon_hungry:

It's in the shopping center on the corner of 441 and Rolling Acres Road next to Kirklands and the Honey Baked Ham store.

Yes, I can.

I can also tell the difference between a plain pancake andonewith fruit and powdered sugar on it!:pepper2:

Thank you for the location. I was hoping it was in South TV and golf cart accessible.

[newguyintv]

Me too, but I sure can't tell you which chickens and which pigs were fed just what.

Let me try to help. The posters have confused you. You do not want an "upscale" breakfast!! Breakfast is a "lowscale" meal...grease is "KING" and seasoning is utmost. For instance Rae Raes home fries are killer...Kike's are OK. It's OK if the place is clean (but, not required), but definitely not "upscale"!!!

[JoMar]

Which is why you and NYGUY shouldn't go to Kekes' or any other food place that serves anything other than regular eggs, cheap bacon and other usual fare. Another part of upscale it the "place" itself, type of silverware, plates, napkins etc. Being from NY I would have thought you might be the expert on this stuff.

I noticed. A man in Kekes yesterday who was so large thar even sitting all the way back in the booth he could not sit comfortably. Sometimes it's nice to be able to push your chair back s bit!

No NYGUY, they haven't confused me. I agree with your assessment completely. And no, I don't want an upscale Breakfast because as you say, no such thing exists. Can't believe how some of these posters have such strange views of restaurants and restaurant food. Takes all kinds , I guess.

Maybe he should have sat at a table?
