Emma QueryAugust 15, 2016I've never had a bad experience at Kerbey Lane. Great pancakes, eggs, and coffee! Also 24 hours, so it's a great place to hang when you're drunk or hungover.

Sara LoveSeptember 13, 2014Amazing Service!! Hands down one of my best Austin experiences. Migas, Chicken Fried Steak, $2.00 Mimosas. 100% worth the wait! We will be back!

Cari VincentMarch 5, 2012Love! Sweet potato fries: yum! I had a pear and bacon panini: excellent. Also, I love the pumpkin pancakes. Please don't dip sweet potato fries in ketchup. Ew Just order… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Jenna CookMay 23, 2015REAL good gluten free pancakes, special was banana cocoa flavor. They initially gave me the wrong pancake, so they took it off the check! Not the cutest ambience but worth it for the food :)
Social News NetworkJune 17, 2012While known for their amazing Kerbey Queso, the chicken fajita salad is awesome. It’s very fresh and filling. Avoid going in on the weekends between midnight and 3am because there will be a wait.
Bill GrytaDecember 22, 2011Great pancakes and queso! The wait can be a little long due to the college crowd, but the staff is friendly and the food is at a pretty good price too. Get the Kerbey Queso! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more- Sarah HibbardNovember 11, 2018There are a few great things about Kerbey Lane: queso, 24/7 breakfast... Better yet being 24/7 in general! A great spot for when you want pancakes for dinner.
Okay, if you're trying to get a light healthy meal try the Greek Chicken. It is so good, light and it won't make you feel crazy bloated. Absolutely exquisite!
melissa laneApril 2, 2015Had the Grilled cheese with white cheddar, bacon and sliced pears.... Truly incredible blend!!! Looking forward to trying any of the pancakes in the future 😊
It is a college-student-magnet, so it can get rather busy. However, I have always found the food worth the wait, especially their breakfast tacos (the sausage they use is wonderful)!
Jackie LuoAugust 7, 2014Hearty food that's apparently great for all hours of the day. I had the French dip at one point, and their pumpkin pancakes in the fall were SO good.- Kaitlyn GreenApril 4, 2016Their cowboy queso is a must! Also it doesn't matter what food you eat, breakfast or dinner, everything there is amazing.
- Social News NetworkJune 29, 2012This location has just been renovated! The Black Angus Burger, formerly known as the "Really Good Burger," was appropriately named. It's a really good burger.
Alexa LopezJanuary 3, 2015The American Classic was delicious! It's not too often I enjoy breakfast out side of my own definitely will be coming back
Robyn CronkhiteJuly 18, 2016Open 24 hrs, delicious brunch! Try the fried chicken Benedict or Eggs Francisco- avocado, bacon, yum!
Order the pancake of the day! As other folks have stated, these pancakes are legendary, and yes, they really do taste better at 3 a.m. than at any other time.
Classic place to go when you don't wanna drive away from campus. Carl's breakfast isn't on the menu, but they'll make it if you ask.
Melanie SchubertOctober 3, 2015Service was good. I got the kerbey queso but I wish I would have gotten the guac on the side because it mixed in. Got the Denver omelette & it was good but a bit too many bell peppers for my taste.
CultureMap AustinJuly 14, 2011The renowned Kirby queso is a great way to get your meal started, but the migas tacos with salsa verde make for a filling meal. Together, they're staples of the Austinite's diet.
Greg GordonFebruary 26, 2013Sit down service and parking on campus - challenging to find- they have it all here- AmyJanuary 13, 2012Look uo at chalkboard for daily pancake specials. Their pancakes and migas are delicious. You will crave them. Lemon poopyseed pancakes, pumpkin, blueberry. Yum
- AmyMay 31, 2010If you can't make it to the original kirbey on kerbey lane this one is just as good. Has a cool vibe by campus. Pancakes are a must. Look for their daily pancake, like lemon poppy seed. Two breakfast
Lisa KMarch 10, 2014Eggs Francisco is a divine, delicious dish. The queso adds a savory touch! Gluten free gingerbread pancakes are good
Scion AdvisorJuly 27, 2011Have the queso. We repeat, have the queso. We like it with a scoop of guacamole inside and a side of salsa. The gingerbread pancakes are also a must-try. Read more
Michelle NwaeriDecember 21, 2017The vegan pancakes are to die for I could eat them all day great diner good for vegans!
The turkey with avocado is a reliable favorite. Their seasonal menu is the best of locally sourced food, without the pretension.
If they ever have the white chocolate pancakes as the Pancake of the Day, ORDER THEM! Literally one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.
Christine FarisJanuary 10, 2015Kerby Queso is a must every time I'm in ATX. I love too much on their menu to list everything.
Lauren PandeJune 8, 2012Omg vegan queso is super delicious, also a great looking guy who serves there didn't get his name :/ but try the sola enchiladas amazin
Andee Derby-AguileraOctober 1, 2017Thhe pumpkin pancakes are anazing.30 min wait but it was worth it.
Enrique RebolledoOctober 27, 2013The chilaquiles are awesome! Try it off the fall menu. Also the pumpkin spice pancakes are delicious.
exfmFebruary 23, 2012The perfect 24 hour spot right near the University. Amazing breakfast, lunch, dinner. Try the pumpkin pancakes if they have them!
Lani DameJuly 29, 2012Found a great combination due to a server error: the grilled steak, peppers and onions from the fajitas on top of the salad. No need for dressing.
Tara CJanuary 25, 2014Gluten free apple cinnamon pancakes are the bomb & you can sub them on the combos!
Ann Marie BJune 10, 2013Big menu & lots of meatless options. Not to mention, breakfast all day (including $12 carafes of mimosas).
Meredith MainesJune 2, 2013The banana pancakes with Nutella were delish. Not sure if it's on the everyday menu or just a special.
Try Chicken Italia from their seasonal menu! I wish I could have it for dinner every night!
Joe GJanuary 2, 2013The veggie burger is fantastic with a bit if the chipotle mayo and service is top notch. [HIGHLY RECC]
Pablo NegreteJuly 27, 2013French toast was ok.. mijas with salsa verde was good. Ask for a bit krispy bacon..unless you like it just a bit undone.
Berne G.December 18, 2014Great place for a late night breakfast. The chicken Verde omelet is delicious!
Serious EatsMarch 5, 2013Try the Eggs Francisco—an English muffin topped with scrambled eggs, avocado, crispy bacon, and smothered in their famous queso.
Kelsey FarishNovember 11, 2013Loved the grapefruit juice, and the verde sauce on omelette. Wi-Fi password is pancakes
The pumpkin spice French toast platter is a must try!! Absolutely delicious, worth every penny!
Brian TJune 12, 2012You may hear locals say that the original location is better, but I disagree. Kerbey Queso and the Eggs Francisco all the way.
TasteThisAddisonDecember 13, 2012The Eggs, Biscuits, & Gravy is the business! Best gravy I ever had. This Austin spot is AUSome :)
StephanieOctober 28, 2012Get the queso. Best queso I've had. Perfect right before pigging out on pancakes and bacon.
DoraJuly 21, 2010The kids’ menu is more diverse than most places, with – gasp! – healthy options such as an English muffin with fresh fruit or the “hippie burger” (veggie burger). Powered by ParentsConnect.com
Madi RaurellSeptember 1, 2015They have the best omelets!! Get there early to avoid the morning crowd
SoundCloudMarch 4, 2012Open 24 hrs: try the migas taco, veggie burger, cowboy queso & the pumpkin pancakes if they have them!
