We got the coffee cake, country, fried steak and eggs, country potatoes and biscuit and gravy.
Everything was just okay, the country fried steak is purchased, not hand assembled, also their corned beef hashes in a can so I didn't want that.
The biscuit and gravy were both Fair, nothing exciting there to be seen.
My coffee was pretty good. My partner's hot tea she said wasn't the best but we usually bring our own tea bags because that's common.
The employees are extremely nice and they do have pies, although I forgot to ask if they're homemade.
One breakfast with two extra eggs, the coffee cake, and two hot drinks came out $40
Parking: There's there is room for lots of vehicles, RVs trailers and big rigs

This place is rough. Wait staff wasn’t very welcoming. Floors and tables very dirty, didn’t sweep where we sat. Felt very unsanitary.
The food was terrible. Nothing has any seasonings or flavor. French dip was flavorless. Beef burrito was flavorless mush. Country Fried Steak was flavorless with cold gravy. Gravy was cold on the biscuits, which were still very dry and stale. Hamburger tasted like it came from a school cafeteria.
Prices are pretty rough for what you get. $120 to feed 4 adults and 2 kids.
Definitely not a place we’ll be going back to.

Service is excellent here and so friendly. Breakfast and the decor is ok. The Keene Cafe is unique for its history and the lovely country setting.

The Keene Cafe is a classic diner located in Keene, California. It's a popular spot for locals and travelers alike, known for its delicious and affordable comfort food. The cafe has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is attentive.
My family and I stopped here after visiting the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument and I would recommend stopping here to fuel up during your next road trip.
Service was great, super friendly and many good options. Worth the stop

Have been coming here every so often over the years. What happened to the portion sizes?
I got a pastrami sandwich this time, literally two slices of meat on it barely thicker than the pickle. The fries were fine, this was an 18$ meal. I didn’t have time to send it back, it was at best a 4$ sandwich, and even then I’d be disappointed. They also charged for tap water, not sure what’s going on with that but maybe they need to tell people so we can bring our own water and save 3.75.
This is a cool old diner that I used to like going to, not worth it anymore with current prices and laughably small sandwiches.
