A Reply by the owner to my review was in a very negative manner. Yes owner, I would rather complain on Facebook regarding a small businesses failure because, as I said at the time we are finishing up eating everyone was just rushing around getting ready to close that was their focus, what was the point of bringing it to anyone's attention? With an attitude like yours there is no way you would comp my meal and I sure as heck would not wait for it to be recooked it was a lose-lose situation. Other reviewers- I recommend you go through all the reviews that have negative responses on this place;the owner comes back with sarcastic excuses for what they are saying was wrong with their meal. He is blind to anything being wrong with his place. That should tell you everything you need to know about this place he is going to have a rebuttal for everything. He gets a -10 out of being a lousy owner er.

The 2-hour drive to Old Forge to eat at Keys once or twice a year was a regular trip for us.. We have always enjoyed their pancakes. I guess that routine for us has come to an end. I got their special pumpkin wrapped around cheesecake topped with whipped cream special as I love pumpkin in the fall. It was missing the whip cream and completely raw in the pancake. It was just like taking a fork and eating pumpkin puree out of a can. I ordered a chocolate milk which was about 3 oz for two something and it was warm. Husband had one pancake he always gets chocolate chip. In the past the chips were mixed through the pancake batter and all cooked together. Two days ago it was a few on the plate then the plain pancake and a few mini chips on the top. Cutting corners much? He also ordered two scrambled eggs they came in a huge dinner plate and we're all spread out and looked very strange with some kind of seasoning which he did not want. Cost of his two eggs? $6. Yes $6 for two eggs even though the price has recently come down on eggs. We tried to get a waitress to refill our water and there were two young college age waitresses running around busy trying to refill everything for the end of their shift , as it was about a half hour till closing. That seemed to be their only focus that and showing off their hind ends in their mega short shorts. We miss the old keys and will not be back. not happening. about 30 bucks for a breakfast for two not ever returning here. That raw pumpkin taste is still in my mouth 3 days later. Gross. Didn't bother taking photos like I usually do with our restaurant trips, because it just wasn't worth it. Don't write something on your board like covered with whipped cream, and then not serve it that way!

Great food, the best corned beef hash in Old Forge. Although the service was somewhat lacking.

I was there with a friend I visit who lives in near Pulaski. We both had the best over easy eggs ever! I had hash with mine, she had a egg, and bacon on a bagel! Both delicious 😋 😍

The food was great and amazing portion! Stayed on top of refilling my coffee. Atmosphere adorable. Wasn’t a long wait. Waitress was very sweet. Would come here over and over! Good job!

If you’re looking for 6 eggs at grocery store prices, just make it yourself. But it’s always nice to sit down at a breakfast joint, be served a hot meal, and enjoy good coffee. Keys Pancake House was popping, and it’s not hard to see why — the food is consistent, the service is great, and the atmosphere is lively.It’s a greasy spoon at its finest. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Old Forge!

The atmosphere and service are great but the food was lacking in flavor and the pancakes were gritty. Maybe that's the way the food has always been maybe that's why it's so popular but it didn't work for me. We had the pancakes loaded home fries eggs Benny and apple stuffed French toast. If you go, I hope you have better tasting good.
The service was slow and servers forgot/ gave the incorrect food, the food in question was not good, the meat was good but not the best and the starches were terrible, the place itself was fine but nothing spectacular, overall, would not eat here again

I’m not impressed with waiting over an hour for pancakes, eggs and toast on August 18th 2025, when everyone else came, ate and went and we were still sitting there with coffee and water. I finally told the server we were paying for the coffee and leaving, when she said all of a sudden, “Your order is ready now.” We ate semi-cold food as the waitress apologized who set this whole thing up. We are not returning. Whoops! Big mistake. And you all know who I am too, which is why you all did this. How sad and miserable for you.
Update! 8/18/25 3:26 pm Eastern Time! I am so sorry I just offended the owner of Keyes Pancake House. It’s just that this unusual weird restaurant treatment follows me worldwide, so it’s pretty specific to me as I have been targeted. But I’m just the one who is sad and miserable and I am so dramatic. I must have lied about everything I posted. I am so sorry just as you are! Have a wonderful day.
PS: I don’t know you either. Nice meeting you online for an online tiff, though.
