Kerbey Lane Cafe - University

Chicken and pancakes. You get anything else you're wrong. Their other food is good too don't get me wrong. But gosh dang that chicken and pancakes is GAS. Just trust.

Check your bank statement. I understand mistakes happen but I was overcharged $20 which is unacceptable. I had to call to get it fixed. No issues with the food.

Been going to kerbey lane my whole life, it’s where I go when I want laid back diner vibes. I stopped by recently and I couldn’t believe it when my server started giving me the corporate “spiel” lol. I guess they’re trying to make it seem like an upscale place now? I’m just trying to have some pancakes lol. Don’t get me wrong, the staff were lovely as always. But they’re definitely trying to make it fancy or something, it’s weird.

Second Kerbey I have been to; it continue to have excellent food and lots of variety. I highly recommend

Perhaps I should have ordered breakfast here, as that's what they are known for, but I opted for dinner instead because it was dinner time. The only thing that was good here was the queso and my chicken. Everything else was cold or bland. We tried to save the night by ordering apple cobbler (or pie... I'm not sure which one) à la mode. I think they try to warm it up by popping it in the oven, so the edges are warm, but it's still frozen in the middle. No ice cream came with it. They took it back to warm it up for us again after we mentioned the temperature was too cold. It came back again with warm edges and a frozen middle. The whole thing was disappointing because I had heard such amazing things about this place. Maybe I'll come back and try breakfast sometime, but I'm definitely never ordering dinner items here again.

Management changed… the location has a sign how kerbey lane is for everyone…but there is a new guy behind the counter bossing everyone… nice. My favorite table helps all quit or got fired by him. Everything changed to some corporate bland money grabbing scheme. There is no soul at this restaurant anymore.

This place was a good hang out place for my friend, my boyfriend and I. They had great service, a cute space with comfortable seating. The food was also good! A few things I noticed was apon walking in I had trouble getting around with my mobility aid. A few parts of the restraint like near the bar and towards the back of the restaurant are a little difficult to navigate if you have a cane or wheelchair. The best place to get around is the Isle in the middle of the restaurant but it may be a little difficult to get to other seating. The other thing we noticed was little black specks in my friends water. We notified the waiter we had and she quickly changed it out and apologized. overall it was a decent experience and definitely a good place to chill for brunch.

Honestly, horrible staff and service.
Food is mid to be honest, but what’s worse is the price. Btw don’t even bother signing up for the wait list they’ll just take who ever. I waited in line 1hour +15 min onto my original time just to be told I couldn’t seat where I requested. Ridiculous, the staff is very unprofessional, I guess they’ll take whoever now, I miss the old staff.

The quality has gone downhill. The “seasoned home fries” are bland reheated frozen potato squares. The pancake was flat and flavorless. The bacon was grisly. The queso was watered down. The server was very amateur—not communicating when there would be long delays. Disappointed. Maybe it’s just this location.

Food and drink were very good. We are currently on hour two of being neglected by our server; however. My water glass has been empty since I’ve sat down. Food took a half hour to come out and the wait was hardly acknowledged.
