What People Are Saying About Kerbey Lane Cafe

In Short – A typical Austin mix of students, professors and hipsters recovering from a night imbibing on the town, this place is cozy and homey. You're sure to happen upon an interesting conversation or two. A short stack of fluffy gingerbread pancakes will make you unable to move. A dessert that has to be ordered to be believed is the rich tofu chocolate cheezecake.

Decent and convenient location
by Ryan88
Kerbey Lane has two things going for it...the location and decent pancakes. Their food isn't spectacular by a long shot and I would honestly prefer a chain restaurant like IHOP to a lot of their options. However the huge size of their decent pancakes does a lot to help them out. The servers aren't as rude as they are made out to be. If you are in the UT area and want a quick short stack and coffee then this is the place for you. However, if you are looking for a high quality and all around delicious saturday morning breakfast I recommend Hoover's or The Original Pancake House

Amazing Atmosphere
by mondieu
I went to Kerbey Lane across from campus for the first time pretty recently and had a fantastic time!
I had to wait, which could have been annoying, but the host was playing really awesome music and had the cutest little pandas on his stand!
He was pretty adorable, too! He was the perfect first taste to a really amazing staff. I don't think I've had a more hospitable dining experience in Austin.
The food was good. Excellent late-night munchies. Filled up on queso, but i was my own undoing there.
I would totally go back again just to chat with the host, though.
- Pros: Weekend Host, Good Service
- Cons: drunken crowds

The Details on Kerbey Lane Cafe
The Extras:
Unlike the other Kerbey Lanes, there's usually live music every weekend on the patio.
Look Good:
Almost all of the fruits and veggies come from local markets, chiefly Hill Country Produce. Support your local farmer. In Kerbey Lane's case, her name is Cora.
When to Go:
When the bars close, this place is packed. But curiously, from mid-afternoon to past dinnertime, it's often empty
