Comfortable feel walking, it's very spacious. The employees do not wear uniforms so the workers can only be distinguished by an small apron or a tablet in hand. The hostess did not offer us a high chair or kids menu for my 3 year old. We asked for sweet tea, and were told they had sweet tea.When the unsweet tea showed up, I asked the waitress again if they had sweet tea, to which she replied, "Yes." When asked for sweet tea a second time, she explained that they do not have sweet tea but they can add simple-syrup, or liquid sugar, to make it sweet. We ordered a French toast platter, kids breakfast platter, and salmon tacos. The eggs were very over done(we asked for scrambled), the sausage and bacon tasted like they were fake meat with a bad aftertaste.The salmon tacos had very minimal salmon and more carrots and avocado than could fit in the tortilla. The best thing was the queso, which tasted good and the small serving was larger than most restaurants offer as a large serving. Not recommended for home-grown conservatives or people who expect service when they are paying for it.
I’ve been going to kerbey lane for over 30 years.This location does not disappoint.They even made me my favorite cinnamon raisin pancakes great service.thank you
When you’re in Austin it’s almost tradition to go to Kerbey Lane for a homey, filling meal.Kerbey always has a great seasonal menu and a fixed menu featuring breakfast (can be ordered anytime), Tex-Mex, and all American fare.This visit I was feeling like getting enchiladas and my friend got their seasonal Mac with chicken tenders.Food tastes just how you’d expect it to, and everything is priced reasonably.We had amazing service from Sean at this location, and he packaged our food to go with an extra side of chips and salsa without us asking.Thank you for the attentive and thoughtful service, and we’ll definitely be back to this Kerbey location!
