 | Austin Kerbey Lane Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 12 |  |
Its 3am, you have been out all night drinking and carousing on 6th St, and you know it is not healthy to go to bed on an empty liquored up stomach... what do you do hotshot... what do you do? Ok, sorry had a "Speed" flashback. When faced with this dilemna, I like to satisfy my late night dining needs at Kerbey Lane Cafe.
The gingerbread pancakes are absolutely awesome, and the queso is the key to a good plate of migas. Leave a Comment

This place has the best homefries ever. It serves all kinds of food, from all-day breakfast to hummus tacos to sandwiches to enchiladas, and they're all surprisingly excellent. The atmosphere is very eclectic, with a diverse crowd and funky waitstaff. There are about five different locations for the restaurant, but the best food is at the original location, on 3704 Kerbey Lane. It's always busy so you should expect to wait a little bit, but it's well worth it.
I'm partial to the grilled chicked sandwich with homefries. It's a massive plate of unforgettable food. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 3704 Kerbey Lane, Austin, TX

They have nice breakfasts and good grilled sandwiches. That's pretty much what I'd come for, and that's what a lot of other people come for too. You can wait for more than half an hour on weekends just to get a table. Their dinner menus usually aren't that great. In fact, I've usually been disappointed. Never so with their breakfasts, however. It's always relaxed, and a good place to hang out with friends. I like the UT location, but many people prefer the original location, which is off 35th/38th on Kerbey Lane (not obvious at all). This restaurant is almost an Austin landmark, and everyone living here should check it out. Unlike many landmark restaurants, it's actually maintained fairly decent food for a great price.
I like their grilled portobello mushroom sandwich. They also have great fried potato wedges. Pancakes are also a good choice.

There are three other locations too. I've been to all of them, but this one is probably the most centrally located if you're downtown. (Or you could try the south Austin location which is a straight shot out Congress.)Website: www.kerbeylanecafe.com

I've mixed feelings about the Kerbey Lane Cafe. The atmosphere of the place was nice and cosy and I really like the idea that they're growing their own products, but the service wasn't all that great (the waitress was quite put off by my French ID and wouldn't serve me beer) and the food perhaps wasn't all that fresh. But it's such a favorite with the locals, I'd be willing to give it one more try...
We were there for lunch but apparently it's better for breakfast Leave a Comment

I'm talking about the original now: an Austin culinary icon, they serve homegrown, pesticide-free vegetables and free-range beef and pork. Over 80 items on the menu and open 24 hours a day.

Any Kerby Lane joint is great here.
Going to Kerby is very Austin. After midnite visits are preferable, or breakfasts.
Any Pancake selection. I swear, Austin has the best pancakes in the world. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: I used to go to the one on South Lamar

When people ask me at my job "Where's a good place to eat that's truely Austin?" I always suggest Kerbey. Of course I myself have only been there after dark (usually around midnight), but no matter which Kerbey you pick...you'll be sure to see what Austin's got. The original Kerbey is kind of hidden off of 38th street by Seton Hospital, if you can find it - it's the only one out of the three who serves up Waffles. The one I've been to the most is Kerbey off of the Drag (and for you NON-Austinites...the Drag = Guadalupe), it's got the BEST of my favorite dish (which you'll see down below). Of course, if you're South or North you'll find a Kerbey as well.
Now a bit of a warning: The service is usually slow - well mostly always, so if you're in a rush or HATE seeing people who come after you sometime get served before you, try a fast food place instead. BUT- if you want to try a laid-back and great breakfast place, Kerbey's the place!
It sounded weird when I first got it, but now I'm a sucker for it:
Chipolte Grilled Cheese Sandwhich with Mashed Potatoes
But of course their pancakes kick-ass too!

This place just reeks laid-back, casual, and cool, just like the city of Austin itself. Even the staff seems to be young and cool. The menu has an amazing selection, including vegetarian, Tex-Mex, and general American fare. There are so many choices, including seasonal selections like cranberry apple cheesecake. Last time I went, the table next to mine ordered pumpkin pancakes that smelled incredible. The food is pretty good, too, of course. If you drive a big car or truck, the parking lot is kind of annoying.
I haven't had that many dishes from this place yet, but I had a pear and cheddar salad and chicken tortilla soup that were good. Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: South Lamar Blvd.

Kerbey lane is a diner / restaurant. There are 3 in Austin. the original is on 38th and kerbey, it is in an old house that has been converted to a restaurant. They are mostly vegetarian, and grow most of their own produce. Kerbey north and south have a more traditional "diner" layout. Also they are open 24 hours, one of the few restaurants in town that is. also they bake their own bread and have a lot od "organic" stuff.
Everyone goes for 2 things - the pancakes as big as your head, and the kerbey queso - melted cheese with guacamole in it. the pancakes change daily, there is always a different special with fruit in it. A short stack is enough for a meal - 3 huge panckakes. I went with some friends once and my buddy Mark got a free slice of cheescake because he was actually able to finish a "full stack" Leave a Comment
