Reviews Summary
Keyes' Pancake House is a beloved local spot known for its generous portions and friendly service, offering a nostalgic diner experience. While many praise the pancakes and cozy atmosphere, some reviews mention inconsistent food quality and occasional service issues during busy periods.
"A recent visit to this charming pancake restaurant nestled in the heart of Old Forge, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Kathy at 72 who smiled the whole time and you could tell she still loves her job. The food was fantastic—perfectly fluffy pancakes with just the right amount of sweetness and a variety of delicious toppings to choose from.
The restaurant has a cozy, nostalgic vibe that really added to the experience. It felt like stepping back in time to a simpler era, where good food and friendly faces are all you need to start the day. I highly recommend stopping by if you're ever in town—it's a true gem!"

"Always fantastic food. Whenever we go to Old Forge, it's not a complete trip without at least 1 breakfast at Keyes! Friend people, good food and a huge selection of dishes on the menu!"

"Cute country diner - came here with a group of 5 around 9:00am. We got seated immediately, and were served by Julia. She was attentive and made sure we were always topped off on coffee. A mix of pancakes, French toast, omelette, and sides were ordered and none of the party had anything negative to say. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area!"
