Are you guys the ones who helped the homeless with backpacks and food ?

Was in the mood for pancakes for lunch. Haven't been to keys for years but have always thought of it as one of the Twin Cities' reliable breakfast all day spots.The pancakes were bad! Things were dirtier than expected. Yuck.

To start on a good note, our service was splendid! Server took care of us quickly and made sure to fulfill all of our needs but unfortunately the same cannot be said about the food. Got biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were incredibly dry and stale which as a breakfast chef, I have never encountered as the gravy usually substitutes the moisture. Hashbrowns were a bit too thick so the outside was very crispy but the inside was still pretty cool to the touch. My partner got the hilltop and needless to say that also left quite a bit to be desired.

Edit: My family was very excited to return to this beloved restaurant. I just wasn't overly impressed with my meal. I had the special blueberry stuffed French toast and a side of bacon. I was expecting some real blueberries maybe scattered on top. It had too much gooey cream cheesy mix blueberry mush inside and on the top.My husband and daughter did not complain about their meals. I just found it rather lacking this visit. I wish I would have returned the bacon. My French toast came out first and I had to remind the server that I ordered bacon. So I'm pretty sure it had been sitting around for a while. I will probably go to a different Keys next time.Has gone downhill since last visited. Bacon was served cold, and taste was bad. Questionable cleanliness.Parking: Paid street parking or walking a few blocks

The staff was very friendly and attentive to our larger group!Vegetarian options: I enjoyed the vegetable hash browns and they accommodated withholding cheese for me ?

The worst keys experience I have ever had. Got my daughter's order wrong. She ordered a meal and just got tenders. No fries, toast or coleslaw... When the fries did come, they were not done... No toast.Caramel roll just came out of the oven and was not done in the middle.My pancakes were made with almonds instead of blueberries.The server took my cup of coffee for a refill and had her fingers all over the sides where you drink (instead of the handle).Our entire meal was all brought out piece meal. Nothing came at the same time.There is a fee for when you pay with a card, which is new to me. We did get some charges taken off the bill and I still left 20% because it wasn't entirely on the server.In hindsight, this key's location always seems to run a little differently than the others. My best experiences are downtown STP. I will never come back to this location.
