You can scarcely call yourself a Twin Citian if you’ve never eaten at a Keys Café. The venerable local chain now boasts seven branches, each of which maintains a fiercely devoted following. Breakfasts are a big deal here, packing the house on weekends with hash brown-hungry locals looking for straightforward skillets and scrambles. Prices tend to be slightly higher than those at some comparable diners, but the massive portions are worth it. This family-owned and operated business serves three hearty American meals per day, including omelettes, club sandwiches and meatloaf dinners alongside fresh-baked bread. Cream pie anyone?
