A Local Favorite Gets the Spotlight

If you’ve ever been to Keys Cafe, you know it’s more than just a place to eat—it’s a place that feels like home. The food is fabulous, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and every meal feels made with love. The Forest Lake Keys Cafe is no different!

Being recognized as a recommended restaurant by Restaurant Guru is no small feat—but for Keys Cafe, it’s well-deserved. From scratch-made comfort food to the friendly, small-town service, it’s easy to see why this spot earned high praise. 

As one Google reviewer put it: “Big menu. Breakfast, lunch, and dinners. It’s all good. And always a huge cookie to go. As big as your face!!! Now that’s a cookie!!!”

When the food is that good (and the cookies are that big), it’s no wonder Keys Cafe is a local favorite and now a Restaurant Guru standout.

Best Burgers

Sure, Keys Cafe is famous for its hearty breakfasts—but their burgers deserve just as much attention. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic cheeseburger or something with a twist, there’s something for every burger lover here.

Each one is made with either Certified Angus Beef or Keys’ own hand-pattied ground turkey, ensuring quality and flavor in every bite. And if you don’t see exactly what you want? You can build your own burger masterpiece, perfectly suited to your taste.

Excellent Service

At Keys Cafe, the food may draw you in—but it’s the people who keep you coming back. Many of the servers have been part of the Keys family for years, greeting customers with familiar smiles and a genuine warmth that makes dining here special. One happy customer shared: “Service here is always friendly, and being a family-owned and run business, it’s nice to see familiar faces and smiles over the years.”

That kind of consistency and care is what transforms a café into a community favorite.
