Keystone Kitchen
About This Spot
Stepping into Keystone Kitchen feels like settling into a familiar living room with the comforting hum of friendly conversation and the inviting aroma of hearty home cooking. Nestled in New Alexandria, this unpretentious family spot carries the warmth of a neighborhood gathering place—where the pace slows just enough for you to savor a moment or two. Here, the chatter of neighbors blends softly with the clink of plates and the occasional laughter, all beneath walls that quietly nod to the region’s local roots.
The mood inside is easygoing and genuine, striking a balance between lively and relaxed. It's the kind of place where a midday break can stretch into a leisurely meal, and weekend breakfasts feel like a small celebration despite their familiar, simple pleasures. Whether you arrive early for a stack of banana pancakes or drop by later for a plate loaded with comfort, there’s a sense that every dish is crafted with thought and a touch of care—never rushed, never forced.
The menu here invites conversation without overwhelming it. You might find crispy fries tossed with just the right spices alongside a burger bursting with melting cheese, or a warm plate of country fried steak paired with sausage gravy that tastes like it’s been perfected over years of family Sunday mornings. There’s an easy harmony between classic comfort food and unexpected touches like a buffalo chicken stromboli or the satisfying kick of fried pepper jack cheese—each bite offering a small discovery wrapped in familiarity.
Behind the counter, there’s a quiet attentiveness from the staff that makes you feel seen without being fussed over—like visiting someone’s kitchen where you’re more than a customer, but a welcomed guest. Generous portions and reasonable prices reinforce the feeling that this is a place made for coming back to, again and again, a reliable spot on a road trip or a weekend retreat from routine.
Keystone Kitchen invites you to slow down, to reconnect with food that comforts and people who care, nestled in a cozy setting that honors both community and the understated joy of shared meals.

Stopped here for lunch on a whim while passing through and left far from disappointed and with very full bellies. The cheesesteak was heavy on the cheese and the steak. The roast beef and cheddar sammy was outstanding. The fries were crispy and flavorful. The fried pepper jack cheese appetizer had just the right amount of kick. You guys keep doing what you're doing and serving up quality food at reasonable prices. This place is exactly why I avoid chain restaurants and seek out these "hole-in-the-wall" gems. If you haven't stopped, do it!

5 stars across the board here... literally never disappointed! I've been coming here for years and I've never had a bad plate, truly great down home cooking with all kinds of new weekly specials. The staff is amazing and I'll always feel like this is 'my kitchen away from home'.

We were there on a Saturday afternoon, we tried the onion rings and they were really good nice portions. I tried the mushrooms and Swiss burger and had fries. I must say it was the best burger I have ever had. I really like the spices that they put on the fries. Service was great and the owner, I know that he was the one who brought out our meals, I highly recommend that you give this diner a try.

Delicious comfort food. A delightful diner with decor celebrating local history. Portions are generous. Prices are very reasonable. The service team is incredible at taking care of the customers. This is the kind of place that deserves a detour from the interstate.

Visited on a Sunday when the breakfast menu is the only thing to choose from. My wife really enjoyed hers. My food was good but the vegetables in my Western omelet were still pretty raw. The service was excellent. And the aesthetics of the restaurant were pretty nice.

I just recently started coming here as I heard that this was the place to be if you're looking for a good old fashioned family breakfast. I took my mother out as a treat and we were not disappointed. Walking in, you immediately get that feeling of a local hot spot. They were really busy but we were greeted promptly and we sat at a booth. The atmosphere sort of brings you back to a time where family's went out to eat and had a day to genuinely look forward to. Which complimented the meal perfectly. I ordered the Steak and Eggs. Medium rare steak, over medium eggs, hash browns, Rye toast, and a coffee. She ordered the blueberry pancake. The food came out quickly and was done to perfection. The butter on my steak really brought the flavor forward as I enjoyed every bite. I also was able to get a taste of the blueberry pancake and it was amazing. We will definitely keep coming back!

Wonderful little spot. The food was delicious and you can tell the people here know the locals well. We picked this place on a whim while traveling home and it's well worth the stop. We ordered the #4 combo and the Keystone omelet. The coffee was also fantastic!!

Worth our 30 minute drive. Always the best homemade food. Fried cheese is a must and we get it as an appetizer for breakfast or anytime a day!!! Last 10 times here I've gotten the chicken fried steak with its homemade sausage gravy, eggs and home fries. The staff and owner our the best!
