Keith's serves "Southern Comfort" food. Such as chicken fried steak, chicken strips. Hamburgers and salads. The specialty is homemade steak fingers. Hand cut and hand breaded. Cooked to order

...the food is pretty pricey! I had heard about them having the best steak finger and they really are the best I've tasted this far. The fries were just okay, but I'm ready to see what the actual burgers taste like. I'll be visiting again soon.

Arrived on Sunday, Jan 21, around 11:30. Didnât have to wait, which is unusual. Restaurant was crowded. Seated at a 4 top with some friends. Took a while to get drink order in. Took another bit to get food order in. Took about 25 minutes to get food to table. I ordered half rack ribs. Came out Luke warm..very tough. Bar-B-Que sauce looked like brown paste. Ordered sweet potatoe with marshmallows. Marshmallows were burnt to a crisp. Wife order delivery 6 ounce steak. Came out barely warm. We had stopped going to Texas Roadhouse sometime back because of the food quality. Had to wait another 20 minutes after we finished meal to get our ticket. Got a gift card for Christmas and decided to try it again. Still hasnât improved. Wonât be back.

Came to this place as it does have great food. Service from our waitress was great, but we waited an hour an half for our food. Our food was nothing special it was breakfast and lunch. We should have not waited that long for our food from anywhere.Thanks for stopping by, It is our goal to WOW each and every guest that visits us, so weâre sorry to hear this wasnât the case with you. We do hope you give us another chance in the future to do just that.

Staff brought a sample of several items to try. The seafood gumbo is excellent. The alligator bites were too expensive for the small amount served for an appetizer. The crawfish etouffee was very good.

Unbelievable... NOT...!!I went at 8:30 tonight (they close at 10..). About a 15 minute drive from where I am staying... Can't wait for some good soul food..!I place an order to go... Sit down to wait... about 5-7 minutes elapse and the girl comes out to inform me that they are OUT of 5 of their 7 entrees on the menu... ARE YOU KIDDING ME...!!This place can't be legitimate or taken seriously about their "business".Fool me once shame on me... Fool me twice... Well, you'll NEVER get that opportunity...!!

I enjoy eating at this restaurant, but it's not my personal favorite. It's a nice change of pace and is a good choice if you are downtown which is rare for me to go downtown. But, there are people I know who really enjoy eating at this restaurant a lot.

This is our go to restaurant when in Odessa. Steaks very flavorful and quite reasonably priced. Service is a little sllo. Our waiter admitted they were underhanded and it is so difficult to get workers. Same every where else in Odessa.We usually get the senior meal as we just can't eat a large steak any more. With the Rolls and cheese block, a very filling meal for us.

Always a little crowded but worth the wait sometimes to get seated. Service was very good and food has always been excellent. This was my third to visit this place. Much younger crowd, a little noisy and I wouldn't consider it a good place to bring my family and kids. Took a little too long to get served a cocktail after ordering. I've had the filet mignon and the trout and both were very good. We all had the duo chips and dip and it was very good. Definitely a good place to try with friends and co-workers.
