The rich history and culture of the Lac du Flambeau reservation brings the past alive into the present. Many years ago, the ancient Ojibwe came from the Big Salt Water in the East. Their migration was prophesied to end where they found food that grew on water. This food they found was wild rice, which continues to be a staple in the Ojibwe diet. Fish were also abundant and were harvested by the light of a flaming torch; thus the name Lake of the Torches. The Ojibwe name for this region was Waswagoning, meaning "A place where they spear fish by torch light". During the summer months, visitors to the reservation can experience what it was like in the old days at Waswagoning Village.

The first Kerbey Lane Cafe opened on May 5, 1980 with the simple goal of having a cozy place to eat that offered healthy local food at a low price. At the time, this was a virtually competitive free restaurant concept. Austin’s cultural ideal of keeping it local by supporting area farmers, artists and businesses is as strong today as it was when Kerbey opened its doors. This cultural mantra is a large part of what shaped the environment of Kerbey Lane and continues to drive our efforts today.As expected, our cozy cafe seeping with local flair was exactly the kind of place Austin was looking for. With a successful restaurant, comprised of homemade furniture, family recipes and a staff of friends, we began to seek out expansion opportunities, which included longer hours and new locations. In 1986 the second location on South Lamar was opened with a diner inspired atmosphere. Our menu began to grow as the restaurant and community grew; now including more vegetarian items, salads and specials. Our preference for local and fresh ingredients actually shaped our menu, versus our menu dictating the ingredients we used. High quality, homegrown produce and meats are at the cornerstone of our success. Beginning in 2008 we began to sell our famous pancake mix at area HEB’s, Central Markets and Whole Foods. Kerbey Lane pancake mix is a Go Texan product, meaning it is produced locally by local employees. To see the mixes we have available, as well as several other great Kerbey retail items, check out our online store. Kerbey Lane believes we offer a unique product and atmosphere that definitely fits within the Austin culture and lives up to the “Keep Austin Weird” mentality. We strive to maintain our local reputation and increase our efforts at supporting and giving back to a community that has done so much to help us grow.
