See all

This is my home town place, the neighborhood bar I like. Been coming here for awhile, like the food and service. The 9.95 New York steak is a good deal, but the burgers are what I like. The scene changes all the time in a mixed neighborhood where everyone is welcome here. I like the different cultures. It's just my neighborhood bar, but I enjoy it. read more

So, I had to check my alcohol consumption, but yes...yes I just had one of the best burgers I've had in a while at a lotto bar. I tried them some time ago, for the cheap chicken strips and fish and chips, which were delicious. The place was pretty hopping, and the food was good. Tonight, their burger was just what I needed. Nothing fancy, just a classic burger with lettuce, tomato and onion, and a brioche bun (I think). It was classic and delicious, one of the best burgers I've had in some time. For $5 it was large and came with fries, I was blown away. I live way too close for comfort, but am already daydreaming about ordering breakfast to bring home and make myself the hero. Or Kelli can be the hero, whatever. ;) read more

I have been to Kelli's Cafe a few times. I thought it was a nice quiet place to mind one's own business and have a drink or two. I'd been there not ten minutes, sitting at the bar. It's a small place and there were only two other customers. A man walked in, looked at me and told me I was "good looking". I tried to ignore him and returned to my drink. He then asked me if I wanted to get laid. I told him "No, I am just here having a drink". I looked down at my phone, smiling at it uncomfortably. He said "your smile and the way you are moving your leg say otherwise". I then told him to leave me the hell alone. The female bartender was standing less than ten feet away, refusing to look in my direction. To my dismay this man continued to harass me, and she did NOTHING. I had not touched my drink, and politely said "Miss, can I please have a refund on this? I haven't touched it". I had to say this twice before she finally turned around and told me no. I walked out, and became increasingly angry. What kind of place is this where a strange man can sexually harass a woman minding her own business, and the bartender will not even ask him to stop? If it were busy, it might be a different story. Again, there were only two other customers there. I called. She answered. I said, "Excuse me, I was just there, and I would like to let you know that I was a bartender for 15 years. It really isn't acceptable to allow someone to make unwanted advances and, as a staff member, not ask him to stop, especially when you hear the woman asking to be left alone." She went off on me! She told me he is "displaced" and "does that to everyone" and that I am the "first person to have complained". Really? Then I suppose this bar is ordinarily filled with women with no boundaries. It is unacceptable to allow a male customer to continue to harass a female, and NOT DO A DARNED THING. I told her this. If this were my bar, I would have said "Dave, knock it off, leave the lady alone or no PBR for you". Pretty simple, right? You are the bartender, you control the booze, and you are a fellow woman! She had the audacity to tell me that *I* was somehow in the wrong, for expecting to enjoy a quiet drink without persistent sexual harassment from random male clients. I would NOT go to this bar again. Any venue that does not care about the safety of its female clientele to this extent, is a bar that ANY woman should stay far, far away from. I just want to warn others. read more

Went here because I live nearby and was snowed in for 3 days and was suffering from cabin fever and needed to get out of the house. I ordered 2 drinks which were stiff and a "Kelli's club sandwich". The club sandwich was terrible! I definitely could have made one way better at home and charged less than $9 for it. Couldn't finish half of it. Even in a snow storm I wouldn't recommend eating here, maybe try Dukes, The Pink Feather, Casa del sol or even KFC or Carl's Jr or dare I say it; 7-11 dogs before eating here. Drinking here is fine tho! read more

My husband and I go here because it's close to the house. We always have a good time. I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and everything I've had so far has been good. I really like their drink special it their grape koolaide (I think that's what it's called) read more

Worst service ever.. While we walked in and got stared down by a patron my husband asked her if there was a problem. She proceeded to cuss me and my husband out and calling us hoes and vulgar names. Mind you me my husband and I were only trying to get breakfast. The bartender was fine but if he has patrons in here who cuss out there new customers I can see how the business would be pushed away. read more

This place rocks. I don't know what that other person is talking about. Very nice even got asked by a customer in there on what type of songs we wanted to hear on the jukebox. Prices are great most things in the 5 or 6 dollar range. We will return. read more

A steak dinner for $9.95? It's true and it's a darn good steak. Now, it's a "local bar" but the employees are very nice and the food is excellent. I really don't know how you could beat the value. Also they are very fast and you can pre-order. read more

For an unexpectedly delicious meal this small local bar is where it's at! They also really good prices on their mixed drinks. It's best to go before midnight when its not packed. The employees are delightful and treat their regulars great. read more

Kelli's cafe has to be by far the place with most DUI in the state of Oregon people underage drinks there the worse and unsanitary food the service it's only good for the regulars and that's cause they let them drink there till they can no more I wouldn't recommended this place if it was the last open place in the metro area do me a favor save yourself a ticket or vandalized your vehicle cops are across the street waiting for you to come out of there happy new year read more

They got my order wrong they didnt even have it ready for me they had no to-go silver ware they put Slices Of Cheese on my salad instead of shredded. How do they expect someone to have a to-go order an expect them to eat with there hands? The BLT I had the bacon was hard as a rock couldnt even chew it. read more
