Kelli’s Cafe

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.

wonderful food! great servers (MISS YOU DJ!) and awesome atmosphere
cheap too!
get the cheeseburger & fries. itll blow yo mind

Amazing place to come and have fun. Cheap drinks and D’Jay makes the best food around! Don’t listen to first review you’re in s.e. portland toughen up.

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.

I have been to Kelli’s Café 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.
