Abalone Bar and Grill

Had the rib eye was very tasty. We ate at the bar and they were very friendly. For not full service we did not feel slighted at all. I would come back for sure.

This restaurant is inside the Holiday Inn, and right next to a slots only casino. Food is hot and tasty, and drinks are too! But no waitstaff. You order in line with the cashier. Everyone gets a beeper, and beepers were constantly sounding off..lol....even after orders were picked up. The place could use some music to liven up the atmosphere. Kind of stale, sorry to say, not much decor either. There's a large outdoor dining area, that can be seen through huge windows from the indoor seating area, with room enough for some live music!...in Spring and Summer...Hint,hint...=)

First - if you go here expecting a full-service restaurant, you will be disappointed. It's more like a cafeteria or fast food restaurant in that you order at the corner of the bar, and pick your own food up at the kitchen window.

Let’s get to the actual reason you're reading this though - you need to find somewhere to eat in Klamath. This place fits that description well. Although their menu has been pared down from the previous pictures online (I'm posting an updated one with this review), they still offer something for everyone, and at a reasonable price too. No kid's menu, but you could easily split some of the offerings for smaller kids. The soup in bread bowl (when we went) was either chili or clam chowder, and definitely enough for a meal.

Overall, the food was made fresh to order and tasted good. So, if you can overlook having to walk the 20 or so steps to pick up your food from the cointer, it's a great option for good food.

Side note: If you have kids and are staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Klamath, this is the only restaurant that you can eat in within walking distance. It's in the casino next door, which is a smoke free facility.
