    Mermaid is One of my favorite places to eat in town. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and I enjoyed each one. Each day they have a new soup, it’s always different and again, I’ve liked every one that I’ve tried! The menu Includes soup, salad, sandwiches, wraps and cold pasta. Vegetarian options available. Great place for a healthy but delicious meal. Some of my favorites are the spicy portobello wrap and the turkey club panini. I️ often go on my lunch hour and have enough time to sit down and eat because they are quick. The only thing I would change is the open hours, they’re only open 10-2, Monday-Friday :( they also have yummy cookies and fresh strawberry lemonade!

    The worst part is trying to decide what to order! It’s all so fresh and delicious. The menu leaves you wanting one of everything! The staff is so friendly every time I’m here. This time we had the creamy spinach and artichoke soup, the bleu cheese wrap for me and the pear blossom wrap for my friend, and we split a twisted tarragon salad. Super yummy! I can’t get enough of the twisted tarragon salad! 10/10!

    Slightly crowded when we arrived but we were seated quickly. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Since it was late in the day, they were low or out of some items but what we did get was very, very good! I got the Reuben and my sister got the Berry Brie. I enjoyed my clam chowder very much even though it wasn't what I expected. Not the creamy concoction one thinks of when have chowder but a vegetable rich broth with large chunks of vegetables and clams. Different but good.

    Was driving through Klamath Falls and was in need of a tasty lunch break. Mermaid Garden Cafe was the perfect spot to satisfy my appetite! The place was jam packed but I still received fast service with a smile and friendliness. I ordered a Cheddar and Apple sandwich with the Thai slaw and it was so delicious! I highly recommend this cute joint!

    Delightful and delicious! On our way through town we stopped and had lunch. Super friendly staff and fresh salads and sandwiches. We are especially enjoyed the strawberry lemonade and the Southwest grilled cheese with chicken.

    Found this little place just passing through town. Lovely lady waited on us, food was great as was the iced tea. Great little panini with home-made tomato soup.

    My wife and I have been coming here for years. I highly recommend the spicy portobello panini with a side of soup and don't forget to get some cookies.

    This was a very nice find in Klamath Falls as we traveled through. The sandwich options are nice variations on your standard sammies. I had the apple and cheddar on sour dough. YUM! Chix soup also good, and salad with tarragon dressing was new to me and nice.

    Clean fresh ingredients and delicious soups rotating daily. As the name would suggest it's decorated in mermaid theme. Very friendly staff too.

    I had the chicken and corn cream chowder soup and the spicy portobello warm sandwich. They were the perfect meal. Yum, yum, yum!

    Of all the lunch spots in all the world a finer one than this one would be hard ,if not impossible to find. Upon entering this downtown eatery, one is treated to indeed a veritable Garden with a Mermaid theme. Each table has a fish hand painted on it. There are mermaids on the walls and on the tables. It would have been easy to over do this theme but the owner demonstrated her good taste by keeping it well within bounds and very comfortable. We were then treated to the best of service by the ever smiling Julie. When we couldn't decide between clam chowder and Italian , she immediately offered to bring samples and when we also couldn't decide on a salad dressing she did the same. With a high level of authenticity and genuine friendliness Julies' unpretentious service made dining a calming and satisfying experience. We are grateful to her. Now to the food. The menue while not exensive offered enough variation to satisfy almost any appetite. We chose a cup of both of the day's soups, two salads and a half Rueben sandwich. The soups were superb. The Italian soup was very flavorful and rich without being at all overbearing. The clam chowder was a revelation on what clam chowder could and should be. A very light cream base supported a generous anount of clams surrounded by a symphony of herbs, a bit of onion, some carrot and celery and other flavor enhancers. Not to mention some potato cooked to potatoey goodness. Not overdone and not mushy either. The Italian soup was rich and meaty with slightly spicy sausage. The beans were pefectly done holding their shape without being too soft. Do not let me get started on the salad except say they were tasted delights in their own rights. If all that were not enough there was the perfect iced tea. Substantial taste without being bitter from being overbrewed. Last but far from least four house made cookies with great flavor, texture and appearence. Having eaten a lunch fit for royality, the bill was a true amazement $37.00 for the whole thing. I would without hesitation drive 50 miles out of my way in a snow storm for such a lunch. Get there as soon as you can.

    Great food, so much I want to try now after seeing the menu and eating my first sandwich there! Soup was good too.

  • 5/5 Lauren B. 2 years ago on Google
    A little gem we've been hearing about, and it lived up to everything we had heard. The owner, Kelli, makes all the soups from scratch. Our waitress, Kathy, seemed to know all the customers. I think I just ate the best clam chowder I've ever had! I had a wrap with mine, also delicious, and my husband had a panini with coleslaw and potato salad. We both ate too much, but it was so good!

  • 5/5 Kelly T. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful spot for a quality lunch. Panini's and wraps are the featured dishes. Nice option for Thai flavored coleslaw as side dish with your order. Employees are super friendly, always smiling.

    We were passing through town on the way further north and stopped to get lunch here, thinking it would just a typical small town sandwich shop, but we were in for a treat! Perfect portion sizes and fantastic flavor combos. We had the apple and cheddar sandwich and the buffalo blue wrap. Both were delicious! So much so that we're trying to figure out how we could recreate them at home. Seriously tasty and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to try more new flavors next time we come through town.
