“We've been going to Travis for decades. It's been a local known favorite for a lot of us who grew up in this area and remember many days gone by enjoying Travis Originals with good friends and family. Their food is great and reasonable, and their servers are friendly, courteous, and attentive, and make every visit a pleasurable experience.
I have to recommend their great specials. On Thursday any of their Mexican entrees are exceptional, my favorite is the Wet Burrito, my husband's is the Quesadilla, also the Nachos Supreme. Tuesday they have really good Sloppy Joes, and their Beef Barley soup is a favorite also. Their breakfasts are consistently good, and although they don't have them on the menu and occasionally on holidays they've had crepes which were outstanding. My point is Travis has always been a local favorite for a reason and that is consistent good food, prices and service. When you do it right generations return, and every time we travel we say " You know what they need around here, a Travis ! "“

I had my daughters 1st birthday in their banquet room yesterday and I’m over the moon happy with how it turned out! The staff was super helpful and always around when I needed anything.

I paid a small UPCHARGE but boy was it worth every penny! Way to go Antonio's Coney Island STILL with the best Coney AROUND“

“My father, Eddie Mesrey (born in Detroit | 1932–1980), grew up in the house that was once attached to Zell’s. He and his brother, George Mesrey (1930–1978), helped their uncle Michael Mesrey (born in Damascus, Syria | 1899–1993) run the little market that previously occupied this space (circa 1930s – 1960s).Back in the day it was known as Little Mike’s Market.Here’s my great-Uncle Mike and an unidentified E&B spokesmodel inside the market at Charlevoix and Seyburn, circa 1960.“

“Love Harvey’s and Swiss Chalet. The food is the best. The only thing missing is what happened to the days of good old customer service. I hate hearing what can I get you? When I pull up to the drive thru speaker and having a debit machine thrust at me when I get to the window with no talking.

Parking: All good“

Clemens. We will make this our meeting spot from now on.“
