Came for the fond memories of the cheeseburger and it's still a tasty, greasy spoon diner burger! Soft bun, well cooked, grilled onions and cheese. (fyi: pickles OTS in shop, but on burger to go -wth?) The fries are decent. The patty melt a bit too gooey and hot for me. love the bright diner lights and quiet in there. read more

There is not many diners like this around any longer. We went for breakfast / lunch, and it was everything that was expected. Just a little diner with friendly wait staff, hot coffee and a delicious breakfast. Not many places you will find that are open 24 hours. The breakfast was hot and delicious and the potatoes were on point. The place was well kept, and clean, for the age I was expecting that just a little bit more dinge, I was pleasantly surprised. The only odd part about this entire experience is the dishwasher on the front line behind the counter. Not in a bad way, just odd LOL. Stop in if you need a little bite for lunch or a late night breakfast. read more

Staple greasy spoon of the shores for reliable omelets and sliders. Very nice staff and clean!

Great service, good food, love the Western Omelette! The waitstaff is friendly & efficient! This is our go to place for good food & service!

Part delicious burgers, part nostalgia. I just love this place and their greasy (I don't mean that in a derogatory way) sliders. These are the same sliders that they've been serving up for decades. A true classic staple and always a late night hit. read more

Solid slider burger on a late night in SCS. The place is small but just right for the file that is needed. An east side diner at its best. Enjoy! read more

Good greasy fresh off the grill comfy food! Burgers, breakfast, coffee, fries and all! Hours are different from the past because you could go and sit in the diner late night after going out like 2am and your table of people was not the only one there. It used to be 24 hours on weekends. I miss that. Service is awesome and simple clean diner feel. read more

The best breakfast and cheese burgers in town. The people that work there are very nice

I will give five stars when I feel the servers are paying attention to the counter. They tend to all clump together by the register, and neglect the counter customers. They are nice enough, just not paying attention to us counter folks. Food is always great... I will continue to seek the abuse at the counter.... read more

Picked up 10 cheeseburgers and french fries fries are good burgers were trash. Something was really off. I've been going here 30+ years probably four out of the last five times I've been there. The food is really gone downhill. read more

Food is on point . Their sliders are as good as anywhere seldom if ever do I dine in but when I have their service was adequate......

Unbiasedly, there's a lot to dislike about Travis. The service is hit or miss, it definitely isn't the cleanest place in the world, and they charge a 3.5% service charge for card payments. If you're wondering why I'm still giving it a 5 star rating, it's because their cheap, greasy burgers are the best in the Grosse Pointe/St Clair Shores area. They still taste the same as I remember them as a young teenager. As long as that stands, I'll continue recommending Travis and giving them my business. read more

Hole in the wall places turn out to be some of the best places! Travis is a SCS staple and has been for well over 50 years. It wasn't until recently that I've tried it for the first time. Travis is known for their sliders, in addition to their assortment of diner options. Due to the pandemic they are now option from 6am - 10pm instead of their posted hours of 24 hours. Completely understandable. You can certainly tell everyone at Travis' takes pride in their food, as everything is fresh. The slider buns are the perfect amount of doughy and soft. The onions are grilled, but never burnt. The sliders are a decent size, as well. Six sliders runs you about $12 (this was the Doordash price. Not sure what it is in store) For around $20 you can get a 6 pack of sliders, onion rings and fries and a large shake. Perfect for a family to share. Can't wait to try more options soon! read more

How does a tiny diner get a 5 star review for breakfast? Food cooked exactly how I requested, hash browns well done. I ordered the Super Breakfast, 2 eggs, hash browns, toast, 1 slice ham, 1 sausage patty and 3 pieces of bacon $7.65. it has been too long since I found a restaurant that understands that means crunchy on the outside, which Travis coffee shop does. The rye bread toast was hot and crunchy. The sausage patty had a nice peppery flavor. Staff extremely friendly and attentive. Great value for the price.. Due to lack of staff, that most places are experiencing during covid 19, they are not opened 24x7. read more

Three tries I'm done. I have been eating their slider burgers for years. Something has changed. The buns are larger and different. They do not taste the same. Since the past spring of 2023, I have been back three times over the summer months. They were terrible, same different buns, hardly any onions, and very small burgers. I won't be back!! read more

An iconic coffee shop open for 50+ years. Waitress had the appropriate amount of snark for our table - that is a compliment. Burger and fries were fine, but nothing special. Will I return? Only if I happen to be in the neighborhood and happen to be hungry. read more

Every one working here needs to take a serve safe class. Private conversations are more important than cooking food orders.

Best sliders hands down! Love this place. Been going there since around 2009ish. Never disappointed. You can actually taste every ingredient and it's quick. Even the breakfast is good, but if you're looking for a good slider this is the place. Just thinking of them makes me drool yummmmm read more

Great pick for a great slider! My wife and I were craving sliders so we decided to go for a drive(we live in Troy). This was immediately a fantastic decision! My wife is from Livonia and swears by Bates but she did enjoy her sliders. I love these and would make the drive again just for the sliders. Only negative was the coney. Beans in the chili. But the woman who took our order was the cutest old woman ever! I would also make the drive back to see her again. Slider with cheese:5 stars Coney:2 stars Old Woman who took our order and delivered it to our car:10 stars! read more

Best sliders on the east side!! Have been eating here since I was a kid and the food is consistently great!!

"Travis is where the earth people go." that's what my grandfather called all the workers that what sit at the counter when i was a kid. those in the know get a little one with cheese, and an order of fries. they are as good today as they were the first time i had them. an absolute staple. read more

I used to love this place. My best friend from Indiana wants to go here everytime she comes to town. My last 3 experiences were horrible. This place has gone downhill. A cooked to death burger with about 10 (no exaggeration) French fries was the last straw. I'm sorry, but Covid did not make everybody forget how to cook. I'm sick of flushing my money down the toilet. read more

We stopped by recently for breakfast while out running errands. Since there is no dine in option I walked in and placed my order. The employees all seemed to take covid precautions and there was sanitizer available for guests. Ordered a standard breakfast (eggs, sausage, hash browns) and their breakfast wrap. All pretty much what I expected. The service was great, though. The cashier after taking my order and payment then said she'd bring it out to the car when it was done. read more

Yummmm best sliders ever. Bomb onion rings and fries. Highly recommend for late night dining. Loved it

The food is still greasy and good. The waitress was friendly and very kind. She also wore her mask the whole time as did the other female employee that was sweeping the floor while we were there. All 3 men working had their masks on their chins, including the cook. The cook cooked all the food, and for us dropped it at our table without his mask covering his mouth or nose. The manager (I think) spent the whole time going from the grill area to the back (restocking?) With his mask on his chin. The third male employee (also chin masker) spent 90% of the time we were there complaining about someone else that worked there. And the icing on the cake and final straw for me, the cook came back from his smoke break and rinsed his hands for 5 seconds (no soap) before starting to cook again. I'm praying this was a one-off and I caught them on a very bad night, not how they normally operate. I've been there plenty of other times and not had this experience, I think with everything going on and where we were sitting i just noticed more. read more

Ah what to say, this has been a favorite of mine for years. Always have gotten the sliders and always will. Three absolute joys of meat, bun, grilled onion , pickle, catsup and mustard. The burgers were grilled to perfection, the onions perfectly carmelized and bun steamed . The pickles were thin sliced. The fries were typical diner fries but fried nicely. I had a large coke so kudos for that. The only problem with this visit our server never came back after we got our food. So there was no refills. But those little burgers that's what will keep me going back. read more

You know what to expect at Travis, you come for the burgers, not to have a healthy meal. If you're ready to throw out your diet plan and indulge in a bit of greasy spoon food this is the place to come. It has a classic diner feel, nothing fancy, but very serviceable. The service has always been good when I've been there, no complaints in that department. The burgers are delicious and you can order them with or without all the extras. Fries are good too, but the burgers are the winner. I've never tried anything else, so this is a 1 note review! read more

Stopped here on the way through The Shores. They were having some issues on the day we stopped, and if took a while to get served, but it was uphill from there. Our server was trying her hardest, and she took good care of us. I had a bacon cheeseburger and chili cheese fries, and it hit the spot. The burger was delicious, a good sized patty, like a big sider. The thin cut onions were seared into it, and if was nice and juicy. You could tell this was a hand-made burger, nice and irregular. The chili cheese fries were good, although I expected cheese sauce and not melted American slices. Still, they were nicely melted and the chili had a good flavor, it's definitely not your standard Coney from a can (or freezer). Everything else we had was also good, and our waitress stopped by enough to make sure we were good. Hopefully the rest of her day was looking up from that point. As long as you set your expectations accordingly (it is a dive, make no mistake) and stay out of the restroom (my wife was horrified), you'll do fine. And you'll get some tasty grub. read more

Man this used to be the spot! 20 years ago I would come in with me best friend and play the golf game they had and just down some delicious burgers and fries. What happened? I took that same best friend out here to reconnect and we were just both so disappointed at what this place had become. I would love to take my kids here and keep my tradition alive but not with how this place is now. I hope they bring in the quality of the food and fun atmosphere. It's a smaller place but there's many simplistic things that could really make this place pop and be a great hang out! With the theater was open still across the street to really being the memories back. read more

My fiance and I stopping at this old school joint at a recommendation from a local. They have blocked out tables for spacing and all staff were wearing masks appropriately. We ordered six slider cheeseburgers, Vegetable Beef soup, and split a plate of fries and a chocolate milkshake. The food hit the spot and we were pleased at the inexpensive lunch and friendly service. We were in and out in no time post relaxing lunch and took the milkshake to go! Just like my Grandma used to make it- Gallon bucket ice cream and just the right amount of chocolate syrup (I didn't see if it was Hershey's, but I can almost bet it was). This place will be on our list when errand running for a fill up on cheap, food eats! read more

I came here on a whim because they showed up when I googled, "sliders." I was not disappointed. Although the sliders are carry-out only, they were rather large, and extremely fresh and flavorful. I can see why they were rated one of the best diners. The overall carry-out experience was quick and efficient, however, the waitress attending to me was overly chatty, and attentive, although that's not always a bad thing. If you're looking for some good sliders, or a quick carry-out, I'd highly recommend them. read more
