This is such a wonderful place! opens 24hrs, tasty, cheap, very generous portion and friendly staff! It is not a trendy spot, and food is somewhat greasy. But I still like this place a lot. Feel like more of comfort food. In this sense, I can't eat their food every day, but can't avoid it either, am going there once every week or so. Soups are really good, probably my favorite there. it's only cash by the way

Bottom line, if you haven't been to Travis, you haven't drank too much, and decided to eat $40 in food at 3 am... They have it all, and it's ALL good! Since I'm including this in my breakfast joint places. The breakfast is killer! Coffee rocks, all egg dishes, pancakes, and french toast rule! Eat here at least once. Love me, then curse me later.

Again I found myself on the East side getting an oil change and I really needed some lunch! What should I get? I thought to myself. Shores Inn? Too expensive for lunch. Middle Eastern? Too healthy for my current mood. Cheesecake? Not a bad idea, but I couldn't justify it to myself. So I had the choice between Mc'Ds and this quaint little coffee shop/burger joint. I thought to myself: why not patronize the ma and pop shop ... plus I have a certain distaste for McDonalds hamburgers. When I walked in, I decided to sit at the counter. There were mostly older people in there eating lunch or a late breakfast (this is one of those places that serves breakfast 24-7) with a few professionals dropping in for a quick bite. I ordered a cheeseburger, onion rings and a coke. The burger was tasty but grease was dripping from it with every bite. The real winner was the onion rings - not too greasy and not too much batter - they were perfect! Of course, fountain coke is always wonderful. This place was pretty good. Service was prompt and friendly, but next time I may skip the cheeseburger and order onion rings and pie instead.

This was my first experience with Travis and it was a carry out provided at an afternoon poker game by a local. The sliders were some of the best I have ever had, and stayed with me the entire day, and into the night. Nothing healthy, just a righteously nasty slider that hit the spot. Onion rings were delicious, fries so-so.......and the bag that the CBE's came in, matched any gas station oil cloth I have ever seen. Nice job!

My dad introduced my husband and I to Travis'. He brought takeout sliders to our house on a hectic Saturday, I'm no fan of White Castle and unfortunately never gave sliders a real shot because of my turn off. Was I ever missing out? Yes! TIP: Don't ever take "fast food" as a stage to judge food. Anyways, I was so starved the day the sliders arrived in a greasy brown paper bag, I did not care and ate whatever was placed in front of me. After one bite, my mind was changing, after one burger, I was hooked. Travis' is not close to my home but it is well worth the drive. It is a typical hole in the wall treasure so don't expect silver platters. We always get the 6 or 12 sliders with the works, cheese, grilled onions, mustard, ketchup and pickles. Prices are good, waitresses and cooks are polite, place is 24 hours which is an awesome bonus. Try this place.

Let's keep this review in perspective. ... not gourmet high end establishment. It's your typical greasy spoon that has economical breakfast, late night after drinks food that hits the spot. Always there when you need it. Not the heart smart place either. Don't go unless you have these expectations.

No trip to Detroit is complete without a trip to Travis. Their ancient griddle imbues the deliciously greasy little sliders with a nearly magical flavor that only years use can provide. They are delicious and perfectly cooked, browned edges, soft onions, and perfectly warmed buns. The only problem is that they hit you like a ton of bricks and stay with you almost as long as a gut full of brick would. Still, they are totally worth it.

This place is a great place to people watch. Chances are high you'll walk out with a story to tell your family and or friends. Epic memories have been in this place. The dirty interior, the greasy food & workers are equally greasy! Especially everyone's favorite senior waitress that is, well, resentful she is still working, and takes it out on every customer. She don't discriminate; you'll be her whipping post. I have been a willing costumer for decades. Total love-hate experience with their food.. Prices are so cheap, you'll feel like they never raised them from the 70's.. Their breakfast items are delicious, even better after 2:00 a.m. My favorite is their French Toast and spicy sausage. I'm not ruling out any of their breakfast items. I'd give them all two thumbs up. I have a hard time ordering anything else, no matter the time of day. I moved a half a decade ago from the area. So, it's hard to be in the area and not stop for a bite or a carry-out. I always hope I don't have to deal with Miss. Senior Sunshine as I approach the door. Sliders are legendary. I even had them and went into labor the next day; true story. ( Talk about being worried.) Fish fly season? I'd bypass eating there. Trust me on this. The area isn't what it use to be( although, the Pointers are still in denial), but Travis will always be a constant. A place that you will never catch yourself saying, do you remember when it was clean? I'd give it a 5 star if it wasn't for the after shock it has on my body and the world's worst waitress. Hey, lady, read up!!! I'm there to eat, not to be aggravated by a worker, and having to keep my cool about your behavior. Take notes. 15%? 20& up %? Duhhhhh! One last word of advice, don't look at who is cooking your food. Just don't do it. Haven't been? Add Travis to your bucket list. Pun intended? You be the judge.

Great cheap greasy breakfast place at 3 a.m. Slider burgers are decent too. You get 6 for about $10 with cheese and grilled onions. Fries to go are served in a brown paper bag and the grease drips right out- ah, good stuff. Be warned- CASH ONLY.

Wether you are capping off a long night of boozing or just in the mood for some wicked good sliders, Travis is the place to be. Their sliders are the best I had and that is not a title that is given out lightly. I have had sliders from all over the state and this is where my vote goes. The only reason why I don't give the place a 5 star is because it is a little run down.

I was sober when I walked in this morning. I got the Super breakfast special at $6.10. The Super consists of 3 bacon, ham, and a spicy sausage patty, 2 eggs (I think they were chicken eggs - I forgot to ask), hash browns, and toast. I also ordered a cup of hot tea. Service was fine. Food was fine. Price was good. Cash only. Personal sized restroom, but clean nonetheless.

Man, do I miss Travis... This is the perfect place to go for super cheap food at any time of the day or night. I don't like burgers so I can't attest to their greasy deliciousness like so many others, but I do love their fried egg sandwiches. And as a pickle lover, I appreciate that when I ask for extra pickles on the side, they pile them on. Now I live in Boston, where a "cheap" meal costs $10 and there are no all night diners. Clearly they could learn a thing or two from St Clair Shores.

Uh O' time for ratings knock down. I had a hankering to have breakfast for dinner, so off to my favorite greasy spoon to get the Super breakfast special. The Super consists of 3 bacon, ham, and a spicy sausage patty, eggs ordered over easy and rye toast and a cup of coffee. Eggs and hashbrowns were super yummy, bacon was plopped in front of me and then the brunt rye toast slid across the counter...umm ok thanks for the nice service and by the way where is my ham and sausage?????? The waitress was off doing something so i finally asked the cook where was the sausage and ham? Finally got the sausage and told him to forget the ham as they added an extra piece of bacon. Coffee refills................. is it serve yourself night or something? I wore my right guard but the waitress never got back within 15 feet, so as another waitress gawked my way i gave the refill signal, finally so coffee of course breakfast was done by now. i just hope this is a night crew problem cause it might be time to get a new greasy spoon.

I've been to Travis probably more than 25 times. It may be a bit run down, but the food is really good. I usually go for their cheeseburgers and fries with their ranch bottle on the side (trust me it's actually fantastic). Atmosphere wise, I know it isn't the great but I forgive them because of what they have to deal with (teenagers dining and dashing or drunk people making trouble). Also, make sure to be nice to the waitresses. They're good, hard working people and commonly get mistreated by customers

A few weeks ago my wife and I decided to go to Travis for a quick and cheap lunch. The food is good for being a greasy spoon type of place. But beware if your waitress is a senior citizen woman with short gray hair and glasses. After ordering our drinks, we folded our menus and waited for her to return for our food order. We waited. And waited. And waited. There were perhaps four, maybe five other patrons in the restaurant, which is small. She KNEW we were waiting, and let me tell you...she made sure that WE knew that she knew we were waiting. She did everything but come over to our table...she answered the phone (even though there were other employees there who could have done so), she cashed people out, she walked by seemingly aimlessly, not even glancing our way. Well. After waiting nearly 30 (!) minutes, my wife decided to go up and pay for our drinks so we could just leave. We were highly and rightfully irritated. As soon as my wife went up to pay, (surprise, surprise!) the old bag finally decided we were worth her time and swooped over to us to take our order. My wife returned to our table and we ordered through gritted teeth. Even after this entire rude encounter, the waitress still didn't smile or act as though she cared much. I would have given Travis 3 or maybe even 4 stars, but after dealing with this woman who clearly resented her job, they're lucky I'm giving it 2 stars.

Greasy burger heaven! What can I possibly say about Travis that hasn't been said a million times by other much more eloquent than me? If you love greasy sliders (And I DO!) Travis has some of the best around. Get a carryout sack and by the time you get home, the bag is almost transparent from the grease. Yummy! Good fries, and the real Travis experience comes at about 2:30 A.M. Everyone should go in at the wee small hours of the morning at least once.

Great late night grilled cheese! Fries actually taste great and not like rancid oil. Lots of fun late night people watching. Service is friendly and prompt even during a rush. Many good bites and laughs to be had after the bar. Two enthusiastic thumbs up :) Ps. Greatttttt homemade ranch dressing and you get a whole bottle at your table!

Cheap and greasy diner food.. Waitresses were not friendly.. there were 2 older ladies both with sour faces the entire time.. couldn't even crack one smile out of them. If they had been friendlier, I would've given them 3 stars. The food was okay. I ordered a half order of chili cheese fries with onions and a hamburger... best part was the price and the convenient hours - open 24 hours..

Sliders. is this the oldest diner in the area? I think so. Tip: It you play "Crazy" by Patsy Cline on the Juke box one more time I think the cook is going to go crazy on your a$$ Tip2: Constipated? Get the hash browns. (Thank me later) They really are good though. 2000 calories good.

Obviously, as so many before me have pointed out, the high star rating is not for Travis' food alone. That rating would be significantly lower...but we won't go there. As one of the only 24 hour diners around here (unless I'm totally missing something), it's pretty hard to beat. The food is greasy, to be sure, but exceptionally cheap. The waitstaff can be...surly... but I mean that in only the best of ways. There's really nothing else I can say. Open and shut. Travis gu brà th.

I've never been to Travis before midnight. I know their sign says "open 24 hours" but this place comes alive once the bars have closed. This isn't "sober food," you need to be slightly clouded to truly enjoy the Travis experience. As previous reviews havce mentioned, Travis serves sliders affectionately known as grease-bombs at Travis due to their excessive greasiness (even for a slider!). Even though they're "famous" for their sliders, I personally enjoy the Mr. 5X5 more. Mr. 5X5 is 5 sliders patties formed into 1 MEGA patty. Topped with grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, tomato, & mustard, this is one sturdy, tasty burger. Yes, it is greasy (5 times the grease?), but now instead of 5 slider buns, you're saving calories with just 1 hamburger bun. See, even while not thinking totally clearly, I'm still trying to watch my figure... Fries are decent. As Sandra mentioned, the onion rings are pretty good. If you order chili-cheese fries, they top the fries with perfectly OK chili, but the cheese is a slice of American. Weird. The wait staff can be really nice or quite rude, not much middle ground, but that goes with the territory. Prior to the smoke-free law, it wasn't strange to see the cook with a cigarette in her mouth while she flipped your burger.

If you are looking for a DINER with a capital D, look no further my grease-lovin' friend. It's DIRT cheap, you get a huge honker of a plate of food, and the waitresses are amusing as hell! They have a jukebox, are open 24 hours, and your brown paper takeout bag will be mottled with oily stains. Well whaddya want? You'll find displaced teens not old enough to hit the bars, old chicks with wild 50's faux furs that were theirs the whole time thank you, and grizzled, gray-whiskered gents in flannel. The decor is very 1950's utilitarian, i:e it's fabulosity is intact. Thank GOD they didn't go and try to jazz it up! I probably shouldn't tell you this but the last time I ate there, the portable ATM inside that I had just used kicked out an extra $20. We were talking and next thing I knew I heard a whir, then noticed a fresh bill in the slot! I got up and made sure my transaction was cleared, then, still not sure whether or not the 20 had been somehow deducted from my account, had an ethical debate with my man about what to do. One look at our waitress was all I needed. Anyone over 60 loaded down with a million goofy pins, a painted face, and festive plastic necklaces is more punk rock than I ever achieved! I slapped down the twenty for her tip and sashayed into the night.

***** 5 Start? Really 5 Stars? I know that's what some of you are probably thinking, and let me start by saying, I don't think Travis Burger is on par with Roast, or the Rattle Snake Club, but they do have the best greasy sliders you could ever hope to have at 2 AM. I have friends from out of town that when they come to visit, begin begging about about midnight to go to Travis after we leave the bar. I am ashamed to admit that I have even had a craving to these perfect little sliders around lunch time and had to make a run for a bag of them! In addition to the burgers, I absolutely LOVE the chocolate shakes. You have to eat it with a spoon! It's closer to a Frosty consistency wise, but it's not as smooth. It's wonderful!!! So just to be clear, the service is questionable, the place is not really what I would describe as clean (the term greasy spoon comes to mind), but the people watching is A+ and the burgers are some of the best sliders you will ever find!!!

She did everything but come over to our table...she answered the phone (even though there were other employees there who could have done so), she cashed people out, she walked by seemingly aimlessly, not even glancing our way. Well. After waiting nearly 30 (!) minutes, my wife decided to go up and pay for our drinks so we could just leave. We were highly and rightfully irritated. As soon as my wife went up to pay, (surprise, surprise!) the old bag finally decided we were worth her time and swooped over to us to take our order. My wife returned to our table and we ordered through gritted teeth. Even after this entire rude encounter, the waitress still didn't smile or act as though she cared much. I would have given Travis 3 or maybe even 4 stars, but after dealing with this woman who clearly resented her job, they're lucky I'm giving it 2 stars.

Greasy burger heaven! What can I possibly say about Travis that hasn't been said a million times by other much more eloquent than me? If you love greasy sliders (And I DO!) Travis has some of the best around. Get a carryout sack and by the time you get home, the bag is almost transparent from the grease. Yummy! Good fries, and the real Travis experience comes at about 2:30 A.M. Everyone should go in at the wee small hours of the morning at least once.

Great late night grilled cheese! Fries actually taste great and not like rancid oil. Lots of fun late night people watching. Service is friendly and prompt even during a rush. Many good bites and laughs to be had after the bar. Two enthusiastic thumbs up :) Ps. Greatttttt homemade ranch dressing and you get a whole bottle at your table!

Outstanding sliders. Hand made burgers cooked like they should be cooked. Very tasty. Local favorite, open 24hrs, I think. Would highly recommend.

It was ok. Diner food is pretty much the phrase that comes to mind. Good cheap food tho.

Cheap and greasy diner food.. Waitresses were not friendly.. there were 2 older ladies both with sour faces the entire time.. couldn't even crack one smile out of them. If they had been friendlier, I would've given them 3 stars. The food was okay. I ordered a half order of chili cheese fries with onions and a hamburger... best part was the price and the convenient hours - open 24 hours..

Sliders. is this the oldest diner in the area? I think so. Tip: It you play "Crazy" by Patsy Cline on the Juke box one more time I think the cook is going to go crazy on your a$$ Tip2: Constipated? Get the hash browns. (Thank me later) They really are good though. 2000 calories good.

Obviously, as so many before me have pointed out, the high star rating is not for Travis' food alone. That rating would be significantly lower...but we won't go there. As one of the only 24 hour diners around here (unless I'm totally missing something), it's pretty hard to beat. The food is greasy, to be sure, but exceptionally cheap. The waitstaff can be...surly... but I mean that in only the best of ways. There's really nothing else I can say. Open and shut. Travis gu brà th.

I've never been to Travis before midnight. I know their sign says "open 24 hours" but this place comes alive once the bars have closed. This isn't "sober food," you need to be slightly clouded to truly enjoy the Travis experience. As previous reviews havce mentioned, Travis serves sliders affectionately known as grease-bombs at Travis due to their excessive greasiness (even for a slider!). Even though they're "famous" for their sliders, I personally enjoy the Mr. 5X5 more. Mr. 5X5 is 5 sliders patties formed into 1 MEGA patty. Topped with grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, tomato, & mustard, this is one sturdy, tasty burger. Yes, it is greasy (5 times the grease?), but now instead of 5 slider buns, you're saving calories with just 1 hamburger bun. See, even while not thinking totally clearly, I'm still trying to watch my figure... Fries are decent. As Sandra mentioned, the onion rings are pretty good. If you order chili-cheese fries, they top the fries with perfectly OK chili, but the cheese is a slice of American. Weird. The wait staff can be really nice or quite rude, not much middle ground, but that goes with the territory. Prior to the smoke-free law, it wasn't strange to see the cook with a cigarette in her mouth while she flipped your burger.

If you are looking for a DINER with a capital D, look no further my grease-lovin' friend. It's DIRT cheap, you get a huge honker of a plate of food, and the waitresses are amusing as hell! They have a jukebox, are open 24 hours, and your brown paper takeout bag will be mottled with oily stains. Well whaddya want? You'll find displaced teens not old enough to hit the bars, old chicks with wild 50's faux furs that were theirs the whole time thank you, and grizzled, gray-whiskered gents in flannel. The decor is very 1950's utilitarian, i:e it's fabulosity is intact. Thank GOD they didn't go and try to jazz it up! I probably shouldn't tell you this but the last time I ate there, the portable ATM inside that I had just used kicked out an extra $20. We were talking and next thing I knew I heard a whir, then noticed a fresh bill in the slot! I got up and made sure my transaction was cleared, then, still not sure whether or not the 20 had been somehow deducted from my account, had an ethical debate with my man about what to do. One look at our waitress was all I needed. Anyone over 60 loaded down with a million goofy pins, a painted face, and festive plastic necklaces is more punk rock than I ever achieved! I slapped down the twenty for her tip and sashayed into the night.

***** 5 Start? Really 5 Stars? I know that's what some of you are probably thinking, and let me start by saying, I don't think Travis Burger is on par with Roast, or the Rattle Snake Club, but they do have the best greasy sliders you could ever hope to have at 2 AM. I have friends from out of town that when they come to visit, begin begging about about midnight to go to Travis after we leave the bar. I am ashamed to admit that I have even had a craving to these perfect little sliders around lunch time and had to make a run for a bag of them! In addition to the burgers, I absolutely LOVE the chocolate shakes. You have to eat it with a spoon! It's closer to a Frosty consistency wise, but it's not as smooth. It's wonderful!!! So just to be clear, the service is questionable, the place is not really what I would describe as clean (the term greasy spoon comes to mind), but the people watching is A+ and the burgers are some of the best sliders you will ever find!!!
