Met with some new business partners at Traveler’s last night. We had fabulous service from Hannah (if you visit, be sure to ask for her). I had the Bangers and Mash from their standard menu. It was wonderful! Very flavorful and a generous portion. (I don’t have pictures because I was too hungry!)

First visit. Both my husband and I very much enjoyed our meals and the service was great! I got the Spaghetti Carbonara with the seasonal asparagus, which was the daily special. Best prepared asparagus I’ve ever had! My husband has been wanting to try some poutine, and he very much liked Travelers version (with the optional eggs on top). We will definitely be back as the menu has many more options that we’d like to try.

They are open from 11am – 9-10. Excellent lunches for groups. Stellar place for meetings, parties, receptions, fun, lunches, dinners, family get togethers, friends. They go all out to serve the community. They have separate meeting areas for clubs and groups. They have a variety of cuisines to select from. An Award winning Chef designs their menu. The Chef designs and rotates the menu. I eat here several times a month. The food is fresh and delicious. They have a menu that changes each month. They have a Comedy Club with Pro Comedy. $5/Cover

I came in for lunch with my 9 year old son. The food came out very quickly and was excellent. The service was amazing! I’m excited for their new patio to be completed. I work within walking distance and will definitely be back!

I’ve attended several meetings here as well as casual meals. Food is always special by regular menu and themed monthly specials. They handle meetings with ease and grace. Servers are attentive and like quiet fairies delivering refills and taking plates during meetings.

I arrived to the airport way to early and didn’t have a vehicle, but Travelers Cafe and Pub was an easy 6 minute walk away. I was greeted promptly, sat in a clean, bright and open dining room and given fast and friendly service. My grilled Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries was fresh, hot and delicious. They have a great variety on their menu. I’ll be stopping here again, on my way back to K-Zoo!

We held a baby shower in the private room and everything was fantastic. The staff, the room, and the food!!! And it was incredibly affordable. They have beautiful catering warmers and let us decorate. We are trying to figure out another event so we can do it all again!
