text: I have been to the Weary Traveler twice now over the last year and each experience has left me scratching my head as to why there are so many fans of this placennIf the Traveler has any strong stuff going for it it is that there is a very pleasant atmosphere and a good location Sequestered about a block from the Willy St Coop The Weary Traveler is in one of those neighborhoods that offers almost everything you could want Great restaurants fun bars unique momandpop stores and hipster people with generally good attitudes The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance that promotes relaxation and talk with friends and the staff is impeccably politennAll that said I have had some issues with the place First their menu is ridiculously limited You are handed a sheet of paper with about a dozen options on it including the appetizers and a lot of the items are basically the same thing Case in point Bad Breath Burger Ace Burger Carne Asada etc Chicken Breast with vegetables Grill Cheese Rueben While each dish is written about as if it is something magnificent to me it was just hard to buy into the ingenuity Between myself and several friends I have now seen the majority of the dishes offered and had a taste and I simply was not impressed The burger was tasty but not the best I have had all of the meat was red and a choice was never given on that even though I tend to like more rare food this both times was questionably so Portion sizes also varied some were incredibly huge others left one wanting to attend a second restaurantnnI do applaud them for a little originality with the sides Instead of the typical burger and fries my burger had carrots and graham crackers If anything this was my favorite part of that particular meal as I almost always want more vegetables when eating out then what is offered and the crackers were yumtasticnnBoth times I went the wait time for getting our meal was horribly long The first time there was just about no one in the restaurant but we still sat there for minutes with maybe one peekin from our waitress to make sure our drink glasses were filled The second time not only did that same behavior occur but on top of it we had a minute wait just to be seated because it was so crowded you could not even move Now I will be the first man to say it is absolutely worth the wait at a good restaurant but that is just it I was not impressednnPerhaps I am being too harsh on the poor old Traveler but when I am yelping I try to put up more reviews for places that I could strongly recommend people to go And with all the other fantastic options on Willy Street this is certainly not a spot I would recommend going
