“ Friends and I decided to check out Travelers Cove breakfast offerings since new owners took over. First off- service was great with frequent refills of coffee and server asking how we were doing. We all chose menu items that were Mexican themed. I had a breakfast burrito which was large and contained carne asada and potatoes- just how I like a breakfast burrito! A friend had the chorizo and eggs which looked great and tasted fantastic. The other friend had a shrimp omelette and enjoyed that immensely . The restaurant sits overlooking the Siuslaw River and has booths as well as tables and chairs. Nice and clean inside and when weather improves you can sit outside on the deck. ”

“ Nice portion of food that fills you up. The burrito was good, but not too much seasoning. The salsa, however was delicious. Staff was really nice and helpful. Great location with waterfront views. Parking may be difficult close by, but there is a bigger lot down the road. ”

“ What a hidden gem! I had a taco and enchilada along with a strawberry margarita and all were delicious. My husband had the halibut fish and chips which were some of the best we've had on the coast. The fries are rolled in flour and then fried and are spectacular. My daughter had the Caesar with salmon served with clam chowder and she really liked it all. Combine fabulous food with their location right on the Siuslaw with a beautiful view of the bridge and a deck to enjoy it all from and you've got a perfect dining experience. ”

“ So I refuse to read the menu. I prefer to be guided. Today the recommendation is "the burrito Asada". OMG!!! ”

“ Cute with good Mexican food. This place was not what I was expecting. I thought it was a bar and I'd pop in to have a drink- but when I walked in I realized it was a restaurant. They have a bar, in the entry room- and it was lively by the time I left at about 5pm- but the outdoor seating (which is what I was looking for) is in the back- so I decided to get shredded beef nachos instead. There are only a handful of tables on the back patio, which over looks the river. The staff was helpful and friendly and I really enjoyed the nachos- I actually took the leftovers with me and ate them cold for a 9pm snack and they slapped! ”

“ Travelers Cove is a Mexican/American restaurant in Old Town Florence. Walking in it's a very casual relaxed atmosphere that seems popular with the locals. A small full bar is to your immediate right as you walk in. Towards the back are dining booths as well as tables on the back deck that overlooks the Siuslaw River. The staff are welcoming and friendly. There were no seating signs so we helped ourselves to a booth. The interior as a whole seems a bit worn but very clean. We were given menus and drink requests were taken. The booths are roomy enough and the walls have art from various local artists, some of the works are for sale. We started with an order of Calamari. It is nicely breaded in a lightly seasoned batter that is light and very crispy. The calamari itself is very tender and not tough. There was a generous amount that came with fries on a platter with ramekins of marinara and ranch for dipping. The fries are also a good variation of standard size fries that are either baked, or they were dredged with flour before frying. In either case, they were crispy and delicious with no greasy oil. The clam chowder was interesting in that it was very light, yet thick and creamy. The ingredients seemed fairly simple with clam, potato and traces of celery, yet the flavor profile was competition quality. I found myself wanting more. It was so smooth with no grittiness or sand, just an outstanding flavor with no fish oil taste. The chowder came with a slice of beer bread that resembles corn bread in texture and is toasted nicely. The Bacon and Pepper Jack burger came on a toasted sesame seed bun with grilled onion, fresh tomato, lettuce and strips of bacon. The patty itself was prepared medium well and had a seasoned taste that really brought out the flavor of the beef. The pepper jack cheese flavor was almost missing but the burger as a whole was a big hit in presentation, preparation and flavors. It was a very satisfying burger and it also came with the same crispy fries. All in all, the food was a very good quality and puts the comfort in comfort food. Because the food flavors here are so good, I'm going to use the tired old line and say Yes. I WILL be back for more! ”

“ I have been here many times. It is one of my favorite places on the coast. Not only is the food fresh and, the restaurant clean, but the wait staff is out of this world. Enjoy! ”

“ The food was great, service was prompt and friendly. The deck is a little small but is a great place to enjoy the river and occasionally a seal. ”

“ We found this place while wondering around downtown Florence. It's actually easy to miss because it only has a few windows at the street and a sign hanging over the sidewalk. But, we're glad we went in because it was a good meal and a cool setting. In the front is a bar with almost no seating, but, you can sit at the bar. There are a few tables in the narrow walk to the back. In the back there is a deck they call The Margarita Deck. It's could use a paint job, but, it's got that "by the sea" vibe. We sat at a small table with a view east down the river and a view west to the bridge. It was exactly what we were looking for. The chips and salsa took a few minutes to get there but they were good when they came. The salsa is a little too tomato-y but had a good flavor. The Super Burrito with ground beef was pretty good. I ate pretty much the entire thing! Not sure why I like ground beef in a burrito but it's hard to find and I'm glad it had a great flavor. The rice and beans were a great compliment and had a robust flavor as well. The shrimp fajita burrito was also good. It's a good idea to just put fajita ingredients in a burrito. You're going to do it anyway, why not put it all in, throw some cheese on it and call it good. The margarita was a little disappointing. Didn't taste like it really had any alcohol in it. The flavor was there, but, it was like drinking juice. ”
