About Us
The Westlawn Inn, located on 7th and Chesapeake Avenue in North Beach, opened in July 2004. The building is an original historical structure in the town, serving for most of its seventy-five years as a boarding house or bed & breakfast. Proprietor Lee Travers offers a casually upscale dining venue offering a traditional American menu with a retro flair. The restaurant’s goal is to provide scrumptious cuisine and superior service in an elegant but friendly atmosphere.
Bio on Lee Travers
Proprietor William (Lee) Travers has been a Calvert County resident since the early 1970’s. After three decades of successfully owning and operating the custom builders company, William Travers & Sons, with his father and brother, Lee decided to return to his roots in the hospitality industry. Lee’s first experience in the restaurant business started in childhood watching his father manage Popey’s Tavern in Prince George’s County. Seeing the potential for a new dining experience in North Beach, Lee purchased the historic building at 9200 Chesapeake Avenue with the dream of transforming it into a fine dining establishment. After extensive renovations (all done by Travers), The Westlawn Inn opened its doors in July of 2004.
Lee, an avid musician who in the 60’s played with artists such as The Allman Brothers, The Mamas & The Papas, and Neil Diamond, can be seen playing live at the Inn the occasional Saturday evening.

Read What Our Customers Are Saying About The Westlawn Inn:
“Thanks so much to you and your staff for a wonderful dinner on Friday night.
Everyone was so impressed with the food and the service. You have such a
beautiful restaurant and everyone was very happy. The dinner was such a great kick off for a memorable event. On Saturday it rained but it was the most beautiful day.
The wedding was blessed with many family members and friends and of course
we had such a good time at the reception. Again thanks so much;
we will be back for a visit soon.”
Teresa Stilton
“Thanks for a wonderful meal, awesome cup of coffee and great hospitality.
We were the couple that had the best meal and a great cup of after dinner coffee about a week or so ago. The pleasure of your establishment and your hospitality
along with a tremendous wait staff and chef provided us with a real bonus
to our boating vacation. We so much appreciated the ride back to our boat at the
Rod & Reel Marina by Lee after he let us walk off our great meal throughout
the town and enjoy the Friday night car show.
We will be back to see you soon for another great meal and the best cup of coffee we have had in quite sometime. Keep up the great work and we enjoyed spending part of our vacation with you and your staff. The Inn is absolutely beautiful and thanks for the coffee sample pack and coffee tip.”

“We have enjoyed Westlawn Inn since its beginning in 2004. The atmosphere, food, entertainment and service has always been outstanding. With the addition of Chef Higgs and Sous Chef Paul Lucas, many new items appear on the menu that continue to
provide us with the type of excellent meal we have come to know and enjoy with
each dining experience. The ever evolving entree choices continue to
keep us pleasantly surprised. Dessert is always something special, and
the new Guinness Chocolate Cake is outstanding!”
