The future looks like Chipotle clones and Cava copies. If you like that future, have fun there. I won't be joining you. It's a good thing the name isn't written backwards otherwise you'd be in Det's. And then there would be Det collectors and you know how mean those guys can be. What to get: Polish! Polish! Polish! I'm not talking about your mani, but your dog! No not that dog, I mean the hot dog you order here! What else: Footlong dog, and I'm not talking about your man, you wish. Anything else: Yes. (shakes like a piece of chocolate). What was that? It's a chocolate shake! The service isn't always great but that can be said about every Ted's. It just depends which one of the 74 teenagers working at the place, that you get serving you. It's quint-essential Buffalo. Not that it's essential to have quints in Buffalo. Twins or triplets will do. Too expensive. But you must visit Ted's at least once to see what you think. Personally we just have cats, but we practice making babies constantly. They're a wonderful place. Their sausages are phenomenal, especially the Polish, the Footlong is great too. You absolutely must try the Polish, it shoots hot juice into my mouth even more expertly than any man I've ever met. It's just so damn delicious. Give it a try and see what I mean. They don't take phone orders (they should). Their Italian sausage is excellent, their burgers are nice, their footlongs and regular dogs are better, and their Polish is the piece-de-resistance, whatever that means. Perhaps you can use it to resist the fascists of new America, they're sadly on Yelp too. I can name them. For a small fee. It's good. Very good. And their chocolate milkshakes (with malt added) are muy excelente, if a little smallente. But also not as expensive as some shakes in the area and every bit as tasty. Ted's always disappoints me price wise. It looks cheap but next thing you know it's more than $10 for more than a snack. But it's excellent so I put up with it. Not a satisfying meal, but a wonderful snack. Which is why Akon did that song "Snack That" which was about Ted's. The Loganberry is also awesome, by the way. Just about twice as sweet as it should be. Made with real sugar. I recommend doing it 1 part water, 1 part Loganberry. Yours Sincerely, Ted Theodore Loganberry

Everyone knows Taffy's for their ice cream and milkshakes (which we didn't get pictures of) but their food is so good and gives that perfect summer vibe. When we pulled up, there were a few people ahead of us in line but the staff here made quick work of the line and we ordered in no time. Friendly service for our burgers and fries. They were done quickly too. Everything tasted great. The burgers were cooked perfectly and the curly fries were incredible. The tables that are on the rocking chair base are so nice to lounge in. Also important to remember that they are cash only here. This is one of my favorite places to go in the summer and we're planning on being here a lot.

They had a huge menu that surprised me but we went for the Texas hots and had to stick to the plan. The chili is so good, it's great on the dogs but even better for dipping fries in to.. basically you can put it on anything! The service was good, food came out really quick and prices aren't bad. They have a deal buy 5 , get one free on the Texas hots!

Be careful pulling in, it's steep and you can bottom out easily!! This is one of 4 Western New York locations, and like the others, it delivers the same reliable experience every time. The Texas hots themselves are delicious - snappy Sahlen's dogs, soft rolls, and that signature meat sauce that hits all the right notes. Wish there was a little more meat in the sauce, but when you live out of state, you really can't complain because this is hometown comfort food you've spent your entire life eating. It's comfort food through and through, and you can tell they've been doing this a long time. The staff is friendly and chatty, the kind of place where you get quick service and a bit of banter without any pretense. Inside, it's a no-frills setup: hot dogs, burgers, and breakfast are the stars of the show, and that's exactly what you're here for. The dining area and bathroom were clean, which goes a long way for a spot that sees a lot of traffic, especially being this close to the stadium. Overall, this is the kind of place you can't really go wrong with. If you want classic Western New York Texas hots done right, served fast, and done the same way every time, this is a very consistent spot. Dad was happy too :)

The place was full and hopping when we walked in and our table was ready. We sat down and were immediately greeted by our friendly waitress for our drink orders. The menu is huge and everything sounds good; they also had a special drink menu and seasonal food specials. Making a choice was hard! When our food arrived, we all loved it! It looked good and tasted even better! YUM! Great service overall, would recommend, but know that it is very loud in there when it's full and hard to have a productive conversation.

Service - Lauren was a top-notch waitress. She did frequent check-backs and even bagged our leftovers at the end. Food - Sign up to get their emails so you can hear about the monthly specials. There is always something new to draw me in, but the classics are just as fantastic. Must try the chicken crunch sandwich. Atmosphere - There's a million TVs so you can catch just about any sporting event. I would classify this spot as a family-friendly sports bar.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the place and it was cozy on a rainy day to hang out, eat, and chat. I'll say it again: this spot has to be on your radar or you're missing out!
