    Albondigas
    Anthony T.

    Teddys is a local family favorite! Although I usually get the country fried steak plate, I was feeling a little under the weather, so I decided to try out the albondigas soup bowl and some biscuits with country gravy. The albondigas soup was comforting and simple- wish there had been more meatballs, but overall it was a nice casual meal with family. I definitely preferred the country fried steak plate and the Florentino omelette!

    I didn't realize that I had never posted a review of Teddy's! We don't go often, but we have been going to Teddy's on occasion when we travel to the west side to go to Santa Monica College, for years. We've gone twice in the last few weeks, and it's as good as ever. Teddy's is an old school home style cafe/diner on Bundy and Pico. It actually is a community landmark where locals congregate and hang out. The other plus is that they are Spanish-language friendly. Ambiance is cozy, friendly and homey and service is great! Menu includes standard diner fare, comfort food. We've recently had the open faced hot turkey sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes, which was good, and we enjoyed it. The next time JJ had a bowl of split pea soup, which was excellent! He also had the tuna sandwich, which he enjoyed as well, but said it was a little on the dry side. I ended up deciding on breakfast at 5 pm in the afternoon--- combo with pancakes, eggs over easy and sausages. It was so good! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pancakes were steaming hot and fluffy and the sausages were really plump and juicy. Excellent. Recommended, if you're in the area---give Teddy's a try. Cash only, but there is an ATM inside. Parking lot always has plenty of parking.

    I came back for another breakfast. Got the huevos rancheros this time and it was just alright. Don't think I'll be ordering it again but I'll be back to try other things on the menu. The service was great as always.

    CASH ONLY!! Food here was homemade diner style. Cheap and yummy! Service is also fast overall, a locals hidden gem. There's also a parking lot! Inside is very busy and feels like you're in a movie.

    Teddy's Cafe looks like an old diner, which I can appreciate. I like diners. I always feel comfortable and welcome and this place does that as well. It's real casual. I don't know the history but I assume the owner is into model cars because they are everywhere. The decor is a bit scattered and dusty. It kind of feels like someone's living room. I was seated and the server took my order quickly. I ordered a club sandwich, and if you've read my other reviews that contain bacon, you know I like my bacon burnt. Well, I did have to send my bacon back because it wasn't even crispy, but the second time was the charm and my sandwich was really good. The French fries were okay. Not under cooked, but not crispy either. I only ate a few of them. I had to ask the person at the counter for my check and paid there because the server didn't come back. All in all, mediocre. Will I go back? I don't know. If I'm in the area I might. It's not close to me and the experience wasn't good enough for me to go out of my way.

    Casual attire, casual dining. I absolutely loved this place! It brings you back in time to that inviting, comfortable, cozy feel. It was busy but the service is still fast (so be ready to order, etc., they dont play around! Lol) the staff are very quick and accommodating. Seems like this is a family owned business, loved everyone we interacted with. Warm & welcoming. Say "yes" to the coffee they serve when you first sit down. Brought me back the days with my grandparents and parents. It was good ole fashion coffee. Yumm. The food was delicious!! From now on, this will definitely be a regular "go to" spot when we are in the area. So happy we stumbled across this place, ended our Valentine's weekend so perfectly. Simple & Sweet.

    Country fried steak (beef) scrambled eggs and some really good potato's the gravy was spot on.

    So this is my Second time here in two weeks and I tried a different plate the "chile verde" rice, beans and chips, you won't be disappointed, it's authentic food from Mexico, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, I mean all of them, the cooks and waitresses, highly recommend.

    Came here for breakfast after taking a red eye and landing super early in the morning. This was one of the few places open that early and we got a standard breakfast. Food and service were good and what you would expect from a little diner. It had an homey vibe and one thing to note is that hey only take cash. Overall not bad

    I have been visitIng teddys for quite some time and I I'm never disappointed. It's just a neighborhood Café with good food at a good price. Everything is always yummy and it's comforting. Cash only can't beat the prices. Steak is always delicious. Char broiled meat. fluffy eggs, good potatoes, nice sourdough toast. If you want a decent homemade tasting grilled hamburger. this is the place to go. ask for onions. Nice fluffy pancakes. I recommend Teddys for breakfast. The prices are amazing. You can take your whole family here without breaking the bank.

    Cash only! All items are reasonably priced for the location. We came for breakfast while there was an egg shortage, but Teddy's café didn't charge us for eggs. Yummy American diner food ordered the chicken fried steak. It was freshly fried and crispy. Comes with potatoes and eggs. Welcoming servers and also outdoor seating would definitely be back for another breakfast meal.

The menu is limited, but there are plenty of options for all taste buds. I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs, and, my fiancée ordered the breakfast burrito. Breakfast came within 15 minutes. My corned beef hash is house made, but unfortunately missed the flavor. The hash browns mixed in seemed done in too much oil. The eggs were super fresh. But the best part - the toast!!! Best toast I ever had in a diner, and I know diners. My fiancée took one bite of his breakfast burrito and automatically announced it was the best he ever had! So that definitely says a lot. Service was fine but it did take longer than expected to get the bill. I'm torn. I love the aesthetic and service was quite decent, but my corned beef hash fell short. Would I return? Yes.
