We loved this place so much. The vibe, the chefs station, decor & the staff! Takes you back a little. Quick service once your seated & plenty to choose from on the menu. Wether you're looking for a big breakfast, brunch, light lunch or dinner. They have it all. It's in a neat little part of the city. Our waiter Sammy was an extra plus! He recommended the Eggs Benedict with crab, I can't give it another star!!! (If you're into that kind of breakfast) Mimosas were a lovely touch too! If anything just stop in for their delicious homemade tarts! We will be back! read more

My mom and I were visiting DC for Mother's Day weekend. When we arrived in town, we immediately started looking for places to eat and decided on Ted's after seeing great reviews. We walked in and they stored our luggage until after we finished our meals, which was super convenient. We were seated in no time, but our server took a while to come greet us. After being greeted, we ordered a Bellini and mimosa and then our meals. I had an order of French toast with hash browns and chicken sausage. Loved the chicken sausage, the hash browns were hash browns, and the French toast was good, but very buttery...typical of your late-night grease trap diner. The food was cool, but I don't see the hype. Could be a regional thing since I'm from the south; who knows. I don't have plans on returning the next time I'm in DC. read more

We stopped at Ted's to try one of their pop tarts. I had heard they had a maple bacon one but when I got to the counter he said they dont make them anymore. I decided to try the cinnamon brown sugar pop tart, I warmed it a little, it was absolutely delicious. Regret not buying more for my road trip back home. I would give them a five but I haven't tried other items on the menu. read more

The restaurant theming was quirky and fun - felt a bit art deco combined with a traditional diner. Food was tasty but average - nothing spectacular. Service was relatively fast. The atmosphere felt a bit stale at the time we visited - perhaps as the restaurant was quite quiet. Some complimentary music might have made it feel a bit more fun. read more

Giant cinnamon was fun and tasty. Crispy outside and soft inside. Salmon toast was very good. Fun atmosphere in an old bank building. read more

Yikes. Talk about a restaurant that is not handling busy times well. First, the cakes, which aren't the best you'll have had, were already overpriced before covid. They used to be 1/8 of a cake for each slice. Now they are supposed to be 1/10. But based on the person cutting the cake might be 1/12. No apparent rhyme or reason. And they are SLOW. Ordered a single vanilla milkshake and it took 35 minutes. 35. No apologies for the delay, no give us 5 minutes. If the food was stand out, they could be forgiven a bit, but this is consistently a bad experience now. read more

Came here specifically for their handmade and fresh pop tarts! It was also the time of DC's Cherry Blossom, so we had to have the cherry blossom flavor. Expensive, but I don't know of anywhere else you can get handmade pop tarts. As a fat kid in my previous life, pop tarts only came from a foil wrapping inside a cardboard box. So this was definitely a treat, especially seeing them make right in front of you. read more

Giving this 4 stars based on wait time to be seated and overall experience. Went to brunch/lunch for my friends end to her bachelorette weekend. We had to wait a little while for a seat. The place was nice with an old school but modern feel. Out waiter was attentive and brought our drinks, appetizer, dishes in a timely fashion. We ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch. I had the Brick Chicken and outside the gravy it was amazing. I had the urge to ask for a bowl to pour out the gravy or w/e it was that was over bearing the dish and didn't allow me to truly enough the mash potatoes. The portion of food was good and the spinach was great! I highly recommend. It was 4 of us and I had more than enough room. Although the place was loud we were able to hear each other talk without screaming. The server came over at the end with a decorated pop tart and candle. I thought it was really sweet. Pro- the location is close to the U street station on the green line and a little walk from the red line DuPont circle stop on the red line. It didn't seem like the place took reservations. My friend called days/weeks in advance and was told to come at a specific time and would seat her when seating became available. We waited about 10 minutes or so I enjoyed my experience and liked that we could order both breakfast and lunch without any time restrictions. Both were served all day. read more

Amazing Salmon Rangoon! Only thing we tried as this was the Worst service Ever. Bartender was very unprofessional- our food and drinks (yes... even though we were at the bar....) took a very long time to come out. Not sure if this bar tender was new or training but 0/10 in service. read more

This is a place where you to fix your morning hangovers. The portions are large. I love their biscuits and gravy!

The place is very unique and friendly staff, but the food is not very good, we won't be back. There's was nothing very good!

Great service - our waiter went above and beyond especially because we have a little kid waiting who was hungry. The food tasted great and drinks were delicious. read more

They have redeemed themselves! I typically do not come back to places I didn't love but we decided to try their breakfast and this MUST be what they're known for. Soooo much better!

Update: came back on the recommendation of justin. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Lemonade was tart and tasted like Minute Maid Poutine - really yummy and mushrooms, fries were crispy, but I wished there was more cheese curds Pot roast - super flavorful and tender. Carrots and mashed potatoes were great Country fried chicken - chicken was super juicy and crispy and peppery. Loved the sweetness of the carrots. Mashed potatoes were reminiscent of Costco boxed ones Carrot cake - super large slice with thick layers of cream cheese. Loved the frosting but cake part was a little dry Would recommend for their "traditional" dishes read more

Solid breakfast choice if you're in the DC area, with classic breakfast food and homemade toaster-style pastries. Despite feeling like a 6 year old who accidentally let go of their balloon when I dropped my toaster tart on the floor, the bite I was able to get in beforehand was delish. Soft flakey buttery crust with a sweet grownup strawberry jam filling- I made a pouty face when it fell. Their crab benedict was perfection and the eggs are extra runny. I happen to love them this way- just ask them to poach the eggs longer if you don't. I also appreciate that the server leaves the ENTIRE POT of coffee on the table for you so your mug is always hot and fresh. read more

Ummmm I love this place, and so do Kids!! I mean they have these awesome milkshakes...and pop tarts (but I haven't had the pop tarts lol), who wouldn't? I came here with my brother, boyfriend, and 3 picky nephews. We made a reservation the same day on a Sunday, and I was surprised we got in. As soon as you walk in they sell the donuts and pop tarts, which definitely won the kids over. I got them two donuts and a cookie, the treats were so good! For food, I ordered the oatmeal and fruit (I was trying to be healthy)...and it was actually really good, I wasn't upset at all. My brother and nephews got the pancakes, sausage, bacon, and eggs. Of course I stole a pancake, and it was amazing! The kiddos loved their food, one of them got a milkshake, and he loved it. My boyfriend got the TUBS, that sandwich was SO SO good, he loved it. We all loved our food so much. read more

This review is strictly for their famous pop-tart. Was it worth it? HELL YES! I went straight to the pastry section and got my hands on both their strawberry & blueberry cheesecake tarts. It was literally one of the best things I've eaten in DC. There is nothing like a homemade pop-tart, seriously. It's not too sweet but has a balanced mix of sweet and rich tart. The strawberry is the best one. The jam filling is delicious and is made form scratch. In fact, you can actually see the pastry chef cooking up the tarts in the back! It's a sight to see. I definitely recommend people coming here for dessert. The other treats look amazing too! I wish I had more time to get more. read more

​I came to Ted's Bulletin​ based on Yelp reviews everyone seems to love their breakfast​, especially​ their pop tarts. However, my breakfast didn't​ dazzle​​ me​ compared to everyone else's. The interior of Ted's Bulletin is old fashion which is what they're going for, but it was a bit depressing for me. My food was also disappointing too but looking back at it now compared to everyone else's​ food, ​I'm convinced​ that I picked the wrong plate. I ended up choosing the thick-cut french toast​ with two eggs, and hash browns. Our server Kourtney was polite but told me that they could not make the scrambled eggs with fewer egg yolks because the batter was already premixed​ - bummer. I tried the strawberry pop tart; it was delightful. And the most important part of my breakfast is the coffee and Ted's Bulletin coffee was quite watery, but so are most of the brunch places to keep up with the high demand for it. That's why I stick to being that snob that walks into brunch places with my SB cup - it prevents star deductions. ​​ read more

Such a delicious place for a classic breakfast in the heart of DC. They have the most fun home made pop tarts the are just to die for! They come in a bunch of creative flavors - we tried the seasonal cherry blossom flavor which was excellent. The pop tarts are incredibly flakey and not too sweet! Pro-tip: you can order them at your table but if you're just popping by, you can also grab them to go from the bakery counter in the front of the restaurant! You can call ahead and place your name on a waiting list which is awesome because it can get really busy during brunchy hours. Service is a bit slow (but that may just be the New Yorker in me :)) read more

Came for dinner on a slow Thursday evening. The host at the front thoroughly checked our vaccination status which I love to see. We also happened to be there during happy hour so I was able to try their draft IPA for $3! I ordered Teds burger with their regular fries; it was super filling with plenty of meat and cheese. Their ranch also apparently has bits of bacon & I appreciate our waitress letting us know beforehand. I would definitely recommend for dinner and I'll definitely have to come back and try their breakfast. read more

What a fun place for a meal or a drink. The vibe is purposefully old time diner/malt shop. The burger was delicious. The fries were nothing special but the best part was the spiked milk shake. I had the peppermint junior which I swore I wasn't going to drink the whole thing - but I did. I am so happy they don't have calories or fat content listed on their menu although I am sure that was not a healthy meal option! My friends had a few appetizers which were good. They also really liked the burger and spiked milkshake. On my way out I stopped at the bakery part of the restaurant and bought my husband a home styled Poptart. It got a rave review from him. Our waitress was very nice and never looked annoyed with a few changes in orders. I haven't tried the brunch yet but I know it make the "best in DC" on various lists. There is always a next time... read more

I came here just for the pop tarts and let me tell ya they were everything I could have wanted. Normal pop tarts could never. Flaky and crispy and melts in your mouth, not overly sweet. I originally tried the seasonal flavor which was the cherry blossom and it was delightful. Delicately topped with flowers and with a light yummy crust encasing the soft cherry insides. Highly recommend. I even came back for another pop tart an hour later because I had them on my mind. I tried the blueberry cheesecake one and that was also divine. Creamy and rich on the inside with hints of fruit. The only con is that these pop tarts can be kinda pricey, about $4 per tart. Anyways enough about pop tarts I had actual food there too. The venue itself reminds me of an old fashion saloon mixed with a homey vintage hotel vibe. Spinning doors take you inside and if you just want to buy pastries they are to your immediate left. I got seated promptly and had the Cobb salad. I was looking for something light because I wasn't too hungry but this portion was MASSIVE. It came with blue cheese, bacon, onions, deviled eggs (which were so creamy and soft! Perfect deviled eggs), 3 strips of fried chicken, cubed tomatoes and dressing. Definitely filled me up fast. This salad experience did not disappoint me, no complaints. Also an added note the waiter was super nice and was helpful in recommending foods to me. Def check this place out if you're looking for a nice breakfast or brunch place, they serve breakfast all day! read more

Everything this was delicious was there for C.O.P.S week and we had our 3 meals there . Best home made Pop-tarts !! Service was excellent !

Ted's Bulletin was yummmmy! My mom and I found it by searching for the best brunch in the area. Im so happy we settled on going here for the food. First off, the portions are HUGE so be mindful of this when you order. For food, I ordered the Big Mark's Breakfast. It had all of the classics (eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, hash browns, and a pop tart). The only thing I didnt really enjoy was the pop tart which is pretty surprising because I usually love them. My mom order the chicken and biscuits, which was great. The only hiccups were: 1. It took quite a bit of time for someone to come to our table. Once they actually came by, it was just fine. They were very attentive, but the wait at the beginning was about 5-7 minutes. 2. After paying, we went to the front counter to order sweets to go. It took about 6 minutes for us to get help here too. There was only one person working behind the counter. While we were already waiting, the host told him he had a to go order to take and he also helped someone who walked in for a to go pick up after us. There could have been better structure. As an FYI, I'd highly suggest you make reservations. We went on a Friday morning and it was packed! read more

I walked by Ted's on a Saturday night and had to be there for Brunch on Sunday morning! It's a family owned restaurant. The decor inside is sleek and they use black boards with nice font to show you specials, the kids menu etc. The menu even has the infamous Ted's backstory. Service here is great. Our waiter was pleasant, didn't rush us, and brought anything we asked for promptly. They have bottomless coffee here so the refills were welcomed! Ordered the standard: two eggs (any way), choice of meat, one side (I subbed for their homemade tutor tots), and choice of bread. ($11) The whole meal was filling, but the star was the tator tots! I don't know how they make the potatoes retain all that flavor, but YES they are so worth the up charge of $1 (and change). When you are here you MUST order Ted's Tarts to-go. I got three flavors: blueberry cheesecake, strawberry, and the seasonal one (apple). Left with three and I wish I bought their whole stock!!! OMG the pasty is flaky and it melts in your mouth. Filling isn't so overwhelming and over powering. THEY ARE THE BEST. period. Do yourself a favor and try out Ted's. read more

This was my first brunch in DC and I feel like it was a good choice. The atmosphere of the place is so cute! I love the old diner feel. Our server was super sweet and very attentive, despite how busy everything was. The drinks are great and I love the fact that the mimosas come in other flavors than orange! I got the pineapple ginger mimosa and it was one of the best decisions I've made in quite a long time. The food was okay. I feel like the eggs, bacon and hashbrowns were void of flavor and required a lot of salt, pepper and ketchup to make the food flavorful. The pancakes were fantastic and really made up for the lack of flavor with the sides. All in all, I really enjoyed it and will be returning! read more

Stopped in during a recent visit to DC because Lord knows I haven't forgotten about the Ted Tart since I first had it years ago. It was early evening and I really wanted breakfast so we stopped here and got french toast, hashbrowns, bacon and eggs. The dish is so large y'all that my homegirl and I was able to share and still had leftovers. We sat at the bar and had an awesome time mingling with other guests as well as the bartenders. It was a fast paced atmosphere with great service. Of course I got a few ted tarts to go to close out the evening. You won't be disappointed here. read more

I'm only writing about the pop tarts. I heard that you had to come here to try their famed, homemade pop tarts, so I made the trek just to try these. I think that they definitely have the best pop tarts I have tried (comparing it to just commercial pop tarts though lol), but I think as a standalone dessert it wasn't anything amazing... I tasted the strawberry pop tart and the blueberry cheesecake one, and I definitely liked the blueberry cheesecake one more. Both of them had an overly sweet, fruit jam but the the strawberry one was too much. I do like the crust part of these pastries more - there was actually some flavor to them (not like the stiff ones from the boxes) and it crumbled beautifully. Now that I've tried them, i don't think I'll be NEEDING to go out of my way to visit there again. Maybe I'll come back to try their actual menu items. read more

Met up with a couple friends before seeing our San Jose Sharks take on the Washington Capitals and it was a bit of a mix bag. The restaurant has a diner vibe and the staff is great. We were told everything was made from scratch in house too. Between my wife and I, we split the breakfast burrito and the short rib sandwich. Both were well prepared but somehow seemed just 'OK'. Not why really as it was a decent amount of food but was maybe a bit on the bland side. The dessert however is where Ted's excels. You absolutely must get a pop tart or 10. I only wish we got more than 2. The chocolate cake was outstanding and I might still be on a sugar high. Overall I'd come back again, but mostly for dessert. read more

This is the first restaurant I visited on my trip to Washington DC. We went for brunch after landing in the morning. I got the breakfast sandwich which was excellent! My daughter had the papas bravas which was probably one of the best things I have ever had. I am not usually a fan of chorizo but oh my goodness this was a great dish!! I loved the fact they left a coffee pot on the table because we for sure love our coffee. I am not sure if I will get back to DC any time but if I do I will definitely go back here! read more
