Meh. Underwhelming. First of all, the steak was very good. We ordered the deviled eggs and although looking really good, they tasted okay. There was kind of a lemony taste to the filling which to me, wasn't great. Bottom-line, I would not order them again. I ordered the 8 dollar strawberry milkshake, and kudos for how much you get. BUT, a lot of it went to waste because this shake was very plain. Almost tasted more like a vanilla shake. Steak Frites. Seriously...I ordered Steak Frites and they forgot the frites part. I had to tell the Server who brought out the fries with hard parmesan slices. The steak should be on the top with the juices on the fries and melting the cheese. I guess one can dream.... Bottom-line here, I just wouldn't eat here. With tip, our meal was over a hundred bucks which would have been better used elsewhere. read more

Great place to go for a weekend brunch. I don't have a restaurant like this in Florida so I was happy to try something new. Reservations are needed as this place gets busy. I sat at a countertop and ordered chicken tenders with 4 cheese mac n cheese and a strawberry milkshake. The chicken tenders were nicely seasoned, with honey mustard on the side. The macaroni & cheese was okay, not as creamy all around like I would want. Strawberry milkshake was awesome! Looking forward to returning to try more dishes. read more

This place over the years has slowly declined when it comes to service. You get a bad vibe like the staff don't want to be there. The hostesses are just chatting away and when someone comes in, it's take a while before they notice. The manager looks like he's training everyone there on the spot. I have also heard from other friends that live in RTC that it's not the best place to go anymore. Their 14th st location in DC has better service and are friendly. read more

My parents are in town, so we met up with some cousins here for breakfast. Called ahead and they had a large table with comfy leather bench waiting for us. The ambience is great; it's reminiscent of an old Manhattan dining establishment from the forties. My mom and I split a breakfast because a: we figured generous portions and b: we've been eating out a lot and didn't want to overdo it. We got the pancake stack with eggs over easy and hash browns. They came already halved for us; the eggs and hash browns were perfectly cooked and seasoned and the pancakes were light and fluffy. It was the perfect amount of food. My dad got the Big Mark breakfast: two eggs, choice of meat (he picked sausage patty), hash browns with choice of toast (whole wheat, the, white, sourdough). Huge plate of food. My one cousin got the Jon's omelet. Looked amazing. Another got the Walk of Shame breakfast burrito. It was huge. Another got the Nana's beer biscuits and sausage gravy with two eggs and hash browns. He's 13-plate was pretty much wiped clean (mopped up all the gravy with his biscuits). The 8 year old got the smiley face pancake; she loved it. Eyes were banana coins with blueberry pupils and a strawberry nose and whip cream smile. There were crayons and coloring pages too. Hot chocolate comes with generous amount of whip cream and chocolate sauce drizzle. My dad's Original Bloody Mary, one of four types you can order was spicy and delicious. Angelica did a superb job of taking care of us, very attentive. Awesome experience. Will definitely be back to try some of their pastries! read more

Ted's Bulletin Reston - A delicious mocha latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reston, Virginia

This is a great place! The atmosphere is beyond cool! It's a retro 60's eatery with an extra touch of comfort food yummy on top! From the decor, to the movie screen in back showing the Groucho Max Movie I was hooked. The bathrooms join in on the fun by having doors that show names as in old detective movies of the period. The dark wood and antique tiles complete the look that brings out a feel of time travel. Then the food. OH the FOOD!! I had the Short Rib Sammy. It was SO worth the gluten intake!! (Yes, they do Offer non-gluten option. But I wanted The Whole Shabang!) It was Delish!!!!! LOVED IT!! Topped with arugula and Horseradish mayo, which gave it that perfect kick! (Hint: Get the mayo in the side and add to your taste). I opted for the cheese grits as a side- the were good as well. Not to mention the numerous other amazing sounding options on the menu, which made it extremely hard to choose!! So, I'll be back until I make it through it all!! The staff was friendly, cheerful, and always at the ready to help. I'm a word -perfect! read more

For family dining, you can choose between for offerings that feed four people with generous portions and reheatable leftovers. There is a chicken Parmesan entrée with salad, garlic bread, and those little housemaid pop tarts they make that taste so good. The meatloaf option comes with a side of mashed potatoes and glazed carrots and those little pop tarts. You can get the same sides/fixings for the country fried chicken and short rib pot roast entrée options as well. Teds is running a special on their gift cards, likely because of the Covid pandemic, and offers a $25 bonus card when you purchase $100 gift card. You can also buy these online and use them to pay for your order. It's like getting 20% off because you can buy $125 worth of food for $100. read more

First of all, the server "Maxwell" (appropriate for a breakfast restaurant) is top-notch. 10/10 ties and customer service. Her: The avocado toast is the best I've ever had and as a fairly basic millennial, I've had many. The sea salt is ideal. The sprouts sprout seeds of happiness that start your day, or afternoon, off right. Him: French toast - "Dank and succulent". Dripping in syrup. Both: homemade pop-tarts- OH MAMA. The aphrodisiac for sure. Only negative: inconsistent eggs - unless scrambled. read more

We've been to the one in DC, but this was is larger and equally as fabulous. We went for a late dinner, and had a great time. We had the tots as a starter - came piping hot and hit the spot. Everything we ordered was tasty: steak and eggs, eggs benedict, mushroom stroganoff and even the veggie burger! read more

Saturday afternoon and the place is bustling with the brunch crowd. Thankfully, our party of five only had a 20 minute wait (plenty of standing room in the bar-area). Were quickly given menus after getting seated at a booth. Breakfast menu has your typical options as well as more extravagant choices. Kept it simple and ordered the "Jon's Omelet" with sausage ($13) and a coffee ($3). Omelet is large (taking up half the plate) and served alongside hashbrown and a slice of bacon. Nothing too fancy here - eggs are cooked well and stuffed with sausage, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. Hashbrowns are a bit oily; helped with some hot sauce provided. Coffee is unlimited, and they even leave the pot for you. Food here is standard, but the service is solid. Good option for any time of day. read more

Ted's Bulletin Reston - Jon's omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reston, Virginia

When Ted's Bulletin first opened in DC, I bookmarked it all the while thinking that we would get there during one of our forays into DC. Well...as my DC bookmarks grew, Ted's seemed to fall down the list when it came time to choose a place for dinner. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that they were now in Reston Town Center so no need to go to DC to try them. It's located in the spot where Uno's was. We were here on a Saturday night around 5 p.m. and were surprised to be told that there would be a 20-25 minute wait for a table. After deciding that we still wanted to eat there, we were given a pager and told that it would work up to 1/2 block away. We took the pager and saw that The Pottery Barn was 1/2 block away so we headed there to kill time. As we were crossing Market Street, a Ted's employee came running after us yelling, "Hey, guys!" He told us that a table just came open. That was nice of them to send someone after us and we appreciated it! We noticed that a lot of the infrastructure that was there for Uno's was left in place but Ted's put its own stamp on the dining area. The seating is tight and the chairs used were the type of old seats once found in schools. The place is very loud so at times it is difficult to have a conversation without constantly saying "what?". Our server, Rachel, was very friendly, efficient and prompt. She knew the menu very well. When we were seated, we were given 2 food menus but only 1 drink menu. My husband had just finished looking at it when she asked what we wanted to drink. One of the mixed drinks that has "dogpatch" in its name isn't available in Virginia. It seems that Ted's makes one of the alcoholic ingredients that is in it and doing that, apparently, is illegal in Virginia. So, after a quick glance at the drink menu, I chose a mixed drink called Lincoln County Line. I forget exactly what was in it but it had vodka and some fruit juices with a Rosemary sprig for garnish. It was on the tart side but not bad at all. My husband chose Ted's Light beer which he said was a lager and he was pleasantly surprised as he said it was good. For dinner, I chose to order off the breakfast menu and had The Big Mark. This dish consists of "3 eggs, 2 bacon strips, 2 sausage patties, hash browns, toast and a homemade pop tart. I got the eggs fried over easy and chose marbled rye bread for my toast. For my pop tart, I chose peanut butter and bacon. Our server said that this pop tart was sweet and savory. This dish was very filling! The eggs were cooked exactly as I ordered them. The sausage patties were clearly made in-house. At first bite, they taste sweet due to the maple syrup but then the heat in them catches up to you! The hash browns were perfectly cooked as they were just crisp enough on the outside but on the inside were still soft and flavorful. I ended up taking the pop tart home and ate it later. When eating it, the peanut butter and the sweetness of the crust came through but I tasted very little bacon. The funny thing is after I ate it, a sweet and savory flavor lingered in my mouth. All in all, it was quite good. My husband ordered meatloaf with Mingo County ketchup glaze. This dish comes with your choice of 2 sides. He chose mac and three cheese plus BBQ baked beans. The meatloaf portion consisted of 2 large pieces! My husband said---and I agreed---that one piece would have been enough. I tasted his meatloaf and found it to be flavorful and moist and he agreed. Our server said that she thought this meatloaf was better than her mom's LOL! The 3 cheeses in the mac and three cheese are regular cheddar, white cheddar and asiago. It is topped with bread crumbs and is gooey, smooth and tasty. The BBQ baked beans were sweet but not overly so. We were too full to even consider dessert! All in all, it was a great dining experience with both great service and great food. Before the tip, dinner cost $47 + change. We both agree that we will add this Ted's into our restaurant rotation and will try other items next time. read more

We had an awesome dinner here. It was a Saturday at around 6:30 pm and the wait was about 50 mins. Our server was awesome. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I really like the ambiance. It's laid back. Their milkshakes are delicious, they even have adult milkshakes. It wasn't too heavy or overly sweet. The s'mores and coffee were on point! The food is great. Nothing was overly salty. The portions are generous and it's all seasoned well. I think it's really cool that they offer breakfast anytime. If you're looking for an appetizer, I highly recommend the Crispy Pretzels served with smoked cheese and beer fondue. The pretzels were fresh and you will end up licking the bowl the fondue comes in (lol). I also recommend Drew's Peanut Butter Bacon Burger. It sounded interesting and I wasn't sure how it would taste at first, but it's a great flavor combo. The peanut butter worked really well in there. The meat patty was cooked perfectly. It had a nice grilled flavor. Their fries are well prepared and seasoned. Don't forget to try their homemade poptarts. They have them on display towards the front of their restaurant. They are excellent! Even the sprinkles on these puppies taste homemade. I can't wait to come back. read more

A pretty safe American option. Big menu but would say the food could be a hit or a miss. The milkshake was delicious and the patty for the all American burger was great. However they do give way too many fries, carrots etc to fill up the plate. The Nashville hot chicken was a little dry but overall we enjoyed our time. read more

It was my baby sister's bday and I made my mom write her a note to stay home so I can take her out for breakfast (does that make me a bad sister or good sister??) We made it at 9 am and got seated right away. I loved the oldschool decor, the restaurant was clean and it was spacious. The breakfast menu looked promising and since I couldn't decide (as always) SOOOO my fat butt got the Big Mark Breakfast which is 3 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, hash browns and homemade pop tart. I also got the corned beef hash as a side (don't judge me). So the breakfast was NOT worth my $13, really the eggs, bacon and sausage was something I could get from Ihop, nothing special. The hash browns were a thin layer of butter...with hash browns in it. I mean it was barely any potatoes in there, I was very sad. My body I'm sure was dying from the butter but it was the best part of my breakfast. For $13, definitely not worth it. The corn beef hash was good, chunky pieces of corn beef and the potatoes were soft and seasoned well. It was pretty good. Well of course besides the phenomenal homemade poptarts was the real reason I came in, since I've heard so much about it. The poptarts were soo good that I came back 2 weeks later and came in just to get poptarts...about 6 (fat girl status). I wanted to give one to everyone in my family and tell them how good it was. We had the strawberry, blueberry cheesecake, pb and bacon, and brown sugar. I didn't get to try pb and bacon but strawberry is my absolute favorite. It's so light and decadent, the strawberry filling is so good, it's quite addicting. The 3 stars is really for the poptarts but I'll come back for lunch/dinner. Next time for breakfast I'll make sure to not get something I could easily get from Ihop or anything over $11. Also service could have been a bit better, my server was not that friendly with a bit of a stand off-ish attitude. Not enjoyable to see at 9 am in the morning either. Hope my trip will be more memorable next time. read more

Ordered fish and chips for pick-up, which we picked up promptly at the given time and ate within 10 minutes. the fish itself was quite good - tender, flaky, and a crisp fry, but was barely warm. the fries, unfortunately, were just slightly above "cold", soft, and not seasoned very well. the coleslaw was tasty, with a bit of an acidic kick to it (in a good way). considering the price, I do expect better. read more

My friend and I stopped in here for a bite to eat for lunch. The server was fast and attentive. It was hard to choose something since everything sounded so yummy. I also love places that serve breakfast all the time. I ended up ordered The Jennifer which is a grilled marbled rye, turkey, cole slaw, 1000 Island. The rye bread was definitely buttery and rich. Honestly though when you come here you have to throw out any diet rules you may have. The Jennifer was really good and enjoyed the fries. My friend had raved out their poptarts and coffee. The coffee was delicious and have gotten a coffee to go before. The poptart was just okay. I am not sure if maybe i need to really like poptarts to appreciate the taste. I did like that the poptart was better than your typical prepackaged ones from the store. read more

Ted's Bulletin Reston - The Rachel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reston, Virginia

3.5 stars. We dined here on Valentine's night (2/14/14), so naturally there was an expected wait. 45-50 minutes, so we grabbed a drink. I like that there's a bar in the front section that we could stand near to wait. I ordered a Nutty Professor adult milkshake, which came with hazelnut liqueur I believe. It was absolutely delicious. ****PSA: GET AN ADULT MILKSHAKE.**** (Maybe after dinner though, because I was full by the time we got to a table). I ordered the Country-fried steak with 3-cheese macaroni, and mashed potatoes with gravy. It was huge! Perfectly fried outside that was somewhat light and crispy, smothered with white gravy. Deeeelicous. The mac and cheese was great, and potatoes were potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the parmesan chicken spaghetti. Pasta and sauce was average, but the chicken was amazing. It was crusted with some great herbs and melted cheese (provolone?) on top. Made the meal! We also ordered a bowl of chili, which comes with 2 pieces of (grilled?) cornbread. Interesting, but not a huge huge fan. The chili was above-average though. Overall, cute spot; something a little different than your average chain restaurants. I'll come back for those famous poptarts and drinks (they have their own Ted's on tap), and maybe try the all-day breakfast. read more

I got the chance to come here for dinner last week. Love the warm homey feeling Ted's has with its interior. I went with friends and we started off with some drinks. Our server was great! She let us know that if we were not happy with the drinks to let them know and they would find something else for us. She let us know this as we were trying out some of their special cocktails. I had the MR. RUPERT and it was great! The definitely do not take a light hand with the cocktails which I appreciate when I am paying so much for one. For dinner I was going to get the Country Fried Steak but our server got my mouth watering with the special of a half smoke chicken with your choice of 2 sides. I really liked that you can really chose any side to go with this. A lot of places try to up-charge for different sides. I got the onion rings and the blue cheese bacon Brussels. The onion rings were massive and crispy and the Brussels were absolutely delicious! The chicken was moist and fell off the bone. I did not care for the white bbq sauce that came with the chicken as it had mayonnaise in it and I am very sensitive to that. Our server saw that I was scraping it off and kindly brought me a different sauce (the one that comes with their meat loaf) and it was much better for me! We were too stuffed to get dessert but it all looked so good, especially their home made pop tarts. Our server was great (the manager even checked in on us) and the food was delicious, I will definitely return in the future. read more

Waited a long time for this place to open up here in Reston. I am a fan of the Matchbox restaurants so I was hoping this would be as good, it wasn't. Drinks - They have some cocktails they make here, but no one at my table really cared for any of the ones they had. I tried to order a beer, but they were out of it. So I decided to get a milkshake, which I must admit was good. Every time someone ordered a drink it took way to long to get. Food - They failed to tell us what they were out of when they gave us the menus. Of course the item I was going to order, meatloaf, they didn't have that night. I ended up getting the steak with mac and cheese and rice. The steak came out decent enough. I think my plate sat for a bit waiting for the other three at my table though. The mac and cheese was 3 stars and the rice was good, albeit a very small portion for what was probably the cheapest thing to make. Service - The service was decent enough. I understand the place just opened and all, but half the people bringing stuff to the table kept setting it down in front of the wrong person. I am sure that will just take time. For all the hype though, it really wasn't there yet. I think this place can improve though, so I will be back to try it again. read more

Nice outdoor patio, friendly staff, and huge portions of tasty food! We really enjoyed our meal at Ted's Bulletin and appreciated that they were pet-friendly and provided our dogs space outside with water. The food was delicious - milkshakes were excellent and the homemade pop tarts were a must! For brunch, make sure to come hungry as the portions were huge and you will likely walk away with some leftovers. We really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy and the breakfast burrito. Prices were very reasonable and service was great! We'd be back the next time that we are in the area. read more

Ordered takeout; burgers with side salads, side of tots and some Ted's tarts. Everything was truly delicious! The burgers were above average as were the salads with homemade dressings. The star of the meal was the tarts...buttery crust, delicious and generous portion of fillings! I'm taking one star off for the very greasy tots (ruined them) and the fact that they left off the requested fresh toppings from the burgers. Great food though!!! read more

Went on March 16th when our son was home. It has been his favorite place for years. My husband even gives us gift cards to enjoy Ted's. Previously we have had solid service from Mr. Genero and other staff members. During Covid we were avid customers. Take out was a regular event. When we went on the 16th, we were suggested to take a high top in the bar as there were very few customers there. From the beginning, eye rolling because we didn't need menus. We knew what we wanted to order, and that was met with disfavor. All day breakfast? I was told they were out of biscuits. Our breakfasts came, my son's pancakes were smaller than normal. I had asked for a biscuit and was told they were out. Our food was served, the bartender never checked on us. She was a few feet away. It took a while to attract her attention. I ordered a pop tart and sweets to go. I sat watching her hang out with co-workers...they were having a lively discussion. One left and came back, eating a biscuit‍ When we were finally able to obtain the bill, I pointed out that the young man was eating one. At no point did I raise my voice. I wanted to leave. The bartender with drama walked off to get the manager. The manager asked to explain and I said, "Please, we'd like to go..." She kept talking and I asked, "Please, we want to pay the bill and go..." We had been finished and it was so truly painful. I could understand if the young lady was slammed, but she wasn't. I had previously asked about the cherry poptarts that we saw on Instagram -the bartender said, "Oh, we don't follow the other restaurants...we'll have them at the end of the week..." The manager came over and said, "Oh, come back after 4...we'll have them." My son's favorite restaurant was off. Stories didn't align. We usually go in, eat and leave. We've never had an experience like this at Ted's. Mr Genero came over...he is always so kind and considerate. He was apologizing, but it wasn't his fault. Please, figure out what's going on. This has been our go-to for years. read more

So I came here the other day after getting in to Dulles and off a long flight from Dubai. I had an amazing three weeks abroad, food included, but was excited to eat something homey and more familiar. I ordered the corned beef hash and it was just eh. It came highly recommended from the server, so my expectations were definitely not met and honestly, I found it a little hard to finish. My niece's French toast, on the other hand, was very good, and my dad's burrito, another loser. 1 out of 3 is not great odds. I do have to say, the poptarts that we ordered to go, were terrific, as always. The devil's food cake tasted completely different from the one I have gotten at the Capitol Hill location, and not in a good way. I don't know if it was a different cake (I asked before buying and they said it was the same) or just an off day, but I was sorry for the outrageous $10 I spent on it. On the service front, I really wish I could remember our server's name, as she was lovely, efficient and engaging and I don't often feel that way when doing business in northern Virginia. Paying for parking was a bummer-bad move on the part of the shopping center, particularly during the day when it's dead. Odd choice to make it free in the evening when it's busier. I read in another review that Ted's validates for an hour, but 1) how is this communicated?? I didn't see a sign and no one told us and 2) don't most people spend more than an hour in a restaurant? Silly. read more

I made an order online and when I went to pick it up, I found out they gave it to somebody else, and they asked me to take somebody's else order, I refused and I asked to talk to the manager but he didn't want to come to me, and at the end they asked me if I can wait 20 minutes to make an other one, I was totally fine and just standing waiting for my order next to the door, and guess what, after 15 minutes of wait the manager (the bold guy) came out with no reason at all and asked me to leave, I tried to understand, he started yelling at me and telling me that I was telling his people I'm not leaving till I got my order, and I swear to God I didn't say or did anything, the only thing I can say that that manager he's just crazy. read more

Breakfast was so great that we came again for dinner. But totally different experience. First, we were not waited on promptly because there was one big group being attended to which means they don't have enough staff. We ordered the impossible Bolognese and impossible burger with truffle fries. The Bolognese was cold and the pasta was over cooked and the sauce tasted like canned sauce. The burger was like I microwave. The truffle fries were salty and soggy. We were hungry and ate but it was gross. The chai latte was cold and the beer glasses smelled like old water. It was the worst and won't be going back ever. It was just gross. I will be writing a Google review and will be writing the store as well. It was the worst restaurant and food experience in 2022 for me. I regretted not going to the next door restaurant north italia or the ramen place. read more

Ted's Bulletin is a higher-end dinner and it serves...higher end dinner food. It's good for kids, has something on the menu to please anyone and bakes in house.

Good for groups too. read more

Ted's Bulletin Reston - S'mores pop tart - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I've been to the DC Ted's twice before and, since I was in the area and wanted dessert, I decided to stop in. Luckily, the salted caramel pop tart was being offered for a limited time. The crust was tender and the caramel was tasty. Love anything salted and caramel so I'm biased. I can't really tell you what he filling was though, as there didn't seem to be too much of it. The carrot cake slice (which is enough to feed at least 3) was really good. Often, carrot cake is dry but this wasn't. The frosting was good and had nuts on the outside of the cake. They get a plus for the crunch and flavor, but a minus for not actually putting the nuts in the cake itself. Then again, they get another plus for plating it with caramel sauce. So, I'll be back to try the entrees here because the desserts were good and the service was super friendly and efficient. Also, they have a chicken pot pie on the menu that's calling my name. read more

Love the food and visiting Ted's Bulletin. I've been to two of their locations, Reston and Merrifield. They have great food and really good service, even when they are busy. I frequently sit outside on their small patio and people watch while enjoying my meal, usually dinner! Currently they are only open for takeout and for the time being that is fine with me. I can still get their pop tarts, which are a house specialty. I can still get the food I like, even a more limited menu. I highly recommend this restaurant. Come and get some takeout and support this local classic! read more

Ted's feels like an upscale diner, with a wonderful mid-20th century atmosphere. (I picture New York and Chicago, but I haven't been to either often enough to know if that's a good reference.) The food is good old American home cooking, and there's -loads- of food on each plate so bring an appetite. All of the food I've had so far has been at least very good -- I'm definitely partial to the excellent breakfast food though. The menu is large and diverse, and you can get most items all day, except for dinner options, which are served only after 11:00am. There's a large bar at the front of the restaurant, with several dining areas stretching beyond that with plentiful seating at booths and tables. There's a big-screen TV at the back of the restaurant showing old shows and movies. Chalk boards around the bar show the variety of drinks -- including the adult milkshakes (which, adult or otherwise, are rich with flavor and -huge-) -- and pastry cases around the bar show off baked goods including the unique, homemade tarts. The staff is very friendly and efficient and dressed in an atmosphere-enhancing old-school way. I look forward to returning! read more

I came here with a couple girlfriends to celebrate a birthday with an all around classic American brunch and had a less than savory experience. With as crowded as it was outside the restaurant there was not much of a wait to be seated. However it took a very long time to be waited on and to be served. We requested a dietary modification from the waitress due to religious practices and had the requested completely disregarded. Additionally the waitress was dismissive and inattentive the entire time. Overall, the Thick-Cut French Toast is good and a very large portioned meal. All their plates are a great size to split between two people. The Espresso Milkshake is fantastic as well. If you are considering coming without a reservation, I highly advise against it. I believe my party of guests would have been respected more had we done so in advance. Low rating due to the poor customer service from the wait staff. read more

Unfortunately Clyde's had a long wait and we decided to eat here instead. After ordering our food we had wait for too long for the food to come out. It would be ok if our meals were freshly prepared and good ingredients were used. The chicken Caesar salad came out with wilted, yellow/ brown lettuce. Biscuits and chicken were deplorable as well: cold and over cooked biscuits with chicken tenders the size of my index finger ( I am a small person, just for reference). We only complained about the lettuce, which was replaced, but not mixed well with the dressing at this time. On my opinion, we should not have been charged for it. McDonald's would have been a fresher option at that point. Service was also sloppy, drinks were never refilled. Please spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

We were in the area to pickup a few lamps that my wife bought on Facebook Marketplace, she tells me that the right lamps are hard to find and jumped at the chance to buy these as they were perfect. I digress, we were looking for something different and stumbled upon Ted's and we are glad we did. We both ended up having breakfast food for lunch and it was delicious. She had the make your own and I chose the Biscuits and Gravy with the homemade tater tots. I'm a huge fan of the tater tot, normally either the disk type or the small barrel shaped are served, but not at Ted's! These were cube shaped and were amazing!! All in all we really enjoyed our lunch and hope to return again. And my wife really likes the lamps! read more
