    Footlong and regular charred hotdogs w/fries.
    Paige J.

    I will always go to Ted's for a hotdog, fries (vinegar), and a large Loganberry! Nothing has changed with the quality of the food, customer service, or overall experience. #HappyEating #DogFriendly #EatOutside

    Chilly night on the patio at Ted's with the fam'!

    Ted's Hot Dogs are a WNY staple. Char-grilled hot dogs with that blackened and singed taut casing, that snaps on your teeth when you bite in, at just the right time ... that one bite, it is a whole experience, in and of itself. :-D Ted's locations across WNY all operate fairly the same. You order at the register and rattle off what toppings you want on your dogs and/or burgers. Then your meats (or meat-free meats) hit the grill, are rolled around to your done'ness liking, then bunned-and-loaded-up with all your picks. And that's it, you're on your way to a table to indulge in some glorious gluttony. We've visited this particular Ted's a few times during pandemic times for a couple reasons. We like their outdoor seating area; the tables are well spaced out and not too close to the road. And we like the online ordering, so you don't have to wait in line inside. Online ordering allows for easy topping customizations and cooking preferences, and then quick grab-and-go at the counter when it's all ready. As for my Ted's faves, I typically always go footlong. That way I don't feel like a piggy, eating two hot dogs, hehehe. I load up my footlong with raw onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickle chips, and catsup and mustard. It's quite the task to eat, and my husband gets a kick out of watching me try and wrangle the beast, but I get it done. :-P The hubbs usually goes for a dog or two, sometimes a burger, but also throws in an audible with a sausage, all of which he enjoys. Our son enjoys the kids meals, which conveniently come with drinks. We also have a vegan daughter in the family, and Ted's offers vegan hot dogs too, with all the same vegetable toppings available, of course. Plus, if you are a vegan or vegetarian who is particularly concerned with cross-contamination, you can request a glove-change between orders. Online ordering allows you to easily request this glove-change, too. I'm writing this review on an 80-plus degree beautiful April day in WNY. And it has me thinking this Ted's patio may be in the cards for us again soon on one of these gorgeous spring days. If you too have a hankering for all-American comfort burgers-and-dogs grill food done right, Ted's just may be in your sunny future too! :-D

    Hot Dog and Fries

    Ted's never disappoints when it comes to burgers and hot dogs, and this location is pretty solid! I commend this location for their service. We went as a family yesterday and we ended up waiting around 30 minutes before we were able to eat. They seem to be short staffed and they did the best they could: taking orders down the line of people, having everything ready when we got to the register, etc. Most restaurants are having a genuinely hard time now due to short staffing so I applaud them for their work! The food itself was tasty! It's hard to mess up a hot dog with ketchup, so I know what to expect each time I'm here. Their French fries are some of my favorites in Buffalo, though, so I always make sure to get myself an order. This location is nearest to where I'm living at the moment so I've had many good times here over the years!

    Two regular chargrilled dogs, a fry, cheddar sauce, horseradish sauce and a medium diet pepsi.

    The Scarlet Vetter says....Ted's Hot Dogs, regardless of the Western New York location you choose, serves great "fast" food consistently. While the price of a hot dog today at $3.75 is a far cry from the 1960's price of $.15, nothing beats the chargrilled taste, done to order at the grill while you watch. The system they have down to keep the line moving is pretty much to a science. Pictured was the line at 1:30 pm on this Saturday after Thanksgiving. It moved pretty fast and before I knew it I was diving into two chargrilled dogs, with hot sauce, sweet relish, mustard and onions with a pickle on the side of each. I really like how you can direct the dog makers on how to top each dog while you watch as well. Food as entertainment! A side of fries with cheddar cheese sauce and horseradish sauce and a medium diet pepsi, rounded out my meal. Total came to $18.61. If your companion can't stomach a dog, there are other choices availsble, such as burgers (including an impossible burger) sausages, a fried bologna sandwich, chicken sandwich and a fried fish basket. All good stuff!

    It wouldn't be summer in Buffalo without a few trips to Ted's Hot Dogs to enjoy a great sahlens hot dog, some batter dipped onion rings and loganberry drink. Great as always

    So everyone has pretty much given this a 4, it is a hit dog place, so if you're looking for gourmet cuisine, you've come to the wrong place. For a fast (kinda) food place, it gets a five from me. It's everything I've asked fir. A flame grilled dog, which tastes better than those done after home...crispy onion rings, more like straws, and thin crispy fries. I got the split, which having lived in Buffalo most of my entire life, I never knew this existed. Half fries/half rings for $4.89. Otherwise, fries, $2.44, 3.54 or just rings 4.79. If you're like me, you want both anyways. Of course, I had to top off the Buffalo tastings with a loganberry. That is a small in the picture.

    Was thinking about warmer weather and sunny skies and immediately began craving Ted's. This fast-casual Buffalo staple has quality food at an affordable price. Char-grilled to perfection, your mouth waters as you watch the crew members sear, flip, and grill your food. The shoestring fries are perfectly salted but the best side would have to be the onion rings. They're unlike your typical thick circular onion rings, Ted's take a much more authentic and rustic approach with a light-handed batter and rough cut onions. Make sure to take a picture of your tray perfectly piled together because... did you even go to Ted's if you don't snap that iconic tetris-like tray pic?

    You really messed up! Burned onion rnigs and cold Ordered goofed up in general And this went of your kitchen....SHAME on you Your comment we had been busy - who cares we all all are and if not busy u would note oh "19" lost us too much business Busy is never an excuse it it a signal to make things happen I personally think this was elder abuse as I wonder if a younger person this would occurr

I had a nice lunch here on a Friday afternoon with friends; one of them being gluten free. If you plan on dining in, be prepared that you may have to wait as the indoor dining area is not very large. They also offer patio seating on nice days, though I'm not sure how large that area is. There is a large bakery case to the right when you walk in and my GF friend gravitated there and had to order her goodies right away to make sure they were secured while we waited for our table. She ordered 2 cinnamon rolls, a cookie, a pastry heart and one more item all for under $20. She enjoyed them all, the cinnamon rolls being her favorite. We were seated in about 10 minutes and brought drinks right away. We ordered an app sampler, fries, Cluck Norris (fried chicken sandwich) and a Turkey Reuben wrap. The wrap and also the sandwich came with a choice of greens, house chips, sauteed vegetables or an upgrade to fries or onion rings. My GF friend had the apps and fries since at many places she cannot have such things: it included mozzarella sticks, pretzel nuggets, Chicken fingers and fried pickle spears with all the accompanying dippers. She said the mozz sticks were a bit too thick for her/not hot enough because there wasn't a good cheese pull, but she thought everything tasted good. The fries were thin cut and tasted good, but she prefers a thicker fry as do I. The wrap was made with real, thick sliced turkey breast, not lunch meat, which was very exciting for me. It was moist and delicious. My other friend had not complaints about her Cluck Norris sandwich. Whether or not you are gluten free, I would recommend Kith & Kin for some good quality eats & baked goods! The staff was all super friendly, from the bakery area to the wait staff, not a mean mug in the house! haha

My mom and I had quinoa bases with chicken breast and veggies and all the boys had mac & cheese bases with various meats including pulled pork and jerk chicken. My dad also got a cherry protein smoothie, which he let me taste and it was like a yummy milkshake. They use a very clean protein powder, Jocko. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, which were flavorful and a good sized portion. The staff was friendly and helpful with any questions we had.
