This place is delicious! I had a cheese burger, and it was made to order! It tasted flame broiled and seasoned well! It's a nice home style vibe and the workers are really kind and polite! Definitely recommend! read more

Love a good charred hotdog and fries. The service was kind of slow moving but it was good for an easy night out.

Going to Ted's is like being around family. It reminds me of the times I've been there with my grandparents, with my niece and after my graduation. The food is always delicious and brings me comfort. If you're from Buffalo it's a staple and if you leave, you have to come back and get some when you visit. It's a must. read more

Good food. We had a Footlong with Mac-N-Cheese, all-beef with pickle spear and sauerkraut, nacho cheese sauce, fries and onion rings and two drinks. A bit pricey at $35 for two adults. read more

Should not have ordered during a bills game. Young kids were too busy watching game to cook food properly. Hamburger was bloody red and flat as pancakes. Fries and milks shake was good though. read more

Not the same Ted's that I grew up with. Seems like the overall standards may have dropped from what I remember. If you've never been to Ted's, it is a staple in WNY for their chargrilled hot dogs and hamburgers. Known for the unique flavor of being cooked on a cast iron grill over real charcoal briquettes. You place your order for hot dogs, burgers, French fries, onion rings, and such at the grill. Once your meats are cooked, you tell them what you want to drink and which toppings and fixings you want on the hot dogs and hamburgers. They also have soft drinks and shakes. I went here for dinner, and there were about 6 people in front of me in line. Usually, the line moves fast as they are quick to take orders and get everything cooked and moving along. Not this visit. They were shuffling employees around as employees were asking to go to the bathroom and go on break. The line moved very slowly, and I ended up waiting over 30 minutes in line with only 6 people in line ahead of me. I ordered two hot dogs and a hamburger. They had my burger cooked very quickly, but they then let it sit for a while before it was my turn to tell them what toppings I wanted on it. My burger was cold and dry by the time it was topped and handed to me. Hot dogs had the wrong toppings on them, but the French fries were good. As suspected, the burger was dry and cold. All in all, it was not a good experience and a complete reversal from how I remember Ted's being when I grew up going here regularly. I usually don't visit the North Tonawanda Ted's, so maybe this location has always been mediocre at best. Nothing positively memorable about this location. read more

I noticed when posting this review that all other Ted locations have 4 stars, while this one only had 3 -- so maybe when visiting Buffalo try a different location. I got the regular hot dog with chili and cheese, and my boyfriend got "the works" with ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, hot sauce and a pickle. Also got the onion rings for a side. I would give the onion rings a 2 cause they were super greasy and somewhat soggy, I would give the chili cheese a 3 cause it wasn't bad, just lacked flavor, and "the works" between a 4 and 5. As a fast food chain, I would say this location is pretty average. But they do have Cherry Coke which is a win in my book! read more

Every time I am visiting home to WNY i have to get a Teds hot dog, fries and Logan Berry. Brings me back to my childhood summers with the family! I mainly go to the Teds on Sheridan, but I was in the area in N Tonawanda so this is where I stopped. It was clean and not busy inside and I was able to get my order quickly. Tasted just as good as ever! read more

I recently went to Ted's Hot Dogs for the first time and to be honest it was ok. The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because of the onions rings but other than that I wasnt a big fan. I have been to other hot dog locations that have a variety of topping things you couldn't even imagine so I wasnt impressed. read more

We actually were at the West Amherst location this time and it was not good at all. The dog was fair at best and the rolls were potato rolls which we are not fans of. We also ordered the "SPLIT" side order of half fries and half onion rings. It was horrible...!!! The onion rings looked like black shoe laces and were not good at all...!!! As for the french fries; they might have thrown a dozen fries on the top of the onion rings and that was it and all for almost $7.00 for that side order called the "SPLIT"...!!! It was so bad that we couldn't eat it all even though we were still hungry and so bad that we took pictures of the rings...!!! We decided to email Ted's rather than try to cut in line to complain since it was very busy that day for the dinner crowd. It's been over 2 weeks now and we still have not heard back from anybody at Ted's yet...!!!??? We have decided that we will most likely never go back there or to any other Ted's location. The fact that they didn't acknowledge our email and complaint tells us all we need to know about Ted's.... I would never have posted this if Ted's would have acknowledged us and our concerns but here we are...!!! read more

Another Buffalo chain and institution. There are locations all over the Buffalo area and even one in Arizona. I don't eat at Ted's a whole bunch but when I do I usually enjoy my food. This review mostly pertains to the North Tonawanda location, though I have been to others around town including the Niagara Falls Blvd Amherst location. I usually go with a foot long and a side of fries or onion rings. You'll probably hear people claim that the onion rings here are the best in the world but I've had better. The onion rings are just okay in my opinion. They use Sahlen's hot dogs and cook them just how you ask them to. The hot dogs here are grilled, NOT boiled. I just want to clarify that. The real draw for Ted's is all of their awesome toppings. Seriously they have every topping. I love being able to get a dill pickle spear on my hot dog. Don't ask me why. Also, their special hot sauce is just amazing. Its a little sweet and a little spicy and has just the right amount of kick in it. Fun fact: their special hot sauce is a recipe brought over from Greece by Ted's founder, Ted Lairos. Also, if you don't have easy access to a Ted's location you can buy their hot sauce at Tops to try. I can only give Ted's three stars because you can honestly just cook Sahlen's on the grill at home yourself. That doesn't mean I don't like it though. Three stars for being a Buffalo institution and having a great topping selection. read more

Ted's Hot Dogs - Foot long with onion rings and fries. Check out the toppings on that dog! - Burgers Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

I believe this place might only be a buffalo thing? i've heard good things about it. the location i went to seemed to be out of the way from all the others, but the location was fine. we went late but it was clean and normal, kinda reminded me of a wendy's. the hot dogs are pretty good and i guess they better be for mainly being a hot dog place. they do sell beef and regular hot dogs as well as burgers. you can pick toppings to put on, but they also have choices of different hot dogs already made with toppings on it like mac n cheese. i was told to get the onion rings which are pretty good, but not amazing like i was told. i was also told to put vinegar on them as they have many vinegar dispensers to have at your table. i actually coudln't taste much of the vinegar unless i didn't put enough on. i would come here again to probably get a foot long hot dog or a hot dog that already has toppings on it. read more

Teds, They keep it simple, yet delicious. Especially, the North Tonawanda , NY location. I could taste the char-grilled deliciousness in both my burger and hot diggity dog . The kids gobbled up the basket of fries before we even got home. Will be back for a malt shake soon, once it warms up (WNY weather is crazy!). Thanks to the lovely staff at Ted's Hot Dogs in North Tonawanda read more

Snappy hot dogs, and good fries. Hot dogs are charcoal fired and very tasty. I can see why this place is a Buffalo institution. read more

Ted's Hot Dogs - two hot dogs and french fries - Burgers Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

The food is dull and basically garbage. The ordering process is extremely cringe-inducing and awkward. Basically you scream what you want to order at some teen who repeats it back to you over the roaring open flame grill so that you can barely hear it. Then you slowly shuffle sideways for an eternity until your hot dog is up. Anyone who goes here loves wasting money on nothing. read more

A little bit pricier than fast food joints but a whole heck of a lot better. My wife two kids and I go here probably once a week or once every two weeks for lunch. Never had a problem with the food quality or staff. Everything is consistently great. They have now expanded the menu to include healthy options. Or, on the other hand, bacon and cheese on everything. Big fan of teds. read more

Still the hot dog spot... Charcoal fired meat (and bacon). Can't beat local eats. Gone to several locations and things are good at all of them. read more

Ted's Hot Dogs - Bacon cheese footlong and mac - Burgers Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

Went to Teds in Amherst Monday and was so disappointed. I added grilled onions to my hotdog and they were absolutely terrible. But the biggest thing is they're serving hotdogs on a potato roll now and it was not good. There was a couple ahead of us that have never been to Ted's before they were from out of town and all I can think of is they must've walked out and thought what the hype was.Definitely won't be back! read more

They take orders and serve the food in a timely manner. They seem to do a poor job of keeping the bathrooms maintained though and I rarely see employees working on cleaning the customer areas either. read more

I used to love the service and quality of the food here. Except recently I went in too just get a burger, fries, and a side of cheese which seemed as if it was too much for the workers. I waited 30 minutes for fries, I'm assuming it was a manager that realized I've been waiting a while and told them to give me it (so their wasn't a reason to wait that long). I get to my car and realize they forgot my cheese. I go in and politely ask to have my side they roll their eyes at me and had me a side of cheese. The container the cheese was in was soaked in cheese, it got all over my hand. Disappointed. read more

I always go to Ted's when I am in Western New York. Today I ordered my usual fare; Italian sausage. I was very disappointed. The sausage was greasy, the onion and peppers where so overcooked that it was mush. The roll was fit for a hot dog not sausage. In summary, the sandwich was soggy, greasy and unappetizing. I can see that Ted's heyday was in the past. I won't be returning. read more

This place is just fast food, but pricer. Giving it one star because of this. Their burgers are so soft you don't even need teeth to eat them and they have the exact same flavor as Burger King. At least if I go to BK, their burger is slightly firmer (not just mush), I can get a drink with my meal and it's still half the price. One star purely because of the food quality. They should just stick to selling hotdogs only. You can't sell food like that for twice it's worth. read more

Not only is their food over priced, they can't cook a hotdog. It's burned on the out side and barley warm on the inside. Don't let you kids work there. Managment at Meadow Drive location engage in childish retribution toward their part time employees. The make false accusation and harass employees when not on duty. Parent, don't let your kids work their! read more

Not the best Ted's, but not the worst. The onion rings and fries are always perfect. I like my dogs just singed, these guys sometimes leave them on the grill to long and get to ashy. I still eat here once in a while. read more

Went with Granny and Bro for dogs and fries. Dogs were sublime - charred and crispy on the outside and pink and juicy on the inside. Cheap - less than 20 for 2 footlongs, one regular dog, large fries and 3 medicum drinks. BUT -- the line moves sloooow. I f there are twenty people in front of you , you'll wait minimum of 30 mins. Tough at lunch hour. read more
