Amazing hot dog, staff played a lot which slowed the line but the food was spot on. If you are in the Buffalo area try them out.

The food was terrific as usual!! I had an all beef hotdog. I also enjoyed my drink and got a free refill too.

I really like Ted's for their delicious hot dogs and fries. They prepare your meal in front of you which I appreciate. The interior is also a large space that's great to hang out with friends. I did have to knock off a star because they are pretty slow. I also picked up an online order today and their online pick up is also where you check out which is kind of frustrating because you have to basically cut the whole line waiting to check out. I wish they had a different area for online pick up so you don't feel super rude cutting the whole line. I would just stand in line next time since that's pretty much what I had to do anyway which cuts out the convenience of online ordering. Theres also an online ordering "progress" website which tells you when your order is ready but they don't update that either. If they fix the online process I could easily give them 5 stars! read more

Ted's Hot Dogs - All Beef Dog Regular Fry - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

We ordered our usual and my son said his milkshake tasted weird. I gave it a try and it did. It tasted terrible. I brought it to the counter and they didn't seem like they believed me. They made another and I asked them to try some first so I didn't have to be the one to test it. They refused and handed me the new shake. As I walked to get a straw, I heard them say it smells bad and someone had just cleaned the machine. Sure enough the shake tasted horrible again. As I was trying it they realized that whoever cleaned everything replaced vanilla syrup with apple cider vinegar. I wasn't mad. I'm just glad it wasn't bleach or something dangerous. read more

We were finishing up a meal at Cracker Barrel and discussing other interesting-looking nearby eateries, when, upon hearing us talk about Ted's Hot Dogs, the person at the table next to ours said that we absolutely had to stop by for a dog. Say no more. We drove on over and decided to share their Regular hot dog, and we got it topped with just jalapeños and mustard. It's a really terrific hot dog. It's cooked perfectly and boasts a really irresistible flavor from the grill. And the two toppings we chose complemented it perfectly. If I wasn't already so full, I probably would've gone right back to the counter and ordered another one. Thanks, random lady. You weren't wrong about Ted's. read more

Moved back from the West Coast recently and thought I would go to Ted's Saturday. Besides the hot dogs being burnt, they screwed up my order. When I came back in and told them they had given me the wrong item, I got this deer in the headlight response. I just left, won't be back. What happened to all the other hot dog places in the Buffalo area that offers the same kind of hot dogs? You know, Pat's Scime's, Louies? I guess this is what happens when you are the only place in town. read more

The food is always good. While we were waiting in line though a woman ahead of us was handed a very overloaded tray. Her milkshake fell off and splashed everywhere before she was able to even take a step away from the counter . Quite a few of us were splattered with vanilla shake. They let her try to clean it up herself with napkins. No apologies to her or any of us that were wearing it and they didn't even offer to replace it. She was embarrassed and everyone felt so bad for her. The people in front of us bought her a new one before we were able to. They didn't send someone to finish the cleaning up until she had left the line. read more

I had a terrible experience at Ted's on Sheridan Drive in the Town of Tonawanda. I ordered hotdogs and a drink. The condiments were put on the hotdogs along with a drink,They were sitting on the counter that and the cashier was too busy to take my money and I stood there for a couple minutes while he was packaging up onion rings for somebody that was three people behind me as I stood there and waited. My food got cold as I waited and I was eating in the restaurant. This is terrible Customer Service. read more

Amazing hot dog ! We found this restaurant through internet search. Hot dogs are one of my favorites American food items. Saw that Ted's is a must try when visiting Buffalo. I had the standard size hot dogs, and it was delicious. Even though it was a small hot dog it was packed with flavor. The service was quick. I would highly recommend coming here if you like hot dogs. read more

I used to work at Ted's in 1983 down on Porter -the one that's gone. We had food safety standards even then. I visited the Sheridan location and it was not clean and the hotdogs were not held at sanitary temperatures. I know because I used to do it. Still the taste is there. read more

You can't visit Buffalo and not get a Salen's hotdog. And Ted's is the place to go. Never a bad meal there. Pricing has gotten nuts. But it's sign of the times. I remember when they were .99 Not anymore. lol. But I'll always go have a meal when in town. Can't beat the taste and flavor. read more

finding out about this place has been an absolute pleasure. the workers are amazing, very kind, and the food is amazing!!!! the setting gives old school which is so amazing to experience given the fact everything is so modern nowadays. this place is simply just amazing and i highly highly recommend if you want a quick bite of something so delicious. read more

On a recent trip we found ourselves outside of Buffalo. Since SO had lived out in Buffalo for colleged we decided to take a trip down memory lane for a char grilled dog. A popular place had a number of customers both before us and after. Menu has many options but being a dog place, we ordered dogs. He got a foot-long with chili, I ordered an all beef chili dog with cheese and onions. (Extra cost for cheese was $1.98) Also got an order of rings to share. Was it good? All I can say is, it's a hot dog. Rings? Rings were crispy but seemed to have a lot of batter. If dogs aren't your thing, have a burger. Everything gets cooked over glowing coal briquettes. So we went for the nostalgia and found just that. Both inside and out, it seems to need a little updating. Staff are quick to take orders (and actually give you what you ordered) and give you your order asap. Sufficient parking even with a crowd. Enjoy your char grilled dog without firing up the grill. read more

Ted's Hot Dogs - Chili cheese dog w/onions. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

I'm truly unclear why every time I visit this location there is an hour wait time for hot dogs with 65 people in line and only 3-4 people working. They also do not allow you to pay and move on until the person in front of you has their entire order completed and off the grill even if yours is completed and sitting there. read more

This is a huge place in side. Ample amount of seats. Service was fast and courageous. Food hit our junk food craving. Everything came out fresh and is cooked to order. I was super excited about the cheese fries, but should have expected its highly processed salty cheese. I think next time I will skip the cheese. read more

Fast and great service , have been coming here for years. Best Hots around and milkshakes are the best.

SO and I were in Buffalo for a few days and stopped in for a quick lunch. Love the meticulous manager and attentive workers here making sure the orders were complete. We shared a fish and chips basket with a nice portion of tarter and side of coleslaw, a hot dog with onions, relish and mustard, and a coke. Bottom line, the service was fast and the food was tasty! read more

Love this place! Usually just do take out but has ample indoor and outdoor seating. Food is hot and cooked well every time. Hot dog, burger, and chicken sandwich are all great. It can be a little chaotic in there but nothing out of the ordinary for somewhere putting out a lot of 'fast' food. Staff are friendly, a simple grilled food place- using real charcoal grills! read more

Ted's Hot Dogs - Hot dog with chili and onions - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

While in the Buffalo area, our family chose Ted's for lunch based on recommendations from friends. It was National Hot Dog Day, so they were offering a limited menu. My 5 year old had his heart set on a cheeseburger, but that wasn't an option today. The hotdogs we tried were good and half off today for National Hotdog Day, however my husband didn't realize there was a 99 cent charge for chili per hotdog. I enjoy the hotdog I had with the dill pickle spear on it. The French fries were good, but not exactly worth almost $5 for a side portion. Even with half off hotdogs, our order of 4 hotdogs, one fry, and 2 drinks was almost $25. Not exactly a great value for what we received. read more

Second visit to a Ted's. This place has two separate lines going at once, both capable of making your food exactly like you want it. This is pretty novel and innovative in an industry well known for its regression, poor decision making, and general bumbling incompetence, so absolute kudos to the manager running this place. Food is good, but like so many places, it takes two burgers to equal a real size burger. Consider offering a triple or even quadruple burger to compensate. The eating area was mostly clean and comparable with other places. read more

The food is still excellent but the new ordering system stinks. It took far longer for customers to get their orders than the old system. Also, the new seats aren't good unless you're looking to simulate the feeling of sitting on a wooden pallet. read more

The service was great and the hotdogs were excellent. I love the hot sauce and always get extra, I always enjoy going to Teds whenever I'm in the mood for a charcoal grilled hotdog, there is not much more to add, I decided to stop in on my lunch break read more

This is the first time I've been to a Ted's since this whole pandemic nonsense began so I don't know if the way they're doing things is new or if this is the way they've been doing it the whole time BUT I LOVE IT. You go in and the counters are all blocked off but there's an employee taking orders on a tablet. Then you wait in line against the wall and the only time you approach the counter is when you pay and receive your food. This really minimizes how much contact each customer has with the counter area. Well done, Ted's. Well done. As for the food and customer service. it was awesome. As always. read more

While I've had some hit and miss experiences with Ted's, namely the random closing of a few different locations, the food is amazing 90% of the time. It's a staple of buffalo and a great atmosphere. Their burger is super underrated. read more

Ted's Hot Dogs - Hamburger, hot dog, French fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

We were visiting on vacation and we were told he had to have a Ted's hotdog. We found them to be pretty standard and nothing stood out about them. We both ordered a chili cheese dog with onions, and we decided to split a kraut dog. We also had an order of onion rings. The ordering process was fairly straightforward and the food was ready quickly. The flavor of the chili and cheese left a bit to be desired. There wasn't much chili on the dog and the cheese was like a nacho cheese. The hotdog itself was decent. The kraut was a bit lacking as well. It wasnt very acidic and didnt have much bite. The onion rings were unique and had a loose batter on them. The flavor was decent on the rings. Overall, we felt our visit was ok. The food was standard and you could tell it was a local favorite. The hotdogs were decent, but not as good as they were described to us. read more

I just love Ted's... the perfectly grilled hot dogs, creamy milkshakes, expertly seasoned fries - I love it all! This place is a Buffalo, NY classic and in my opinion, the food is consistent whenever you visit. My go to meal is a regular hotdog with Ted's Hot Sauce, a regular fry to split with my husband and a chocolate shake. I also like to get either the Chipotle Ranch Sauce or the new Ted's Burger Sauce to dip my fries into! Right now, based on COVID guidelines, there's no indoor eating, but they do have some outdoor picnic tables if you'd like to eat outside. Inside, the lines are mapped out to abide by the social distancing guidelines. They've also set up a text messaging system for your order so that you can wait outside while your food is cooking. Grilled food doesn't have to only be enjoyed in the summertime! Enjoy delicious grilled food from Ted's all year round! read more

This place is my comfort food default. Surprisingly decent vegetarian/vegan options (if you don't mind that they're cooked on the same grill as the other meat). I love their impossible burger since it gets a nice char, and their veggie dog is also really good other than being a bit small. Love that you can get a split order of fries and onion rings, too. Beware of their sauces if you're veg, though. The burger sauce has fish. read more

Always delicious! The foot longs are the main attraction for me! Nostalgia and loganberry!

Classic. Be prepared to wait in a long line! But it moves fast and is worth it. I Ted!

If you want amazing Foot Long hot dogs, hamburgers, Chicken Sandwiches, plus lots more, with any & as much toppings as you'd like ?? You must come to Ted's Hot Dogs. You can eat inside or take your food outside to one of the tables. Their fries & onion rings are very good as well. Their prices can be a little much, but everything is so good. They have many employees each doing a specific job, therefore the lines go pretty fast. Employees are nice & the bathroom i Every time I come here, I never have anything negative to say !! read more

Today is Ted's 91st anniversary. Hot dogs are being sold for 91 cents. We got here a little bit later than we planned and so are standing in a long line. The people on the grill are very efficient, but the line moves slowly. It's going to worth the wait. read more

Visiting Buffalo and tried Ted's. Friendly staff and great hot dogs! Definitely will be back.

Teds is one of my favorite lunch spots. They are known for their hot dogs but my go to is the chicken sandwich. Oh and get the chipotle ranch on the side because it goes great with everything. The Sheridan dr location is also my favorite. The lines are not usually crazy long because they have two lines going at all times. read more

Consistently good food and service. I have been going there since my childhood days and have never been disappointed. Ted's has the best charcoal broiled hot dogs and burgers in Western NY. Their onion rings are awesome and the fries are good too. They also serve Mineo & Sapio Italian Sausage sandwiches & char grilled chicken sandwiches. There is something for everyone. Everything is always fresh, hot & tasty. They have been in business for about 70 years and they are still going strong, so obviously they are doing something right!! read more

Customer appreciation day at Ted's. 91 years in business, so all day long hot dogs for 91 cents! How can you lose on that one. Of course, the lines are out the door, but everything moves smoothly. The hot dogs are wonderful, grilled on charcoal. One of my favorite places to go in Buffalo. read more
