I walked to this restaurant and was a little confused about where to enter. There are apparently two entrances but one goes directly in and I thought it was just some side door. I was eating solo and was seated really quickly. It was a while before anyone came up to the table to start taking my order. I was going to go with a lower rating, but they redeemed themselves enough. I went pretty simple, a bacon cheeseburger and fries. I did opt for bison since I had never eaten it. My waitress, once she came to the table, was incredibly nice and did check in a few times - not overly so like some can do. I appreciated that. I did order the burger medium and it came out medium well to well, but I attribute that to bison cooking quicker and it really didn't matter to me anyway. Burger was good. Fries were good. I contemplated dessert, but the cookie they serve with the ice cream is oatmeal, but I was told they have a brownie and ice cream option. Sign me up! The waitress brought it out a little later, the brownie nice and warm. It was good. No complaints. This place is t great, but it is good and the food is less expensive than some of the options I had around here. I'd definitely go back if I am in the area again. I might even have to try to get some bison meat at home. read more

Great menu and totally satisfied my craving for a delicious burger. Many burgers to choose from and option of beef or bison & one side. I chose the 1977 AMERICA'S CUP (American, bacon, grilled onion, mushroom, fried egg) with a side order of grilled asparagus that were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Claire was very friendly and attentive to our needs. She kept our water glasses and drinks filled despite the large groups she also had to attend. Fairly noisy w the NCAA Championship being displayed on the screens. I would definitely come back to try the other items in the menu when back in town visiting! read more

Fantastic bison burger grilled medium rare w/ grilled onions, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Garnished with lettuce tomato, pickle & onion but I only added the tomato. Fresh cut French fries, iced tea & water, then there was pecan apple crisp w/ vanilla ice cream -- it was big enough for four to share! Service was great and the interior of a historic classic old restaurant with a bar was comfortable and enjoyable. read more

I've been there twice. Very limited for vegetarians. Food was fine. Service was excellent. Good experience for tourists.

Don't know why this place only has 3.3 stars!! The food was amazing, wonderful service, the cocktails were perfect and we were able to have our dogs on the back patio. Don't skip this place!!! read more

Ted's is normally our go to steakhouse while visiting from out of town and unfortunately, it will be my last visit. While my first experience was great, each visit since has gone downhill, and this most recent one was incredibly disappointing. We waited 30 minutes just to get drinks from the bar. Our server seemed overwhelmed, and it was clear the restaurant was struggling to keep up. Our kids were starving, and it took an hour and a half for our food to arrive. When it finally came, I ordered the ribeye, which was completely flavorless--definitely not what I expect from a place known for steaks. At the end of the meal, I brought up our concerns to the server. She apologized and offered 10% off the bill. We were charged, signed, and ready to leave after a 2.5-hour dinner. However, we noticed the discount hadn't been applied, so we stayed behind while the bill was corrected and reprinted. Days later, we noticed an unauthorized charge on our account--for the full amount of the bill. We've called the restaurant multiple times to speak with a manager, and no one has returned our calls. As someone with 15 years in the restaurant industry, I find it unacceptable that no one from management addressed our concerns at the table or has followed up since. We'll be disputing the charge with our credit card company. It's unfortunate, because Ted's used to be a great spot, but the service and accountability have gone severely downhill. If you're looking for a good steak and a smooth dining experience, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

Things were just wrong from the beginning. The restaurant itself is nice and a good ambiance but that's where it ended. I sat at the bar and asked the bartender if she wouldn't mind turning the tv to the NBA finals. She then came up 10 minutes later noticing I was watching it on my phone and finally turned the channel. I ordered a glass of wine then dinner a few minutes later. Asked to keep the menu for the wine list. After ordering she grabbed the menu and walked away. I ordered the filet medium with broccoli and asparagus. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The broccoli was one small piece and then an entire bunch so big it wasn't cooked all the way. When I ordered I asked for sautéed onions and mushrooms. I also asked for bbq sauce. Neither came when the main course was delivered. The steak was so well done I only ate half. The onions and mushrooms came out 10 minutes after the steak. Overall, this place is located in an ideal area, it's just too bad they can't get out of their own way. read more

Friendly service, generous portions. Nice patio in the back. Accommodating for allergies. Bison meatloaf was amazing.

Horrible service. Took over an hour for a baked potato. Almost seemed like they did it in purpose the way the staff was acting. It's called SERVICE industry guys. read more

what a waste of $43!! for the ribeye and burned broccoli. the $14 martini was okay but not great. I splurged and definitely regretted it. the waitress was sub par. they ran out of mashed potatoes. and gave one of the guests half a scoop. then the other guest who wanted mashed potatoes got burnt green beans. we sent them back and got nothing in return. I do not recommend this restaurant!! read more

Everything was so delicious and cooked to order. I got the Bison steak,, oh my God! Heaven on earth!! Our server was a professional. The menu and the portions are huge. The vibe was relaxing and felt so comfortable that we didn't want to leave. Please give it a try, casual dress or business casual is not a problem. read more

Several nights spent here having dinner and drinks. Fantastic martinis. I made the mistake of ordering an old fashioned. First one was not the one I ordered (they have their own version on the menu which was overly sweetened) but not horrible so I drank it. Ordered a second one and clarified that I wanted a traditional one. It came and was the single most disappointing drink I've ever had. Didn't drink it. Every night I was there my experiences went down in quality. Whether it was the drinks, then the food, then service, each visit was progressively more disappointing. The ambience was fine~ it's giving old-timey with a little cafeteria sprinkled on top. Overall I'm averaging my multiple experiences there with my rating. read more

Good onion rings! The rest of the food we got was also good, but the rings were the best! The service is excellent. read more

Outstanding service, food and drinks. Loved the Buffalo ribeye. The atmosphere was fantastic. Loved the old fashioned vibe. Can't wait to get back up there in those neck of the woods again. read more

Meh Nothing special. Steak was overcooked but still tasted good. Great staff and servers. read more

We were a group of five dining at Ted's Montana Grill and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. It took over an hour for our food to arrive, which would be understandable if the restaurant was packed -- but it wasn't. There were maybe five or six tables occupied in total. It was clear the staff was overwhelmed or understaffed. We saw new customers come in and stand around waiting, with no one greeting them for several minutes. Eventually, a server came out and explained she had been helping in the kitchen. That honestly made me wonder -- was my steak cooked by a chef, or by one of the servers? I ordered my steak medium rare, but what I got was at least medium, if not more. For a place that positions itself as a steakhouse, that kind of mistake is disappointing. All in all, the restaurant wasn't busy, yet service and execution were far below expectations. Sadly, we won't be coming back any more. read more

I have been receiving email ads for their new Smash Burger. It looks incredible. I have had Smash Burgers before and agree they are more juicy and tasty. Both my wife and I ordered it along with onion rings and fries. There are no words that can describe how terrible they were. First of all the food was cold. The meat was overcooked and the sides were simply bad. We were so disappointed. We expected a much more tasty meal. Shame on Ted's. It will be sometime before we ever go back. read more

When in Rome, I mean Montana, you must try Ted's Montana Grill, right? It was a rainy early September evening, we quickly were seated but it took a while to get service and our drink order. We were told they were short staffed. We were patient/ no problem. Our server was exceptionally friendly and helpful with suggestions. All four dinners were good. Two of us enjoyed the bison meatloaf which was rich and delicious and it came with so- so sides of mashed potatoes with gravy and buttered carrots. The bison was the highlight. The vibe is a true western old-timey feel. Lots of wood everywhere. Restrooms were located adjacent in the connecting hotel. It was a nice experience. read more

My bison steak tasted very tasty eight out of 10 dope restaurant cool place in town good place to get a feel for the town cause I will be going to college here soon.

Ted's Montana Grill - Bison Delmonico Ribeye (14 Oz) - American Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Nice steakhouse right in the middle of Bozeman on Main Street. Made reservations and walked right in and we're seated. Service was excellent, prices were a little high, as is everything now. I had the Bison Meatloaf, loved it! The rest of our party had Steak, Burgers and the salads. Nothing but positive reviews of their food. The ambiance inside was really cool, almost like a cabin feel. 4 stars instead of 5 is mainly due to price, otherwise highly recommend. read more

For the price, the food just was not it. The onion rings were extremely dry and the rest of the food for the most part flavorless. We expected so much more. read more

Ate lunch there today on a very busy Back to School week for MSU. Service was slower than it should be but employees were hustling the entire time. Food was fantastic! We will be back. read more

We've had several friends recommend Ted's and the food left a lot to be desired. We had a reservation and we were seated promptly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is excellent although it was extremely hard for us to hear each other at our own table. I do think they need to do something for more of a sound barrier it was very loud and the restaurant was not full. Our server was kind, helpful and diligent making sure we were taken care of. The food was a disappointment. My husband I and I each got a ribeye with sides. The steaks were cooked correct, unfortunately they lacked in flavor & they did not have a sear. My husband got the chipotle corn and onion rings for his sides. He liked the corn but the onion ring batter was too thick it made them mushy. I got the asparagus and mashed potatoes, the asparagus needed flavor (garlic or lemon or balsamic -something) & the potatoes were very lumpy with a lot of skin left in, they were flavored well. Overall for the cost we were disappointed and we will probably not return. We did hear another table say the burgers are the best thing they've had off the menu. read more

Loved this place for the past 15 years... until now. Last couple times I went, the food quantity and quality was terrible. They are no longer cooking using large size meats, and even the classic red rock chicken sandwich was sad. The chicken breast was dry and half the size of the bread it was on. There was not much in the way of sauce on there. The fries weren't even good somehow (dry and clearly not home made). The smash burger sadly was a regular burger, not much smash to it and it was also overcooked and dry. The wait staff was however, very nice, but unable to rectify the situation. It's sad to see this Bozeman staple hit the lows many other places in town have. Ted's used to be the most consistent restaurant in town. RIP. read more

Awesome, fun, cool atmosphere, good food, great service! We enjoyed burgers and a steak, fries were on point, beer was cold. All I could ask for. read more

I thought the service was amazing. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and attentive. The overall restaurant has a romantic atmosphere to it and it's perfect for a date night. We passed it on Valentine's Day and it was packed! However, I didn't absolutely love my food, though my partner did love his Bison steak. I ordered the Bison brisket with garlic mashed potatoes and buttered broccoli and out of everything my favorite were the mashed potatoes. The brisket just tasted bland, unfortunately. I also found the lemonade to be quite flavorful and refreshing, so highly recommend trying it! read more

We came up from Fontana Ca to vacation and stopped by Teds. Had to, same name lol great food and great service. Especially from Joe, we had our 13lbs Yorkie terrier with us and it had been raining the day before so we wanted to avoid trying to sit inside because our little doggy was with us. We wanted to sit outside in the patio. Did not want to impose special treatment. Joe insisted we sit inside with the others. We appreciated that. Thank you Joe!! read more

My husband and I went to Ted's and sat at the bar this past Monday night around 7:45 Ordered a couple martinis and a burger to split with a salad The food was pretty good but the service was horrible. The bartender I feel was a little inexperienced and was more interested in taking shots with his friends at the bar. We ordered our food before the other patrons at the bar but his friends/co worker who were sitting at the bar got their food WAY before us. He did say our burger will be out soon...while our first drinks remained empty without him actually coming over again. We got our burger and gave up on any more service. So we sat there trying to close out while him and another bartender/ maybe even a female manager made more complimentary shots for friends and some other people at the bar while we waited for someone to pay attention and close us out. Finally after seeing how frustrated we were getting he came over and I just gave him my card without even reviewing the bill because I was afraid it would be another 25 minutes before someone came over. I suggest for a nice establishment like this, Maybe hire employees who actually want to work read more

The atmosphere was nice and there were lights at most tables which gave it a "romantic" feeling. The service was good and the waitress checked in on us multiple times to ensure we were taken care of. The beef burger was good, but the bison New York strip was slightly bland. The price of the meal was unfortunately higher than the quality of food we received. read more

The service was excellent. However, it took more than an hour to get the food and overall experience was awful. I have eaten at many places and I definitely expected a lot more. A lot a lot more. The ambience was acceptable. It was par for the course given the location. Never again. read more

Well being the Independent day, we didn't have reservations we check in and waited for about 35 minutes. We sat at the bar and I got say that the service was great. The best dirty martini in town! Food & the service was superb!! A must if like Bison beef!!! read more

Ted's provides a steak-house atmosphere--comfortable, if slightly dark for our taste. Our waiter was on her second day on the job without a trainer, and she was very professional, courteous, and efficient. The menu was that of a good chop house, with several species of meat. Our ribeyes were properly prepared, hitting the mark for doness--medium-rare--precisely. Use caution when ordering appetizers--we ordered the onion rings, and the portion was enormous! That said, they were also well prepared. Their bartender knows how to make a martini...which is a surprisingly rare occurrence . Overall, this restaurant fulfills its promise; that of a solid, American steak house. Recommend, read more

Great service and food. I had the bison ribeye, one of the best. They have an outdoor patio that looked like a lot of fun. We sat near the bar with a window view to the street, pretty intimate setting. read more

The service was great but everything else was terrible. Food was bland and had nothing special about it. I got a grilled chicken sandwich and my partner got a burger, both were extremely bland and took a good while to come out. We both waited 40 minutes before receiving our meals and being able to eat. The best part of this meal was probably the onion rings and even then they weren't fully cooked. Don't recommend coming here unless you want to be disappointed. read more

This burger and steakhouse joint is perfect for your classic dishes or trying something new! My husband got a bison steak and I got a bison burger. I don't remember the name of mine but it was fire! It had jalapeño's along with a jam spread, I was feeling adventurous today and I'm so glad that I did! The mix of spicy and sweet was really good. My fries were cold so I was a little disappointed there, but the onion rings were good. The prices are on the higher end--granted most places are in the area compared to back home, but we would probably return if in the area again. read more

The food was just okay. I don't even remember what we ate it was that forgettable. I also didn't realize it was a chain restaurant of Ted turners til after we left. The service was the problem. There seemed to be so many staff but they weren't doing anything just talking to each other. They were talking about other staff badly in front of everyone. We always sit at the bar because there is usually better service. We are literally sitting right there as they ignored us not asking if we needed anything and just talking to each other. There is much better food in Bozeman and much better service. Don't bother going here for either. read more

We've flown into Bozeman several times but have never tried the famous Ted's restaurant. It was time to check it out! We stopped by for lunch and were immediately greeted. The host was very friendly and explained there were only two in the kitchen this day and there would be at least a 20 minute wait for a table. I don't know about you but these days, 20 minutes is not really a wait! We decided to get a glass of wine at the bar. The bartender was friendly and very busy. I don't think she stopped one time while we were there. After sipping on our wine, we decided to eat at the bar. We had our food within 10 minutes of ordering! Two ordered meatloaf sandwiches with kale salad,one ordered meatloaf sandwich with fries and onion rings. I had the balsamic blue steak salad with bison tenderloin. Two stated the meatloaf was delicious. Their kale salad was moist and not dry like kale they have had in the past. They were very please. The other didn't have any positive or negative to say about their sandwich, fries & onion rings. I enjoyed my salad. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The dressing mixed nicely with the other ingredients. The bison was cooked to order. The atmosphere was that of a typical Montana restaurant. A cross between western and elegant. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and and now can check this off our list! read more
