    Bison nachos
    Denise L.

    Very spacious restaurant in the midst of this outdoor shopping and dining area. Our table of 5 had some allergies and they were pretty attentive to it and even brought the chef out to see what items would be allergy free. I ordered the bison nachos as a starter and it was good but not a whole lot of bison. The huckleberry mule was pretty good, not too sweet. I went with the bison short ribs and they were good but would have hoped it was less saucy. The mashed potatoes were good, the roll was not. I love bread but it was not a very good roll. I appreciated you could order a different side than the ones on the menu and so instead of buttered carrots I went for the parmesan broccoli. Large chunks of broccoli but it wasn't too overcooked and complimented the carbs and meat well. Service was a little bit spotty.

    Burger was amazing!
    Ashlyn S.

    This has to be one of the best burgers I've ever had. It tasted so fresh. The service was great!! The waitress was so nice! The environment was really good also! We didn't have a wait for lunch. Everything came out in a timely manner! We drove an hour to eat here and were not disappointed!!

    Bison Nachos
    Evan D.

    I recently had the chance to experience Ted's Montana Grill in Waverly as a hosted guest, and this scratch-made kitchen delivers on flavor. Ted's is a smaller national chain with about 38 locations, but they focus on quality ingredients and an elevated take on American comfort food. Bison is the star of the show. I started with a tasting of several appetizers and complementary house pickles. While Ted's isn't a seafood spot, they still served up a solid St. Phillip's Island Crab Cake. It had minimal filler, which I appreciated, but I prefer a lumpier texture and a bigger portion. That said, this is a meat restaurant, so let them shine with their strengths. The Bison Nachos were dangerously good. They are gluten-free and absolutely smothered in cheese and bison meat. I had to pace myself because I knew more food was coming, but these could easily be a meal on their own. The Grilled Shrimp on Ciabatta was another great starter. The shrimp were plump and juicy, seasoned with Ted's proprietary blend, and served on garlic-toasted ciabatta with lemon compound butter. I normally do not like cauliflower, but the Cauliflower Fritters completely won me over. These cheesy, crispy bites were incredibly addicting. I kept going back for more. This dish is a chef's special, so it is not always on the menu, but if you see it, order it. Ted's is known for its bison burgers, so I had to try a couple. The Smash Burger is a limited-time chef's special available until March 16. It comes with American cheese, spicy pickles, and a scratch-made ranch onion dip. The flavor was spot on, but I prefer a little more caramelization and crispy edges on my smash burgers. I would still order it again. The Canyon Creek Burger takes things up a notch with cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeño, blackberry jam, and a fried egg. The combination of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors worked well together. The onion rings that came with it were some of the best I have had. Ted's excels in bison dishes, and the Bison Short Ribs were a standout. The bones slid out clean, and the meat was incredibly tender. It came with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and a house roll for the perfect comfort meal. The Bison Filet was another highlight. I ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. Bison has a richer, slightly sweeter taste than beef, and this filet was exceptionally tender. I paired it with carrots and asparagus, which balanced the richness nicely. I always save room for dessert, the Kahlua Fudge Brownie which was served hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream. I could have eaten five of these. No notes, just perfection. I was also told to try the Apple Pecan Crisp which was full of warm spiced fall flavors, with a buttery oat and pecan topping over tart Granny Smith apples. If you love cozy desserts, get this before it rotates off the menu for strawberry season. Ted's Montana Grill has something for everyone. They are great at accommodating allergies, so let your server know and they will work directly with the chef. They also offer mocktails and non-alcoholic beverages, which is a nice touch. Next time you are in Waverly, you will probably find me at Ted's.

    Newly fashioned, autumn spiced sour martini
    Leigh B.

    Husband and I went for dinner to celebrate our birthdays. Aidan was our server. He gave good recommendations to answer my questions. He was seated a few tables in a short time, so he was quite busy, but remained steady in his service. The restaurant filled pretty quickly, but we were comfortable at our table, and it did not feel chaotic. Everyone seems to work well in the space. We always like the half-sours they bring to the table. I ate almost all of them this time. I ordered the bison ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Husband ordered the beef ribeye with caesar salad and mashed potatoes. That first bite of the bison ribeye confirmed it was a good choice. I did try my husband's, but liked mine better. Husband ordered a Newly Fashioned drink, and I got the Autumn Spiced Sour Martini. It definitely tasted like autumn to me. For our birthday desserts, we got a brownie and a cookie of the day (Snickerdoodle). The brownie was the perfect amount of fudgieness (not even a word?) and was a good size. Husband enjoyed his cookie, too. This is a bit of a drive for us, but it is worth it!

    Had dinner here with friends and enjoyed everything. The ambiance and atmosphere clean and confortable, an attentive waitress and a menu full of choices for bison and other non meat selections. We all ordered various types of Bison burgers. Mine was on a lettuce as I didn't want a bun even though they had a gluten free bun. The burgers came out cooked to order and tasty. The fries however were soft and we had initially ordered them to be extra crispy. The onion rings crispy. No problem and we soon got a replacement of extra crispy fries. We all enjoyed our meal . There is outside seating available. Prices reasonable, food came out hot and plated nicely. We would return.

After scanning the menu, I decided on the OG Burger to keep it simple. I did take note that all items are sold separately if you want fries and drinks. The menu doesn't have a massive selection, which can be easier for me at times. Since I ordered the side of fries, I also grabbed the sauce bundle for a fry party! The sauces were ok, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The burger patties had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh onions on the burger. The cheese was melted and layered between the patties bringing it all together. To me, the fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred, but overall did enjoy the burger from here. Seating can be difficult depending on when you visit but we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals together with no issue.

    As a West Coast transplant now living in Charlotte, I have very specific standards when it comes to…read moreburgers. For me, the gold standard isn't fancy -- it's balance. Think that perfect meat-cheese-bread ratio you get at an In-N-Out: not too big, not too messy, not dripping everywhere, but still juicy and satisfying. A burger you can actually pick up and enjoy without resorting to a knife and fork like George Costanza. That's why I appreciate Ace No. 3. Their menu is refreshingly simple -- burgers, fries, shakes -- and that simplicity tells me they know exactly what they do well. Everything is made to order, and the consistency shows. The Ace burger is my go-to, and it delivers every time. The shoestring fries are excellent, and the sweet potato tots are another favorite. I've also treated myself to a milkshake here and there, and they're worth it. Fun bonus: they offer "boozy shakes" for adults, which adds a playful twist -- just note they have to be enjoyed on site. They also keep a short, rotating list of beers, which I appreciate. It's curated, not overwhelming. One thing I noticed recently -- and as a fellow marketer, I have to applaud this -- is their milkshake happy hour from 2-4 PM. That's a smart strategy to drive traffic during slower hours between lunch and dinner. Simple, effective, and well executed. A few practical notes: Parking can be a little tight because the lot behind the restaurant is small, but if you go during off-peak hours or order ahead for pickup, it's manageable. The Belmont neighborhood location is easy to get in and out of, and while it's not a high-traffic pedestrian area, that can actually work in your favor. Bottom line: As someone who grew up with West Coast burger culture, this is the closest I've found in Charlotte to that classic, satisfying bite -- even if it costs a bit more than In-N-Out. The quality and execution make it worth it. Get out there, eat well, be curious -- and follow me as I continue eating my way through Charlotte.
