After seeing Star Wars The Force Awakens with a good friend in Times Square, she suggested burgers at Ted's. Being a huge burger fan, I heartily agreed.
I had the traditional bacon and cheddar cheese burger with steak fries. Good lord, that was amazing! Succulent beef perfectly cooked to order with fries to die for. The service was excellent and the food came pretty quickly. It took about a half hour to get a table, but they let us sit at the bar and gave us complimentary soft drinks while we waited. The crowd eased up considerably by the time our food arrived.
A really great experience and I'd head back anytime.
I recently had lunch at Ted's Montana Grill and overall it was forgettable. I had a bison burger and my sister had sliders and bison chili. Our food was okay, nothing particularly interesting and my fries were kind of limp and didn't help add to my meal. It's someplace that you can eat at in a pinch if you're hungry but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.
Ambience: The restaurant is spacious, nothing too fancy but suitable to the Midtown work crowd.
Food: We just had burgers and a side of chili which unfortunately didn't impress us much.
Value: A tad bit pricey like everything else in the area. Honestly, nearly every restaurant between Times Square and Rockefeller center is pretty much ho-hum and overpriced.
Service: Okay. Our waitress was attentive and prompt.
Location: Near Rockefeller Center.
It's not just a steak house, people! The sangria was to die for! (Or maybe I was too many in to tell the difference, but same thing, right?) The appetizers are also pretty great. Specifically, the Crab Cakes, Trout Dip, Southwest Corn, and Fresh-Cut Fries, mmm. I also really enjoyed the Ted's Filet. Unfortunately, the sliders and the salmon were overcooked at our table. (Some other tables in our large event party really enjoyed the sliders and salmon!) By the time we got to dessert, half our table was settling into food coma and crawling their way out the door. But I'm glad we stayed for the brownies and got cookies to go!
PS. I came for a catered, sit-down Yelp event.
Came in here with some co-workers for lunch the other day. We had heard that the burgers were delicious, so we wanted to check it out. We ordered right away and got a variation of burgers. I had the duo that contained two 3 oz burgers (one bison, one beef) and fries. It was decent, but very plain. For $16, I was hoping for a bit more.
The ambiance is nice. The place is pretty big and has a large bar off to the side. We had a few tables around us, but you never felt like you were on top of anyone else. Service was terrible. Our waitress took our order almost immediately, but we waited over 1 hr for our food to come. She never came over to give us a status update and our waters were filled infrequently. When the food finally came, we were ignored most of time again.
The burgers are good, but it's not worth the price tag or the bad service.
I had been here before for an event. I couldn't wait to return. I am sad to say my own visit was nothing like what I had expected.
We thought the price fix menu for plays was a great option. I didn't see any times online so I assumed it was available any time. We had to eat after our show due to an occasion we attended before. So we switched our reservation to 10:30 instead our initial 6pm reservation.
Upon arrival I asked if we still could do the price fix. The hostess was very friendly and said yes. She gave us the restaurant week menu. This menu is $3 more than their price fix menu and didn't have the crab cakes and steak on it that sounded good. I asked the waitress if we could do the price fix menu for before shows. She said during restaurant week they only run the restaurant week menu. So let me get this straight, they downgrade the menu and charge $3 more?! In my mind I thought that's poor business. I asked the waitress if they could honor the items on their regular price fix. She appeared annoyed. I said I don't eat much steak so maybe she can explain the steak options to me. In a snarky tone she barely described the items and was rushing us to order. She said her manager wouldn't honor their normal price fix and we had to order ASAP. We rushed to order so much so that my boyfriend felt guilty ordering a drink but I insisted he order.
To begin they bring out pickles. The pickles were good. I had a Caesar salad, it had a very light dressing with tasty croutons and some cheese. It was mediocre. The meat dish I ordered was chewy/grizzly at points, but mostly tender. Both our meats were a bit rare which we didn't order. The fries were just warm not hot. The highlight for me was the brownie dessert.
At this point I'm sad to say I'm not sure we'd return. The poor attitude, raised/revised menu for restaurant week and snarky waitress less left than a desirable taste in our mouth for our $130 bill. I'd like to think my first experience was more true to what they are, but I'm not sure we will return to ever find out.
Brought 13 people here for a work dinner and everyone was very pleased. The food is not necessarily the most interesting or flashy that you might have, but it's very tasty, served hot and fast and the service was top notch. Our server kept everyone in drinks, checked up on us often and made the terrific service seem effortless.
I had a salt and pepper trout which was very good, along with a salt crusted baked potato that was pretty exceptional.
The burgers received raves from those who had it. The bison and french fries were also rated well.
This is a pretty good place and you won't be disappointed!
Food: good to very good to ideal depending on how high marks you can give, what is to me, an awesome, a bit classy, burger joint. The first time I went to Ted's was about six years ago. Cap Grill and Ruth's are right next door and while I offered them, my client said, let's go to teds. It's delicious and half the price. I've been back a dozen times since. You're choices are buffalo or traditional burger or chicken. All are great. All are elk prepared. All are filling and probably not on weight watchers. Try the Cadillac. Ridiculous.
Service: every single time it has been Olin point. Polite attentive knowledgable clean. Unlikely you'll get any complaints here.
Atmosphere: pretty typical. Exposed wood, busy, a bit noisy, but not too bad I guess, clean, open.
Misc: they have a dry soap in the bathroom. It's weird. I kind of hate it, but I actually love it. If that makes sense. I'll be back. Hope you try it.
This was my second time at Ted's for lunch. Excellent, speedy service and mouth watering dishes. I decided to try one of the burgers this time around. My first visit I had the sirloin steak,hitch was very good.
If you are going for a burger, I highly recommend the Avalon Burger–Carmelized onions, bacon, Gruyere and may tag cheese. Very tasty combo.
No complaints from me, although I do think it's a bit pricey. Luckily both times I've gone, it's been on someone else's dime.
