About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for brunch

Ted’s Bulletin is a laid-back, classic American community restaurant, bakery and bar, serving craveable American cuisine in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Whether it’s family dinner, business lunch, or just a Ted’s Tart and coffee to-go, we’re as adaptable as your life is dynamic. Our breakfast menu is available all day because we believe that the most important meal of the day can be had morning, noon or night.

Ted’s Bulletin is a haven for comfort and celebrating the things we have in common: a hunger for good food at great value, a need for a place to be comfortable being ourselves, and a desire to connect with our community. At Ted’s Bulletin, everyone has a table, and every table has a story to tell.

We had the pot roast and mashed potatoes. The food and service were excellent. Each time I eat there, I’m seated by the kitchen. Just once I’d like a window seat. Noise is very loud near the kitchen.

The service was great and the food came out very quickly - but the food is just subpar (minus the poptarts which were excellent).

Hi Maddie, we are glad you enjoyed the Ted's Tarts and the service! Thank you so much for your review.

We dined at the restaurant last night in celebration of Mother’s Day. Regrettably, we were disappointed with the quality of the food, particularly with two dishes: the crab chowder and the parmesan chicken. The chowder was served lukewarm, and the chicken was quite tough, making it difficult to cut through. We sincerely hope that the quality of the food will improve moving forward.

We are disappointed to hear about your experience. I will share your feedback with my chef team. Please feel free to give us a call at (703) 848-7580 to discuss this further. Thank you for sharing.

Great meal. Fresh ingredients. Quick, efficient service. They were very conscientious about my food allergy. The manager came out to our table to confirm my allergy and ask questions before my meal was made. Would definitely eat here again!

I love Ted’s bulletin. Reserved for a quick breakfast on Easter. Very nice waitress Yanna and the food was good. A little noisy and warm for me today. I think the temperature outside is causing havoc on some restaurants inside ! But overall a nice meal
