Service was slow and indifferent. Once it arrived the food was fine. We would have ordered dessert but didn’t want to suffer through another long wait

My wife and I were attending a show at the theatre down the block and wanted to grab a bite to eat before the show. This was a perfect location. The service and food was excellent. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and my wife a chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious. The only downside was there was no air conditioning and it was 88 degrees that evening. It made for a warm dinning room. But overall it was a pleasant experience. I don’t know if the air conditioner was broken or if they don’t have one, but id still return for a good meal.

We enjoyed breakfast at Ted's on our first morning in town, and it was memorable. So we decided a few days later to eat dinner there. My wife has had two Hamburgers worth remembering, one in Oregon and one in Colorado. Ted's is now the number one on that very elite list. I enjoyed their unique tater tots that will be remembered always. Thank you to our servers and their easey and comfortable dispositions.

Ted’s bulletin never ceases to please. It was a hectic day because it had been raining and they just opened up the outside to seat us. Our server was wonderful and kind, it’s just that the place got super busy and things were slower on the delivery than on the cooking. I’d still go back, of course!
