Ted’s Bulletin - Downtown Crown

Friends getting together

Our server had no personality nor paid any attention to our table.

Ate here for lunch as an office outing. The pretzel bits and fried cauliflower were delicious as starters and the crispy chicken sandwich did not disappoint as an entree. The Parmesan fries were overrated as they just shaved some Parmesan cheese on top and most of it fell off the fries and onto the plate. Service was quick. Waiter did mix up the sides ordered for a couple of the entrees but was quick to correct the mistake.

Our service was unequivocally terrible!

Our arrogant serve wrote nothing down for party of 8, which was included 3 children.

He forgot one adults entree.

He never brought the children’s menus (child 1 - 6 years old, child 2 - 4 years old and child 3 - 2 years old). I got up and got them and crayons from the hostess stand. After asking 3 times and waiting for over 30 minutes.

He forgot to bring the booster seat for the 2 year old. We had to ask 2-3 times.

He brought the French toast entree and the kids meals nearly 7-10 minutes before the other adult entrees.

He “forgot” and charger us for the complimentary birthday dessert.

He forgot that we asked for one of the milkshakes to come without whipped cream and a cherry

I don’t mind if a server chooses not to write down an order, but get it right it.

I was very disappointed, because this is not Ted’s I am accustomed to. I should have gone to Founding Farmers an exit away on 270.

Great crab cakes both as a sandwich or an entree. Both people who had them thought they were delicious and a great value. French Fries are the best. I had a Greek Salad with an impossible burger on it. Loved it and took half home for lunch tomorrow. Followed this restaurant from 14th St., NW to Gaithersburg. Love it and the change there menu to go with the times. Would totally recommend it.

A rough night all around. My wife ordered a glass of wine, almost 10 minutes later the server came back to let her know they were out of it. Pretzel appetizer was fine but nothing special. Ordered two salads, server suggested dressing on the side and yet both came with dressing on them. Salmon salad was so salty it was inedible. They brought another one out which was better but still just ok. No one thought to offer us a combo dessert or entree for the bad experience. Not the experience I’d expected from this type of restaurant.

I went to Ted's Bulletin with my friends for homecoming and it was outstanding. Every thing was amazing.

Reliably great. Always love Ted’s!

The food is little pricey. But their fried food was not very good. The chicken burger we ordered was drenched in oil. The fries were just warm. The restaurant is very nice but food is average.

Outstanding food and service

Food was terrible. The drinks were as good as the ones served at that frat party I went to in 1993. There is nothing I can recommend about this place.

I had the steak my steak was a little underdone for my taste but, it was delicious regardless. The hash brown were super crunchy and also delicious. We had milkshakes for dessert. I had the chocolate, peanut butter and banana; a sublime combination. Thick, creamy and plenty of it.

We had a pleasant experience. Ted’s bulletin is doing a promotion. When you buy and entree, you get a free milkshake. When we went, my friends had a great time.

Service was great
Enjoyed outdoor seating
Food was delicious
Disappointed by portion size of entree, left hungry after eating an entree and sharing the deviled eggs

Our main server was very pleasant and had very nice manners. But all of the servers were and MANAGERS were not attentive. We had to ask for everything from beginning to end, even dessert menu and carry out containers. We ordered dessert for the table and two carrot cakes to go. The to go slices of cake were half the size = SMALL while the one served at the table was normal size. For what we spent for five people, $260.00 it felt way overpriced! Also for managers to note: THERE WERE TWO FEMALE SERVERS MAKING OUT IN THE DINING ROOM RIGHT BESIDE OUR TABLE!! This was at 6:00pm in a family restaurant and was totally unacceptable behavior. The managers need to be retrained and be on the ball more. Not the first time we’ve had issues with poor management there.

Everything was really good except the fruit flies. It was pretty gross and tainted the whole dining experience.

It was a great setup for enjoying the outdoor weather

Food was good, just not exceptional. Our 2nd time eating there. May go back in the future. Desserts didn't seem fresh - carrot cake and chocolate cream mini pie

Always a great place for breakfast and treats. Do not sleep on the cinnamon buns.

This was a very nice place to eat. My family is always nervous when they go to a new place, but they definitely enjoyed it and the large portions meant they had leftovers.

The service and the food quality/portion size considering the price were all disappointing. After this experience, will likely only return to Ted’s for breakfast.

Overall it was ok, but I was expecting more. Dessert was the best part.

Very nice! Friendly atmosphere, good food, very nice milk shakes.

Server was distracted, not attentive, forgot items, and the gnocchi was closer to clumps of mashed potatoes than a proper gnocchi.

There was hair in our nachos and the server acted like he was doing us a favor by taking it off the check. Ummm yeah, obviously?! We didn’t even touch it nor did we want another order of it. No other remorse at all... Also, we all ordered entrees and then I asked for an additional kids menu Grilled Cheese to accompany my salad and was told I was not allowed to order from the kids menu. It’s not that I only ordered from the kids menu.... I ordered an $18 salad and since they give 3 pieces of lettuce, knew I wanted more. Thanks for literally nothing.

For our meeting, the food and service were excellent. Ted’s a great value for the quality. Can’t wait to return!

Food was great. Ladies Room was disgustingly dirty. Service was slow towards the end because of some staffing issues from what our waiter told us. Cost was high but food great!

The food was great!! The ambience on the inside and outside is nice. It feels more like an everyday dining place more than a dressed up fancy date night. Great place regardless.

Service was excellent, swordfish tasted fishy

Dinner was delightful for the most part. Pearl our waitstaff was very attentive and engaging. She gave good recommendations. The crab rangoon and deviled eggs were great sharing appetizers. Everyone enjoyed their entrees of pot roast, steak Pom frites, and grilled chicken . However, the grilled swordfish was on the salty side but was compensated by the cauliflower salad. Noise level was just right and we could hear each other without raising our voices. The pineapple ginger mimosa taste great but the price if $10 is too steep for the size of the pour.




not

Very nice atmosphere. Lunch food was exceptional.

We had a great time w/ our young daughter. The food and service were amazing; and one of the waiters gave our daughter a tart just because. We always have a wonderful experience when we come to Ted’s and will definitely come back again.

Meh. Food and decor nothing special. We were very disappointed that the cinnamon roll that was on the website was not in the menu. I wouldn’t eat here again. Better options at Crown.

I was there with a couple of friends. The server didn't seem to know the menu well enough. When ever we needed him we couldn't find him. He took 20 mins to bring our drinks, but he said he was waiting on the bartenders. Our food came out cold, which was disappointing. Overall experience was okay and I'm not sure I will go back to eat there again. Food was expensive. Not worth it.

Service was good and friendly and prompt. We both ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch. We didn't love the tomato soup. It was overly salty.

Food was great. I loved the duck wings!

We met there to chat and get caught up. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was very good for having good discussions. Thanks!

I think the concept is good, but both times I have been there have been disappointed in food. First time the burger was way overcooked and the cake frozen, and second time, they had changed the chocolate pie and it was horrid. My friend warned me it was hit or miss, both times were a miss for me.

Love going the Ted’s Bulletin. It’s a fun restaurant with great food and service.

Straiight forward comfort food. Nothing out of the ordinary--at least in what we ordered. Our server had problems keeping our order straight. We asked for additional syrup and gravy but did not receive it until we finally caught the eye of a manager and requested it from him. It came right away. We received juice we did not order and then were charged for it, even though we had declined the juice. He did not ask at the beginning if we wanted separate checks so we had to request the bill be split when he took it back to remove the juice. When he left the bills (one of us was paying by cash), he took the credit card one but never came back for the cash. Another server took the cash but brought it back stating he couldn't find the server. The original cash did not contain the tip so we wondered if that was why he brought it back???? Either way, not good service.
