   I have been to Ted's Bulletin many times - it is a neighborhood favorite. Until today. The service was astoundingly bad. The waitperson took our drink order and vanished for a full 30 minutes. After we got our drinks and ordered lunch, the waitperson vanished for another 30 minutes. Finally another waitperson appeared and took our food order again- no explanation. I did not expect to wait about an hour to get started on food during lunch. There were only three other tables in the dining room and it was 1:15pm on a weekday! The food was fine and what we expected, but we should have at least been offered a cookie or something for our patience. To top it all off, as we were leaving I wanted to buy some pastries to take home. Though I made eye contact with THREE different staff as I waited by the case, nobody made a move to help for a very long 3 minutes. I was wondering if I was invisible or something. Ted's Bulletin slipped a few notches down today on our list of places to take friends from out of town. Has ownership changed or something?

   The cinnamon roll is the best thing and definitely something to split with 3+ people. All the food is amazing and excellent quick service.

   The food quality to price is ridiculous. Ordered the $24 Chicken Parmesian. The unsalted fettuccine was so over cooked, it was gelatinous. The tomato sauce had zero flavor. It's almost like they expected the melted mozzarella cheese on the chicken to be all the flavor this dish needed. It's hard to mess up pasta, but this place took it to the next level. Stick to breakfast at this place.

   We took our 16-year old boys to dinner and all had a wonderful time. Our server was friendly, smiling and helpful with recommendations. From starters to milkshakes to meatloaf, steak and cheese to Mexican street corn our whole family loved their meals. We shouldn’t have continued, but we ordered dessert. We’re still stuffed the next morning, but no one is complaining about the coconut cake, cherry cream pie or decadent, moist chocolate cake and amazing homemade pop tarts…maybe we should go back tonight - getting hungry typing this. Great server, excellent meals, nice upbeat music that wasn’t too loud - we could all hear each other talk. Will go back next time we’re in town!

   The place is increasingly dingy and the back dining room and restroom areas need a good scrub. It was a little depressing and frankly, gross back there. I don’t think the management is paying attention to what the customer sees back there. Didn’t make me hungry.

   The service was excellent. It was packed after the cherry blossom 10 miler, but Staff was on it. Very courteous, prompt service and the food was excellent.

   I was so set on ordering the 1/2 roasted chicken. When our server came back to take our order, she informed us that it was not prepared for the day. Had the pot roast instead. Was pretty good. The fried chicken on the Cobb was amazing. Corn bread portion could be larger.

    We had to wait a long time for someone to wait on us - even just to get water
