Ted's is a dreamworld

Man, I can't begin to believe what that village idi-t said about Ted's, simply the best hotdog in the entire world. The lines will affirm that. REAL CHARCOAL Grilled. I can hear the ksssssss when the kids smash those thin skins open. What is better than those blackened skins? Watching your very own dog being grilled just until you say "when". Allowing for the exact amount of "whatever," in my case a "breath" of Weber's bright yellow horseradish mustard; for many, piles of picallili, onion, sour pickles, and more. And the fries: unpeeled, tasting exactly of their potatoes, forget the Heinz, try the vinegar. One order enough for two, fersure. Nothin' fancy, delivered in paper. Always hot, always fresh from the deep fry. You see 'em, start to finish. Best to drink an old fashioned root beer with dis stuff; hard to find it elsewhere.

I and all my friends left Buffalo in 1968 and, without exception, go to Ted's when we need a hotdog fix. (We use the 'visit Mom' excuse, but it's really Ted's.) (NYC? forgettabouit; boiled dreck; Nathan's (see July 4) is a sorry excuse. Chicago? Last grill place I knew about closed up. ( Gold Coast Dogs.) Boston? Nonexistent; see lobster sandwiches. Toronto? They drive down for Ted's. Atlanta? What? Food? Naaah, driving. Malls. Makeup.Facelifts. Peachtree,peachtree,peachtree.No wonder they lost the war. Florida? You can have it; I hear they have places that serve Ted's hotdogs, though.

Come to think about it,why wouldn't you call your puppy anything but Ted???

BTW, HOW COME you don't have the Sheridan Drive location here? I believe it supercedes the other locations (not to forget the Peace Bridge which, may have been Louie's; I'd have to ask Ma, but I do think so. )

• Pros: while I recommended the ambience, it's definitely High Laminate.
• Cons: it's not gourmet, just the best of class. VERY romantic for hotdog lovers. lolol

The best hot dogs and hamburgers EVER!

by jdnichols at Citysearch

LAPP is SMOKING SOMETHING!!!!! He obviously has never had a good hamburger or hot dog, because Ted's has the BEST!!! If you want a hamburger that you can actually taste the meat unlike a drive thru place, you will love a Ted's hamburger. I personally love the cheeseburgers, but as for the hot dogs, if you like a REAL hot dog cooked to perfection over a charcoal grill while you watch, you will not be able to find one better. Believe me, I have Iived all over the U.S. and they are the absolute BEST!! If you like the typical boiled, or roller type hot dog, then you probably wouldn't like a Ted's hot dog because they are definitely way too high class for you! If you think that paying a little over $2.00 is too much for a quality hot dog, then maybe you are shopping in the wrong location and should try the local gas station! For those others that can appreciate a excellent quality, affordable meal, then Ted's Jumbo Red Hots is the place for you!

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Not a thing

Thin hamburgers

by lapp at Citysearch

Ted's hamburgers are like tissue paper, they are so thin.

Quality of hot dogs is not as good as in previous years.

Prices are too high considering the poor qyuality.

• Pros: good hot sauce
• Cons: poor quality hamburgs, poor quality hot dogs, overpriced
