“ It's hot dogs, over a fire. It's as good as it gets, it's quick service and solid eating whenever you have time. Sometimes the line is super long, but it moves super fast. ”
“ Ted's is the best and always has been! Charcoal grilled dogs done right. Cute sit down restaurant with historical pics and great employees serving the good stuff ”
“ The food is absolutely amazing! The best thing is that you should come after the rush hour. If you plan it right, you won't have to wait in line! Their hotdogs are amazing but today I changed things up with a hamburger and onion! The onion rings are awesome. They're broken down onions fried to perfection And not oily at all. The restaurant itself is pretty old school, however, their food is not! It's all about the product in the price not the decor! ”
“ Arrived at 2:15 on a Sat afternoon, line was almost out the door. After 45 minutes we got the goods and it was worth the wait. It's hit or miss with the line but service was courteous as usual. Dogs, brats, burgers, chicken and even gluten free options, fries and onion rings, etc. Oh, and shakes too. Take away sauces and my favorite vinegar for the fries (IYKYK)! ”
“ We always love this place. It's really fun too watch your flame grilled to order. The menu has just enough items to have some thing for everyone. We love getting the hotdogs, burgers and grilled chicken sandwich. The lingonberry drink is definitely something unique out here in Arizona. Gotta have the fries ”
“ I've been eating here for decades and it's always on point. It's clean and the general manager is awesome. He's been working here since I was a kid! Please throw away those fork and knife burgers and gross hot dogs then come here for a professionally-grilled, home-style tasting burger or dog. Don't forget to try the Loganberry soda! ”
“ Damn! Been about 10 years since I have written a review for Ted's. I will keep this one short and sweet............. Still my favorite restaurant in the Phoenix area, and still the restaurant I would have my "last meal" at if I ever had to move out of Phoenix. I love it that much. The only reason I don't go as much is because its far away from my house in Surprise. Had to pick up my Mom from the airport last week, so I went here first for some dinner. I got an Italian, a regular dog, and some onion rings. As always, food was bomb! The Italian sausage has the best taste and texture of any sausage I have ever had. The onion rings are my favorite, and the regular dog is always tasty. A perfect meal! Can't wait to come back sooner than later! ”
“ I was looking for something to snack on late at night and saw Ted's Hot Dogs from my Yelp friend who lives in Phoenix, AZ. Joanna was patient, helpful, and very friendly. She said, "Ted's Hot Dogs has been an institution here for 80+ years. In NYC, for about a 100 years" All their hotdogs and sausages are charcoal grilled cooked to order. Regular Hot Dog (with the works of ketchup, mustard, relish, their hot sauce, and a pickle spear). Polish Dog (with the works of ketchup, mustard, relish, their hot sauce, and a pickle spear). Both were delicious and very good. I didn't see the add-ons until after I ordered. They also serve hamburgers, chicken, fries, onion rings, milkshakes, fountain drinks, etc. ”
“ Everyone loves a bargain, so when Ted's Hot Dogs offered a BOGOF promotion, I couldn't pass on the deal. Ted's Hot Dogs in Tempe pays homage to it's Buffalo, NY roots. Walk in and you're immediately greeted by a newsstand with both the Buffalo News and the Arizona Republic in case you want to catch up on the news of the day for either city. The walls are adorned with touches of Buffalo, such as a photo of Buffalo City Hall with the THD mascot directly in front. (Looks like a parade float.). I miss some other decor such as UB and Buff State pennants which were removed long ago. As you enter the restaurant, you're immediately hit with the aroma of toppings. "Onion" is not my favorite scent, but it comes with the territory. Thank goodness the grill is there to "balance" it. Back to the BOGOF ... the cashier seemed new and incorrectly charged me for an item I didn't order, then seemed to have difficulty figuring out how to use the register to make a correction. What I really wanted was a coney but, sadly, they aren't offered. The dining area isn't fancy, but serves its purpose. It was neat and clean with plenty of seating. You'll hear 80's and 90's music from "back in the day" to enjoy with your meal. The hot dogs were juicy and flavorful, though slightly cool, not hot. That said, their hot dogs are good enough to eat without toppings, so that says a lot. The buns were soft and fresh. Plus, keeping to their Buffalo roots, they serve a sweet and flavorful Loganberry drink which is a must on every visit. Just don't spill it. It's likely to stain clothing. If you're up for some yummy hot dogs and a bit of nostalgia, Ted's Hot Dogs is just the place. ”
