We travel here for 4 hours to enjoy the wonderful prime rib!!! Love Ted Nelson's! Don't miss this wonderful food and service.

Complimentary desert

Tonight had the opportunity to visit Ted Nelson's Steakhouse. It is recommended to call for reservations but we were able to get right in. The service was fantastic. The serving team made sure our drinks were always full and were very kind. We started our meal with the Prime Rib Crostini. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and the subtle hint from the bleu cheese just enhanced the flavor of the dish (and I don't like bleu cheese). For my entree I had the 8 oz sirloin dinner. It comes with soup or salad, yep I chose to do a salad, choice of potato and veggies. The steak is marinated in some sauce as when I was eating the steak I noticed a sweet taste. I couldn't put my finger on what the flavor was but it made the steak tender and delicious. Don't fill up on appetizers and dinner as the meal also comes with a complimentary dessert. The desert is a small little sponge cake but it is just the right amount of desert to calm your sweet tooth. Definitely stop in for some great steak and fantastic service

We called ahead to make reservations which got us seated immediately. The restaurant is squeaky clean. No smudges on the glass or cobwebs on the lights. Our hostess and waitstaff were super sweet ... and our drink order was taken. Which reminds me to say, we really appreciated the way all the staff worked together, having each other's backs. That made us feel as though we're important to them. We had already picked out the eggplant roll ups for our appetizer, so we ordered it too. And I'm so glad we did -- I'd like to eat those again soon. This was served with complimentary freshly baked bread, yummy. Our waitstaff took our meal order after our drinks were delivered (which were excellent). My gosh, our steaks were cooked to perfection. Our salads were fresh, my mashed potatoes were really homemade, and the vegetables alongside everything were amazing. Then surprise, we had a small complimentary serving of sponge cake and vanilla ice cream. It was just the right amount and such a delectable treat. We loved Ted's Steak House and will always come back when we are in town.

Simply delicious and excellent service. The wait staff were so friendly and helpful. We were in need of a solid meal before a big hike the next day and this was the perfect place for it in the area. The prime rib and chicken fried steak were both a wonderful size and perfect for satiating our appetite. The stuffed mushrooms were an excellent addition to our already heavy meal. No regrets!

Ribeye Dinner - Local steakhouse. A bit surprised as this was really solid and I enjoyed it. Plenty of food and reasonably priced too.

Just stayed one night in town and found this place close to our AirBnb. I saw it on multiple lists and recommended pages so figured let's give it a try. Definitely seemed like a local spot which I always love supporting vs a chain. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how much I loved it! I had lower expectations but overall, we really enjoyed our meals. Definitely good portion size for the price which doesn't st all, but it was hot and tasty too. Service was friendly even with it being a busy night and full tables. Inside vibes were fine but nothing special or anything to note. My steak wasn't the best or highest quality, but it was definitely tasty still. Also the fries were hand cut, hot and fresh. The veggies were fine but nothing to write home about. Not sure when or if I'll ever be in the area again, but I would recommend it if it's the type of food you're looking for!

House salad was fresh. Try the blue cheese vinaigrette. It's so yummy.

Just Outstanding! Emily was our server and was awesome in every way. We shared the 14oz Prime Rib and it did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection. Added a baked potato w veggies and a house salad. You gotta try this place!!

If you are in Montrose and looking for a good steak dinner, head here. No contest. We were on a weekend away and wanted a special dinner. Ted Nelson's did not disappoint. I opted for the marinated 8oz sirloin, medium. I like some pink. My husband had the prime rib. Both were done to perfection. The salad came out first. So many places have skimped on salads but this had carrot, cucumber, red onion, tomato and croutons over mixed greens. It was crisp and refreshing. The bread was a small, warm loaf of crusty bread served with butter. Delicious. Our dinners had mixed vegetables including broccoli, zucchini, peppers, onions and green beans. It was a hearty portion. We both got baked potato. I just have to have baked potato with a good steak. It came with butter and topped with cheese and scallions. The steak melted away with each bite. Mine had a marinade that complimented the meat so well. I tried some of my husband's prime rib and it was like butter! His was served with au jus and horseradish sauce. I snuck a taste of both and they were tasty. Ted himself was roaming about the restaurant, checking in with diners to make sure they were enjoying their experience. That is someone who put his name on something he is proud of and makes sure it continues to meet his standards. At the end of our meal we were too full to order dessert. They brought out a complimentary bite sized piece of chocolate cake. What a lovely evening!

The food was great but very small portions and very expensive. Service was okay. Ambiance is horrible, you may as well be sitting in a barn.

It's a solid location. For anyone trying it their first time, I would recommend any of their…read morebread-like plates; counting pancakes and waffles. Their homemade bread plates are DELICIOUS. I mean, we could not get enough. If you ever get a toast, make sure to ask for their fruity syrup. It's just WOW. Also, get their bacon - Starvin' Arvin's can make bacon right. Everything else is alright. We came in hungry and wanted a bit of everything. While we enjoyed their bread, pancakes and French toast, it seems like we ordered the weakest dishes in the joint. The chicken fried steak, hash browns and green chili omelet were okay. The steak and hash browns were lacking flavor on their own, so you really had to make it your own by adding seasoning or getting a touch of extra gravy. The green chili omelet has a lot going on. It's pack full of a variety of flavor, but when one component doesn't work, it's like the whole dish struggles because you can't pick it out of the dish. The place felt like an old-school diner which is something to appreciate. It has a nice parking lot around the location, and it's rowdy in the morning like you'd expect from a place like this.

Very weird experience here. First of all we were on a drive back from telluride on the day after my…read morebirthday. I let my boyfriend pick the restaurant not realizing they didn't sell alcohol. The waitress seated us at a huge corner table for just the 3 of us. After not even a minute of looking at the menu she asked us what we wanted, so I asked for a Bloody Mary. The waitress laughed in my face and said "yeah right, me too". So then I preceded to ask for a mimosa, thinking they didn't have tomato juice. She then let me know they didn't serve alcohol, so I said just waters fine. I still can't believe she laughed in my face, how rude! Then she comes back to ask us to move!!! Not only was that extremely inappropriate but it was my birthday . Then after we got up they didn't even direct us to which table they were moving us to. The table was still right next to the table beside it, is in touching our neighbors table. The guy sitting there even had his phone on our new table! Then after we order we realize my boyfriend had left his phone at the other table. When asking the new group sitting there if they had found it they said they turned it in. The staff didn't even think to ask if it ours even though they moved us from there. Then the waitress acts like she's doing us a favor by sending out a cinnamon roll. Well after we left we realize we didn't actually get a free cinnamon roll, there was only one brought out and my friend had ordered one as a side and never received it, meaning all 3 of us ended up eating the cinnamon roll that was supposed to be hers. Not only did the entire experience bum me out on my birthday, but I will definitely not be recommending this place or ever stopping back by. The ambiance inside was okay, and the food was good, but the service was atrocious.

So sad to update this review but after our recent experiences I feel it's necessary…read more A couple months ago when the weather was still nice me and my husband decided to sit on the patio. We ordered 2 grilled mother cluckers and bock bock fries (our go to). It was about 4pm and there were only a few people there (we were the only ones outside). After about 40 minutes waiting for our food I decided to go in to check on things. Our order was sitting on the counter. Their response was "sometimes the buzzer doesn't work from the table you're sitting at"..... ummmmm what? We ended up eating the cold chicken (and I mean cold, not luke warm) sandwiches because we were starving but asked them to remake the fries. Fast forward to a few weeks ago it was a Friday and me and a friend ordered some sandwiches and sat in the back half of the brewery . After about 25 minutes my buzzer went off. When I got up to the counter there was an order of fish and chips... they called the wrong buzzer. No biggie. Well another 20 minutes went by and nothing. People around us that ordered after us were getting their food. So I went back up to the counter and there on their service line were our chicken sandwiches. When I asked the employee about my order she went back and checked and came back and said "we just finished them up". I took the sandwiches back to the table and again they were COLD. Not to mention since the coleslaw was sitting on the bun they were completely soggy. Didn't take the sandwiches back because we had a baby with us that needed to go to bed. I'm not sure if it's a buzzer issue or what. But we aren't sure if / when we will be returning to Pomona, sadly.

First time here. We ordered the Philly sandwich and it did not disappoint. The meat was just right,…read morethe cheese was perfect and not overpowering. But the detail I liked the most is that the bread was perfectly toasted, and it had a nice, even butter flavor. It came with some waffle fries that went well with it. It was priced fairly. The environment is restaurant and bar, but during lunch time it was calm, and not too packed. Legit spot for lunch.
