    Grease!!!!
    April C.

    I ordered breakfast to-go from Ted's Bulletin, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The potatoes were drenched in oil and overloaded with salt to the point they were inedible. The salmon was also extremely greasy and overly salty. The only item I somewhat enjoyed was the French toast, although it was slightly cold. This is not my usual Ted's Bulletin location, and based on this experience, I won't be returning. I spent good money on breakfast and ended up throwing most of it away because the potatoes and salmon were simply too salty to eat. Very disappointing overall.

    Visited Ted's for breakfast on a Saturday morning. I haven't been in years for breakfast. My partner was concerned about visiting this location as it lacks ambiance and quite frankly it's too small. But out of convenience we went. We were seated right away and ordered two latter with an extra shot and no foam. The two mugs came out filled with foam we both ordered the mark breakfast with the Ted tarts to go. Unfortunately our entrees came out with tart right on top ... which meant sprinkles everywhere. The hash browns weren't crispy and my eggs had quite a bit of what looked like oil. Overall it was a pretty disappointing visit. The other thing is the back room has an odor, my partner said that when I said we were going to this location and I thought "you're overreacting " ... was I wrong there is an odor in that back room.

    We went to this restaurant for desserts as we were headed to a weeknight show at the miracle theater. We were seated quickly at a cute little table by the window. We ordered strawberry shortcake, carrot, cake, coffee, and Keylime pie. Everything was delicious. The service was quick, friendly and helpful. Could you ask for more?

    Avocado Toast
    Tara S.

    Next-level avocado toast - minimal ingredients, thoughtfully composed for deftly balanced flavors. A dining hall with antique ceiling tiles, huge great lanterns, and architectural elements straight out of a noir film. Hot tea, served steeping in a teapot. Plus they have gluten-free toast which expands the gf offerings. As if that weren't enough, our server Bruno H. brought a complimentary baked sweet to us when he learned it was a special occasion. I definitely, most definitely recommend!

    Cinnamon Roll
    Caleb J.

    We went here for breakfast Valentine's Day weekend the morning after a concert and it was to die for! We've been to different Ted's locations a few times, but never when they had their cinnamon roll, so we had to try it. It literally was as big as my head and it was delicious! The rest of breakfast was phenomenal too. My wife got the pancake stack and I got the avocado toast to balance out the cinnamon roll lol. 10/10 recommend for a delicious breakfast on the weekend. It's nothing fancy, but the food tastes so good and the servers were on point!

    I was looking for a quick coffee fix in the late afternoon and TBH - that's something that is lacking on this block. That's when I thought maybe I would check to see if Ted's offered coffee to go. It never really dawned on me as an option since I've typically only come here to sit and eat a meal. To my delight, they do serve coffee to go and the counter. I ordered a latte which was delicious and the person helping me was SO nice - literally sunshine in a bottle. Will definitely keep this as a coffee option in the future now!

    Chicken & Biscuits
    Nohemy C.

    We got so lucky by getting seated at the window booth and Tiffany took the best care of us! It was hard to decide what to order as it was a busy Saturday at noon and we beat the brunch crowd. Pretty soon after ordering, the restaurant was packed and the average wait was 45 minutes. I decided to to bold and ordered the chicken and biscuits. Unlike the photos I saw on Yelp, they now give you two chicken biscuits and hash browns. I asked for the hot honey on the side but it was liquid instead of thick. It was delicious but not as spicy as I had expected. The biscuits were superb! So thick and flaky, freshly baked. I wish I had some jam on the side. The fried chicken was solid but thin so a little dry. My spouse had the burger and he said it was amazing. The fries are great but some were a little too salty. What was mind blowing and the reason we came in the first place were the Ted's Tarts. I absolutely love pop tarts from child hood but no longer eat them because I know better but these were the tarts of my adulthood dreams. We ordered one of each flavor because we were flying back to CA later that evening and also, why not? The fillings were rich and ultra flavorful. The pastry was flaky and delicate. Just WOW! Also, it is in a super cute neighborhood and it has a coffee/alcohol bar. I mean, come on!

    My family and my son's future in laws came here for brunch. The atmosphere was nostalgic and the service was fairly decent. The food was not too bad.

    I am a Ted's Bulletin believer. The only knock on my visit this time is I waited 20 mins for a seat despite having a reservation. Anyway, I almost always have TUBS for brunch. It's so good and I never finish it because it's pretty hefty. My friends had chicken caesar wrap and chicken biscuit. They liked their food too and also didn't finish due to heft. The service is always quick re: food and drink. And prices are always reasonable. We each had a fun drink and a meal for about 30 dollars each. It's always quiet enough to talk across the table but not funeral level silence. You can never beat Ted's.

    Mexican Street Salad
    Ann R.

    I would say the food here is that very typical American food that you know exactly what everything is going to taste like. Nothing particularly good, nothing particularly bad. My Mexican Street Corn salad was decent - slightly over dressed, very little steak, big portion. Service was great. Shoutout to our waitress Beauty! She was attentive and made my friend feel special on his birthday. Ambiance is definitely what you're paying for. It's a nice interior, typical of what you'd see in the city.

    This was my second time at a Ted's Bulletin, but my first time at the Capitol Hill location. Parking was easy and located on the street when I went. You pay through an app. We made a reservation for a party of 5 for an early dinner and were seated right on time. We were seated at a nice large booth, which worked great for our party. It can get a little noisy, but it was not horrible. When we were there the TVs were playing the old fashion Willy Wonka. I was in love! We all ordered our food. I did order the lobster bisque, but the waiter came back and informed me they did not have enough lobster to make that happen. It was ok. I took that as a sign that it was not meant to be. Our food came out piping hot. Everything was delicious. My friend ordered tater tots with their burger. There was just a smattering of tots. I felt the amount was not worth the charge. There could have been more. There were no complaints about any of the meals. The desserts... don't skip! Our waiter was amazing. He was hustling and knew the menu very well. Our drinks were always full. The "poptarts" are so good. At one point we were able to see an employee make them and put glaze on them. Yes, glaze, delicious glaze. There is a few flavors. I tried the traditional strawberry and the peach and blueberry. My favorite is a nice traditional strawberry. It has fantastic sweet flavor and the glaze tops it off! Ok, and the sprinkles, the perfect touch! Adorable.

    French onion burger
    Fran D.

    Came here for a burger after the Marine Corps Marathon. The staff was super friendly and agile. The vibe was super cool with the exposed kitchen. I ordered the French onion soup burger with gruyère cheese, red onions, french onion jus and house fries. When I tell you this hit the spot! I devoured every bite of this delicious burger. The flavors were incredible! The fries were crispy and salty. Just perfect! Can't wait to go back and try the chicken and waffles'

    Decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon around 1-ish. Of course, it was busy. This location is always busy, every time I stop by. Which is a good thing, I'm sure. Which is interesting to note, because the day I stopped by the service was truly abysmal. I was seated, only after I asked if the two unoccupied tables in the bar area were open, to which the hostess said yes and allowed me to sit, after she said there were no tables available. Upon sitting, I wasn't served water until more than 10 minutes after waiting around for a server to stop by. After receiving my meal, the meal was good. The pancake stack with chicken sausage, eggs and hash brown. The eggs had cheese, but i didn't ask for cheese. I ate them anyway. Other than that, I enjoyed the meal. The server never stopped by once I received my meal, only at the end to retrieve the plate, when I asked for the check and didn't receive it until after asking the manager I believe. All in all, for a place that is always busy (every time I've come) I would expect better service.

HAPPY HOUR: Monday All Day and Tuesday-Friday 5PM to 6:30 PM The beverage program is clearly the centerpiece of the concept. The cocktail list is extensive including drinks like Pisco Sour, Old Fashioned, Martinis, Sazerac, Champs-Élysées, and Lion's Tail alongside house originals. All signature cocktails are priced uniformly and the menu also includes beer, cider, wine by the glass, spirit-free cocktails, and boilermakers, while offering accessible options for different preferences. Overall, the menu reads like a neighborhood cocktail bar with chef-driven bar food: playful, nostalgic American comfort dishes paired with a serious and historically influenced cocktail program. The bartenders provide top notch service and offer great recommendations. My water glass is always full and they check in often!

Trouble Bird was the answer to my prayers on a recent trip, where I was looking to have high quality drinks and a laid-back NON-commercial vibe with my team. We liked it so much, we came twice in one week, and I was impressed at their ability to handle and be comfortable for a large group in a space that can feel intimate. The lighting is nice and moody, the menu available via QR code, and the WiFi free and listed with password for patrons to use. We had excellent service both times, by the two folks working each night for a groups of 6-8 each time. There was something for everyone from the nondrinkers to the beer enthusiasts, to cocktail aficionados like myself. There's an amazing happy hour deal, with discounts on drinks all Monday and reduced prices for a couple of hours on other weekdays; it almost felt criminal how generous the happy hour was when I've gotten used to paying $20 for a mediocre cocktail at other nearby establishments. And the cocktails here are really very good, probably the best in the area, except for their immediate next door neighbor. The group favorite cocktail was the Midori sour which was incredibly well balanced and refreshing, and the surprising crowd pleaser was the Hamilton Dry Float, which came in a creepy tiki mug presentation that we really loved. We had a couple of the bar bites - the spiced peanuts were well loved across the group but my person favorite food item was the blistered shishitos, which came with a great chipotle aioli. The bathrooms are extremely clean and overall this was a bar favorite for the group for our week of going out and socializing together. Overall this is a gem of a neighborhood hangout with really excellent cocktails and service! Will absolutely come here next time I'm in town!

My only note for improvement would be the timing of when the food is brought out to the table. Some people like to eat certain food items together and the pace was lagging in-between the food items dropped off to the table. Another area for improvement was the frequency in which the waiter checked our table, especially since we had bottomless mimosas. I feel we may not have been able to maximize on our mimosas due to the slow check-backs.

Tables are limited, so make sure to have a reservation. On the topic of food, I didn't see much on the menu I could eat, so just opted for a cocktail (ate at home). There were some side option, just nothing that really suited me. I ordered a beer and later a tequila sunrise. The cocktail was bright, beautiful, and delicious. It was such a great drink for the beautiful sunny day it was. Our server was Deja and she was wonderful. She was prompt and we saw her often, which was appreciated. The check is done via QR code which was very easy. We had a slight issue with our check not pulling up, but she quickly resolved. Again, the food doesn't really suit my preferences (heavy meat options), but I would definitely pop back for a drink.

I've been to most of the spots over there, and this time I just wasn't in the mood for Mi Vida, Limani, La Vie, or Pink Tiger. I even considered Milk & Honey but didn't want such a heavy meal before the play. Since I already enjoy the Makers Union location in Arlington near my office, I figured I'd give this one a try. One thing I love is that they offer happy hour every day--including Sundays! I started with the Spicy Pineapple Margarita , which was refreshing with just the right amount of heat. We shared the wings to kick things off, and they disappeared pretty quickly. For my entrée, I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and had a nice kick. My dad had the salmon, and my mom ordered the lamb chops from the happy hour menu. I was pleasantly surprised that the happy hour portion was still generous and even came with quinoa just like the full-size entrée. We all really enjoyed our meals! The only downside was the service. Our server was very kind, but unfortunately he wasn't very attentive and seemed to forget quite a few things. We had to ask for straws three separate times, and when I needed extra salad dressing, I eventually walked over to the kitchen to get it myself because he stopped at several other tables before heading in that direction. I didn't want my salad sitting there getting warm while I waited. ‍ Price-wise, it's comparable to the Arlington location, which I appreciate. The earlier "Power Hour" specials are an even better value than the regular happy hour prices. The restaurant isn't as massive as some of its Wharf neighbors, but it's still a comfortable space with a really nice bar area that's perfect for grabbing drinks or a casual meal. Overall, I'd definitely return before another show at Arena Stage. Great food, solid happy hour, and a convenient location. If the service becomes a little more consistent, this location could easily earn that fifth star.
