I've been to Ted's Fish Fry countless times in my life, but this is the first time that I've been to this location. Having said that, this location is as good as any. To begin, I ordered a fish fry, cheeseburger with fried onions, and loaded french fries. Knowing that, the cheeseburger was delicious. To explain, the beef was flavorful and fried onions were caramelized to perfection. Likewise, the loaded fries were very tasty. The fries were hot and crispy. In addition, they were topped with cheese and meat sauce which added great sapidity. In the same manner, the fish fry was absolutely phenomenal. To elaborate, the fish was crispy and seasoned on the outside and juicy on the inside. These fish fries are so good that you don't even need to put anything on them. Ted's simply has some of the best fish fries that I've ever had. At length, Ted's Fish Fry has top tier food and this location is no different. read more

Food is fresh, very tasty and generous portions. The service was very friendly and efficient too

I've been looking for a nearby fish fry place for a while now and Ted's has been expanding with its multiple locations in the past few years it seems. I've had the fish fry itself, the fish fry dinner, coleslaw, french fries, and buffalo wings. The fish fry served atop a hot dog bun was the winner in my book. I didn't really care for the fish fry dinner as it was shorter pieces of fish fry, a hot dog bun, cole slaw and some fries. The cole slaw wasn't something spectacular. It was quite watery and loosely held together. I prefer a creamier version. The fries were just fillers for me, also nothing special. Buffalo wings will give you some heat alongside celery and carrots with bleu cheese dip, but not the burst of flavor I was expecting and was more on the dry side. I'd get the fish fry again as it seemed to be nicely battered and seasoned. The tartar sauce is my go-to and I like it on the side. If that's not your thing the chili sauce or cocktail sauce is also an option. They even gave me a few packets of lemon juice too. read more

Ted's Fish Fry - a hot dog and fries - Burgers Near Me - Latham, New York

I've had lots of fried fish in my day, but never had or heard of a "fish fry" until I landed in Albany. After hearing about it, I decided to stop by Ted's to try it out since that seemed like the more famous place to go. When I walked in, the people behind they counter just stared at me. After walking in, I realized that I had entered through the exit door, so I'm assuming that's why they looked at me weird. I looked around and saw mainly older people there dining in. I decided to get a fish fry and mini crab cakes to go. I got tarter sauce and chili on the side and it also came with coleslaw. I decided to try the food once I got int he car so I could taste it while it was hot. The fish fry was served in a hot dog bun, which I thought was weird because the majority of it sat well outside of the bun. As far as the flavor of the fish, it was non-existent. I had to put the tarter sauce on the fish and once I ran out I used the coleslaw to give it flavor. The crab cakes were okay, but felt like they came out of a freezer. Having a fish fry was something that I'm glad I got to experience, but I'd be perfectly fine if I never had another one. Especially if Ted's is supposed to be the best of the best. read more

I'm so glad to be back in Albany for a Ted's Fish Fry, Albany tradition! The fish hanging out of the bun is the best part! Break it off and dip in the homemade tartar! Yummy and thanks for the perfectly cooked fish fry! Tasty and hit the spot! I'll be back read more

I'm starting to understand fish fry. And I am starting to develop a set of criteria. It's was pretty simple, after my visit to Ted's I have added a third criterion. #1 The fish fry sandwich itself #2 The clams and the new #3 The chili sauce Ted's has a dynamite fish fry sandwich. I thought I didn't like chili sauce on fish fry, but really I don't like Bob & Ron's chili sauce on fish fry. I do like Ted's. It changed my mind. That's big. Sadly, the clams at Ted's are sorely deficient. They were thin, and pretty tough with a very light breading. Also, Ted's fries were weak. Under-salted and boring. But fries don't count. Probably they should. Slaw should figure in big as well, but I figure I'll get to that in time. One time I tried drinking a chocolate shake with fish fry. It just wasn't happening for me. Maybe it's one of those things you have to grow up with. Fish and chocolate? I'll take a nice grease-cutting iced tea if you please. read more

Great place to go for some fast food that actually tastes good. The burgers with fried onions are one of the better things here even though they are known for their fish frys. The Hot Dogs with meat sauce are also surprisingly good. I wish the fish frys were a little smaller because I like to get a variety of things when I go, but that alone could fill me up. Cheese fries and onion rings are also good. I don't think you would be disappointed with anything on the menu actually. read more

Ted's Fish Fry - Burgers Near Me - Latham, New York

Having grown up in Western NY, a "Fish fry" meant a beer-battered piece of fish and not a small, breaded thing that is served in a hotdog bun. But, I have lived in the Capitol District for 12+ years and now understand what locals mean by "fish fry." That being said, this place isn't bad. The food isn't expensive (it is more expensive than a Fish sandwich from a fast food restaurant) but it is reasonable. The portions are large for fish and fries, though the coleslaw comes in a tiny cup. Service is decent. I enjoyed coming here, and if you want fish in a hotdog bun this place is fine. I have eaten at several other Ted's and they are all the same. Not great, but not bad. read more

You need to update your website. It states that you close at 7:45 on Sunday. But my husband was there before 7 and you were all locked up. Disappointing. Love your food though!! read more

Safe your money. This cost me 12$, really? There were a couple clams but way more onion rings. I would say it's over priced not worth your time, for 12$ somewhere else you can get a basket of clams and whole dinner read more

Ted's Fish Fry - Really? - Burgers Near Me - Latham, New York

What I ordered was 2 orders of oysters, no sauce, no bread. What I got was 2 orders of scallops (cheaper than oysters?) with bread! Didn't think I would have to check the order before I brought it home. Very disappointing bringing home the wrong dinners! read more

Always wonder what it would be like. Went there randomly and order the fish fry. It was quick service and the fish fry came out great. I liked it without the sauces. read more

I grabbed a quick bite at Teds on my way through town. This place seems pretty popular and gets a lot of good reviews, so I ignored the fact that the dining area was filthy and gave them a chance anyway. I have to say, I regret it. It took about 20min to get my order and when I finally did, my buffalo chicken tenders were dry and tough. The buffalo sauce was just sort of drizzled over them, and overall the meal wasnt very appetizing. I ended up just throwing it out. To each their own, but I for one will not be going there again. read more

The hidden gem here is the cheeseburgers. Seriously; they are good and all of the food is priced right. The mini crab cakes are also a compliment to any meal you order. The interior is small, but aside from college students and potheads no one eats there. It has a big take out following. read more

This was one of the few remaining places near the office that I hadn't been for lunch. Being one of the better-known names in local fish fry and needing to cross it off my list, it was time to give Ted's a try. The fish fry here falls somewhere between good and just okay. It's fried in a thin batter that doesn't take away from the flavor of the fish, which itself is light and super flaky, but was way too bland for my liking. I should have asked for a lemon wedge, as a squirt of lemon would have given it a little zing and a nice pop of freshness. One thing to keep in mind is that unless you like your seafood drenched in tartar/cocktail sauce, ask for it on the side. I got sauce directly on my fish and ended up spooning off more than half of it. Both the fries and coleslaw, which come with the fish as part of the lunch special, were just kind of "meh". The fries were bland as can be; I'm not sure they were seasoned at all and I found myself dipping them into cocktail sauce to give them some flavor. The coleslaw didn't deliver much in the taste department either; it too lacked seasoning, was chopped very thin, and was a tad liquidy for me. A future visit isn't out of the question, but I'll skip the fish fry if I come back. Whatever I get next time, hopefully it packs a bigger punch than this meal did. read more

Ted's Fish Fry - Fish fry lunch - Burgers Near Me - Latham, New York

Bad. Not good. Underwhelming. We stopped for a quick bite on Wednesday. I can understand waiting in line as they do cook the food to order, but the staff was surly and not at all welcoming. The food was hot, but that is about the only compliment we could give. The fish fry had no taste. The chili sauce had no taste. The onion rings had no taste. I don't get it. Maybe this location is just different. We will not be spending money here again. read more

Tried for the first time today. Fried scallops were fresh and delicious. The fries were hot and very tasty. Prices were reasonable. I will definitely go back again! read more

Ted's is a fine fish fry joint. You don't come here in your Sunday best for filet mignon. Mostly because they don't serve filet mignon. It's a fish fry restaurant. But if you're in the mood for some classic fried fish on a roll with French fries, then you've come to the right place. read more

Such a gem. I love this place and think they do a great job at fish fry. The Fish Fry dinner is my go-to on the menu and I love it! The kitchen staff is always friendly and the older gentleman who checks people out is always so nice and professional. I recommend this place to anyone who mentions seafood anything. Food is inexpensive and consistently great. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you fancy fried foods. read more

I thought the fish itself was very good: crispy batter with tender, moist white fish inside. Otherwise the bun and tartar sauce I did not care for and didn't eat. The tartar sauce was more mayo-which I hate-than dill or lemon flavor so that was a real turnoff. The bun just seemed unnecessary and the slaw was ok. They do not carry Coca-Cola products nor Dr. Pepper so that was a disappointment. I will go back and try their fish tacos since the fish is really good. The day we were there the line backed up out the door as people of all ages, races, and socioeconomic levels lined up to get some fish fry. read more

You can get a fish fry combo for like 9 bucks and it's a big meal. My go to is the clam strip sandwich with fries. Always hot and fresh!!! I'll even splurge and get a milkshake. Good clean atmosphere, the staff are always friendly and a pleasure to order from. I wish I had a Ted's near me. read more

Yummy fish fries, clam rolls, cheese burgers, steak sandwiches, french fries & onion rings !!! Cooked fresh while you wait. Great prices too !!! read more

The fish was excellent, just like the other Ted's I've been to, so I can recommend this location if that's all you're looking for. Unfortunately, the milk shake I got was terrible. Even calling it a "milk shake" is generous since it tasted like one of those generic ice-milk blends that you get out of a machine. The fries were slightly undercooked as well. Will not be going back any time soon. read more

Have been going to Nantucket every summer wishing I could get seafood close by that would live up. While Ted's still has a ways to go compared to New England seafood, their fish fry's and tartar sauce are delicious. Actually needed 2, they were so good. Would have preferred the clam chowder to be a little thicker but was still tasty. Next time, I'll try the clam rolls and report back. Would be great if they could extend their menu and incorporate things like steamers and clams but glad that this place is in the area! read more

These fish fries are so good that you'll judge every one after on whether it tasted like a Ted's fish fry! I moved away from this area and I make it a point to stop here every time I come back to visit. Their homemade clam chowders are also great! read more

This is best place to sit down & have a FRESH fish sandwich...also love the cheesy fries!! If you are in the capital district, U must visit Teds Fish fry in Latham is great! I can live of this fish...sorry but that's all I ever eat when I go here the fish & fries. Prices are good too! read more

ok, ted's fish fry is the real deal. i'm very happy about the meals i've had here. most people wouldn't guess that fried fish sarnies go well with chocolate milk-shakes, but it is an impressively fantastic pairing. some thing about the base in the milk cutting the fry. personally - since i mix mustard for a living- i am a huge snob about sauces that are hot, so asking me to judge the chili just isn't fair. most people, and probably what ever you think is great chili is just mediocre to me. anyway, yay! i'm a fan. ted's fish fry is tres delish. read more

Had fried clams , fries and cole slaw. Not really impressed with anything As other reviewers have noted, the batter is thin but it doesn't help the clams. The clams and fries we generally under seasoned although I did like the crunch of the coleslaw. Customer service was good though and price was about average. read more

Love the fish fries here, the best fish fry anywhere. The chili sauce here is amazingly good, so delicious. Prices are reasonable and they have indoor seating and outdoor picnic tables. I've tried some other things on the menu and they are good as well. If you like chili on your Fish fry ask for extra because the chili is so good. read more

Came here for 4 years until I moved out of town and still come back when I visit. An establishment that has been around 50+ years has to be doing something right. Oh, and the cheese burgers are to die for! read more

Visiting Albany and back at Teds after 15 years. The best fish fry in the capital district!

Teds as always had great fish frys and fries and slaw. The only complaint I have is that they need to realize they may be warm in the back with the equipment but the dining room is freezing. And you can't enjoy a meal with a bulky winter jacket on. read more

I was brought up in a fish fry loving family and have been eating at Ted's in their various locations all my life. Their fish fries have gotten better & better over the years, and they are now the best by far of all other fish fry purveyors in the area (sorry, Bob & Ron's, but it's true). And now they also serve mini hot dogs with meat sauce that are far better than Hot Dog Charlie's and on a par with Gus's (in Watervliet). The only item I would advise against ordering at Ted's is the fried clams ----- they are strip clams and really nothing more than battered small pieces of clams. read more
