    Ted's frosted is a cute and nostalgic. Reminds me of when my grandparents would take woolworths and you could sit at the counter or in the large booths. Line was Kong but move quickly. There's a parking lot along with street parking. Old Fashioned root beer floats yummy

    Busy nifty fifty style American restaurant serving breakfast and lunch with great milk shakes. Perfect for friends and family

    Anticipating a great Cheeseburger meal...

    Food was almost great. Burgers were very good - but mine was a little too pink for a hamburger. The place was just what we expected - except there was a serious lack of friendliness. We did not feel welcome and it was to such an extent that we would never go back. It's a shame. The burgers, fries, onion rings, vanilla shake (tasted like it had malt added-but wasn't requested) were all delicious! (Even my pink burger). The place desperately needs a friendlier staff.

    I feel like I've been transported through time to the 1950's!

    What a fun place! Ted's caught my eye yesterday when I was driving by and I knew I had to stop in. I'm so glad I did. Ted's Frostop opened in 1955 by Ted Sternberg when he returned home after the Korean War. It is a classic 50's drive-in. When you pull-in you feel like you've been transported back in time. If this isn't a national landmark - it should be. They offer a nice variety of food for breakfast and lunch. Burgers and Po' Boys are popular items. I strongly encourage you to get the Root beer Float. It is delicious! Service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. I can't wait for my next visit.

    Root Beer lovers, are you looking for an original American diner? This is it. Make sure you have the root beer, it is as good as they say! Angus Burger, Chicken Strip Basket, Roast Beef and lots of Root Beer. You won't be disappointed.

    Solid burger joint with great root beer. Big picture--it's a busy location so you may need to wait for a table inside, but on nice days you can sit outside.

    Stopped in the other day for breakfast and it brought back a lot of nostalgic memories. I can't believe Frostop is still standing amidst the pandemic. Service was outstanding. The cashier/host was professional, personable, attentive and made us feel at home. She even came from behind the counter to our table to hand me a replacement pepper shaker because she saw me struggling to get pepper out of the shaker we had. We ordered shrimp and grits and two orders of pancakes and bacon. Hats off to the chef, this short, middle-age, black lady hovering over the grill. The shrimp and grits were well-seasoned and hit the spot. The accompanying buttermilk biscuit was buttery and oh so fluffy and moist. I'm getting a breakfast biscuit next time! My family enjoyed their fluffy pancakes. I had a bite of the bacon and it was crispy and flavorful. The restaurant was clean and not too dated. We got there just in time because the breakfast crowd--service workers, first responders, retirees--started to pour in shortly after we ordered and the line had reached the door. We should be intentional about visiting regularly.

    Teds is one of our daily breakfast spots. The employees remember us and always treat us like family. I tried a turkey club (off the menu item) and it was yummy! The fries at Ted's are so dang good I find myself craving them over pancakes on some Sunday mornings.

    Root Beer Float
    Paul C.

    Discovered Ted's via the movie The Hit Man, decided to go. Food was great, big burgers, generous portions and our gal that took our order was spectacular! The Root beer float is a must!

    A legendary burger joints across from Tulane university that has incredible burgers and fries in the best, name steak root beer... Ted's Frostop which is incredible. Take you up a Lotta burger and fries and don't forget the root beer but you also can't go wrong with the milkshakes.!

    Wonderful diner served with an amazing smile once you walk in. The food was not dry at all and the fries were sooo CRISPY. The milkshake was one of the best ones I have had in a while. The environment is warm and welcoming and it feels like all are welcomed.

    Frosty homemade root beer....so delicious!!
    Reggie B.

    I turned the corner near where I'm staying this weekend in the historic Broadmoor neighborhood in New Orleans, and came upon Ted's Frosto. I absolutely love going to vintage diners and burger places, so I couldn't resist stopping. I am so glad that we did. I ordered the Double Lot-O Burger, fully dressed! OMG, very well prepared and absolutely delicious and the homemade root beer, which had a huge frothy head and wonderful flavor. I will stop in several more times before we leave town. On your next visit to New Orleans (aka NOLA), this is a MUST stop!!

    I never had such a mouthwatering burger in my life!…read more This 24-hour diner is the perfect spot to get a quick meal at low prices. Between my partner and I, we didn't spend more than $30 in this place. This place is super low-key; no expectations of dressing fancy one bit. It's the kind of spot that you'd go into after a long night of partying, ready to end the night with a juicy burger with crispy fries, topped with ice cold beverages. If you can squeeze in a moment to order from their grill, I promise you won't be disappointed!

This past week we visited and we could both tell right away things were different. The inside of the restaurant was filthy and I mean filthy. You could see the floor under the bar and in the kitchen hadn't been cleaned in months. The fryers hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Everything just looked dirty and like no effort is put into cleaning and maintenance. We decided to eat anyway which was a mistake. We love their burgers that are cooked and steamed old school. We both ordered one. My wife ordered hers with bacon, which they charge over 3 bucks for. We both ordered our burger dressed with all the fixings. When my wife's burger came out it had no bacon and no fixings. I told the waiter and he said he would handled it. He never did as he started doing other orders. My burger had no flavor and it looked like the person that made it didn't care , which goes along with the restaurant cleanness. One thing that really turned us off was the was other guest were treated by staff. The "cook" was completely pissed off and had a horrible attitude. A group came in looking for a table and there wasn't room. He yelled at them that there wasn't room. They stood in the entrance area for a few moments and then he yelled at them that they needed to get out of the restaurant and wait outside. He told them this isn't a restroom so don't wait in line. The attitude and distain in his voice was overwhelming. A few minutes later a couple came in and found 2 seats at the bar. They decided to order food to go and was talking to the waiter. One of the 2 people ordering was standing behind the empty bar seat while they ordered. The cook yelled at this person that they needed to sit down. Both customers were stunned. The waiter told the cook they were making an order to go and the cook could be heard muttering under his breath. This little guy was nothing but attitude and seemed extremely pissed off the there. Maybe instead of being the restaurant traffic cop and total smart ass he should concentrate on getting orders straight since ours was screwed up and never fixed. Whatever charm this place had is gone along with the any effort to keep it up to clean standards.

    Turtle Bay -- 4…read more Listen... this is MY spot. One of my favorite places and honestly one of the only places I'll sit down and eat in the French Quarter. I've been coming here for about 6 or 7 years now, and they are easily in my top three. The vibe? Dive bar, laid back, no fuss... but the FOOD? Don't sleep on it. Their menu is solid and I still haven't made it through everything yet. I've had the wings, which we actually got this visit but ate them so fast we didn't even get a picture. That should tell you enough right there. I've had the pizza, and my husband usually goes for a burger. Never any complaints. They've got plenty on tap and the drinks hit too. I love a good Electric Lemonade, but this time I kept it simple with an Angry Orchard. Now let's talk about what keeps me coming back... The steak. We got our old faithful, one of their signature steaks, the 10oz petite ribeye. This is exactly what made me fall in love with Turtle Bay in the first place. Normally it's around $13.95, comes with a twice stuffed potato and a slice of garlic bread. A DEAL. This time it was a little higher, but still under $15, which honestly is still more than fair with how prices are these days. And when I say it be hitting... it be hitting. Only reason this visit didn't get a full 5 stars? My steak was cooked a little over my liking. I usually go for medium, and this one leaned more done than I prefer. Not horrible, just not my usual perfection. But everything else? Still solid. The staff is always nice, always welcoming. I've never had a bad experience with them, and that matters. And I already know I'm coming back because I keep hearing the crawfish is FIRE. Yeah... I need to see that for myself. This is my happy place. Open 24/7, consistent, affordable, and just a real gem in the French Quarter. The Bay is Babe. Period.

The staff was a big rough around the edges. I inquired about their buffalo burger by asking if their buffalo sauce was traditional (buttery) or just hot (like Texas Pete). Our server/bartender proceeded to go off that it wasn't fancy, that this was a dive bar, and it's hot buffalo sauce, etc. All I asked for was clarification and trust me- I wasn't expecting something fancy by the look of the place. Again, it's a dive. I ordered the burger anyways. When asked what temp I said medium rare. The burger came out well done (pictured) but at that point I didn't even care and just ate it because I didn't want to deal with the attitude the staff had. Prices were reasonable. The rest of the table had mixed reviews about the food. The pork bbq sandwich my friend got (the sub looking photograph) was VERY good and probably best thing any of us ordered.

New Orleans version of a NY bodega is where I found one of the best and most adorable shrimp po'boys. You'll have to put these directions into your phone, because the location is in the depths of the neighborhood district. It's walkable to and from the popular Canal Street, just much quieter and secluded. You won't be able to park on this particular street, but near by areas would allow for street parking. This is in fact a grocery store with a hot food market setup in the back. I was pleasantly greeted immediately as I entered by a gentleman stocking, and a nice lady behind the register. I immediately darted to the back of the store and saw the setup, simple with a bit of updated technology. You can order and pay at a tablet style screen, and wait for the magic to be made on the other side. It took about 5 minutes and I got a text my order was ready, the same gentleman who was stocking called out my name from the back and handed me a 12 inch shrimp po'boy for 12.00. This sandwich was incredible, loaded with crispy fried shrimp and fresh lettuce. The bun was soft and very fresh, I added extra pickles for an acidic flavor breakup to the fried fish and dough. The flavors were on point, very seasoned and perfectly cooked shrimp. I was very impressed by the price and quality....not to mention customer service. Pro Tip: My van driver mentioned to me before dropping me off at the hotel, a lot of people walk Burbon Street and turn around when it becomes residential. But there is actually a ton of life and experiences to be had off the beaten path, both local and authentic.
