Sometimes I come here just for the rootbeer. They have their own and it's so good, literally perfect for a rootbeer float. It's always clean here, everyone is friendly, and it's such a vibe! read more

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. read more

The manager on duty on 5/30 screamed and physically assaulted my son who put $5 in the video poker machine because apparently there was already money on it - unbeknownst to him.

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. read more

Ted's Frostop - I feel like I've been transported through time to the 1950's! - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

There were a total of 3 workers in the restaurant. One who hid in the back the entire time, one person cooking for entire place, and one absolute horrid lady working the register. They let my food sit on the counter for 45 minutes and did not call my name, which is what the procedure is supposed to be here. When I asked for a refund after an extreme wait, the lady at the register was so rude. I witnessed her being rude to several other customers who were in and out during my time there. So unprofessional and disappointing. Have never left a restaurant more irate than this. read more

One star cuz old skinny lady at counter needs to be fired. Made us and another couple wait 45 minutes for burgers that were overcooked. Never called our names either. Emailed owner and zero response. He doesn't care cuz place does good business. BEWARE! Then they expect a tip! read more

Everything on the menu is a perfect diner breakfast. Always choose the biscuit. You're welcome.

An old staple of New Orleans. Good and cheap eats. Burgers and fries are always a good pick.

I was really rooting for this place to not be destroyed, but it's really low on redeeming qualities. Wish someone else would take it over. Service is beyond slow, even when the place is practically empty. Eggs were stone cold, biscuits grilled in some old, terrible tasting oil making them inedible. It was gross. On the plus side, the AC works great! read more

Did not want my fountain drink. The soda machine was much in need of cleaning. The lemons were in consumable. The person at the register was not friendly or accomaditng. Would not return read more

This is a cute location but it is not the typical diner experience with table side service. I came in for breakfast; the eggs were tepid and the biscuits were pretty greasy. The bacon and coffee were great. An overall meh experience. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

So Ted's Frostop has been chugging along for several years since my last review and they seemed to have improved a lot of the challenges they were dealing with for so many years. The front of house service has improved for putting your order in but they really have gotten to maintaining consistently inconsistent hours and often just close early from what their posted hours are. They seem to have gotten more popular for their breakfast and still get a decent lunch crowd while they just close before dinner really even gets started. Their root beer mugs are now plastic instead of glass so at least they have mugs and the original recipe Frostop root beer back but it is so much better in a glass frosted mug than a plastic one. Their Loto Burger are up to where they need to be and are good now while their roast beef po boy is really a disappointment for the price and the one I was served had stale poboy bread so there are plenty of much better poboys for the price in the area. Speaking of prices those have REALLY gone up and the price of a meal combo here can get you a meal in a regular restaurant and many other fast food joints are not too far behind these days so really you can go to a full service restaurant for what you get here so that price inflation can't be good for business (with all the crazy property tax increases and COVID-19 requirements eating into profits the prices are likely to just keep going up to make it so fewer and fewer folks can even afford the city anymore). I hope they continue with their improvements and keep this place the classic place it should be but I have my fears about the direction prices are going and how anything (or most folks) will be able to ride out the inflation on so many things while at the same time so many folks are making less money or no money because of the COVID-19 situation.

Ted's Frostop - Root beer! Delicious! - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A group of us came in and ordered some sandwiches, fries and drinks. We have a large party so we are sitting at 2 tables. An employee came up to one of our tables and told us that we couldn't be sitting at the table if we were waiting for the restaurant down the street. No one ever said that we were waiting for that restaurant. We are though...BUT we still spent money here. Also, our food had not (and still has not as I write this) come out. There were no folks in line waiting for a seat, they weren't busy, why are y'all asking about us about occupying a table when we don't have our food yet??? So rude and unprofessional. Will NOT return (but I will admit that the fries are decent, shout-out to the cook NOT the woman who approached us). Being profiled by your own is CRAZY. Do better. read more

This is my first time eating at Ted's. I sit at a table and the bus guy told me you had to order at the Front counter top so I did. Larry the bus guy was really nice. I notice he was talking to me but there was a tree that stayed on the table my friend who is with me is a service so he just did a kayak and removed from our table and put it where I belong. I also noticed a lady at another table had to put up her own tree as well. The breakfast was really simple and basic nothing special. I'm willing to check out there bro this is my friend told me they have great burgers. I like the fact that it did have a true diner feel from the music and the decour. read more

This place is okay for what it is - a greasy burger joint with really cool old pinball machines. We visited after 1 on a weekday. We tried to order and were told that they were out of ALL sides, the daily special, and lettuce. So we ordered a hamburger, a chicken sandwich, and a shake. They were evidently also out of root beer at the soda fountain (which we found out when my nephew tried to get his drink.) The server acted like I was over the top for ordering a vanilla shake. The chicken sandwich was slightly burned, but I ate it because I was hungry. We were also told that your only hope for getting the daily special is to get there within the first 30 minutes of lunch (I was laughed at for even asking for the daily special after 1 pm). The tables and everything on the tables was sticky and not clean. If you want some diner food with a serious portion of attitude, this is your place. read more

Last month, I was running errands along Claiborne Ave and decided I deserved a Frostop breakfast. So I ordered and sat down, after a moment the counter person said that they had stopped serving breakfast...less than 30 minutes ago. So much confusion ensued since I thought they served breakfast whenever they were open and the answer was the used to and they would be doing so again soon...and they just gave me my breakfast. So all's well that ends well. My breakfast was like $3 and totally filling and tasty. Plus I got to hangout and watch an old guy relishing a frosty mug of root beer while playing a old school mechanical pinball machine with actual bells and other analog noises. Good times. read more

Wouldn't change a thing! I agree that this is more a place of nostalgia than anything, but the cheeseburger was exactly what I had hoped for, as were the crinkle cut fries.

Very casual, and a great place to bring kids after school, as seemed to be the norm when I was there around 4:00 PM. read more
