Food is always so good and hits the spot. Only reason it's not 5 stars is $$. It feels SO expensive to me especially for knowing how much a hot dog probably actually costs. I understand it's a business that needs to make a profit but feels crazy.

Two grilled dogs, hand cut onion rings. Orange Dream shake.

First time here as I was driving through. The grill man behind the counter was be friendly and hospitable. He explained the menu and process. I did not use the kiosk to order but told the cashier. After you order they give you beeper/buzzer when you order is up. Very quick! I had two grilled dogs with the works, hand cut onion rings and an orange dream shake. There is lots of space to eat. This place is iconic with the pictures on the wall showing its history. Bring back the 10 cent hot do

footlong and fries

Ted's is a Buffalo staple. It's the best place to go in the winter when you can't grill your own hot dog and the best place in the summer when you don't want to do the work. There is no other place that is gonna grill up a good quality footlong like Ted's. I can always count on them for fast, quick, service and even though some people think it's not the fanciest food, a great tasting meal. The line always moves fast here and the staff is always super friendly. It makes me feel like I'm back in a small town diner whenever I get my food and sit down. This location especially is top-notch. It is always clean and nicely laid out. Any time that I am craving something off the grill in the middle of winter, Ted's is the first place I think of.

Live laugh hot dogs! Very good food and awesome how you watch them char-grill your dogs in front of you. The employees offered to change their gloves when my sister mentioned her gluten allergy. Would definitely come here again.

A split, garlic aioli dipping sauce and a chocolate milkshake
Khristina S.

Ordered a split ( 1/2 fries, 1/2 onion rings), garlic aioli dipping sauce, and a chocolate milkshake. When I grabbed my tray to go from the counter to the table, my milkshake slid right off my tray and dropped to the floor! The staff was super sweet & remade my shake. I'll definitely be back! A fair amount of the dining room was blocked off, so the seating area is slim, but the weather is still nice enough to sit outside if wanted.

Ted's is a WNY staple. As much as they are known for their hotdogs, their burgers, milkshakes and French fries are all great. Some how the sahlens hotdog you get here tastes different than the same hot dog you could make at home. I think it's the grilling process. It's gotta be the charcoal. I will say I take pause when I pay $4.09 per hotdog!! The charcoal ain't that good lol. It is what it is though. Still a good place for picnic/cookout type food.

The hot dogs here were good - I liked how they cooked it in front of you. The service was very kind and the ambiance was cute! Just being from Chicago - these hot dogs did not ultimately compare. But otherwise good!

Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday around 11am. I haven't been to Ted's in at least a year, and not while COVID was taking place, so it was weird coming in here and seeing the caution tape not allowing people to sit down, and the queue line not being accessible. Where you order, there is a shield between you and the employee. You give your order, including the condiments and can't watch your food being cooked anymore. You pick up your food at a window to the right side of the cash register. I ordered a foot long and small fry. It was delicious. I really enjoy putting malt vinegar all over my Ted's fries. Also, in December, a good charbroiled hot dog hits the spot.

Solid hot dogs and gluten free buns for the asking. Pretty efficient. Mostly take out but dining area looks clean.

Best hotdogs you'll find this side of Europe. Reminded me of a Danish hot dog in Copenhagen. I'll definitely be back!

I stopped in here right after leaving the BUF airport. It's very close to the airport, being less…read morethan 2 miles away and right across the street from airport property. Getting there just after 1PM on a Monday there was a line inside, to the door to place orders... the wait afterwards was about 10 minutes. I love bologna sandwiches and I also really enjoy a nice beef on Weck, so I was happy they offered a mini beef sandwich, still on kummelweck, which I got along with their bologna sandwich with provolone, onions, and peppers on it. The bologna sandwich was flame grilled and tasted excellent! I added jalapeños to it for a little kick, as well as some mayo and that made the sandwich really tasty! I started with their split pea soup - It was really good! It had big chunks of smokey, flavorful ham in it and the texture was thick and the flavor was great! I also tried a side of their mustard potato salad and it was decent, but I think it had pimentos or pickles in it, which I don't prefer. Last up - That mini beef sandwich - AWESOME! The bun really added the excellent flavor you'd expect from having the meat on that type of roll. The beef was tender and so flavorful! They also have horseradish on the tables, so I added a bunch of it and that really made the flavor pop! Service was excellent and very friendly here. I'd highly recommend stopping in!

From the moment you walk in, you get that clean, nostalgic 60s vibe--simple, welcoming, and focused on what matters: great food. The counter service is quick and friendly, and you can actually watch them slice the beef fresh right in front of you. I ordered the famous beef on weck, and it did NOT disappoint. The hand carved beef was tender, juicy, and piled high on a perfectly salted kummelweck roll. Add a little horseradish and au jus, and it's easily one of the best sandwiches in the area. The crispy waffle fries were the perfect side--golden, crunchy, and seasoned just right. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Between the quality of the food, the spotless dining area, and the old-school charm, this place absolutely earns five stars. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Even Yelp asked me: "Did you like Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen? Your thoughts help others decide."…read moreNot sure Popeyes needs any recommendations. When you Google the "best fried chicken sandwich", this place pops up frequently. Everyone has to decide for themself. To eat or not to eat at fast food chain restaurants, that is the question. I can answer only for myself. My second experience with Popeyes ended almost fully satisfied. Ordering the wrong sandwich, by mistake, left me wanting to come back again. I heard that spicy chicken is the way to go, but I'm not sure anymore, is it really? My Classic Chicken Sandwich was squished, wrinkled and not exactly picture perfect, but I enjoyed it anyway. The golden piece of chicken was crunchy, warm, moist with a pleasant enough flavor. I should have asked for extra pickles, though. To my surprise it was a bigger portion than I expected for $3.99. The fries were cold and floppy again. I love any type of potato. So I traded away some of my sandwich for my partner's Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy. Using the little spork made the whole experience even more quirky. It reminded me of airline food. I should mention something about this location which is truly badly designed. On a busy Sunday afternoon, it was a dangerous situation and very easy to be trapped in a drive thru line of cars or a blocked parking space. Traffic was stopped out to busy Union Road with only one way in and out. The drive thru lane was full, so people going into the restaurant would have to park or somehow turn around in a narrow space. With the prepaid app pickups, the few available parking spots were occupied plus larger vehicles were having big problems with backing out and leaving. It created unnecessary stress and chaos. So, if you see a line of cars sticking out into Union Rd, and you choose the pick up option, I'd rather park at Pets Adoption Center next door. My food was ready fast and on time. Everyone was busy preparing orders. I was in and out with no problems and with an extra smile from the person who took care of me. We escaped with a three-point turn, but it was an unpleasant and tricky situation.

I should've known there was a problem when I pulled up and they didn't have handicap parking…read moreoutside the main entrance. I walk up to the door that faces the parking lot and it's locked. It's 1130 in the morning, and the sign says it opens at 10:30. There's no sign saying the store is not open or whatever. So I walk around the corner and go in the other door. I ordered a two piece meal with unsweetened iced tea. They don't have unsweetened iced tea. I pointed to the sign the menu board it says unsweetened diced tea. She says well we don't sell enough of it so we don't make it. So she brings up my order and while we're talking about it, I slipped my credit card in, I'm not really paying attention. I looked down and it's not doing anything so I take my card out. I take my food. I don't take the cup cause I don't want anything but iced tea, and she has up don't you want your cup. Well no, I don't want my cup if there's no unsweetened iced tea. Then she calls it all your car didn't go through. So I walked back and put my card in, and apparently the card readers is not working, or it's not connected right to the cash register or whatever. So I did put my card in. It just didn't read it. So she moved it to the other register and finishes the order. I asked for a honey and butter for my biscuits and they don't have butter, but they gave me the honey. Chicken was great. As far as the sides, the red beans and rice were terrible. I mean, I've been eating at Popeyes for years, and usually it's a bunch of beans with some rice in the metal. This time there was so much rice and so little beans I was like eating dry rice with barely any flavoring. The service is terrible, the attitude is terrible, the food's OK, but there are other Popeyes in the area. I think I'll try a different one next time.

Today was my first time enjoying Anderson's Roast Beef & Frozen Custard. Probably the best roast…read morebeef on weck that I've had to date (better than Bar Bill, if you ask me). The roast beef was fresh, full of flavor, the horseradish added the right amount of zest, the au jus was breaming with flavorful drippings, and the Cajun fries were so hot that they burned (that's how I love it ). A nice young lady took the time to assist me at the front counter, promptly. She was aware that it was my first time in the restaurant and guided me with a generous and gentle attitude. She told me what "most people" like and how most dress their roast beef sandwich. She made the ordering process easy and helped narrow my focus considering I was running on fumes and getting "hangry". The restaurant was clean, inside and out (even the restrooms were tidy). There were a variety of fountain drinks to choose from and the selections were unique compared to other competitors. Originally, was headed for the Taco Bell next door, but I'm sure glad my stomach and nose led me to Anderson's. Next time, I'm trying the custard and getting an extra roast beef to take home. A little pricy but I'll always be more frivolous when I'm getting quality food. Thank you, Anderson's!

If you like her, have never been here before, think retro diner meets modern layout. They serve the classics here. Burgers, chicken, salads, sandwiches, and even hot dogs. They also have an ice cream parlor with so many offerings that you can get dinner and dessert all at once. There is a nostalgic spot back in our hometown just like Anderson's and that's what it reminds us of when we were there. The service is great here. They make everything fresh and quickly. We got our food to go and it was still hot when we got home. The grilled chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy and the toppings were fresh so it gave a good crunch from the lettuce and tomato. The salad was so large and filling and you can never go wrong with their fries. We also got a small vanilla soft serve for our son and he loved it. It was a very good soft serve with a great flavor and thickness. Whenever you're looking for something for everyone in the family, Anderson's is the way to go. We will definitely be back!
