    I havent been here for over 20 years.. I came here once because my friend said they have the best hot dog. Met up with my friend for 2nd run. I know this place have been here for a while and they are known for their "griled" hot dogs.. Ordered two foot long with everything that comes on "free" added. Little over $15 for two hot dogs, I don't know I felt like it was bit pricey. Over all hot dog was pretty good. I guess it's better than average hot dog but I don't know if it's worth the money or trip for me. Probably why I haven't been here over 20 years. Over all not bad.. I probably won't be coming back.

    The best hot dogs !!! Honestly... we drive from downtown Phoenix to Ted's often. Love everything! But I always just get the all beef. The chili sauce is the best!! My husband loves the corn dogs. A classic place. A must!!

    They've changed up the order process, and prices have gone up across the board but it's Ted's

    I have lived in Arizona for over 10 years and have known about Ted's and its long-standing history in Tempe and finally tried it. Other than the fact that it was pricier than I expected for a hot dog stand, wish I would've tried Ted's sooner. I love hot dogs - and I love this place and their grilled hot dogs!! I was surprised to learn that they have more than hot dogs - burgers, chicken sandwiches, ice cream, shakes, onion rings, etc. The onion rings were also a highlight. I enjoyed it so much that i came back the very next day! And even better- I learned that they are even opening a second location in Arizona in Gilbert!! Closer to me! So, maybe - I did learn about Ted's just in time...

    Holy YUM! Probably best chili cheese fries I've ever had. I literally dream about my next trip to Phoenix so I can go here lol. Hot dog was also sooo good! Their house made sauce they put on top was so flavorful but didnt take away from the hot dog itself. Staff was also very kind, it was our first time there so we were confused on how to order but they helped us. Very spacious but very quiet inside haha.

    Been driving by Ted's for years and finally decided to place an order a couple of days ago. It was so great to be able to order and quickly pick it up. It was late and the door was locked, but the staff opened up the door and gave me my order. I took a few bites before driving off and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of toppings and the real taste of chili and beef. Every bite was simple, but delicious! I love that they are right up the street. So, whenever the craving hits I will be there!

    Best hot dogs in Phoenix! The service is always quick, and everything's made fresh right in front of you. You order at the counter, and while they cook your hot dog, you can pick your sides from the toppings right in view. I love that you can ask for extra onions or pickles at no extra charge. It's a classic sit-down spot with a vintage feel, full of fun photos from the owner and quirky touches like a signed photo of an astronaut who wrote his love for Ted's Hot Dogs. The whole place has a nostalgic, hometown vibe, perfect for a quick, delicious stop.

    The hot dogs were very good! They are cooked over charcoal and have a very nice flavor. We got a good mix of toppings on the hot dogs. The chili was delicious. I personally did not love the cheese, I thought it was too salty, but my partner really liked it! The potato salad tasted very fresh. The fried pickles were so good. The service felt very homey and nice. It is cute inside, has a rustic and a bit of a throwback diner vibe inside. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Tempe!

    Veggie dog and hot dog
    Hannah C.

    3.5 stars. I had the veggie dog, so i think it'll be safe to say it's hard to be impressed there. My boyfriend, however had the all beef hot dog and topped it with onions, chili and cheese sauce. He has a similar rating of his hot dog. However, the onion rings were incredible and the Mac and cheese was pretty good. A fairly expensive meal for some hot dogs. Awesome spot, the service was quick and the decor felt simple and nostalgic. No need to go out of your way.

    I used to make it point to go to Ted's every time I was near Tempe. The long line especially on Fridays was part of the charm. You talked to people in line sharing what was good and when your time came you were greeted with a smile by the grill master and watch them grill your dog right in front of you choosing your toppings and drink. They recently changed to electronic buzzers when your food is ready, and staff behind the counter just goes about their day as if you aren't there, perhaps giving a false sense to how busy they really are because it seemed to take FOREVER to get my food and when I did, it was wadded up in aluminum foil with the wrong toppings and looked like it was stepped on. For close to $20, I'd expect more. Ended up only eating a few bites. Really disappointing to see such a landmark go down hill. Perfect example of trying to solve a problem that wasn't one and make things worse as a result.

The only reason for the 4 stars is all of our empty cups & plates remained on our table until after we left. We even ordered another order of garlic bread to take home after we were done eating, & the dishes remained on the table. I didn't take any pictures since we got the same food I've posted pictures of before.

I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw. Like I said I like this restaurant and never had problems but today felt like a fever dream there.

Be forewarned, this is more a togo place with no tables inside and we went late so fewer choices. They are opened really late which is a nice option for night owls and students. We ended up eating in the car. Mill used to have places to sit outside but we saw none anymore nearby. That is not great but you can stand at their counter and eat I suppose as long as you know ahead of time. The workers there were delightful!
