    We were finishing up a meal at Cracker Barrel and discussing other interesting-looking nearby eateries, when, upon hearing us talk about Ted's Hot Dogs, the person at the table next to ours said that we absolutely had to stop by for a dog. Say no more. We drove on over and decided to share their Regular hot dog, and we got it topped with just jalapeños and mustard. It's a really terrific hot dog. It's cooked perfectly and boasts a really irresistible flavor from the grill. And the two toppings we chose complemented it perfectly. If I wasn't already so full, I probably would've gone right back to the counter and ordered another one. Thanks, random lady. You weren't wrong about Ted's.

    Amazing hot dog ! We found this restaurant through internet search. Hot dogs are one of my favorites American food items. Saw that Ted's is a must try when visiting Buffalo. I had the standard size hot dogs, and it was delicious. Even though it was a small hot dog it was packed with flavor. The service was quick. I would highly recommend coming here if you like hot dogs.

    Love their food & service. Their logan shake is the best, dogs and fish chips! There is an old school vibe in their restaurant

    On a recent trip we found ourselves outside of Buffalo. Since SO had lived out in Buffalo for colleged we decided to take a trip down memory lane for a char grilled dog. A popular place had a number of customers both before us and after. Menu has many options but being a dog place, we ordered dogs. He got a foot-long with chili, I ordered an all beef chili dog with cheese and onions. (Extra cost for cheese was $1.98) Also got an order of rings to share. Was it good? All I can say is, it's a hot dog. Rings? Rings were crispy but seemed to have a lot of batter. If dogs aren't your thing, have a burger. Everything gets cooked over glowing coal briquettes. So we went for the nostalgia and found just that. Both inside and out, it seems to need a little updating. Staff are quick to take orders (and actually give you what you ordered) and give you your order asap. Sufficient parking even with a crowd. Enjoy your char grilled dog without firing up the grill.

    This is a huge place in side. Ample amount of seats. Service was fast and courageous. Food hit our junk food craving. Everything came out fresh and is cooked to order. I was super excited about the cheese fries, but should have expected its highly processed salty cheese. I think next time I will skip the cheese.

    SO and I were in Buffalo for a few days and stopped in for a quick lunch. Love the meticulous manager and attentive workers here making sure the orders were complete. We shared a fish and chips basket with a nice portion of tarter and side of coleslaw, a hot dog with onions, relish and mustard, and a coke. Bottom line, the service was fast and the food was tasty!

    Amazing hot dog, staff played a lot which slowed the line but the food was spot on. If you are in the Buffalo area try them out.

    I am shocked at the reviews for this Shake Shack because my first in-restaurant experience was…read morephenomenal. I arrived with my son for dinner on a Tuesday night and was able to use a kiosk right away. The system was user-friendly but there wasn't an option to add extra bacon (for the extra bacon orderers out there). We grabbed a number to dine in and found our table. The dining room was clean, and all but one table was bussed, which is not bad by any restaurant's standards. Our food was brought to our table in probably 7 minutes. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger with crispy onions and my son got the chicken sandwich with the herb mayo. For sides, we got the spicy fries and onion rings. I grabbed some napkins from the plentiful (and full) dispensers located near the shelves by the front counter. Wow. These were the best meals we'd each had in some time. My son said it was literally the best chicken sandwich he's ever eaten, enough to want to be the one to write the review in the feedback survey sent to me via text. A teenage boy wanting to write a food review should tell you something. And just look at my burger. Looking like the star it was. Basking in the sunlight during golden hour. Made perfectly and was as good as it looked, if not, better. It was juicy, and cooked perfectly. The little sleeve that my burger came in was not my favorite. It served its purpose but I may have preferred it being lightly wrapped in one of those foil lined papers. The sides were perfect as well. Crispy, fresh onion rings, that were nice thick slices of onion. The spicy fries were nice and crispy too, and weren't your standard cajun. The shakes for dessert were delicious and tasted like real ice cream. I can't speak highly enough about the service on our visit. The young lady, unprompted, refilled our drinks at least 2 or 3 times during our meal and even offered to refill our drinks before we left. We ordered our shakes to go, after our meal and she continued being attentive! When she saw we had another table number, she checked in on us and asked what we ordered so we weren't waiting too long. My only contention is the price. It is more expensive than fast food by a bit. However, in my opinion, Shake Shack shouldn't be judged alongside McDonald's but more Five Guys in the middle ground between fast food and casual sit-down. But that being said, based on this experience, Shake Shack beats any other burger chain, by a long shot.

    First time visiting. Crowded area at front door with four order screens…read more Ordering was easy and put a table number in and sat down outside. Ordering arrived in about 10 minutes. Burgers were tasty and not over crispy. Shakes were good. Had chocolate and dining partner had strawberry. The fries with cheese were disappointing- not crispy, tasted like cheese wiz. Will pass on those in future. Ok for a decent smash burger.

The menu is basically the greatest hits of American civilization: burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, Italian sausage, decent ice cream selection, and for those under 12 who can still confidently recite the Pledge of Allegiance without accidentally starting with "In God We Trust." Free i scream you scream an ice cream cone!!! They've also got beer, wine, and mimosas, because apparently Sea worthy Lumberjacks believes in equality between breakfast, lunch, and questionable afternoon decisions. But i didn't live that dangerous and had bottomless raspberry tea which was absolutely delicious. Like, "Why have I been drinking regular tea like some kind of peasant?" delicious. The band was great, too. And then came the plot twist....They announced that Lumberjacks is closing at the end of the season because the property has been bought by the city. Cue the dramatic violin music. So apparently, after providing waterfront food, beverages, music, and a place for people to sit around enjoying themselves, civilization has decided we've had enough. The city has acquired the property, and the Lumberjacks era is coming to an end. Which is unfortunate because if I had a boat and an eye patch, I'd probably be permanently docked here by now. I'd have a raspberry tea in one hand, a beer in the other, and absolutely no idea where my boat came from. Great food. Great waterfront patio. Reasonable prices. Good music. Good drinks. And apparently a limited-time offer because the city is taking over. If you haven't been, go before the season ends. Because nothing says "support your local restaurant" quite like finding out it's being taken away and suddenly developing a deep emotional attachment to the place. 10/10 would return. 11/10 if I had a boat. 12/10 if someone gives me an eye patch. ‍

The second you walk in, you immediately smell the real hardwood lump charcoal they've been grilling over since they first started in the late 1920s, and you can actually watch them cook your food to order (which I love). The place oozes a casual backyard BBQ energy, and it feels like an old school Buffalo institution that might no longer be in its heyday, but it clearly still has a hardcore group of local fans. It was confusing as first time diners to figure out how it all works. First, you go in and place your order with the person behind the grill. The nice lady immediately started grilling our meats. Next comes the toppings that can be customized, and then any additional side orders. You pay, get your food, and seat yourself. The dining room is clean but delightfully frozen in time, looking very late-'70s retro in a way that feels exactly right. The seating is old, dingy, and uncomfortable, so this isn't a restaurant where you'd want to sit and linger. Food-wise, this is definitely a spot for beef and sausage lovers. If you're not into that, fair warning: my grilled chicken was pretty mediocre and mostly just tasted like charcoal (which some people might love, but it wasn't doing much for me). The flavor was exactly like what I'd eat when my Uncle would break out the charcoal grill in the backyard during my childhood. The smell and taste brought back pleasant memories, but I guess I'm so used to gas grills or wood grills now that charcoal seems so dated. Meanwhile, my husband's sausage on a bun absolutely stole the show. His was loaded with grilled onions, juicy, smoky, and genuinely drool-worthy. I was a little jealous just looking at it. If you eat sausages, I would recommend ordering that here. There's not a lot for non-red meat eaters, and certainly this isn't the place for vegetarians! Despite my disappointing chicken breast, there were plenty of wins. The buns were especially soft and delicious, and I loved the fresh leaf lettuce and tomato on my sandwich. The produce tasted fresh and bright and wasn't wilted at all, which genuinely surprised me. We split the half-and-half side (which was half fries and half onion rings). The fries were nothing noteworthy, but the onion rings were the real star. Get those crispy, flavorful rings and thank me later! Also, shoutout to the two free pickles on the side, which is a small touch that equalled big happiness. There's also a self-serve soda fountain with free refills of Pepsi products! I'm glad I spotted Ted's and decided to stop in. I couldn't resist the old school exterior, and I can see why this continues to stay in business (despite it not being crowded at all the night we dined there). It might not be the best pick if you're avoiding beef or sausage, but it's still a fun, very Buffalo place to try. Between the smoky grill, the retro atmosphere, and those killer onion rings, it feels like a local rite of passage. I'm glad we did it.
