I walked to this restaurant and was a little confused about where to enter. There are apparently two entrances but one goes directly in and I thought it was just some side door. I was eating solo and was seated really quickly. It was a while before anyone came up to the table to start taking my order. I was going to go with a lower rating, but they redeemed themselves enough. I went pretty simple, a bacon cheeseburger and fries. I did opt for bison since I had never eaten it. My waitress, once she came to the table, was incredibly nice and did check in a few times - not overly so like some can do. I appreciated that. I did order the burger medium and it came out medium well to well, but I attribute that to bison cooking quicker and it really didn't matter to me anyway. Burger was good. Fries were good. I contemplated dessert, but the cookie they serve with the ice cream is oatmeal, but I was told they have a brownie and ice cream option. Sign me up! The waitress brought it out a little later, the brownie nice and warm. It was good. No complaints. This place is t great, but it is good and the food is less expensive than some of the options I had around here. I'd definitely go back if I am in the area again. I might even have to try to get some bison meat at home. read more

Several nights spent here having dinner and drinks. Fantastic martinis. I made the mistake of ordering an old fashioned. First one was not the one I ordered (they have their own version on the menu which was overly sweetened) but not horrible so I drank it. Ordered a second one and clarified that I wanted a traditional one. It came and was the single most disappointing drink I've ever had. Didn't drink it. Every night I was there my experiences went down in quality. Whether it was the drinks, then the food, then service, each visit was progressively more disappointing. The ambience was fine~ it's giving old-timey with a little cafeteria sprinkled on top. Overall I'm averaging my multiple experiences there with my rating. read more

Great menu and totally satisfied my craving for a delicious burger. Many burgers to choose from and option of beef or bison & one side. I chose the 1977 AMERICA'S CUP (American, bacon, grilled onion, mushroom, fried egg) with a side order of grilled asparagus that were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Claire was very friendly and attentive to our needs. She kept our water glasses and drinks filled despite the large groups she also had to attend. Fairly noisy w the NCAA Championship being displayed on the screens. I would definitely come back to try the other items in the menu when back in town visiting! read more

Fantastic bison burger grilled medium rare w/ grilled onions, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Garnished with lettuce tomato, pickle & onion but I only added the tomato. Fresh cut French fries, iced tea & water, then there was pecan apple crisp w/ vanilla ice cream -- it was big enough for four to share! Service was great and the interior of a historic classic old restaurant with a bar was comfortable and enjoyable. read more

Friendly service, generous portions. Nice patio in the back. Accommodating for allergies. Bison meatloaf was amazing.

Ted's is normally our go to steakhouse while visiting from out of town and unfortunately, it will be my last visit. While my first experience was great, each visit since has gone downhill, and this most recent one was incredibly disappointing. We waited 30 minutes just to get drinks from the bar. Our server seemed overwhelmed, and it was clear the restaurant was struggling to keep up. Our kids were starving, and it took an hour and a half for our food to arrive. When it finally came, I ordered the ribeye, which was completely flavorless--definitely not what I expect from a place known for steaks. At the end of the meal, I brought up our concerns to the server. She apologized and offered 10% off the bill. We were charged, signed, and ready to leave after a 2.5-hour dinner. However, we noticed the discount hadn't been applied, so we stayed behind while the bill was corrected and reprinted. Days later, we noticed an unauthorized charge on our account--for the full amount of the bill. We've called the restaurant multiple times to speak with a manager, and no one has returned our calls. As someone with 15 years in the restaurant industry, I find it unacceptable that no one from management addressed our concerns at the table or has followed up since. We'll be disputing the charge with our credit card company. It's unfortunate, because Ted's used to be a great spot, but the service and accountability have gone severely downhill. If you're looking for a good steak and a smooth dining experience, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

We were a group of five dining at Ted's Montana Grill and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. It took over an hour for our food to arrive, which would be understandable if the restaurant was packed -- but it wasn't. There were maybe five or six tables occupied in total. It was clear the staff was overwhelmed or understaffed. We saw new customers come in and stand around waiting, with no one greeting them for several minutes. Eventually, a server came out and explained she had been helping in the kitchen. That honestly made me wonder -- was my steak cooked by a chef, or by one of the servers? I ordered my steak medium rare, but what I got was at least medium, if not more. For a place that positions itself as a steakhouse, that kind of mistake is disappointing. All in all, the restaurant wasn't busy, yet service and execution were far below expectations. Sadly, we won't be coming back any more. read more

I have been receiving email ads for their new Smash Burger. It looks incredible. I have had Smash Burgers before and agree they are more juicy and tasty. Both my wife and I ordered it along with onion rings and fries. There are no words that can describe how terrible they were. First of all the food was cold. The meat was overcooked and the sides were simply bad. We were so disappointed. We expected a much more tasty meal. Shame on Ted's. It will be sometime before we ever go back. read more

When in Rome, I mean Montana, you must try Ted's Montana Grill, right? It was a rainy early September evening, we quickly were seated but it took a while to get service and our drink order. We were told they were short staffed. We were patient/ no problem. Our server was exceptionally friendly and helpful with suggestions. All four dinners were good. Two of us enjoyed the bison meatloaf which was rich and delicious and it came with so- so sides of mashed potatoes with gravy and buttered carrots. The bison was the highlight. The vibe is a true western old-timey feel. Lots of wood everywhere. Restrooms were located adjacent in the connecting hotel. It was a nice experience. read more

My bison steak tasted very tasty eight out of 10 dope restaurant cool place in town good place to get a feel for the town cause I will be going to college here soon.

Ted's Montana Grill - Bison Delmonico Ribeye (14 Oz) - American Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Nice steakhouse right in the middle of Bozeman on Main Street. Made reservations and walked right in and we're seated. Service was excellent, prices were a little high, as is everything now. I had the Bison Meatloaf, loved it! The rest of our party had Steak, Burgers and the salads. Nothing but positive reviews of their food. The ambiance inside was really cool, almost like a cabin feel. 4 stars instead of 5 is mainly due to price, otherwise highly recommend. read more

For the price, the food just was not it. The onion rings were extremely dry and the rest of the food for the most part flavorless. We expected so much more. read more

We've had several friends recommend Ted's and the food left a lot to be desired. We had a reservation and we were seated promptly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is excellent although it was extremely hard for us to hear each other at our own table. I do think they need to do something for more of a sound barrier it was very loud and the restaurant was not full. Our server was kind, helpful and diligent making sure we were taken care of. The food was a disappointment. My husband I and I each got a ribeye with sides. The steaks were cooked correct, unfortunately they lacked in flavor & they did not have a sear. My husband got the chipotle corn and onion rings for his sides. He liked the corn but the onion ring batter was too thick it made them mushy. I got the asparagus and mashed potatoes, the asparagus needed flavor (garlic or lemon or balsamic -something) & the potatoes were very lumpy with a lot of skin left in, they were flavored well. Overall for the cost we were disappointed and we will probably not return. We did hear another table say the burgers are the best thing they've had off the menu. read more

Loved this place for the past 15 years... until now. Last couple times I went, the food quantity and quality was terrible. They are no longer cooking using large size meats, and even the classic red rock chicken sandwich was sad. The chicken breast was dry and half the size of the bread it was on. There was not much in the way of sauce on there. The fries weren't even good somehow (dry and clearly not home made). The smash burger sadly was a regular burger, not much smash to it and it was also overcooked and dry. The wait staff was however, very nice, but unable to rectify the situation. It's sad to see this Bozeman staple hit the lows many other places in town have. Ted's used to be the most consistent restaurant in town. RIP. read more

We came up from Fontana Ca to vacation and stopped by Teds. Had to, same name lol great food and great service. Especially from Joe, we had our 13lbs Yorkie terrier with us and it had been raining the day before so we wanted to avoid trying to sit inside because our little doggy was with us. We wanted to sit outside in the patio. Did not want to impose special treatment. Joe insisted we sit inside with the others. We appreciated that. Thank you Joe!! read more

My husband and I went to Ted's and sat at the bar this past Monday night around 7:45 Ordered a couple martinis and a burger to split with a salad The food was pretty good but the service was horrible. The bartender I feel was a little inexperienced and was more interested in taking shots with his friends at the bar. We ordered our food before the other patrons at the bar but his friends/co worker who were sitting at the bar got their food WAY before us. He did say our burger will be out soon...while our first drinks remained empty without him actually coming over again. We got our burger and gave up on any more service. So we sat there trying to close out while him and another bartender/ maybe even a female manager made more complimentary shots for friends and some other people at the bar while we waited for someone to pay attention and close us out. Finally after seeing how frustrated we were getting he came over and I just gave him my card without even reviewing the bill because I was afraid it would be another 25 minutes before someone came over. I suggest for a nice establishment like this, Maybe hire employees who actually want to work read more

I thought the service was amazing. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and attentive. The overall restaurant has a romantic atmosphere to it and it's perfect for a date night. We passed it on Valentine's Day and it was packed! However, I didn't absolutely love my food, though my partner did love his Bison steak. I ordered the Bison brisket with garlic mashed potatoes and buttered broccoli and out of everything my favorite were the mashed potatoes. The brisket just tasted bland, unfortunately. I also found the lemonade to be quite flavorful and refreshing, so highly recommend trying it! read more

The atmosphere was nice and there were lights at most tables which gave it a "romantic" feeling. The service was good and the waitress checked in on us multiple times to ensure we were taken care of. The beef burger was good, but the bison New York strip was slightly bland. The price of the meal was unfortunately higher than the quality of food we received. read more

Well being the Independent day, we didn't have reservations we check in and waited for about 35 minutes. We sat at the bar and I got say that the service was great. The best dirty martini in town! Food & the service was superb!! A must if like Bison beef!!! read more

Ted's provides a steak-house atmosphere--comfortable, if slightly dark for our taste. Our waiter was on her second day on the job without a trainer, and she was very professional, courteous, and efficient. The menu was that of a good chop house, with several species of meat. Our ribeyes were properly prepared, hitting the mark for doness--medium-rare--precisely. Use caution when ordering appetizers--we ordered the onion rings, and the portion was enormous! That said, they were also well prepared. Their bartender knows how to make a martini...which is a surprisingly rare occurrence . Overall, this restaurant fulfills its promise; that of a solid, American steak house. Recommend, read more

Great service and food. I had the bison ribeye, one of the best. They have an outdoor patio that looked like a lot of fun. We sat near the bar with a window view to the street, pretty intimate setting. read more

The service was great but everything else was terrible. Food was bland and had nothing special about it. I got a grilled chicken sandwich and my partner got a burger, both were extremely bland and took a good while to come out. We both waited 40 minutes before receiving our meals and being able to eat. The best part of this meal was probably the onion rings and even then they weren't fully cooked. Don't recommend coming here unless you want to be disappointed. read more

This burger and steakhouse joint is perfect for your classic dishes or trying something new! My husband got a bison steak and I got a bison burger. I don't remember the name of mine but it was fire! It had jalapeño's along with a jam spread, I was feeling adventurous today and I'm so glad that I did! The mix of spicy and sweet was really good. My fries were cold so I was a little disappointed there, but the onion rings were good. The prices are on the higher end--granted most places are in the area compared to back home, but we would probably return if in the area again. read more

The food was just okay. I don't even remember what we ate it was that forgettable. I also didn't realize it was a chain restaurant of Ted turners til after we left. The service was the problem. There seemed to be so many staff but they weren't doing anything just talking to each other. They were talking about other staff badly in front of everyone. We always sit at the bar because there is usually better service. We are literally sitting right there as they ignored us not asking if we needed anything and just talking to each other. There is much better food in Bozeman and much better service. Don't bother going here for either. read more

Loved the food, we got a few apps and an entree to share. Great portions and the service was quick and attentive.

We've flown into Bozeman several times but have never tried the famous Ted's restaurant. It was time to check it out! We stopped by for lunch and were immediately greeted. The host was very friendly and explained there were only two in the kitchen this day and there would be at least a 20 minute wait for a table. I don't know about you but these days, 20 minutes is not really a wait! We decided to get a glass of wine at the bar. The bartender was friendly and very busy. I don't think she stopped one time while we were there. After sipping on our wine, we decided to eat at the bar. We had our food within 10 minutes of ordering! Two ordered meatloaf sandwiches with kale salad,one ordered meatloaf sandwich with fries and onion rings. I had the balsamic blue steak salad with bison tenderloin. Two stated the meatloaf was delicious. Their kale salad was moist and not dry like kale they have had in the past. They were very please. The other didn't have any positive or negative to say about their sandwich, fries & onion rings. I enjoyed my salad. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The dressing mixed nicely with the other ingredients. The bison was cooked to order. The atmosphere was that of a typical Montana restaurant. A cross between western and elegant. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and and now can check this off our list! read more

If I had the bison burger, I'd probably give the place four stars. Right? I think. But I had Bison Short Ribs and I was bit disappointed. Bit too bland. Service was little slow too. Waiter, a happy young man was happy to take our order but forgot to bring beer we asked for and water he said he'd bring. This was 2p on Tuesday. Waiter had two tables to wait on. Location was nice. Place is rustic. Again, I'll come here yes, but I'll do a burger for a chance to increase the score. read more

Ted's Montana Grill - Bbq Bison Short Ribs and Strange Cattle hazy IPA. - American Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

So wanted this to be a memorable night. Joined a few friends November 21 Ladies shopping night in Bozeman. We started with huckleberry jalapeno margaritas at the bar and they were amazing. This is what garnered the one star! as zero would have been more appropriate. They were spicy and tart with just the right amount of salt on the rim. We returned for reservations at 7 for dinner. We ordered the onion rings to start and they were great. Then everything went down hill. I ordered the bison shortribs, my friend ordered the meatloaf and my other friend ordered the bison filet medium rare. Hard to ruin shortribs, but it was so salty it was not very palatable. It was served with carrots and mashed potatoes. I do not like carrots that much and honestly that was the best part of my dish. The meatloaf was passable. I guess you can blame us for ordering something not from the grill but in hindsight, we probably were better off than our friend with the filet as she never got to eat her dinner at all!. Her mushroom covered filet with asparagus came out and we all eyed it as we knew it was not a filet. It looked more like a possible NY strip cut. She cut into it and it was well done. Took a while for the waitress to return and then she inspected the meat as if to make sure we knew what medium rare was. Gray meat is definitely not medium rare. We also said that it was not a filet cut and she disagreed with us. We know what filet looks like. She agreed finally it was overcooked and took it back to the kitchen. She told my friend to eat her asparagus in the meantime. Over 20 minutes later, after I finished my salt lick of a short rib, and we had pretty much finished our meal, a true filet medium rare came out. The cut this time was a round cut filet, when we pointed the difference from the original cut served to the server she seemed to shrug it off. My friend at this point just wanted to leave and take the filet. Totally disappointed at this point, we asked if the kitchen error could be taken off of our bill. The server said she would ask her manager as long as we requested it. Personally, the server should have suggested it herself. But things got worse, when she returned and said the manager was willing to offer us $15 off the $50 filet. This was insulting after my friend did not even get to enjoy any meal. When we protested, the server acting as if it was a huge request, returned to the manager and finally took the filet off the bill. I will not return to this restaurant read more
