The moment we stepped in we were welcomed by the owner I believe. He was very polite and told us about his experience in the food industry especially his knowledge with beef/bison. We were seated and waited on by Gabriela. She was very nice and attentive. We ordered: the kids grilled cheese, Ted's bacon bison cheese burger with fries and the Ted's bacon bison cheeseburger with 50/50 fries and onion rings. Our dishes were amazing!!!! We really enjoyed the flavor of our burgers. The little one enjoyed their grilled cheese and fries of course. We ordered the strawberry shortcake (not pictured) because we devoured it quickly. It was so delicious. We enjoyed the all American decor here and the bathrooms were very clean. We can't wait to come back here for the great service and delicious food. read more

I've heard about Ted's Montana grill from a coworker so I had to come try them out. It's cool how they have bison on the menu. I got their bison burger which was so delicious and a huge portion, along with the 50/50 fries and onion rings. I also tried the bison short ribs which were also very tender and good. Great service too. A little pricey but worth for the bison burger read more

Ted's Montana Grill - Burgers Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Came here for a burger and left so happy. Their dining area reminded me of old steakhouse feel. Our waitress was so wonderful and answered all my son's questions like, "what is this map of?" Asking about the large paper placemat on top of the table and guess what? It's the map of Ted's farm in Montana! Which is where most of their bison is from! Personally, bison was gamey for my taste but don't let me stop you. Oh! Do get their onion rings or better yet get the half and half ( fries and onion rings) as a side. read more

We came here in a Tuesday night for a business dinner. The place feels upper scale and the staff makes you feel appreciated. I have a garlic allergy and my waitress made sure to check with the kitchen to make sure that what I was ordering was custom made. I had the bison filet and it was cooked just right to my liking. The sides were very good as well. Everyone at my table enjoyed their meal and the wait staff was great at refilling drinks. I would definitely come back. The bill for 7 of us was very reasonable. read more

Food was extremely salty. We ordered salmon to be cooked medium. It was way overcooked, uneatable. Since we were with a a group, we decided to not send it back. But, we will never return. read more

The vibe is definitely "steakhouse" but honestly I almost didn't open the front door because I thought it wasn't very inviting. Fortunately my server Kayla was fabulous and that's why I'm rounding up. (Otherwise this might be a two or three star review). She might be the most friendly waitress I've ever met! The wedge was great and on par with the reviews I read so my expectations were high for the brisket.... Well it was unfortunately shockingly disappointingly and curiously bland - as were the garlic mashed potatoes and carrots. Good thing Ted left the salt grinder on the table cause I needed a lot of salt to provide some flavor. I wanted to try the Wildberry Cheesecake which looked so good in the pictures but I was full and it was late... maybe another time. read more

Loved the experience. Ambience is very good. Our waiter helped us choose gluten free items. Overall good experience.

I love this place amazing establishment every time I attend. I recommend a nice cut of a bison steak. It is juicy and will melt in your mouth like butter over an open fire. The salads and sides are PEAK. Ozzy an employee at this establishment is the best server I have ever encountered and he will give you an amazing hand cut slice of the bison del Monaco. I recommend coming here. read more

The pickles kept me coming back over the past couple years after a not so great first experience and now this has been my go to place for a good, consistent surf and turf. I typically dine here during off hours or mid week when it's not packed and there's no wait. The atmosphere during those times is very nice ... not packed, music is at a reasonable level, kitchen isn't crazy (it's an open kitchen) and I can enjoy my meal. Even during off hours this place does a solid business with a full/full-ish dining room. The booths are nice and cozy and feel private with high backs. This time I got the short rib and it was very good ... almost fall off the bone but could have been a little more tender. (I judge short rib tenderness based on if I need a knife or not.) The mashed potatoes are always smooth and creamy and the broccoli is cooked perfectly. They also have high quality to go containers for left overs rather than the horrible styrofoam junk. (Don't forget to ask for more pickles so you can take some home). Service is excellent as well with consistently friendly servers and bartenders. If the short rib was a little more tender this would be hands down a 5 star review but based on price point I have a higher bar for a perfect rating. Nonetheless I will continue to enjoy Ted's. We actually brings out of town visitors here so we certainly recommend this place. read more

Well, we have had Nathan serve us on our last two visits, including today, and he was exceptional. He was on point for everything we asked for, and checked on us often. I would request his service again, anytime. I felt the need to post this, due to the bad review he was given in a recent post here in Yelp. read more

Came back for a casual date night and my review remains the same! Great service and a mean bison burger. The blue creek is what I got this time - I do wish they gave more bleu cheese as that flavor got a little lost in the meatiness of the burger but still delicious. Cooked perfectly medium and tender as ever. Onion rings are still top tier and their fries can hit the spot too somehow even though they are on the softer side. read more

Food is no problem. Call ahead feature is worthless. Called ahead when the wait was 45 minutes . Hit there in 40 minutes . Checked in and was told the wait was 45 minutes. Why call ahead? That's right , they don't really have phone ahead seating. Really pissed me off. read more

Food and service was great! We will definitely be back. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal.

Like most restaurants, Ted's has been stripping stuff out of their menu. It's a single page, now. Mostly burgers. If you like expensive burgers, I guess this is your spot. Went and had a Delmonico ribeye last night that was mostly a mass of fat and gristle soaked for about a week in meat tenderizer. I've had better steaks at Waffle House. Very disappointing. I used to rave about this place, but now it's just sub-par at best. Do better, Ted's. read more

Usually Ted's is a place you can really count on for solid ambiance, great service and really solid food experience as well. The most recent trip there, they really slipped. On a Friday night they didn't have any fish?? And it wasn't late on a Friday night either. It took forever to get my drink. And the server seem to really rushed. I never had the short ribs and I don't think I'll have them again. They weren't terrible but they weren't memorable at all, they just didn't have a lot of flavor really. Other items at Ted's just do a lot better. I asked for coffee and I finally got it and it was pretty marginal. I'm always amazed at restaurants who don't serve good coffee. It's such an easy thing to get right and so many of them drop the ball on their coffee. read more

Stopped for a bite but they stopped making my favorite salad. Last time I was here was 5 years ago. It was ok. Service was ok. Hubby had the short ribs which were ok but lacked seasoning. I had the balsalmic steak salad. We started with the onion rings which were ok. Salty! Good huckleberry spicy margarita. read more

My husband and I were heading home after a fun weekend in Buford, Georgia, celebrating my cousin's 50th birthday. After looking at several options, we decided to get lunch at Ted's Montana Grill because the menu looked good and it was three miles away from the hotel where we stayed. It was sitting on the corner of a strip mall building, across the way from Costco. We arrived before the big lunch crowd arrived, so we got a great booth near the HUGE bison head on the wall. It was pretty cool to see. Our server, Kelly, welcomed us and thanked us for visiting Ted's before we hit the road back home. She let us know about the specials, told us about how everything was "small plates", fresh, and made when you request it, and then she helped us make our lunch selections. My husband got the Ted's bacon cheeseburger with half fries and half onion rings, along with an Arnold Palmer (tea and lemonade mix), which he loves. I chose the Red Rock sandwich with fries, and a mango lemonade. Kelly promptly brought out our drinks and left us to enjoy them while our food was being prepared. The kitchen was open to the public, so you could see fire blaze up on the grill from time to time. Our food was ready in about 10 minutes or so. She brought our food over directly from the grill and made sure we had everything we needed. She got my husband another Arnold Palmer and left us to enjoy the food, coming to check on us a couple of times while we ate. My only regret is that I did not get pictures. The food was very flavorful and had a really good smoky note to it. I snagged one of my husband's onion rings and it had a great crunch to it. The sauce they had for the onion rings was tasty too. Kelly came back when we were half through and told us about the apple pecan crisp dessert. She let us know that it would need about 10 minutes in the oven if we wanted it. I checked with the driver to see what he wanted to do, and he said, "Let's do it." She came back in 10 minutes with a piping hot bowl of apple pecan crisp dessert with one scoop of ice cream on top. The Granny Smith apples tasted like the chefs had just sliced them off the core, and the crumble on top was excellent. The vanilla ice cream made it all the better. We were able to share the dessert with no problems. We had phenomenal service, great food, and a laid-back, calming atmosphere. My husband and I will definitely be back whenever we find ourselves visiting Buford again. Thank you Ted's for a great meal! read more

Stopped 12/04, for dinner. Was seated promptly in their cozy booth. Greeted with a friendly and welcoming smile from Taylor our server. My hubby and I both ordered same entrees. Braised Short Ribs with mashed potatoes and buttered carrots. Everything was delicious. Nice to find a place so close to home. The lighting was nice on the eyes, music playing in the background, but not blaring. read more

We live so close, and finally decided to try Ted's. Ordered Bison short ribs, with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. The ribs were done perfectly, very tender and delicious. Potatoes and broccoli were good, but the bison was the star. Wife ordered the same thing, and agreed that it was a great choice. Atmosphere is nice, and staff is friendly. Our server was Taylor, and I suggest you ask to be at one of her tables. She was very good. All in all, it's an excellent choice for dinner. Many say, it's great for lunch. I just can't comment on that without experience. I do plan to visit during lunch at some point. For now, I highly recommend Ted's for dinner. read more

We arrived on Friday at 6:00 PM. Sadly, we did not get into eat as we were told there was a 30-minute wait despite literally every table except one being open. They claimed reservations were coming. First, I did not even know they started taking reservations. Second, Really, this is a burger joint. Seems like every visit here in the last year has been problematic in one way or another. So off to Bubba 33, they were actually busy with only a few open tables, but we were seated and helped right away. Oh, everyone one here is smiling and friendly. Maybe it is time to scratch this place off our list. read more

Great service, delicious food and nice ambiance. It was our first time trying Ted's Montana Grill and we had a great experience. We were seated right away and then after a few minutes the waitress came to introduce herself and take our drink orders. She brought our waters, took our orders and brought some pickles that I think were homemade. The food took a little while to come. My husband ordered Bison Filet with fries and asparagus and I ordered a burger with fries. When our food arrived the waitress told me that the fries would be coming soon, but I ended up finishing the burger and the fries didn't arrive (I ate some of my husband's fries). The waitress came and apologized and went back in to check/get my fries. She brought me a plate with fresh fries and she was very sweet and gave me a dessert as an apology for the delay. Our food was very delicious! My burger tasted great, I tried some of my husband's steak and it was tender and juicy and my husband was impressed with it for being from a chain restaurant. The asparagus were perfect! The dessert was also very good! We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Just updating as its been over 5 years.... Teds is the bomb for me. Love meat, love bison burgers and onion rings, love the atmosphere and service we get at Teds. I've come alone at sat at the bar, even brought some boys from the football team here for burgers- they had never had bison and always ordered well done so I taught them how to eat meat right.... .salt pepper medium rare or rare!!!! They loved the burgers and fries and knocked bison off their bucket lists.... ( when they write one). Classy place, nice booths that are private -ish.. , great service and impeccable food. Large selection of wines and help pairing with your dish and specials are usually fantastic!! Over by Costco, across from Mall- easy to get to and does operate during covid using proper care. Highly recommend! read more

I have been to Ted's many times, just a few weeks ago we went to the one at Avalon north Atlanta....love the classic steakhouse atmosphere and design, they give you free the absolute best classic dill pickles, they are crunchy and fat free, the real New York taste, I had their fantastic large fish sandwich that is lightly fried with soft inter fish, their onion rings are top notch on a par with the best steakhouse in the country, my wife had one of their fancy large hamburgers that was a feast and top quality...all the iced tea I could want...our waitress did her level best and was very nice....a great experience at a fair price...here is a terrific place one can go once a week and be happy...great deal read more

My husband and I visited for the first time today, for lunch. I got the Avalon beef burger with 50/50 onion rings and fries. Our server Margo suggested their creamy horseradish sauce with the onion rings and she wasn't wrong. It was delicious! My burger was juicy and divine. My husband got the Ted's burger with fries and gobbled it up. Margo was very attentive, knowledgeable and nice. The restaurant is decorated beautifully with pictures of Montana. It was dimly lit and would be great for a romantic dinner. We will be back! read more

I can't believe I haven't tried their burger before now. I love their menu gives you options of chicken beef or bison. I loved the beef burger and the half/half fries and onion rings. The atmosphere was so nice and very clean. read more

Upon entry I was not greeted and waited 10 minutes to be seated. I was seated at a booth which is one of their options of seating, including a bar and regular tables. I was hosted by Kelly who showed me amazing service. Waiter showed up frequently and wait times between orders and food delivery were longer than anticipated. However being there on Valentine's Day, one of their busiest days of the year, makes up for that. The food was excellent. The photos I have attached show my order: Ted's Bacon Cheeseburger, a Wildberry Cheesecake, and a chocolate milkshake. All three were delightful and I definitely recommend them. Overall four out of five stars! I enjoyed my time! read more

I would give a negative star if it was an option. We had a reservation for 6:30pm. We weren't seated until 7pm. They acted as though we didn't have a reservation. . We didn't want to be seated by the bathroom or front door which was on the reservation. Then once we were seated the waiter (Nathan) didn't introduce himself. When we ordered 2 of us ordered the 9 Oz Salmon. When it came out it was visibly that 1 of them was not 9 oz. The "chef" Chris came out and said with a raised voice "who was it that said their salmon wasn't 9 oz? Then he went into that he weighs them himself before they are sent out. Then he sits down a 5oz. salmon. Never have I gone to a restaurant and "reprimanded" for saying the obvious. Even the waitress that brought it out agreed. We had to ask several times for things such as butter, gravy, loaded potato ingredientssince it wasn'ton the potatoes. Told us they don't give bread but the table behind us had a basket of bread. Never refilled the tea. So when we were ending the meal Nathan came to the table and said the Manager (Chris) was giving us deserts on the house. Gave me a menu. But when the check came only 1 desert was comped. We talked to Nathan and he said only the person with the salmon issue was getting a free desert. Now 4 people at the table heard it differently. Why did he give me the menu? I wasn't the one with the small salmon. So Nathan said he wasn't going to argue. So we asked for the Manager. The manager said the same thing Nathan said but after it was explained again he said he would remove it but it was just for the one whose meal was messed up. Glad Chris took it off but I will never come back to this location again. It was bad from the walking in to the walking out. The food was mediocre and the service was awful. With all the restaurants in Atlanta why would I want to spend my money someplace that wouldn't even apologize for the mistakes they made. Ruined the experience. read more
