This little hidden gem sits tucked down a slight hill off the main road so if you're not paying attention flying by I will certainly miss it. I stopped in abt 1:30 on my lunch break. It's like taking a step back in time, simple decor that gives you a sense of nostalgia. Something I certainly appreciate finding in every growing Charlotte where everything seems to be grass walls and neon lights decor. I got the bacon cheeseburger with fries and sweet tea. It was cooked to order and man was it delish. Seasoned perfectly and hot and fresh and the tea is exactly what tea in the South should be. Perfect sweetness. They have a lot of home style cooking items too that can please any palate from old to young. I will definitely be back. read more

We just visited Ted's Restaurant for the first time today. Our thoughts were "how have we missed this all these years?" The food was delicious and the service was so pleasant. You order at the main counter either for takeout or in the seating area. As well the pricing is affordable. The chicken salad sandwich today was $5.85 before tax. They open at 10:30 am and are open for dinner except for Sunday, closed on Monday Please take the time to visit Ted's if you enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and great food. read more

Ted's is an awesome family restaurant. We try and go once a week. The lady that takes our order is always so nice and kind to us. The food is good southern cooking nice when we don't want to cook. It's reasonably priced. The restaurant feels like you're having dinner with the neighborhood everyone is friendly. read more

Great comfort food and sweet folks. Home town atmosphere. Prices are reasonable also. Feels like and is a locals secret.

Gross food. Bad service. Restaurant smelled like mold. How do you F*** up a salmon salad? Well, I guess you have to work here to find out bc that is exactly what they did. Salmon was gross and slimy, lettuce was wilted and old. The linens smelled of mold and mildew. How frigging gross and embarrassing for a restaurant. I have a medical condition and asked the waitress if she could let me know 5-10min before the food was served so I could take medication. She flat out said "No, I'm too busy for that." I applaud her honesty and judging by the gross food and stench, she's is working in the right place bc she sucked too!! read more

Best Gyro I have ever had! The second time my wife and I have eaten here. Both times, the food was great! Not fancy, but friendly folks and good comfort food. read more

I've been eating at Ted's since the mid 80s. The Grecian chicken is the best in town, only available M/W/F. That's my favorite meal but all of the food is good. read more

Food gives that old school diner food that you had to have after school or to get you thru cramming for exams. Everything is good (I usually have the Chicken Philly or Gyro but have tried the fish, and several other dishes) and service is excellent. read more

I have no clue why this place has a good rating. The food is not good. I have had twice...no three time fool here. Both times, over salt-ified, generic mix from powder, or drop in fryer poor quality restaurant ingredients...and my opinion isn't from just fried food and mashed potatoes. Give a try to the grill, and it will yield the same disappointment. HS cafeteria food quality expectations will be met here, nothing more. I support local and small businesses, but when a place isn't good, it will not be rated as such. There are many other diner type places to go to in Charlotte. Venture there instead. read more

Greek friendliness and good food Something for everyone. Fish and okra, burgers etc

My meal was excellent and the 97 health grade made it even better. The place is very neat and clean and their fried chicken was excellent. The greens and pintos def were not from a can! read more

My husband has been here before. Today was my first visit. And it won't be my last. I have driven past this place loads of times and have never noticed it. The staff was friendly. I ordered a Veggie Pita and my husband ordered a Double Hamburger with Chili cheese fries. The lady taking my order was super helpful with answering my questions about the menu. The food came out quickly and it was AWESOME! I will definitely be back. The restaurant on the inside is a little outdated. But that didn't matter. It was super clean. Bathrooms were also clean. Great job you guys. Great first visit for me read more

Expect what you are given despite Fleece's review. Yes, cement floors. Cutlery not so cutty, Yes, the food is honest fare, the waitress kind to a fault - ladies fair. To be in a spirit of need and given generous hush puppies, clam chowder, a side of fries, & the tine of day. Graciousness and generosity heart-felt kindness goes without say Offering more tea and extras on my way. Yeah, such compassion. Will not ask for more Just a traveler. thankful for when asking, given & then added, "need more?" read more

We found Ted's Restaurant as a fluke and LOVED it! The sweet tea is some of the best I've tasted, the burgers were delicious and the fries were awesome. It's a nice family style restaurant and the service was wonderful! Great prices and great food We will definitely be coming back. read more

Great place for lunch. Food is always hot and fresh. I just wish I had visited there sooner. Good variety of goods.

Best little place open till 8 best dumplings on Tuesdays and Meatloaf on Thursday's. Super burger is the best in town. Special omelet not on the menu but really good. Fried chicken best around, Grecian chicken seems to sell out all the time. Owner is a great person and very family orientated. As well as the staff this is the best gem in the area. Hidden menu of Chicken ala gotcha and bacon,cheese omelettes outstanding. Don't forget the onions. Nighttime could be faster on the service , days flies and is all over the refills and courtesy Ahh the best meatloaf for the best price in town!!! Serving take-out all day till 8pm Great food as always always one of the cleanest restaurants that I trust my family to eat from. Ask for Ragu's Chicken and Rice soup. Great Stuff!! read more

Overrated!!! And they don't do refunds not worth the money at all Shrimp were not cleaned properly, coleslaw watery, half cooked chicken tenders. Although they have a grade 99 I was very disappointed!! I don't recommend read more

Mediocrity at its finest. Been in CLT for 13 years....thought I would give this place a try since I pass by it multiple times a week. I got the hamburger steak with fried squash and slaw. My bf got Fried shrimp and FF/onion rings. It was edible....and memorable enough not to eat here again. The hamburger steak was OK. The squash was flavorless. The batter was crispy and the squash was soggy on the inside. My BF said his shrimp was Ok at best. After I was seated and waited on my food...I asked for a side of ranch to dip my squash in. I got really irritated when the waitress told me she would have to charge me. So, not having any cash, I had to whip out my debit card to pay a $0.38 charge for some ranch. I'm sorry, but a $20 dinner for 2 warrants a side of ranch and a side of tartar sauce for the shrimp. If I were the waitress and saw someone pull out a debit to run a $0.38 charge....i believe I would say....."don't worry about it...its fine". She apologized and told us that she had gotten in trouble earlier in the day for not charging someone. The atmosphere is a bit nostalgic like a look back in time. Is the food edible?....I suppose. Will I be back?.....I doubt it. If the owners were not so tight on the "ranch fund"....I might consider going back to try something else. 2 stars was being generous. read more

Maaaaaan....I really wanted to like Teds. I normally love places like this. You know the kind...been around ages, loads of regulars, staff that has probably worked there for 20 years..the kind of place where the owner knows your name.Maybe I have been spoiled by Louis's Grille or something because my first ( and probably going to be the last) visit to Teds was a bit of a let down. Now I do have to say that the staff was extremely friendly...but unfortunately the food disappointed. I ordered the Grecian Chicken special with the greek salad and fried squash (one of my favorite things normally). Maybe I have never had a REAL greek salad in my life but I didn't understand why my salad was drenched in something that resembled and tasted like a bland ranch. Not a fan. Then the fried squash...not crispy and just mush on the inside. I am now officially convinced that thick cut fried squash is just a bad idea. The chicken itself wasn't bad but it didn't have that much flavor and the leg was pretty dry. I tried the chicken pita that my mom got, and was really excited about, and again...just ok. I really went back and forth about whether to give this place 2 stars ( when my mom asked me what I thought about the food, I actually said "Meh..") or 3 stars because I do want to support a business that has been around this long. But ultimately it should be about the food shouldn't it? :/ read more

I have been eating here 20+ years and NEVER had a bad meal. This place is consistent and efficient. They rocked during this pandemic!!

Ted's is like one of those diner's you can find in small towns, with the ever dependable "regulars" always there around lunch time. Let me paint you a picture; never-ending sweet tea, fried chicken with sides of green beans, potato salad, and okra, and of course big hamburgers. Their menu is fairly diverse what a Southern restaurant, their service is speedy, and you'll hardly ever pay more than ten bucks for a huge meal. However, the food is stuck somewhere in the middle of average and just ok. If I'm starving and want a cheap, quick meal in East Charlotte, I wouldn't hesitate to eat at Ted's. But when t comes to taste, it just isn't that great. I've ate there a couple of times and despite always feeling full, I never quite felt satisfied afterwards. read more

Best "all the way" Carolina Hot Dog in the city. They're so good that I just created a Yelp profile. Pleasant and personable staff. Seriously y'all; go get you a couple dogs...chili, mustard, onions and slaw. read more

This restaurant will give you a very old school, family feel. Nothing fancy but also not terrible . I usually stop here when I need something quick and filling . I actually like their deluxe salt and pepper tilapia sandwich that comes with two sides. It's always on special. I also like their green beans so I usually just double up on those . The employees are friendly... they do their job and send you on your way. If you're looking for 5 star service and updated decor you should head uptown lol. It reminds me of a diner in a small town... not something to go out your way for but good enough to stop by and give them a try if you're passing by and hungry. read more

Burgers are delicious and prices are from a time when you could feed the whole family without taking out a small loan. Staff is polite and the place is always clean. read more

Ted's is NOWHERE NEAR Eastland. It's a stone's throw from McAlpine Park and the train bridge on Monroe Rd. That's about 8 miles from Central Ave at Sharon Amity and shutdown forever Eastland Mall. Don't say no to Teds thinking it is in the HOOD. It is not. If you like the big, greasy-delicious cheeseburger, hot fries, and sweet tea or soda, Teds is a place you must visit once in your lifetime and their fare is far reaching including great combos, BBQ, salads, pitas, sandwiches, and desserts including eclairs and baklava all made fresh on site. They sell tees and ball caps too if you want a souvenir. Located between a small strip center of Latino businesses and a tattoo parlor. Look for the big yellow sign. Inexpensive and delicious. Great little place and well maintained. Andale Andale....hurry. read more

This is a great local business to support. The staff is super nice and are more then willing to accommodate you. My husband and I occasionally stop in for bite. I love the friend chicken, fried squash and buttered rice. The meal comes with a soft, white, buttered roll. My husband always gets the super boy burger, which he loves. Ted's is definitely a greasy spoon restaurant, but perfect if you're in the mood for that. Sweet tea- Very sweet Fried squash- I call these golden nuggets of HEAVEN! Yes, they are that good! Desserts- They have a fridge of premade deserts e.g. baklava. read more

So we moved offices so goodbye Southend!! Hello Monroe :) !! We came into Ted's our first week at our new spot and have now made it over there at least twice a week! It's in a small shopping center but has been there forever! Walk up to the counter and order then take your seat and wait for it to be up ready! They have daily specials from a Grecian Chicken over Rice (get it with a Pita), Tenderloin Tips get a salad with Greek dressing sooo good, Chicken and Dumplings this is just to name a few. Ive had all of those but lately Ive been on a Gyro kick and let me just say that this is by far the best Gyro I've ever had!! I don't know what it is but the meat, the sauce, and the Pita make it all delicious!! The ladies behind the counter are super helpful and remember what you like no matter how many times you go in! read more
