Severely disappointed

by bjhardesty at Citysearch

After calling the restaurant and asking if they could handle a party of 10 and waiting an hour and a half, half of our party was seated at one table and the other half at another table. The food served was not what we ordered and cold, the dishes were dirty, and one of the party had to wait 20 minutes for her meal after the rest of us were served. The waitress offered a free dessert and she decided we would all get half of a chocolate chip cookie.

• Pros: Good parking
• Cons: , loud, overcrowded

Families and large groups feast on hearty cuts and comfort food at this Rocky-Mountain style steakhouse.

In Short
Lots of mahogany, tin ceilings, metal crown molding and Arts and Crafts-style décor prevail at this casual, comfortable saloon, part of media mogul Ted Turner's domain. Beef and bison are king, and they're hand-cut on site. Other bites include beer-can chicken, bison prime rib and cedar planked salmon. For dessert, there's home-made cookies, Kahlua fudge brownies, Coke floats and strawberry shortcake.

Seated next to the restroom & waiters station! Poor planning

by sully503 at Citysearch

HAving a night alone without kids was going to be a treat. My husband & I wanted a quick bite at Ted's Montana Grill. After waiting over 45 minutes for a table we were led to a booth in the back of the restaurant next to the restroom & across from the waiters station. When I refused the table, the host seating us told us if we didn't like it too bad, there wouldn't be another table. We walked out....and will never return. If someone has to sit there at least shield it from view. I didn't want to watch people going in and out of the restroom all evening. Not a memorable dining experience.

• Cons: customers aren't important there

Not worth the buzz

by dhnoho at Citysearch

I was visiting Atlanta and this was on my list to try after all the rave reviews and I was very very disappointed. I had ordered the bison filet and it was the most bland steaks I have ever had they kept saying that seasonings are not needed well it needed something, Outback tastes better. Other dishes my dining mates were not so good were the bison burger, pecan crusted halibut was bland (she was vegetarian), fries were soggy, roasted chicken were so so, the kids had watered down mac n cheese and surprisingly the kids' salmon was not that bad (better than what the adults ate). The onion rings were ordinary. Try Boi the Brazilian Churrascaria, they have better meats. Oh and what's up with the no bread and butter????? Not worth the try although the place looked cool.

• Pros: Great location and good parking
• Cons: Bland, soggy and cold foods

Best Buger in town, beef or buffalo

by ma_the_meatloaf at Citysearch

Best Buger in town, beef or buffalo! The borax soap in the bathroom is cool. Old West Ambience is great, really cool bar. Blue plate specials are superb, try the meatloaf. Salt & Pepper onion rings are the best this side of the Varsity.

Hawaiian review a "winna" (winner)...

by gr8hitta12 at Citysearch

Being from Hawaii...I was truly impressed with the Domenico Ribeye beef that I

ordered and enjoyed at Ted's. This being my first dining experience at Ted's...and

my first trip to Aberdeen Ga., I could not help, but to frequent this restaurant 3 times

during a ten day period. It would have been more, but I was busy working also.

I will be back there in June 06, and will at least go back there another 3 - 4 times...The

service was great, employees cordial and friendly...Looking forward to returning...

• Pros: reasonable, friendly, clean

The Bomb Burger

by d_tansu_a at Citysearch

If you are a connoisseur of quality ground beef on a fresh bun-- and generously prepared, then this is the burger for you. It was the best I've had in years! Fresh-cut fries are a great change of pace. I will respond in advance to potential whiners-- fresh-cut are not particularly crispy, as any In-n-Out patron can tell you. Try them with some of Ted's excellent ranch dressing. Skip the bar on the way out though; they served me the most expensive miniature Long Island ever. Enjoy!

• Pros: Good Value

Yum!

by muckraker at Citysearch

The restaurant seems to be improving over time. The food is good, the fries must be Turner's interpretation, because I've never found them anything but slightly soggy, despite being freshly hand cut . . .

• Pros: beef & bison, unique theme
• Cons: fries

Disappointment at Ted's

by c_nash at Citysearch

From the moment we sat down it was trouble. It was 9:15 pm and the waitress, appearing with trainee took over ten minutes to welcome our table of four in a half empty restaurant. Drinks took twenty minutes to arrive. Thirty minutes for dinner. Restauarant almost empty. Did they send the chef home? We finished in ten minutes and did not stay for dessert. Salmon came with stone cold grean beans and room temp mashed potatoes. Fries cold. Bread came as we finished last bite. Chocolate shake cloyingly sweet, like the ineffective and poorly trained staff. Manager cowered in the back and hid from guests. What a disppointment. Ted your never going to make your money back.

• Pros: location, price
• Cons: slow service, disorganized, mismanaged
