    Soooo Fresh and Delicious! This food is incredible! So many options and what we ate was truly amazing. I dug in too fast on the crab cake. Oh ‘Em Gee was it incredible! I just can’t imagine anyone being disappointed if this is the standard they maintain. Great service, timely prep and serve and perfectly food temp.

    Wow, amazing experience. Our server Allison was extremely attentive even though there were only two servers for the whole floor. The booth seating makes you feel like you are in your own world. The food is on another level. I had the Red Rock Bison burger it was juicy and flavorful in every bite. Cibatta bun was firm but very soft on the inside. Could not have asked for a better experience.

    An absolute must try. Do not pass on the bison, it’s so amazing. I had the bison burger, and my husband the bison steak and it was some of the best food we have had. The food was just the absolute best. The waitress we had was so friendly. They make a great drinks. Our entire friends group was impressed. They have great gluten free options. The parking was a bit difficult, but that’s to be expected with any downtown restaurant.

    LarderRoom...Just a few Bison Burgers & The Jalapeño Huckleberry Margarita at Teds before the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard show at Kemba Live! Excellent locations for pre-gaming. The house pickles are in a salty brine and absolutely refreshing. The Bison Burgers are lean and juicy! Did I mention the drinks are amazing! Lets not forget the staff, On Point! I will definitely be back to try the Bison Ribeye!

    Always great bison. My friend and my steaks were undercooked, so no problem, but we waited over 5 minutes for the bartender to check on us and fire them back up and there was only 1 other group eating at noon.

    We had a great meal at Ted's! Our server, Allison, was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We loved her! We had a bison bacon burger and a bison my strip, both perfect! We will definitely return!

    The Big Sky Grilled salad with bison was amazing! Our waiter Michael was very attentive and all the rest of the staff we encountered was very nice!

    Based on a recommendation, came here for dinner. Food experience: I will start off by saying, I wish I had been able to eat more. My god, the food was absolutely mouthwatering. Got onion rings as an appetizer. Me not being a huge fan of horseradish, I was hesitant about the sauce but it was pretty damn good. Only caveat, my SO and I ordered our bison burgers medium, they were a bit more well done than expected, HOWEVER, the burgers were still absolutely amazing. They tasted as juicy as you would want from a medium. I even tried my SO's burger which had blue cheese, me not liking blue cheese, still freaking loved it. It was a mild blue cheese and the other flavors of the burger just blended so well together that I would absolutely order that for myself. Service experience: From the moment we walk in, fantastic service. Greeted immediately and sat within seconds. Our waitress was beyond excellent! She was patient and attentive. Since I wasn't sure what I wanted she didn't make it feel like a hassle as I took time to deliberate. Extremely friendly and got everything in our order correct. The overall look of the restaurant was appealing and clean. Pricing: For our two bison burgers w/sides, two sodas, and our appetizer, it was just over $50 and honestly, worth every cent. I kinda expected it to be a little higher considering the overall quality of food. They do have things on the menu that can certainly make this a much more expensive dining experience but also cheaper options as well. I feel like they have enough options to allow for different income levels to come and have a great dinner, which means a lot to me. I will absolutely be back. THANK YOU!!!!

    Enjoy a beef steak, but would like to try the same cut in buffalo? Ted's is the "go to" place for either. The atmosphere is laid back and informal. Softly lit table-side, and no blaring music to overcome to talk. A nice venue for both lunch and dinner. Have eaten at a Ted's in Atlanta GA and Columbus OH. Very consistent. A visit years ago in Atlanta resulted in a less than satisfactory meal. I shared my displeasure with the manager. They gave me cards good in any Ted's location for a replacement meal of my choice. Not only for me but for the other 3 people in my party!

    We went before a home Blue Jackets game, and it was PACKED. They were awesome though. We were seated fairly quickly (we had reservations, which I HIGHLY recommend if there's an event nearby). Our server was great, the steaks were perfect and I was very full when we left!

    The food was great but the service was Excellent!!! I want to give this place 10 stars for the way our waiter and staff catered to my Awesomely Autistic son Nicholas. Our waiter made my son's first dining experience in Columbus , OH...THE ABSOLUTE BEST

    The entire experience of this restaurant was by far incredible. From the extremely helpful and friendly service to the exquisitely cooked food, I'd say this was the best burger place I've ever been to. It's been a long time since I've had a bison burger and they did not dissapoint. The entirety of the menu is fun and contains modern twists that you would not expect in your meal. If you are out in the Columbus area, you MUST give this place a try.

    I wish I could give a 4.5, but since I’m my heart I cannot give a 5, I must go with a 4. With a bar in an arena district with morning/noon events, opening at 11 am is not a good enough reason not to have a noteworthy Bloody Mary. It was at best underwhelming when compared to the rest of our order. I will say that the shared grilled shrimp starter was the best part of my meal - the lemon vinaigrette on the arugula made me want an entire plate of it to myself. I followed that up with the bison short ribs. Which were so incredibly tender that I was hooked. But the “buttered” carrots missed their turn in a heat source and failed to meet up with the butter friend that was supposed to get a ride. I’m not a mashed potato person unless they are out of this world - and these were just ok. I know I should have requested a substitution, but as a first visit I like to do as the menu recommends. A four star, won’t dissuade me from coming back - I still need to try a bison steak when I’m not rushing out the door to get to the arena. Next time Ted - imma want butter on my carrots.

    Perhaps the best food in town. The service is always top notch and, seriously, the food.

    Went to the Easton location for me and my wife’s anniversary. I made a reservation and showed up 15 minutes early and was still seated right away! We was told “Happy Anniversary” about 3 times in the hour or so we was there. That’s awesome. We was seated at a booth and I’m a bigger guy and couldn’t fit comfortably so we just asked to sit at the bar and they took us right on over. The bison nachos are amazing! (Forgot a photo) But dinner and our drinks were perrrfect 10/10!! This is our second year. We come every year for our anniversary and we plan to never stop coming back!

    I got a great ribeye and ordered and paid for a NY strip...can't beat that!

  • 3/5 Hayley S. 10 months ago on Google • 61 reviews
    THE FOOD WAS SPECTACULAR! BUT I can’t help but talk about a few things that should be addressed. We Reserved a table for a Family of 5 maybe 4 days prior. We was put in the very back table, closest to restrooms and kitchen. Very noisy (but so was my daughter), and had a different kind of weird smell that you don’t get walking in the front door. Our waiter didn’t seem to be too involved and didn’t wait very long for a response before leaving our table. There were flies or fruit flies all over the picture hanging over our table as well as the vents looked as if they Haven't been cleaned in over a year that was directly over our table as well. Most likely ate dust and nat seasoned bison, which turned out pretty good overall but it is pretty alarming.

    The atmosphere was nice and our server was very kind and attentive. The bison burger was also so delicious. Definitely get that, it’s worth the extra few dollars!

  • 5/5 Victoria B. 7 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    I will put it simply... You should definitely experience this restaurant! The food was so flavorful, our waitress was the kindest waitress I've ever had, and the atmosphere felt homey. We do not live local to Columbus, but this would be a restaurant I would love to eat at again!

  • 5/5 Bill B. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    My man & I came here tonight for a date night while visiting Columbus. He got the Beef Ribeye and I for the Bison Filet and they were both excellent!!! All the sides were delicious as well. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great meal. Service was great as well. Reservations are definitely recommended.

  • 5/5 Corey C. 2 years ago on Google
    This was me and my wife's 1st time in Columbus and we found Ted's on Google. I've been very particular due to a recent Gluten sensitivity, but when we called to ask about their options, they patiently explained a very thorough list of things they serve. After being greeted by the very courteous Taejon and given our drinks and signature cucumbers, we placed our orders and within 15 minutes were sinking our teeth into our meal. I ordered the Ted's Bacon Cheeseburger on a Gluten Free Bun. It was fantastic. The fries were also cooked in a separate fryer which made me and my stomach feel at ease. If you are in the downtown Columbus area, look this place up. Next time we come we'll try the Bison. I heard it is delicious.😊

  • 5/5 Robin M. 3 years ago on Google
    Everyone mentions the food first, but in this case I absolutely must mention the service first! Taylor is amazing and was everywhere! She never slowed down, but was pleasant and always had a smile on her face. Michael was our bartender and while extremely busy, he made sure to be attentive to us and make sure we always had what we needed. The Proprietor, Kate - I think the best thing about her other than her smile and cheerful disposition was her pride in both her restaurant and her staff. We both had bison burgers and as always they were perfectly cooked with great flavor! Kudos to the kitchen!!

  • 5/5 Juli A. 2 years ago on Google
    Went at the spur of the moment after talking about bison! I had the Delicious Duo with one of each of 3 oz. bison burger & Angus burger. SO GOOD!!!! I get mine well done and both were moist and juicy with just enough grill char 😋 The onion rings were seasoned well and were crispy. Staff was great, we were greeted when we came in, and our waiter was attentive. My favorite things about the decor were the big fake bison head and the old-timey mantle clock. Cool place overall and you can take a walk in the park next to the building after eating. 👍🏾

    Always delicious food and generous drinks. Tonight we tried something new and had the fish sandwich - Amazing! I didn’t have high hopes for the fish sandwich from a burger and steak place but it was terrific. We tried the fish so we didn’t burn our on the burgers. We were surprised at how fresh and tasty it was. The kale salad was perfect! Sorry that I didn’t get a picture, but if you’re going to a Crew, CBJ, Clippers, or a concert at Express Live or we Nationwide Arena, this is the best place visit before the show/game.

  • 5/5 Taurus99a 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love this place! My good friend and I have made this place an annual tradition every time we go to Origins Game Fair and this year was just as very good as it always is. Lovely, helpful staff and food that is too die for!

  • 5/5 Zach P. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was awesome. It’s just that simple. One of if not the best steak I’ve ever had.

  • 5/5 Andy F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff, great venue, great food, great drinks... See a pattern here? You can't go wrong, loved it and look forward to visiting again.

  • 5/5 Amelia T. 7 months ago on Google
    Our bartender, Melonie, was fantastic! We came a couple months ago and didn’t have a great experience decided to give it another shot and this time was phenomenal. I had the bison Delmonico and the Avalon both were great. The service was top tier both professional and personable. It was a very friendly and lively atmosphere. We will definitely return.

  • 4/5 Aimee C. 1 year ago on Google
    Salmon and onion rings were great but parm brocolli was cold and undercooked. Not worth complaining about a side. Cute place. Worth a try.

  • 5/5 Vincent L. 11 months ago on Google
    It is a warm and well-decorated place. Service was great. The bison meatloaf was chewy and tasty which amazing gravy. I love the gravy, highly recommended and perfect with meat and mashed potatoes.

  • 3/5 The A. 1 year ago on Google
    I got the Bison Nachos and the Bison Short Rib. The chili tasted pretty generic. Fast food chili has more flavor. At least the chips were crispy. The short rib had to be the smallest portion of meat on the menu. I was underwhelmed when it arrived, and it was kinda dry, but at least not tough, so I feel like I got the back end of the batch, but still, not a lot of meat to speak of. I won’t go back for those prices.

  • 5/5 Marsha G. 9 months ago on Google
    It has been a while since we ate here. If you are looking for a nice sit down restaurant close to local attractions in Columbus I would recommend to stop into Ted's we are big fans of the Bison.

  • 5/5 Jacob M. J. 2 years ago on Google
    Scrumptious dinner options, kind-hearted wait staff and delicious selection of drinks! The bison dishes are a must try. 🦬

  • 5/5 City G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was wonderful!!! Aside from their own unique flavorful items, out of the “old standbys” they still seem to make them their own! Go Bison 🦬 and go all the way!!! The meat is delicious and so juicy. When there I would recommend asking for Allison, she was delightful and so accommodating…. yet wasn’t trying to move you out of the table either. She had great suggestions for the menu too. Even though the restaurant is a chain, it’s not ALL OVER THE PLACE, and I thought the town’s that are lucky enough to have this place should be excited to share with friends and family 😍

    Overpriced and understaffed. Food quality is nowhere near what it should be for the prices. This place is very poorly managed.
