ted's bulletin

you have to be a flaming moron to not enjoy this place. from the fresh baked smell that welcomes you at the door, to the friendly service, to the food - you can't go wrong here. there's plenty of "down" time when there's no wait - so if there is a line out the door is just come another time. i had the 10oz steak and it more than met my expectations. do not leave without a ted's tart - even if you're too full and must take it to go. i challenge you to find ahomemadepop tart any where else.

excellent experience!!. this place is great! the food ishomemadeand the portions generous. the menu is not extensive, but there is plenty to choose from especially with breakfast being served all day. on the downside, the dining room is noisy. it’s an open space with about 30 booths, so there is nothing to stop or deaden the sound. if you are looking for a quiet intimate experience, look elsewhere. i feel compelled to address the poptarts since it’s a signature item. they are more-so filled rich shortbread cookies than the traditional poptart. that’s not necessarily a bad thing considering it’s a delicious huge filled cookie...it’s not a poptart.

plenty of food and it was very good. the pop tarts arehomemadeand extremely good. we had brunch on a saturday and it was very crowded, so plan accordingly.

awesome place to grab breakfast!  everything was perfectly done.  we also ordered somehomemadepop tarts to go.  i highly recommend the cinnamon brown sugar ones, they are amazing!!

clever art deco and a fun take on classic american. grade: b+

ted's bulletin grabbed our attention from the outside. the menu in the window in this mosaic district eatery was filled with traditional american favorites presented with a playful twist, such ashomemadepop tarts, a menu full of milkshakes, and a sunday pasta special with "meatballs as big as your head".
booths are spacious and offer a bit of privacy, although there is a bit of a din that can make it a bit hard to hear. art deco lamps and pseudo-antique tvs on the wall - complete with foil-wrapped bunny ear antennas - add to the appealing style of the interior.
everything looks potentially good, from the anytime breakfast choices to sandwiches, salads, and entrees. nightly specials include pot pie (monday), tv dinner (thursday), prime rib (friday-saturday), and family style pasta on sunday. the salad dressing choices include the old school classic, a creamy garlic and herb green goddess.
the pasta special was a huge bowl with huge, moist meatballs that include italian sausage, overcooked spaghetti and a good red sauce, and thick pieces of garlic toast.
most pleasantly surprisingly was the reasonable, non-dc prices. we loved ted's and can't wait to try them for breakfast.

i opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling of the hotel room.  in my early morning pre-coffee grogginess one thought immediately entered my mind,homemadepop tarts. i showered, drafted mason as a dining companion, and left the girls to lazily lounger about while we caught a cab to ted’s bulletin. the restaurant is located near capitol hill at 508 8th street se, and after handing the cabbie the fare we entered the bricked fronted building.  the restaurant is divided into two sections, the front bar areas had a couple of small tables anchored against the wall.  past the hostess stand and through a doorway was the main dining room.  behind this was the kitchen.  i loved the art deco style of the restaurant and learned it had been constructed of pieces salvaged from the old philadelphia convention and civic center that was built in the 1930s. as atmosphere goes, ted’s was top notch. we took a seat at a table for two towards the front of the restaurant.  the bartender came over, introduced

always enjoyable. been to ted's a few times for breakfast. the i have had french toast a million times but i find their french toast surprisingly good. theirhomemadecorned beef hash is also one of my favorites.

burger was good. handcut fries were good. milkshakes good.homemadepop tarts excellent. great place to try. it was a little noisy in the inside.

good food and good service. i was looking for something unique near the hill and this was a good recommendation. the chicken fried steak was great but the line of adult milkshakes andhomemadepop-tarts sealed it for me.

news! news! we love ted's!. wow. just wow. from the miraculous interior salvaged from a philadelphia civic center, to the great diner-ware, to the fabulously friendly service, ted's bulletin seduced us in short order. pancakes were good (if a little chewy--don't overwork the batter, ok?), the sausage was amazing (sweet, then really spicy, then mmmmmm), and the hashbrowns shockingly crunchy and creamy at the same time. wondrous.

the only complaint: the biscuits and thehomemadepoptarts were bone dry, stealing most of the anticipated enjoyment from them. i know the biscuits went with the sausage gravy (nice!) but they were dry like the sahara and about as absorbant as linoleum. it was ok but with a serving of 4 biscuits--oooof--it was too much dryness. same with the poptarts: crumbly, not flaky; granular, not pastry-like.

small, tiny, minor issues: this place knows exactly who it is and its clientele. we plan on coming back!

as i mentioned earlier, i was intent on having ahomemadepop-tart. at $2.99, that is quite a tack onto your bill, but if you’ve never had one, you must. plain and simple. once you have one, you will never ever buy a store-bought one again. the pop-tart crust was some of the best pastry i’ve ever had in a restaurant. i've also heard so much of their milkshakes (also available with adult ingredients) and when asked if i'd like one, i had to decline. the spirit was willing, but the belly was full and splitting. maybe next time.

homemade pop-tarts. this place does a delicious breakfast and the concept is really creative. definitely try thehomemadepop-tarts.

thehomemadepop tarts in the window of ted's bulletin. ted's bulletin is a new creation from the masterminds behind matchbox . located on 8th st. in the barracks row neighborhood, ted's gets its name from the owners' father and is themed to the hilt. it feels like disney imagineers had a hand in the design. it is border-line cheesy--totally over the top--but i loved the newspaper menus, old movies playing in black and white, and restrooms fashioned after streetcar station offices. b and i made our way to

the wait for a table at ted's bulletin was nearly hour, and all i wanted on that rainy, hung-over sunday morning was some comfort food. so we waited. and stared at the milkshake machine and thehomemadefrosted pop tarts behind the retro counter. what is this place? have i stepped into a 1940s diner? why is everyone so happy ? i nipped to the restroom to clear my head and nearly ran into a woman who was smiling and gazing at all the old black-and-white photos on the walls of the hallway. "that's my dad the

french toast is ok, but what you really need is ted'shomemadepop tart. next time i'll try thehomemadetwinkie.
