ted's montana grill

excellent. this restaurant.... excellent.
this restaurant offers a unique product. if you want to experience bison this is the place. i travel a lot and ground bison product is easy to find. but it seems rare to find steaks.
i had the demonico ribeye. yes it was $30. and it was on the rare side of medium rare. but this turned out to be perfect for this very lean meat. it was not heavily seasoned and had the texture of filet. the taste is distinct mild and surprisingly refined. i enjoyed it immensely. for sides i chose the kale salad and asparagus. both were perfect. the kale was young not tough or bitter and seasoned with a vinaigrette like corn salad.
i have no complaints at all. my server joe was outstanding.

where to start!?!?! this place is awesome!! great food, great atmosphere and extremely friendly service. being from out of state, i will definitely make a trip to ted's next time i visit tallahassee.

another tally chain restaurant. what is it with tallhassee and the myriad chain restaurants? this city is a dining black hole. anyway, ted's is upscale fora chain. i've had their steaks before and they are good. my only complaint is the burgers are over priced at $12 to $14. they would be reasonably priced at $8 to $9.

well ted, you did it again. two nights in a row and the burgers were awesome! i will caution you that the meat comes rarer than expected so order accordingly. good tasting beef, even to a south dakota boy! prices were decent also.

decided to eat here on long trip home. figured it would be nice break from fast food and off peak eating time. ended being not bad but not great. it was not busy so a little perturbed on some points. we ordered house salad - which looked good upon arrival but had to dig out a lot of brown and some less desirable lettuce. we both ordered sandwiches . my wife ordered grilled hamburger medium. it came out cooked correctly and all tasted good. she ordered onion rings and they were ok not impressive. i ordered grilled chicken. which was a very thin breast that was slightly over cooked. it appears they cooked my fries before my sandwich and they were barely warm upon food delivery. so my meal ended up being so- so. with only three customers inside i would have expected a little more care in the cooking but we got the opposite. i may give it one more shot on another trip and see what happens. waitress did her part well though.

great food!

after such a filling plate of bison and mashed potatoes, i thought i was too full for dessert. then, our waiter, grady, explained the strawberry shortcake. it’s a southern-style dessert with a sweet and crispy biscuit cut in half and stacked with two scoops of vanilla ice cream and topped with strawberries and house-made whipped cream. there was nothing short about this dessert.

came here after my little brother's graduation. possibly the most amazing bison burger i've ever had. and my uncle raises buffalo, so i've had them fresh. my brother even liked it. and he likes no restaurants we go to.

great experience at this location, joe was our waiter! we had a party of 14, and the service was impeccable...

we visit ted's for special events. it isn't inexpensive, but the food is excellent. the bison nachos is always our appetizer of choice. the kids love the bison burgers.

u must try the bbq bison burger with onion rings on the side!!!!! hamburger heaven!!!!

why in this economy with so many restaurants closing does this mediocre one survive?. i have been going to ted's two or three times a year for many years. originally, the bison burgers (unique several years ago but now a lot more available) were the draw -- and the pickle - oh yes, the pickles. (tonight we had to ask for them though. they were not automatically brought to the table and they were not refilled.)

however, that novelty soon wore off and i think the food has gone downhill - at the several locations i've tried.

tonight was no exception. my family is always the one going on someone else's suggestion to enjoy the other person's/people's company because i'd never choose ted's.

memorial day eve (sunday) - raining - but place was still packed with an hour's wait being quoted by the host/hostess. because we were a party of six, we had called ahead and therefore, our wait was reduced to only about 35 minutes.

we were seated and in all honesty, the waiter was really good. a mature man with a good "tableside manner" and effective. however, that couldn't overcome the issues with the food and the restaurant, in general.

we placed our order at about 6:45 - not 10 pm. however, several of the main course items were already sold out, including the turkey, the crab cake, etc. we then ordered anyway, including a couple of the children's meals. the waiter had to return to our table to tell us that the mac & cheese that a friend had ordered for her son was also sold out. this is all the child eats from that menu. how do you run out of one of the most popular children's items before 7 pm? for goodness sake!

food arrived slowly - in snippets and, with the exception of the fries, was pretty tasteless. my girls had some sliders and i tasted them -- concluding they must have grilled up some cardboard (maybe they ran out of ground beef too but were afraid of the mutiny that would ensue from customers who had waited an hour for a burger.)

i ordered a chopped salad. $10 or $11 for a bowl of way too wet iceberg and some embellishments. what - no salad spinners at ted's?

the shake we'd ordered for the three kids to split had sat on the bar for so long (ordered when we sat down but delivered when we were half way through dinner) that it was separated and odd . . . . my daughter, a chocoholic, refused it. that should be testimony enough.

i don't know but for my money, there are so many better options. i know i'm in the minority, given the crowds (although there was also a $10 coupon in the val-pak recently and lots of people were waving them tonight to pay down some of their checks) and the opening of more and more ted's.

outstanding. this was my second time here and it was as delicious as the first! the service is excellent, and the food is amazing. the burgers, both beef and bison are absolutely amazing. tender, juicy, never mealy or dry, perfectly seasoned. the varieties are so awesome that it makes it hard to decide what to get! if you like iceberg wedges, ted's makes the best iceberg wedge in town! perfectly crisp and smokey bacon pieces, nicely ripened tomato chunks, crispy iceberg and a really good blue cheese dressing-simple and delicious. no one makes a wedge as good as ted's. i definitely recommend this place-it is awesome!

fine dining???. surely, you jest. ted's is as far from fine dining as tallahassee is from montana. it is overpriced ....try $15-20 for a blue plate special. and the hamburgers are greasy and fall apart; impossible to eat.

a few menu items are delicious, bit most are just average and overpriced. caesar's salad was awful. take it off the menu if you can't buy fresh greens. bison has an interesting texture, but they obviously really on heavy spices to make it palatable. good for out of town guests, but not a regular spot for locals until they improve basic menu options.
