Lunch was great. Home cooked and tasty. Had the tuna sandwich. The breakfast menu looked awesome. Will definitely go back for breakfast.

Delicious, low cost breakfast, in an island icon. The #1 breakfast at $4.25 is plenty of food at a great price. Have the #2 for $1 more if you're REALLY hungry.

We enjoyed our omelets at Ted's--the service was quick and food was tasty. It's not a fancy place but it's clean and comfortable.

Ted's is the place to go for a reasonably-priced traditional "diner" breakfast. Prices are comparable (or perhaps even lower) than at an I-Hop or Denny's. The waitresses are friendly locals.

Not fancy but good food. Known for their pecan pancakes. Place is part of the local history and mentioned in several books by a local author.

Coffee tasted like kerosene. Overcooked omelette with cheese slices that had barely begun to melt. Request for more water ignored. Big potato chunks that pass for hash browns not browned and barely warm.

This is a great place for breakfast...the food is very good. Nothing fancy in here...just tables and chairs...but the breakfast will hit the spot. A local favorite.

Been going to Ted's for years. Went there last week and it seems this is one of the places where time stands still. Some may call it a hole in the wall, some might call it the local greasy spoon. Whatever you call it call it good food. The Tuna sandwich with great, only place on the island to offer... More
