Ted’s Hot Dogs has defined Buffalo’s hot dog tradition for over 90 years, earning accolades from The New York Times and Food & Wine for its classic charcoal-grilled Sahlen’s hot dogs, snappy casing, and smoky flavor. Every order is finished over real hardwood charcoal, giving each bite a signature char, while the locally beloved loganberry drink and hand-cut fries round out the experience. Despite its status as a local icon, Ted’s remains a family-owned business, drawing generations of fans from Buffalo and beyond.
