Ted's Bulletin - Noma

This was my first time visiting Washington, D.C., and I randomly chose a local restaurant to dine at. The service and the food were absolutely amazing! The waitress was incredibly warm and friendly. Since I wasn’t sure what to order, I asked her for recommendations—and they turned out to be perfect. As a visitor, this made me really happy. The steak and the beef soup were both delicious. I would definitely come back again next time. Thank you so much!

This is my second time at Ted’s and this location. The first time was for our honeymoon and this next time was for our anniversary. We loved it so much the first time we had to come back. The calamari is IMMACULATE! The food is always amazing. The service is always amazing. No reservation was needed because it was a weekday but I do recommend setting a reservation up anyway. Absolutely amazing again and thank you everyone !

In general I despise American food. Especially, no Southern America food. However, Ted's gets 5 stars because of the bathrooms. The food was alright. But the bathrooms, when you've got a toddler and an infant made all the difference. So while the food was basic fair, the facilities make this a place i will return too. That and the customer service. Cause you know how I feel when youre nice to my kids.

Quinn was an amazing server who was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and its popular dishes. When I say incredibly attentive, an example would be when she was about to approach my partner and I at our table but she saw him flip a page and knew that we weren’t ready. It’s small details like that where it can make a dinner all the more better. We gave her a tip and I hope she gets more. As for the atmosphere, it was amazing! Music was at the right volume, where we were able to have a conversation at a normal volume while being able to enjoy the music. Additionally, whoever was on that aux on the night of the 27th, also deserve their round of applause. Lastly, food was amazing and I believe reasonably priced. I’m not from the area but if I were a local, I’d definitely be a regular!

The restaurant is gorgeous!! The staff was all pleasant and helpful. The turnover of tables were fast and efficient making the wait time super fast. The food was delicious!!! It was so good we went back the next day. The experience continued to be amazing. I can’t wait to return to DC for Ted’s!

Long day playing tourist. Staying in NoMa... Great spot! Happy Hour was a blast. That happy hour chicken and fries were delish. Cocktails are creative and tasty. Burger was the star IMO. Would visit again! Great service. Fun vibe.

The single best breakfast meal I’ve ever had. Steak & Eggs with home fries. Truly the breakfast of champions! I have been a loyal customer to Ted’s Bulletin over the years back when they only had one location. One of the best places in D.C. to go for real food.

This place exceeded my expectations. The waiter was super nice and gave us the time we needed and answered our questions quickly. The food was delicious and filling. I got the Greek salad with salmon on top and the $9 for the salmon was worth it. Aside from that, the place is clean and well designed.

I visited Ted's Bulletin in December 2025 for brunch with two colleagues, and the experience at the NoMa location was phenomenal. I've been to the U Street/14th Street location before, but this one is by far my favorite. The ambiance, aesthetic, and overall layout are modern, cute, sexy, and elevated. I absolutely love the bar space -- it adds such a great touch to the atmosphere. Our server was extremely accommodating and gave us wonderful recommendations, including the viral cinnamon roll -- which is an absolute must-order. Yes, you have to get it. It did not disappoint. Our appetizers were delicious, my entrée was really good, and overall the experience was seamless and enjoyable. I would definitely return to this location again and am already planning to be back in 2026. Highly recommend.

This has quickly become one of my go to places in DC NoMa. It's not enough to call it "upscale American diner fare," because it's more than that. They take old fashioned comfort foods up a couple notches. It's not easy to make chicken and waffles "fancy," but they pull it off. Not a place I'd go if you're doing a low carb diet, because you're going to see Steak & Cheese Egg Rolls and Loaded Tots on the menu and blow a week of points. And it's totally worth it! Both are delish! Also went shrimp tacos - fresh, light flavors and stuffed full. Three in an order was way more than enough. Since I was in deep already, may as well take down the Bourbon Pecan Pie. The usually dense center was surprisingly crumbly and fluffy while still packing the pecan punch. Nice! Service was attentive and friendly. They were busy but seated us on time for our Open Table reso. I'll be back!

Amazing brunch! Our server Jaiden was lovely. She was very knowledgeable, all of her recommendations were a 10/10. The mimosa kit comes with delicious champagne , the gin and juice cocktail was so strong . I would go back just for that cocktail! The cinnamon roll was as big as my head. So hot, delicious, and can pour however much icing you'd like. A must try, but remember it's large. We split between 4 ppl. A delicious sweet treat after our meal! I "made my own mark" breakfast combo with their Virginian ham, bomb.com and not too salty. Id def order my hashbrowns crispy next visit. Thanks for everything Jaiden. Good luck at Howard

My partner and I made our way into Ted's Bulletin on a (holiday) Monday for brunch. It was busy but only about a 15 minute wait. Our server was kind/efficient and gave us some recommendations. We got the cinnamon roll to split - I wasn't expecting it to be that big - but it was so delicious and we loved it. I got the Turkish eggs for my meal and they were delightful. Everything was cooked well. The cold brew was OK - I felt like it was a bit too bitter but I did enjoy the hazelnut syrup. My biggest issue was our seating. We were sat at a small high top that I felt like was more fitting for the cafe section than dining. It was really hard for us to be able to have the cinnamon roll appetizer and our meals.

An elevated casual experience. Honestly the best deviled eggs I have ever had. All the classics but an updated, high quality version. Good in a pinch - but on the weekends, make a reservation if you can!

This particular location is absolutely my favorite for the ambiance alone. They were easily able to accommodate my group and we had an excellent server that attended to all of our questions and dietary needs. Three things that I will never skip at Ted's Bulletin: devilled eggs, fried cornbread, and Ted's tarts. Each one is very well executed and a crowd pleaser every time. My fellow diners enjoyed a variety of dishes, but the short rib stroganoff was definitely a standout. Everyone certainly left full and happy. A few had shakes to go, which might have been the least exciting thing, but it was an overall satisfying meal. Go! Take a date, bring a friend or colleague. You won't be disappointed.

Food was excellent! We did the French toast and Big Breakfast! Service was excellent! The atmosphere is good, this is my second time here and it all about the other customers and our energy.

Absolutely amazing. Service by Luke was great, atmosphere was relaxing, & the food was wonderful as was the lattes. Expansive menu. The shredded hash browns made me so happy! You don't see them many places. Everything was perfect. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in D.C.

We had a reservation. I lucked out and got parking right outside. I liked the comfortable seating at the table, they had high chairs available, and the decor has an upscale look. I enjoyed my meal, they have an affordable children's menu, and they brought out a tart for my birthday. It was a good time.

Great crowd for Happy Hour! I had soup and cornbread to start, then the HH nuggets meal for my entree. It was a really good value for the quality of the food and the ambiance was also nice. I want to come back for the breakfast items.

The food was great as always...but the only problem was my hash browns were missing..after walking back through the snow. Change clothes and unpack the food and hash browns were not there it was too late to get dress and go back.well I gave up my Ted Tart..just to keep the peace..its my own fault for not checking the bag better and I think I ordered correctly.. My receipt # ed009808

Not enough chorizo to egg ratio. Good portion size for the price (18$) with perfect hash browns but a bit too much tomato's. Overall for the food: 4/5. Atmosphere is upscale. Different from the other eight locations, which is more dressdown.. 4/5 because the expectation was that it's more casual than formal without the advertising of it being formal. Service is a 5/5. Tentative, friendly, clear, concise great. Overall 4/5. Atmosphere clarity and just a little bit better balance on the food ingredients this place could be a five out of five.

We went for breakfast because it was right down the street from our hotel and it was certainly worth the walk through the freezing cold! Service was extremely quick and very friendly, even when they were already pretty busy by 9am on a Saturday. I am a HUGE fan of biscuits and gravy and that was probably the best that I've ever had!

Perfect place for brunch with friends or family. Perfect food and atmosphere to sit down for a nice meal and conversation. Service staff are always great and kind. Also worth trying their to-go options at their cafe, their breakfast egg sandwich is the perfect way to start your morning along with a cup of coffee.

A solid breakfast joint that is still relatively new to the area. Friendly service and relatively affordable (given the high-end area). I definitely recommend the hash browns and the biscuits and gravy were okay.

Amazing place to have a second reunion with Melina! Good breakfast all day options as well as solid sandwiches. Love the vibes for brunch

This restaurant was a walking distance from our hotel which was really convenient. It has a spacious and inviting entrance and the hosts were pleasant and immediately sat us at a table for two. You can immediately tell the place was busy on a Friday afternoon. Lots of conversations happening at various tables but noise level was bearable. Our server, Christa S., informed us that we had 7 minutes to put in our order for their Happy Hour specials. That was really nice of her to prompt us so we can get $3 off Starters. We enjoyed the Jalapeño Popper Wonton which was served with cilantro lime ranch and the Crispy Calamari with pepperoncini aioli. Their menu had a lot of good things to offer. I decided to try their Avocado Toast with a generous portion of smoked salmon. It was like comfort food for me with two poached eggs that came with two sizeable slices of sourdough bread with smashed avocado, cherry tomatoes, radish, pickled chiles, fried garlic, microgreens and cilantro tossed in lime juice. I had unflavored Iced Tea and Christa provided me a refill. My friend had the Ted's Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken. The salad came with a good amount of bacon lardons, tomato, deviled eggs, pickled onions, avocado, gorgonzola cheese on a bed of lettuce and cilantro lime ranch dressing on the side. We will definitely be back!

My Norway Benedict was gooey and crispy, with the salmon nicely smoked and pleasantly chewy. The tea I ordered wasn't very flavorful, so I asked for a spiced tea to better match my taste for chai. I was a bit disappointed, but I'm sure the other drinks are delicious. My friend had a turmeric and ginger juice that had a vibrant, colorful glow. The service was fast and smooth.

When we arrived for our lunch reservation, the hostess greeted us immediately upon entering the restaurant. The ambiance inside was elegant yet dimly lit. Since it was a perfect day for outdoor dining, we requested a table outside. The outdoor seating area was crowded; however, we were seated at a table at the far end of the patio. Our waiter took our beverage order, and we chose bottled water for the table. He returned promptly with the water, and we then placed our food order, which included tacos with Mexican street corn, a grilled chicken wrap, and truffle fries. The food arrived quickly, within ten minutes or less, and everything looked amazing. The tacos were flavorful, fully assembled, and required no additional toppings. While the street corn had the typical flavor, I found it to be quite soupy. The consistency was not what I expected, but the taste remained unaffected. The grilled chicken wrap was perfect, and the fries were well-cooked and seasoned with truffle oil. Our waiter was efficient but not very interactive. He took our orders, checked in on us once, cleared the table, and brought the check. Overall, it was a good experience. I appreciated the location; the restaurant was nice, and parking was convenient.

Decided to stop by for happy hour. I was saddened to learn that the $10 burger and fries was no longer a thing. So, I instead tried the szechuan chicken. It was pretty good. I don't know if it is always this way, but the fried chicken tasted a bit burnt, almost like it was fried in dirty oil, but besides that it was still tasty and edible. I liked it, it had a good amount of kick to it. I also order the fried mac and cheese which was nice. It came on a platter of marinara sauce. The sauce was a little warm, I wish it was hotter. But they were still good.

Wow! What a place, service, plates, ambiance, value; LOVED IT! Menu is extensive thus they have something for everyone. Everything I tried was delicious flavor and visually fantastic. My server Jack was spot on. Checking in frequently in a friendly way. Never skipped a beat on needs. Superb service. Great location in NOMA area.

I recently got the chance to go to Ted's bulletin in Noma with a close friend and I loved it. We haven't caught up in a while, so it was a good time catch up over some great food. The big Mark breakfast was very filling and had everything I could see in a breakfast. If it had a pancake that would've put it over the edge, but it was perfect. Look forward to going back.

We were seated right away for our reservation. Beautifully decorated space. Our waitress (starts with G) washed super friendly and so efficient. She took our drink orders and suggested the cinnamon roll. What a great suggestion! Next came our entrees and everything was delicious. Eggs perfectly poached, potatoes golden and crispy. This meal was the perfect start to a day sightseeing in the District.

After they asked me to call about this bad experience, the lady that answered the phone said that they were too busy to discuss the experience! They would "get back to me later". A lot of noise in the background during Monday mid day so clearly I am correct about it being loud and hectic there. Not my jam. Since they don't have the time for my family and I, I don't have the time for them. I wouldn't have called if I didn't still have interest in going to a Ted's. Poor management and staff training here clearly. It's clear that "customer S" is just a random person that doesn't really have an organized system to manage diner's issues while communicating with them. You basically have to talk to a random employee on the phone, then a random manager on duty at the time, and no real policy for handling complaints other than liking like they care online. No way to reach corporate beyond starting another random email thread that probably goes no where. Skip this location unless you care for busy atmosphere and bad training and management while dining. Too bad my favorite breakfast in dc is so poorly managed but give up.

I popped in for happy hour, which is a great deal--$7 glasses of wine, similar price for other beverages, $3 off bites--and sat at the bar. It's a very cozy setting. I usually sit in the patio but it was a chilly day. I was told that they were soon getting heat lamps for those who live an outdoor spot. I was immediately approached by the bartended and served quickly. I was checked on frequently and my entree order was just perfect for the windy day. The grilled cheese was served so warm and hot, and the tomato soup complimented it perfectly. Very delicious and recommended!!

Food was good. Stay away from the tarts - too much sweet stuff on top and the dough is too thin for the pastry. I sat at the bar and I totally understand staff that works behind the bar is extremely busy, however the server watched as I struggle to refill my coffee. It spilled on my hand, and he did not respond - he watched and walked away. Grateful I was not seriously burned just a minor inconvenience but was expecting a bit more care without having to request it, just check in from the server would have been sufficient. The atmosphere was sweet, good music and high energy. Overall it was cool, still left an okay tip,I just had an unfortunate experience with the person who waited on me.

Back again for dinner. Yesterday I reviewed this establishment for breakfast and rated it 4. I decided to try it for dinner today. After being seated promptly, I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was happy hour. At first glance, $10 burger and fry combo seemed like a great deal. I ordered it along with the side salad with avocado vinegarette. First of all, salad was delicious. Dressing was great and croutons were crunchy. Burger came and it knocked my socks off. Double patty with some of the most delicious fries I've had. The value you get for a $10 special is second to none. I will be back for sure for this special.

Great brunch at Ted's, very good service. Great case of pastries at a good price. Obsessed with their seasonal apple poptart! Didn't love my breakfast burrito, hard to eat and just okay. Hashbrowns were good. Upscale ambiance, very nice spot!

This is a solid Ted's location. We arrived as a group for lunch and were seated immediately upon arrival. I believe someone from the group made a reservation on our behalf, but there was a little bit of a weekday lunch rush, so would recommend a reservation if you can. Especially given how close it is to the hill and offices. We ordered many dishes to share as a group and they were all great! Special shout out to the Mac and cheese (great portion and taste), steak and fries, and the Confit Shiitake Hash. But you can't go wrong with the menu. And of course, we also had a few Ted's tarts all of which were delicious. Service was also super great and efficient. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

I was craving brunch and a bloody Mary!! One of my favorite brunch items is the salmon Benedict! We came on a Friday morning around 10:30 AM with Lil to no weight at all. Our server was knowledgeable, and courteous to us while accommodating my husband's many changes to his order. It got pretty busy however, the flow of the restaurant remained calm, cool and collected. At least two general managers approached us to ask how our dining experience was going, and I appreciated that. I love the spin off to the traditional Benedict. Because I like to eat gluten-free, I enjoyed the Benedict with hash brown instead of English muffin. My egg was poached perfectly, some restaurants get this wrong often. My husband was so full he couldn't finish his food at all. He ordered the chicken biscuits which were fried and seasoned perfectly. The biscuits were fluffy and delicious along with the pancakes. Our matching bloody Marys were the perfect addition to complete our meal! L We live in California but we will return!!

I am a " frequent flyer " you can say for Ted's Bulletin as I go often because it is located right across the street from my office. The service is always fast because I normally place my order online with Toast. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, bur big enough to host larger parties from an office meeting to after-work happy hour if needed. I often by the strawberry matcha which is not too sweet and the staff allow you to choose from a variety of milk substitutions. Today I tried their new Szechuan hot chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, but really oily. So oily that the french fries were soaked as well. The cabbage mixed on top provided a nice cooling sensation as well. And I always finish their meals with one of their famous tarts. You can never go wrong with the strawberry flavor.

I cannot emphasize enough how DELICIOUS this food was. My boyfriend and I LOVED what we had. We literally refused to leave a crumb on the plate even though we were stuffed! The presentation of the dishes was also great. Decor was super snazzy and cozy. Loved it. Also, they had some great songs playing!! Loved that too. I only removed a star because our waitress wasn't very nice. Hostess and manager were very kind though. Def coming back.

Definitely my go-to brunch spot! This was my third time at Ted's Bulletin and everything was delicious (as always)! The service is quick without feeling rushed, the coffee drinks (did someone say Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte?) are delicious, and the food is a great mix of brunch classics at their best. And the serving sizes are liberal so I always get to take home left overs Can't wait to go back!

Great food! From the coffee to the cinnamon roll, which was HUGE! Enough for a table of 4 to share. I highly recommend the crab crakes. Great service from our waitress. We sat outside on a chilly day, personal mistake lol. On a warmer day, it would have been perfect. I'll definitely be back on trips to DC & maybe try inside or at the bar.

Ted's food was amazing the service was great also because my family was seated in well lit area plus our waiter was very good at checking on our table to see if we were OK Thanks You and we will be back.

This spot is so delicious. The raspberry Bellini is 10/10. The apple tart tasted like a combo of a toaster streusel and an apple pie, and I would definitely order it again. The entrees were also delicious. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well. Definitely recommend stopping by this place for brunch!

We had a fantastic breakfast at Ted's Bulletin! Our party of 7 walked in at 9 AM and were seated right away with no wait, which was a great start. Our hotel was just a quick 10-minute drive away making it super convenient. From the moment we walked in, the hostess and server were both warm and welcoming setting a great tone for our meal. The breakfast menu had so many great options that it was hard to choose! I had a cappuccino which was delicious and shared breakfast with the hubs. The highlight? Their homemade pop tart was absolute perfection! One thing I loved is that breakfast is served all day, so you can enjoy it anytime. My kids, however, had other plans and chose pasta from the kids' menu for breakfast--because why not? The vibe was cozy and inviting making it a spot I'd definitely visit again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great breakfast in the area!

This place is amazing, love the atmosphere, love the menu, love the amazing food. I enjoyed the Steak and Eggs over easy to drink I enjoyed a warm chai tea with cinnamon. Everything was brought to table in reasonable time and waiters were on point with service. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives and or is visiting DC.

The avocado toast was absolutely amazing! Super tasty, the fresh herbs made the toast stand out and the Avacado was super creamy. The smoked salmon was a perfect addition, I'd literally continue to come back here to order this again for breakfast!

First off, the ambiance of this Ted's was gorgeous. However, I'm super perturbed that there was a service charge added to my bill and I wasn't notified when I signed it (it was done on a handheld machine, and they didn't give me a read out and I felt weird asking). Now for the food. The almond latte was delicious, and for brunch I got the chicken and biscuits and sausage gravy. The fried chicken was delicious, as was the biscuit. The gravy tasted good too but was a bit salty. I loved the hash browns- they were crispy and good. For dessert I shared the Cinnabon bun with some friends. Yes, it was large and looked really cool on the table but I was actually disappointed with it. I found it kind of dry. I'd try this spot out again for the ambiance, fried chicken, and latte. Don't forget to make a reservation!!

The food at Ted's Bulletin was delicious and the mimosas were on point. Once we moved to the bar, the service was top tier... friendly, fast, and really made the experience worth it. Only downside was the initial seating situation. We asked for a more secluded table but were told that section was for large parties, then placed in a tight area with people right on top of each other. We decided to switch to the bar, and honestly, that's where the vibe was. I'd definitely come back, just heading straight to the bar next time.

Ted's is always great for lunch. Every dish I've tried it has never disappointed. Today I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and it was delicious. The wrap was packed and very flavorful. Ted's customer service and atmosphere is always top tier and I will continue to visit.

We had a great business dinner here. The space wasn't too loud despite being full, which allowed us to hold a productive conversation without yelling or reserving a private space. The food, especially the Green Goddess Salad, was light and fresh, and the addition of the grilled chicken made the dish complete. The seasonal house "tart" crumbled in the mouth without falling apart en route, and the fruit to wrapper ratio was perfect. The service was prompt, friendly, and efficient without being intrusive. I definitely need to come back for the boozy milkshakes...

This location is VIBEZ! The ambiance is always a mood! The noise levels aren't too high. The staff is attentive and welcoming (depending on the day) and the food was great per usual! There's always space at the bar and available seating! This is my neighborhood location so I'll definitely be going back! The capital hill and 14th street locations are terrible so I'm glad this one opened and is doing a great job!

Service is always so kind, and I have yet to eat something I don't like (and I'm always so impressed with serving sizes- the s'mores milkshake pictured here is one shake split into two glasses!). And I love love love all their baked goods! It gets busy in here so you may want to make a reservation.

The food was awesome and the service was amazing!! We went as a group and everyone was satisfied.

Ted's Bulletin is my all time favorite breakfast and brunch spot in the city. Great food and service at reasonable prices. Looking forward to my next meal there!

Happy to see some newer options open up in NoMa. Its located very close to the metro stop and easily walkable from most of the nearby offices. Inside it looks like every other Ted's and the menu is exactly the same too. The pop tarts remain my favorite menu item, no matter which Ted's I go to. The food was decent as always- had the fried chicken salad this time and it was fine, but certainly could have used more seasoning for fried chicken. The service could have been better- not that friendly, nonexistent at times, and the food was very slow to arrive. Hopefully things improve as it is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Ted's was a great experience. Very attentive staff even with as busy as it was! They made sure I had everything I needed and checked to see if I had any issues with food or anything. Modern restaurant and very clean! Food was amazing lobster bisque that had plenty of chunks of lobster, and a the chicken Caesar wrap was enormous and flavorful! Very good!
