Where to Sip Indulgent Milkshakes Around D.C. | Eater DC

"Ted’s Bulletin is one of the most reliably good milkshake spots in the District. With eight milkshake flavors and almost as many boozy options to choose from, there is no reason not to tack a s’mores or caramel macchiato shake onto an all-day breakfast, meatloaf, or order of brick chicken."

Where to Find Comforting Chicken Soup in D.C. | Eater DC

"Ted’s boasts that it has the “world’s best chicken noodle.” That statement might be too strong, but they do serve up a respectable version of the soup with thick homestyle noodles at their multiple locations." - Travis Mitchell

10 Places for Boozy Ice Cream In the U.S. - AFAR

"A comfort-food diner with a retro bar in the D.C. area that pairs classic diner fare with adult milk shakes from a chalkboard menu — examples include a Grasshopper (Kahlúa and crème de menthe), a Key Lime Pie shake (coconut rum), and the Nutty Professor (hazelnut liqueur). For special occasions there’s the Millionaire Malt made with Glenlivet 18-year scotch, and an off-menu ice cream sandwich built from the restaurant’s signature tarts." - Veronica Meewes

Came here with my boyfriend for a date and we both loved it! The food was delicious, not too expensive, and came out in a timely manner. Our server was very kind, understanding, and answered any questions. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was great. Overall 10/10 experience and will visit again next time we’re in DC!

My daughter and I were in town for the Cowboy Carter concert and stopped here for brunch before heading home. We were initially hesitant because it was very crowded and we had less than 2 hours to eat and walk to the Amtrak Station. However, we were seated right away! The food came out quickly and was delicious! The drinks were strong and the service was spectacular! Over 4 different people interacted with us from beginning to end and they truly all worked as a team...no matter their position. No one was above clearing a table or sweeping the floor. Both our hostess and waitress asked us about our trip and the concert while the managers (or owners) made sure our food and experience was pleasant. My gluten free order was on a color-specific plate and designated by a special flag. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was one of the best gf buns I've ever had. My daughter got pancakes, eggs, chicken sausage and home fries and she loved it. Prices were also reasonable. I definitely recommend and will be back when in DC!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ted’s Bulletin in Noma, and I must say, it far exceeded my expectations. Rating it a solid 4.5 out of 5, this spot truly offers a well-rounded and delightful experience for the cost. From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the cleanliness and aesthetic appeal of the space — it’s warm, inviting, and modern decorated, creating a cozy yet modern atmosphere. While Ted’s Bulletin is famously known as a brunch hotspot, I was pleased to see how intentionally they’ve expanded their offerings. The full lunch and dinner menus, along with an impressive bar, demonstrate their commitment to catering to a diverse crowd. The drinks were top-notch — beautifully garnished and crafted with quality ingredients, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. We started with their lobster roll, which was packed with fresh seafood and perfectly seasoned. The biscuits and gravy, made with homemade biscuits, were rich and comforting. The crab eggs Benedict was a standout — delicate, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The homemade hash was hearty and flavorful, a perfect complement to the other dishes. Overall, Ted’s Bulletin Noma delivers exceptional quality, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s a versatile spot that’s well worth a visit, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ted’s Bulletin in Washington, DC, offers a delightful breakfast experience marked by generous portions and a nostalgic atmosphere. Diners rave about the Big Mark Breakfast, featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and flavorful hash browns, all complemented by house-made pop tarts in inventive flavors like blueberry cheesecake. The service is consistently praised as attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. The cozy, old-school ambiance, complete with classic films playing on projection screens, adds to the charm. While some have noted occasional inconsistencies with certain dishes, the majority find the food satisfying and well-prepared. Ted’s Bulletin is a must-visit for those seeking hearty comfort food in a welcoming setting I’ll recommend this place !!

I usually don’t leave reviews but this place was so good that I had to give them a rating. My girlfriend and I were only in town for 2 days for a concert and we ended up eating here three times during that stay haha. The appetizers are Amazing and the ceaser salad was to die for as well as the pot roast. The restaurant is also a very classy and fun vibe and all the employees are so friendly. We will definitely be coming back here next time we’re in DC :)

My new favorite location! Visited for dinner and had a 5 star experience. Greeted immediately at the door and was quickly seated (did have reservation). The decor of this location is beautiful and has a good size bar. My party order the chicken sandwich (amazing) and the breakfast platter (the portion was huge). Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I was pleasantly surprised as the manager and several staff members did check to see how our meals were several times throughout our meal. Also got the coconut cake to-go and it was a nice size slice and tasty. I would highly recommend this location.

Came through for Sunday brunch. Happy to have made a reservation because it was packed. The food was okay, I had a burger. I totally loved the atmosphere, good music and great service! Definitely stop by if you’re around

Loved the aesthetics. The food was amazing. I got the blackened salmon with grits and spinach. My husband got fish tacos which he said was good. Everything was cooked to perfection. Was a busy night and manager still made it a point to help bring over food and to greet us, and even ask if everything was good. Great service from the waiter. Great time visiting here from out of state. I almost wanted to go back a second time.

Hello, I frequent Ted's at NOMA on the regular, and the food has always been great. Not this time, we ordered 2 french toasts on 6/29 around 11:00 am. The french toast was extremely dry, the hash brown recipe must have changed. It was as if they were not potatoes at all and the portion size shrunk. I am not going to give up on Ted's, I guess we are all entitled to a bad day. This was a takeout order.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We popped into Ted's Bulletin in NoMa on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. But what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service from start to finish... warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Now for the food... Lobster Mac & Cheese: LOADED with lobster (like, not just a sprinkle--actual chunks!) and baked to creamy, cheesy perfection. A must-order. Jalapeño Popper Wontons: These were to die for. Perfectly crisp, with just the right amount of kick, and that cilantro lime ranch dipping sauce? Elite. Homestyle Meatloaf: I was not expecting to be blown away by meatloaf, but here we are. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and served with glazed carrots and mashed potatoes that were giving comfort food excellence. Ted's Burger with Caesar Salad: Classic and cooked just the way we asked. Juicy and flavorful. We wrapped things up by sharing a slice of carrot cake for dessert... and let's just say it did not last three minutes at the table. Moist, rich, and the perfect sweet ending. If you're in the NoMa area and want a spot with great vibes, amazing service, and food that actually delivers on flavor -- Ted's Bulletin is it.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Ted's Bulletin nails it -- cozy vibes, big portions, and a menu stacked with comfort classics. The French toast is dreamy, the chicken & waffles hit the spot, and those famous "Ted Tarts" are pure nostalgia. Service is warm, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Don't miss the gravy and biscuits, and whatever you do, grab the cornbread sticks -- they're addictive.

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!!

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!

Great service from hosts and waitstaff on a busy morning. Every item was great, as usual. Love the all-day breakfast. Eggs were correctly over medium and poached. Hash browns were crispy, bacon and sausage was crispy. Coffee and iced tea were great and did not need sweetener. We got to sit in covered patio outside. The inside decor is tasteful and chic. Thanks again for consistent quality food and pleasant team!

The service here was great! Shout out to Mary Virginia! She really was super attentive and patient with our group as we trickled in. I love the vibe of this Ted more than the others. It's giving grown sleek and sexy. The food was also pretty good, the lobster roll was on the small side but the matcha colada was super refreshing. I can't wait to come back!

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!

Cute place for breakfast. Not too busy and service was quick and friendly. Nice outdoor seating area or indoors is quiet enough for good conversation. I had scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, hash browns, toast and coffee. All were cooked perfectly - especially the crispy hash browns. Toast tasted homemade or at least fresh baked. Save room for the tarts - a grown up homemade version of pop tarts - yum.

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!

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!!

A very good experience at Ted's Bulletin in NoMa. I like that the decor and interior design is upscale compared to their other locations in the DMV. If you've visited any of the other locations you will appreciate the additional space and slight shift from their traditional dining room concept at the NoMa location. The customer service was good and so was the food quality. I appreciate the available booth seating, which is great for families and large parties. They are family-friendly with a kids menu, which I also found adequate. Overall, a very good experience and refreshing change of pace from the usual Ted's Bulletin experience. Street parking is available, but not ample. There is a 5% service charge added to every bill to cover operation costs which the restaurant claims is a part of DC's Initiative 82. The fee is not a tip and the restaurant says that tipping is a vital part of compensation for their staff.I will visit again when in the area.

I try to visit Ted's everytime I'm in town. If I can't eat a full meal, I try to at least get the seasonal pop tarts! This time did not disappoint! I snagged the blueberry and seasonal cherry blossom tarts. The bakery case was extremely tempting but I resisted! This new location was in a great location, convenient to where I stayed, and I'll add it to my list!

This restaurant originally drew me in due to their pop tarts hanging in the front window. I had no idea how many breakfast options they had! I ended up ordering the confit shiitake hash which was delicious! Honestly, they made the shiitake so well that I thought I was eating meat! The truffle Mac & cheese balls were not as truffle-ly as I would have liked and they were pretty dry inside. Also, it's not marked as vegetarian on the menu and no one could answer why so that was a bit fustrating. The pop tart was great but super sweet! Definitely a little treat to enjoy from time to time. The Halloumi salad was delicious and filling! Service was also quick despite the Sunday brunch rush. I would definitely 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.

Some of the most atrocious customer service I've ever experienced. This establishment is not ADA compliant. They simply would not seat me, despite my reservation, due to my psychiatric service animal. They kept giving tables to other groups while telling me they would seat me there if I didn't have a dog. Each time, my insistence that he has trained to lay under any table fell on deaf ears. My family and I will never be returning here. I think we will do just fine without their $30 waffles.

Stopped by here for brunch while in DC and will definitely be back. Apparently they have a few locations, but this one is conveniently located near Union Station. This is their newest location and it's gorgeous inside with a mix of bar, booth and table seating. I love the that they have an in house bakery and barista in addition to the bar and restaurant. They have an extensive menu that features an all day brunch. We were starving and skipped drinks. We ordered the fig and ricotta toast, confit shiitake hash and short rib pot roast. Everything was delicious. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the short rib pot roast. It tasted like home and was soo filling. We mentioned to our waitress, Sydney, that we would be sharing everything and she made sure to portion the entrees on separate plates for us! Talk about service! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in DC. I hope they open a NYC location

So happy to have a Ted's in NE! The Noma location is always busy so definitely make a reservation. We came on a Saturday around 1:30pm and were seated time our whole party arrived. Our server was friendly and incredibly attentive! She checked in on us frequently, as did management. Stellar customer service. We had the bottomless coffee which was fabulous. A truly excellent cup of coffee. For breakfast I had Mark's Breakfast which is a really great value: 3 eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, hash browns, and a Ted's Tart for about $15. I substituted the sausage for a cup of fruit which was strawberries, blueberries, and cantaloupe. The fruit was fresh and sweet. The sourdough toast was awesome and they give you the perfect amount of butter! Cant go wrong with bacon and their's has a bit of a sweetness which was delicious. The stand out however was the cherry blossom Ted's tart. Its a seasonal item in honor of cherry blossoms and is delicious-- my favorite tart! Really no downsides to Ted's other than it's busy and a bit loud. Definitely expect a wait if you walk in during brunch prime time but Ted's is one of the few places in the city where you can reliably get a good meal with good portions at a reasonable price with great service.

When they said a cinnamon roll the size of ya face I didn't believe them. But then it came out and I was so impressed. Tasted lovely, the icing was very sweet, but had a good time overall. They've also got the best restaurant coffee we've ever had. Service was attentive, and the ambiance was bustling and nice.

I'd recommend the NoMa Ted's Bulletin for happy hour. They offer a wide variety of fun drinks and the deals are pretty good for the area. The small bites are decent though truly small. For lunch and coffee, I think there are better places nearby at the same or better prices for what you get. For example, I ordered an $18 harvest salad to go for lunch and got back to my office to discover the salad was a lot of lettuce with only a few bites of nuts and blue cheese that had fallen to the bottom of the box. I know at least 3 nearby restaurants where I could get a better mixed salad!

I love Ted's Bulletin, but this particular location is always phenomenal. I've ventured past their (amazing) breakfast menu recently, and their staff makes great recommendations. Recently, I tried the steak & frites dish. The steak was cooked to my liking (medium), the chimichurri was delectable; it had the perfect amount of garlic. The Caesar salad was tasty & kept well enough to eat the next day. For drinks I had the cucumber mojito (pictured) and a Cadillac margarita (not pictured). But were great but the Cadillac margarita was the stand-out. My friends ordered a round of them after trying mine! Our server was also great, attentive, and checked on us often.

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.

I love this place. My wife and I go eat here all the time, whether we dine in at the restaurant or just order a sandwich and a milkshake at the counter, it's always good. We like most locations but this particular one is our favorite. Staff are very friendly and the ambience is comfortable.

So good!! I went for dinner with my friends when visiting DC recently, and was very happy with my experience! I was very impressed by the number of vegetarian friendly options, especially since I tend to find it harder to find good options at brunch-oriented places (there is an all-day Brunch menu here!). There were a lot of very tasty sounding options and I had a hard time landing on one thing to order, but I ended up getting the Confit Shiitake Hash. I normally can't order hashes because they're typically made with meats I don't eat, but this one used mushrooms instead. Delicious!! I love mushrooms anyway but didn't realize when I ordered it that the mushrooms would be braised and cooked in a way to act as a meat substitute. At first I really thought I got the wrong order because the mushrooms looked and tore like real meat when cut, but they were so good with a definite meaty texture and taste. The sourdough that came with the hash was fresh, the potatoes were crispy, and the poached eggs were perfectly runny with a savory and rich hollandaise sauce. I probably could've done with some more of the hollandaise, especially to dip the bread in, but otherwise I have no complaints! My friends got the Shiitake Mushroom Bolognese, which came with the same braised mushroom pieces, and also said it was amazing. The portion sizes were good for about one serving. For beverages, they have a great and fun mocktail and cocktail menu! I wanted the Pears Well, which they unfortunately didn't have. Instead, I ordered the Rum than Ran, which appeared to be an approximate mocktail of a piña colada and came with a maraschino cherry, and was delicious, sweet, and had a strong pineapple flavor. I also tried my friend's Peachy Keen mocktail, and my other friend's Lavender Mule cocktail, and both were also balanced and very yummy. Any dishes with eggs were an extra 75 cents because of the egg shortage, which felt a little silly considering how meals already are upcharged from the production cost (the Confit Shiitake Hash was already $19, and became $19.75 with the upcharge). Also, a 5% service charge was added to the check and this wasn't mentioned before, which was kind of annoying. Overall though the cost felt okay for DC and the nice interior of the restaurant, but it's definitely not cheap. The service was great; we had a reservation and were seated immediately, but it did take a while to get our check after. However, the yummy drinks and expansive vegetarian-friendly menu definitely make this a place I want to visit again! Hope to be back!

This was my second visit to the new Ted's Bulletin in NoMa and I was very pleased both times. The atmosphere, staff, and food are all great. On my recent visit, my table got the Lobster Mac & Cheese ($20), Big Mark Breakfast ($17 for 3 eggs, 2 bacon strips, 2 sausage patties, hash browns, sourdough bread, and Ted's Tart), and Chicken + Waffles ($22 for fried chicken breast, belgian waffle, maple hot honey, chive butter). We also had Bottomless Coffee ($4.50 for the Every Day Blend, a locally roasted medium-dark coffee) and shared a Coconut Cake ($11) for dessert. All of the food got high marks. The lobster mac and cheese used plenty of cheese and cream, cavatappi pasta, and large pieces of lobster including recognizable claw meat. The breakfast plate was solid -- huge, about what you would expect, hash browns a little salty. Chicken and waffles also good. There were ~4 pieces of chicken, boneless, with a nice fry on them. The dish didn't need the chive butter and it needed more syrup, which was quickly provided when requested. Coffee (served black) was a little thin and weak. The coconut cake was also a highlight. It was a huge slice with great coconut flavor and very light crumb and icing. My friend, an amateur baker, is skeptical of many restaurant desserts but was impressed by this one. We got a four top in the back corner of the restaurant, in a sort of nook. This was a great table that felt a bit private, but we also weren't overlooked by our waiter. Our waiter was friendly and prompt. The restaurant decor is trendy and modern with a very appealing style. A few things could be adjusted. The breakfast plate came with the tart plopped on top and nowhere to put it; please put it on its own plate. The tart, despite being a signature dessert, is always too doughy with not enough filling. The coffee was so-so. The restaurant was a bit noisy, but that's not too surprising for peak brunch service. The floor is also a bit slippery. Overall, we had a good time at Ted's. It's a solid, crowd pleasing restaurant.

This was a good experience. I had reservations for 9:15 but the bar area wasn't crowded so sat there. The music playlist was good and the ambiance was relaxing/luxury. The bartenders were friendly & professional Everything was flavorful. The poppers (4/5) and calamari (4/5) were so fulfilling that we changed our mind for the original main entree from steak/sea bass to salads. The kale salad was refreshing and crunchy (4/5). The harvest salad was hearty (3/5) but my friend rated it (4/5). Would recommend and will visit again.

This was my first ever dining experience in Washington DC, and I was so pleasantly impressed! My girlfriend and I were looking for brunch options in the Union Station/NoMa area and landed here. The service was incredible and the atmosphere was so fancy and clean. Their brunch menu has a variety of options, but my girlfriend and I were feeling a classic breakfast. I ordered the "Make your Mark" breakfast combo with 2 over medium eggs, bacon, tater tots, and a biscuit. My girlfriend got a spinach & cheese omelette with sourdough and hash. The food was INCREDIBLE! So tasty, especially speaking for the tater tots. They were lightly crispy on the outside, and very soft and flavorful on the inside. Melted in your mouth. I also really enjoyed the bacon and the biscuit, but the eggs were a bit runny. Still very good though, and I paired it with Chalula hot sauce. My girlfriend's spinach-cheese omelette was TO DIE FOR! I will definitely order this one when we come back. She also really enjoyed her sourdough and hash, and it was a good pairing with the omelette. This is a great option for brunch in the DMV area!

Visited the new Ted's Bulletin in Noma with some girlfriends. Clean and modern restaurant design. Quick efficient service. We tried the fried pickles, Summer Vegetable Pappardelle, avocado toast and tuna poke bowl. The fried pickles were good, a tad salty. The summer vegetable pappardelle had some nice flavors, but was overcast with oily texture. The last tuna bowl and avocado toast were fine, not necessarily memorable. For drinks we had mimosas, turmeric ginger juice, kombucha. I've been to a Ted's bulletin in the past and enjoyed the milkshakes and desserts so would return for that but felt the entrees were overall salty or oily.

You are pampered like the return of thr Prodigal son! Look at my pics! I'm told this is a fairly new location for what is to be a chain but it's no chain service! It's super personable and you can tell it's consistent with whomever waiter you get! The dood is just plain great Relaxing and so satisfying! I will check out the other location soon enough!

Finally went to the new Ted's in NOMA! I love Ted's so the food is definitely consistent across locations. Unfortunately, the service was a bit subpar. I had the hibiscus Paloma which was WONDERFUL but my friend had the summer aperol spritz and didn't love it. It has mango and rum in it so be prepared for that. I will say this location is great for a full sit down meal versus the other ones that feel like a full diner!

I'd been to Ted's Bulletin before but this was my first visit to their NOMA location and I loved the decor. I was there for brunch so you know I had to get one of their insane cinnamon rolls. I split it with friends which left room for me to get in some savory breakfast too and I had the Norway Benedict which was delicious and a nice balance from the sweetness of the cinnamon roll. Everything on the menu sounded amazing though so I'll just have to keep coming back I guess!

Today was a pretty awful experience at the new Ted's Bulletin in NOMA. I know for a FACT that the white people at the bar were not asked for their ID. My friend, who has a lot of gray hair on his face was asked for his ID. Then, he made a joke and said "Do you see all this gray hair." The bartender said "it doesn't matter." He had no smile or kindness to his approach to my friend at all. Then, the manager (Meeka), stood behind the bartender(William) instead of introducing herself...when he came back to talk to us. She literally stood there like a security guard instead of a manager. I had to ask her "hi are you the manager?" She shook her head "yes." Then, I said "how are you today?" Why did I have to ask? I am giving 1 star not due to the fact they wanted the ID proof, but due to the rude nature of the bartender and manager. The manager could have literally said "hello how are you? I am the manager." A simple hello or introduction could have been wonderful, but instead, the manager stood behind the bartender like a security guard. That was low class and the entire situation was disrespectful. This 1 star could have been avoided by literally saying hello and the manager having the decency to introduce herself. I decided to come here for dinner and a drink. Unfortunately, I closed my tab after just 1 drink. I have nothing good to say today about Ted's Bulletin. Wish it was better. I'm definitely telling my friends about this service. The bartender didn't even smile or crack a joke with us the way he cracked jokes with the white people directly next to us. I want to reiterate that I am not giving this 1 star review due to the ID request. I am writing this 1 star review due to the customer service received by the bartender and the disrespectful "security guard" nature of the manager.

Easily the best brunch I've ever had in DC! When I walked in with my girlfriend on a Saturday late morning, I was expecting a bit of a wait as I hadn't even thought of placing a reservation. I had no need to fear however, as we were instantly seated! The waitstaff and hostesses were very sweet, complimenting our outfits and truly welcoming us in as valued customers. I ordered the farmers scramble with a bunch of vegetables, sourdough toast, and hash browns. It was a delicious brunch; the eggs were full of flavor, the hash browns were perfectly crispy, and the toast was a buttery and delicious crunch to complement the rest of the meal. My girlfriend opted for over medium eggs, bacon, and tater tots - of course I had to steal some of hers, and the tater tots are ABSOLUTELY worth the upgrade. A definite must-do when you come here. Not to mention, the interior of the restaurant is so cute. For the prices we paid (everything is super cost-friendly especially as we're both students), the inside looked like we were eating in a bougie, Instagram-post worthy place that is usually hundreds of dollars more. Fantastic service (some of the best I've had), even better food, and a great experience! I'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to everyone.

Ted's is one of my favorite restaurants to visit when I'm in the area. The food is always fresh and flavorful. I love that they serves breakfast all day and the decor is always so inviting and welcoming. This time I tried the French toast breakfast with strawberries. It was absolutely amazing and definitely my favorite thing that I have ordered here thus far. The hashbrowns, eggs, and bacon were also cooked very well. My partner got the pancake and we both agreed that the French toast is better! I highly recommend this restaurant and don't hesitate to check it out!

So excited for this location! This is just what noma needed!! And it was as good as ever! The vibe is amazing, the service was great, and the food of courseeeee was so good! I will definitely be back!!! Also, the bathroom is like what all bathrooms should look like - private non gendered stalls and a handwashing station (and it's cute).

Ted's is a great staple restaurant. I love the French toast and eggs from here. Their housemade pop tarts are some of my favorite and really unique. I'm usually here for brunch and love the hash. It used to come with duck (exquisite taste) but I believe they've removed it from menu recently. Well priced and you can receive 20% Cashback through the inkind app

Visited this restaurant for breakfast. Everything is made in the house from scratch and you can tell. We ordered a brown cinnamon & sugar tart, strawberry tart, the French toast breakfast, and the shiitake mushroom potatoes and egg meal, and coffee. The food was delicious. I would rate it. definitely a 9/10 for breakfast. The staff was extremely helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. The ambience was very nice as well.
