All-day breakfast, American fare, and boozy milkshakes
"Giant pastry pockets and oversized cinnamon rolls make breakfast a blast at the D.C. chain of nostalgic diners. All-day pancakes from the kids’ menu come in a “Mr. Breakfast” shape, with bacon for the mouth and bananas and berries for the eyes and nose. The kids’ menu breaks from the basic tenders-and-fries rut, with options like teriyaki salmon and an assortment of nutritious sides. Order here for pickup or delivery at six area locations, with more on the way." - Emily Venezky
"Call it old fashioned, but the tomato soup paired with grilled cheese at homegrown chain Ted’s Bulletin is a match made in heaven. The “deluxe” option folds in braised short rib and mac and cheese ($17.89)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"From 7 a.m. until closing, all six locations of Ted’s Bulletin serve popular, diner-style breakfast fare. This includes Nana’s beer biscuits and sausage gravy, a $12.99 platter served with two eggs and hash browns. Afternoon and evening eaters who crave biscuits, but don’t necessarily want them as an entrée, can order the chicken ‘n biscuit sliders drizzled with the local chain’s version of sticky sweet mumbo sauce. Order takeout or delivery here." - Tim Ebner
"Trafficking in Americana, Ted’s sells its diner-style comfort food for contactless pickup and delivery (DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates). Find classics like boozy milkshakes, chicken and biscuits, and pancakes with generous sides on their all-day breakfast menu, available at all six locations around the metropolitan area. Don’t forget the Ted’s Tart." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Ted’s Bulletin serves one of D.C.’s most reliable — and large — breakfasts. Their contactless pickup breakfasts continue to satisfy. In addition to their substantial à la carte menu of American staples, the “Ted’s Brunch At Home Package” includes scrambled eggs, home fries, choice of meats, pancakes or French toast, and four Ted’s tarts. Breakfast is available all day." - Tierney Plumb
