I got a huge laugh the other day when I drove by and saw a Teds catering delivery van in line at the Sonic. Maybe the driver was just thirsty. Or tired of Teds food. Whatever, I laughed a good hearty laugh.

I havent eaten inside a restaurant since March. The patio here will be one of the first places I try when things get back to normal.

Ate here for the first time tonight. If you're in the crowd that hates Ted's, don't bother checking it out. The food is essentially the same as other Ted's Restaurants but I think it's a couple of dollars cheaper (don't hold me to that). I didn't get to check out the bar but the patio was great. It was heated and they played great music.

I was expecting the food to be the same so why should it be any different than other Ted’s restaurants? I will pass on it, thank you for your review

You serious? No way. First, they have a drive thru, a huge deal right now. Second, they also cater out of this location which isnt harmed by this Teds being next door. Lastly, I think you discount the many years they have built up a big loyal following.

You ever see a Denny's across the street from a McDonalds?

Yes I know the analogy isn't perfect but those two restaurants have similar menu items and manage to coexist because of the different dining experiences. Not unlike how BTT and Ted's will co-exist.

I mean there are two wildly successful desert places in the Plaza that have co-existed for years now.

6 months until what?

until they close their doors ..


i hope that i am wrong ...

but big truck has not been doing well of late separate from Teds going in ..

How do you know they haven't been doing well? Half the times I've gone in the last few months I've ended up in a very long drive thru line. Hell, they just won the Gazette's "Best Of" category for tacos. Ted's wasn't even on there.
