Shakes come in a dozen traditional flavors plus a handful of adult concoctions like the White Russian and bananas Foster. Don’t forget to slurp one down with a homemade pop-tart on the side. Read more

Amazing breakfast! Biscuits and gravy were to die for, the breakfast sandwich on Texas toast? Genius. And the pop tarts are such a yummy treat. Call ahead to put your name on the list.

Homemade chocolate cream pie is so rich, not too sweet, creamy & yummy! Thomas is one of the best host I met in a while. Great job! He gives great recommendations & looks like he enjoys his job here!

This ain't your grandma's shake. While admiring the retro decor, belly up to the bar to order one of this eatery's adult milkshakes, spiked with liqueurs and other sophisticated additions. Read more

The “cinnamon roll as big as your head” is no joke! The cream cheese frosting comes in a gravy boat and the whole thing is yummy. Only available on the weekends, and until supplies last!
Helen YuenAugust 23, 2018
Very generous portion here. I still finish the whole plate. Tastes so good - great comfort food. Love their cooking style - they don’t overuse salt! Definitely will return. Service is Wonderful too!

This place was recommended by many locals in DC ! I would say it is the perfect place for brunch ! Home made Pop tarts MUST HAVE ! 😍
Tian XieFebruary 9, 2018
Portions here are no joke. The chicken 'n biscuits was about 3x more biscuits than I expected. Also, I just realized that I have been eating crappy hash browns my whole life until now!

What can I say sometimes you find a neighborhood treasure and teds is it. Adult shakes a must home made poptarts (bacon peanut butter) eggs and homemade corn beef hash with cubes of real cornbread.!!!

Ted's has transformed the Pop-Tart into legitimate pastry. They fill handmade, almost cakey crusts with homemade jams, fresh berries, brown sugar, and peanut butter and bacon. Read more

service is little bit slow specially during the weekend but foods and drinks are really good. their draft beer options is restricted comparing to their arlington branch but dc ipa is still goooood
Arik MorrisAugust 31, 2017
Of course, must try the pop tarts (salted caramel is the best!). Before indulging, recommend the fried chicken: succulent, and perfectly seasoned.
Diane JedinakSeptember 20, 2013
Came here for late breakfast. Friendly staff. T.U.B.S. sandwich was awesome, and oh, the pop tart . Brown Sugar Cinnamon is the way to go! Hubby said the peanut butter bacon one was pretty good too!

Classical milkshakes. Big portions. Great for breakfasts. It gets very crowded during the weekend. Good option in the area. Ideal for groups and families. Recommended.

The kids’ “Mr.Breakfast” is a generous portion and adorable! We added the scrambled egg for our two under 4 kids to share.

Grab a seat at the bar, its the best seat in town! Split the Big Mark Breakfast and a Baileys Carmel Macchiato with a brown sugar cinnamon pop-tart - best start to the day!!
Jiliana DulaneyOctober 6, 2013
I spoke too soon. The Millionaire Bar, Ted's rendition of a home made Twix bar, was amazing. Also... They make their own Ho Ho's! I mean seriously! Could this place be ANY BETTER?!

A staple in a Capital Hill diet. Great sandwiches and dining menu. You feel as though your negotiating the next great piece of legislation just be being part of the crowd! Do it!
Melani KMay 25, 2015
Tasty food, breakfast menu all day long. I got the biscuit with fried chicken and fries was good. Big portion, so come hungry! Very friendly service
FranciscoAugust 4, 2013
Lots of good options. Love the gumbo, and the peanut butter bacon burger. They will tell you the cinnamon roll is amazing, but other than being huge and pricey, it's nothing special.
Rachel KMay 18, 2015
The White Russian adult milkshake is pretty good, but dangerous. Also, all the burgers can be made with a veggie burger, which is nice.
Aniruddha MandkeSeptember 15, 2014
Delicious food. Exceptional environment. Really good cocktails. Staff is warm and thoughtful. Must visit restaurants in DC. Do try out their breakfast.
Steven HassallNovember 13, 2014
Best milkshake I've ever had, pop tart was ok! Too much salt in the soup but overall highly recommended!
Dennis HansenJuly 19, 2016
Very good food and shales but the portions should be considered to share. At least for Europeans.

Do a Sunday with friends but make it an early reservation or go later like 1:30 2...the crowd seemed to die down and you still can enjoy the food, company, and nostalgia.
JH H-DJanuary 20, 2019
The ham Benedict and the breakfast burrito were prepared perfectly. Portions were generous!
AyeBrookeFebruary 17, 2015
Great breakfast food... they have turkey sausage, the cheese grits are so good... and so is the smoked chicken salad sandwich...

Ted's is a comfortably classy American eatery outfitted with art-deco accents taken from the 1928 Philadelphia Convention Center, including a front area decked with a green marble-backed bar. Read more

Always best to get there early .. or be prepared to wait .. but its always worth it .. great service .. great food .. can't go wrong with Ted's
Brunch and the CityJanuary 22, 2012
Two words: homemade pop tarts! It's kid-central on weekend mornings but breakfast is served up all day. Follow it up with a spiked milkshake and you're set for the weekend. Read more

We are all pop for Brown Sugar Pop Tarts (5/5 NOMs)! Stop by and try some home made desserts.
Woody WommackApril 13, 2015
So many options and most are excellent, great for breakfast but also for a burger and shake at lunch or dinner.

Best Pop Tarts ever! But why does the Pastry Chef, Rebecca, always make those weird faces? It's the Latino worker bees that do all the work anyhow...
Laura BruceSeptember 9, 2016
pretty good food, but when I went recently, unfortunately, everything was so over seasoned..all I could taste was salt! Def try the poptarts tho! Yum.
Lindsay FranzoniJune 10, 2016
My favorite place to eat brunch in DC. Amazing home made pop tarts.
Nat HarwardJuly 9, 2013
Heath Almond. From the bar, you can see workers mix up 16 shake flavors, including s’mores and caramel macchiato, while adults can indulge in the White Russian and Nutty Professor boozy versions. Read more
Michael MJune 25, 2012
The backyarder burger and a poptart, can't go wrong! Check this place out at a time when Eastern Market isn't open and you won't have to wait for hours.
trillateezyDecember 23, 2014
Pop tarts, milkshakes, breakfast... All incredible. Maybe not the best spot for dinner foods, but definitely for breakfast & brunch.
Burger DaysMarch 31, 2011
Ted's has some inventive burgers here including Ted's 'Burgh (an homage to Pittsburgh & Parmanti Bros.) and Drew's Peanut Butter Bacon burger (note: keep your drink close by, this thing is sticky!)
Jake SchwartzJuly 3, 2015
One of my favorite brunch destinations...get the hazelnut milkshake and make sure to get try the pop tarts.
Brett GilbertOctober 24, 2016
The cheesy grits and chicken and biscuits are excellent!
Jiliana DulaneyOctober 6, 2013
The Southwest (West Virginia) burger is incredible. One of the absolute best burgers I've ever had. You definitely need to try it.
Chris MarsdenNovember 3, 2017
Breakfast burrito was fantastic. A little mild, for my southern taste, but fresh and delicious.

Plight of the Pumpernickel says the ribs dinner is a great value. You get a plateload of tasty pork ribs and two sides for less then $20. Try the mac and cheese for a rich, filling side. Read more
Caitlin BJuly 4, 2013
The adult milkshakes are amazing but you can still taste the alcohol. "Dirty Girl Scout" tastes like Thin Mints. Key lime is also awesome
Mary VruwinkMarch 21, 2023
Great menu, excellent food, the pop tarts are fantastic, a must do place in DC
The Hill is HomeJanuary 21, 2012
The spiked milkshakes are a must-try. Weekend breakfasts are kid-central. Call ahead before you go and ask for the wait time. On weekends expect wait times of 45 minutes to an hour. Read more
V l SmithSeptember 20, 2016
Meatloaf sandwich, pretzels and beer cheese dip, Ted's burger all outstanding!
David GuerraFebruary 7, 2015
Best brunch in all of D.C. hands down. Pop tarts are a must. Everything else is incredible.
Paul DaveyOctober 12, 2014
Think I was 5 years old last time I had a pop tart, you can't miss out on these!!
