Here's a story about the bump up in my rating for Ted's Place. My close friend had been telling me about how her husband liked Ted's Place. He wasn't eating the fish and chips I chose in a previous dine-in experience. He was happy eating other selections on their menu. Since word-of-mouth can be a convenient way to figure out where to go for a meal, I felt Ted's deserved another try. What I tried and really liked was their gyro plate. The plate included a lot of french fries and a big salad. When the fries taste really good, I sometimes eat so much of them that the entree is barely touched. I powered through, eating some of the gyro, and the effort was definitely worth it. The gyro and the sauce provided were a delicious dinner and I got a to-go box at the end of dinner. I purchased a mint tea, which was piping hot and once cooled down, felt like a nice complement to the meal. Employees here are all nice. The booths and tables are comfortable and clean. After eating here again, it makes a lot of sense that Ted's Place has been in Laguna Niguel for a long time.

YES! Stop and eat here! I've driven past Ted's Place at lease 100 times. Finally stopped in the drive thru for a breakfast burrito. Graciella took my order and told me about how amazing their entire menu was. She recommended I try their Mediterranean salad. She was so convincing, I ordered it to go and planned to have it for lunch. WOW. Not only was the breakfast burrito the best I've had since I can remember, these salads are so delicious and absolutely enormous! Brought wifey back today and we ate on the patio. Graciella is here again and she helped us choose our orders. - she's been here 25 years!The quality of food here is FAR superior to what I expected from a small "mom and pop" drive thru. The portions are MASSIVE. I bet you can't finish a whole salad in one sitting!We'll be back until we can try everything on this delicious menu. Can't wait to try the strawberry stuffed french toast!

Food is halfway decentBut to get the food, you have to put up with the management and staff which are ungrateful to serve youSometimes it takes up to 20 minutes to get an order of pancakes You're not meant to be in the drive-through for 30 minutes for your food Based on the management, that place should be closed

This place is horrendously awful. The prices are INSANE for such bland, poorly prepared food. It's over $7 for an order of soggy tasteless fries, and they charge extra for ranch. (TIP: Some kind of sauce will be necessary to make them edible, otherwise you're eating tepid soggy cardboard.)The burgers are pitiful, and Carls Jr. or Burger King will give you a more flavorful, more filling burger for less money. The patties here are even thinner than a standard McDonald's beef patty, and they are without even a modicum of flavor. The meat tastes how it looks: gray. How does something "taste gray", you ask? I don't know, but the rip off artists at Ted's have figured out how to make a repulsively unappetizing double cheeseburger that has less meat than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, much less than a quarter of the flavor, but Ted's will still charge you +$12 for the greasy flavorless mess. And the service is awful as well. The last time I went I asked for "freshly made extra crispy fries." The lady manning the drive-through kept omitting the "freshly made" part of my order when she would read it back. (E.g. she just kept repeating "Extra crispy fries".) I had to correct her each time and then finally break it down for her: "No, I want FRESHLY MADE fries that are extra crispy! I don't want you to just throw old fries back into the fryer! I want FRESHLY MADE fries that are also extra crispy!!" She gave me an extra-crispy order of ATTITUDE, but my fries came out exactly as I was hoping to avoid: they were obviously old fries that they just dumped back into the fryer. They were soggy, unappetizing, and that nasty dark brown color due to the oil saturation. Oh, and they weren't even salted. I couldn't even eat them. I've been disappointed each and every time I've been to Ted's (3 times), and will never ever be back. I really hope they go out of business and open literally anything else in that prime real estate. Anything would be an improvement.

I've been here before, about 3 years ago in 2022 and had a positive experience. I met the owner's daughter, she was nice, the food was good, everything was great.Fast forward to 2025, this place is awful. I placed an order through an app called TooGoodToGo for pickup at Ted's. When I arrived, there were literally ZERO customers in the drive thru or inside the restaurant, but they refused to serve me at the drive thru and said I had to come inside. That was odd, but okay.So I go inside, go to the register, there were about 5-7 employees all standing around just 3-5 feet from me and not one of them would even look at me. I stood there being ignored, while they were just laughing and joking with each other for 15 minutes!!! It was crazy.Finally, one asked if I needed anything and I told him I was there to pick up an order that was supposed to be ready at 8:30. I arrived at 8:30, now it was 8:45 and the order was apparently not ready.5-7 minutes later someone comes out with a bag and a to go box with what appears to be some mess they dug out of the garbage.I couldn't even make out what it was. Some old, stinky, cold meat? I honestly don't know. Look at the pictures and see if you can tell.This was absolutely disgusting, I will never go back. This place is insanely overpriced, the staff is completely awful, lazy, and rude, and the food will literally make you sick.I'm not sure how this place is still in business or if it will be much longer.

Placed an order on door dash tonight and ordered the fish and chip meal and it didn't disappoint- ordered bean and cheese burrito it was decent and good Size - shareable . Ordered the zucchini sticks - REALLY BAD - TOUGH AND TOSSED ENTIRE BAG . Could not eat them . I LOVE zucchini sticks but people don't order these you won't be happy , 9.99 wasted . Also they didn't seal up the bag so my zucchini sticks as well as my other food was sticking out of the bag in my drivers car - I got my bag and literally reached in and tried the zucchini sticks- you hear how drivers can taste your food well perfect example of this from Ted's Place - PLEASE SEAL UP your BAGS or stop doing deliveries!! I'm sick period ! This my first negative review for food delivery !

I order a chilaquiles place I have purchase this plate before so I know what it comes with I get home and for my surprise it was missing the steak. Call the restaurant guy who answer was arguing with saying it didn't came with steak they don't even know what their menu is finally he ask and realize it did he transfer me to his manager. Matias who just offer me a 10 dollars discount when I paid almost 23 for it and what about my inconvenience and my time lost it's sad I was stating to like that place but to be honest they should refunded the full price that's customer service now I have to find a new place to take my team for lunch

Good every time for over 20 years. When most of these fast food places can't seem to ever get it right, just serving crap! I go to Ted's because it's worth the wait, but that drive thru lady has horrible customer service!

Look at this wet burrito. LOOK. AT. IT. ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT.I love Ted's. I drag my friends and family here more than any other restaurant. Chill vibe and friendly employees. Fresh coffee, comfy seats, never feels rushed, clean, reasonably priced. (Gotta say though... My heart still breaks over the salsa bar. Damn, I miss that thing. RIP)Thank you, everyone! We'll be back soon!
