Ted's Frostop

What a fun place! Ted's caught my eye yesterday when I was driving by and I knew I had to stop in. I'm so glad I did. Ted's Frostop opened in 1955 by Ted Sternberg when he returned home after the Korean War. It is a classic 50's drive-in. When you pull-in you feel like you've been transported back in time. If this isn't a national landmark - it should be. They offer a nice variety of food for breakfast and lunch. Burgers and Po' Boys are popular items. I strongly encourage you to get the Root beer Float. It is delicious! Service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. I can't wait for my next visit.

Solid burger joint with great root beer. Big picture--it's a busy location so you may need to wait for a table inside, but on nice days you can sit outside.

Discovered Ted's via the movie The Hit Man, decided to go. Food was great, big burgers, generous portions and our gal that took our order was spectacular! The Root beer float is a must!

Teds is one of our daily breakfast spots. The employees remember us and always treat us like family. I tried a turkey club (off the menu item) and it was yummy! The fries at Ted's are so dang good I find myself craving them over pancakes on some Sunday mornings.

Root Beer lovers, are you looking for an original American diner? This is it. Make sure you have the root beer, it is as good as they say! Angus Burger, Chicken Strip Basket, Roast Beef and lots of Root Beer. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful diner served with an amazing smile once you walk in. The food was not dry at all and the fries were sooo CRISPY. The milkshake was one of the best ones I have had in a while. The environment is warm and welcoming and it feels like all are welcomed.

Stopped in the other day for breakfast and it brought back a lot of nostalgic memories. I can't believe Frostop is still standing amidst the pandemic. Service was outstanding. The cashier/host was professional, personable, attentive and made us feel at home. She even came from behind the counter to our table to hand me a replacement pepper shaker because she saw me struggling to get pepper out of the shaker we had. We ordered shrimp and grits and two orders of pancakes and bacon. Hats off to the chef, this short, middle-age, black lady hovering over the grill. The shrimp and grits were well-seasoned and hit the spot. The accompanying buttermilk biscuit was buttery and oh so fluffy and moist. I'm getting a breakfast biscuit next time! My family enjoyed their fluffy pancakes. I had a bite of the bacon and it was crispy and flavorful. The restaurant was clean and not too dated. We got there just in time because the breakfast crowd--service workers, first responders, retirees--started to pour in shortly after we ordered and the line had reached the door. We should be intentional about visiting regularly.

I turned the corner near where I'm staying this weekend in the historic Broadmoor neighborhood in New Orleans, and came upon Ted's Frosto. I absolutely love going to vintage diners and burger places, so I couldn't resist stopping.I am so glad that we did. I ordered the Double Lot-O Burger, fully dressed! OMG, very well prepared and absolutely delicious and the homemade root beer, which had a huge frothy head and wonderful flavor.I will stop in several more times before we leave town. On your next visit to New Orleans (aka NOLA), this is a MUST stop!!

This place is okay for what it is - a greasy burger joint with really cool old pinball machines. We visited after 1 on a weekday. We tried to order and were told that they were out of ALL sides, the daily special, and lettuce. So we ordered a hamburger, a chicken sandwich, and a shake. They were evidently also out of root beer at the soda fountain (which we found out when my nephew tried to get his drink.) The server acted like I was over the top for ordering a vanilla shake. The chicken sandwich was slightly burned, but I ate it because I was hungry. We were also told that your only hope for getting the daily special is to get there within the first 30 minutes of lunch (I was laughed at for even asking for the daily special after 1 pm). The tables and everything on the tables was sticky and not clean. If you want some diner food with a serious portion of attitude, this is your place.

Could get a rootbeer float. I would give it zero stars if I could. The lady taking our order was rather rude too. So I probably won't be returning anytime soon.
