Ted's Hamburgers

Our first time here and was not disappointed! We loved the cheeseburgers and fries! While waiting for our food we were given a sample of the fired catfish and it was amazing! We will be going back! Excellent food, service and friendly staff!

10/10 hands down one of the best burger joints in the city. The history of the restaurant gives it an extra dimension.

The inside dining area is small, the music is loud, the air conditioner is cold, it is spotless clean (including the restroom) and the folks that work there are very friendly! There is a drive through order window up front, customer parking is a little congested. [4.4 rating on Google with over 770 reviews]So, for $21.50 (not including tax) we got two 1/3lb deluxe Charburgers, Fries and a Drink. That is a price that is competitive with any burger dive in town. I liked everything about Ted's. What got me in the door was the fries. Ted's are different. Whole fresh potatoes (hides and all) are cut up in size just like regular fries, then dusted with flour, salt and pepper. Next a bath in hot fresh oil until the perfect level of crispness is obtained. The cook gets them right. These are basically Jo Jo sticks instead of Jo Jo wedges. They probably taste odd to people who have never eaten a potato skin in their life. Fresh coated fries, hide and all; I loved 'em. Our burgers were big 1/3lb Charburgers without the Hickory Sauce, but with all the fixin's found on the Burger Deluxe L,T,P,O&M (no mayo, no ketchup) My explanation of how I wanted the burgers was far more complicated than necessary. The very nice patient lady at the counter figured it out. We got burgers exactly as we ordered them. She told me how to order next time (in diner language) to make it simpler. As we were enjoying our burgers, the nice lady that took our order came out to the dining area. "Have you tried our catfish" she asked? "Nope, my first time here." She offered me and my wife a sampling of the catfish, fresh from the fryer. Oh! Wow! It was good. Ted's Hamburgers is more than just burgers. That fact duly noted and stored in memory. Next time I have a hankering for catfish, Ted's will be recalled along with the flavor of the tasty fries!

I'm so happy this restaurant opened back up. The storefront is small, and the intimate atmosphere quickly fills up during peak hours. The burgers hit the spot and the hickory sauce is so tasty with a hint of jerk spice. I recommend the onion rings or the fried okra extra crispy as a side. I've always enjoyed the staff as they are quick, responsive and in good spirits. Definitely recommend.

Found this place because my son had a basketball game at Central High! Ordered the wings and fries and everything was fried just how I like it and those fries are delicious. The chicken was a little salty but definitely seasoned well! I'll definitely be back, it's a hidden gem I just ran into!!

I had a jr bacon cheeseburger and a large Dr Pepper very friendly staff and the burger hit the spot I will definitely be back I love old fashioned cheeseburgers!

I had their special, which was a Double Bacon Cheese Char-burger combo. The burger was incredible. What took it over the top was their hickory sauce. They weren't stingy with the sauce as well (a lot of establishments seem to not put enough sauces on burgers for some odd reason). I always like the smokey flavor, their char-burger represents that. The bacon was slightly crispy, the way I like my bacon cooked. The burger was big enough alone to satisfy. Their fries were good as well. Outside of the combo special they had, I always wanted to check out their Chili Cheese Burger along with a cherry shake, which is what I really wanted till the special caught my attention. The prices were reasonable. The employees were attentive & nice. The food didn't take long at all.

Been eating at Ted's Hamburgers for over 30 years. Went to High School across the street all students ate there. It was a classic. Ate it here recently being I live in Virginia Beach . Was so ecstatic to get my Teds .. well after being hung up on by the owner today. I decided to let everyone know. TEDS AINT TEDDINIG ANYMORE! Soggy long fries burgers no real seasoning not to Mention the business was sold. So In honor of Mr Teds Hamburgers...this location is just USING HIS NAME. Wish they would be honest and change the name. Because you can't carry Mr Teds name and not make the food just as tasty as it has BEEN FOR OVER 30 plus years! GO CENTRAL BRAVES! And the REAL MR TED'S GOD BLESS 1990 - present day!

Food here is great, fresh and the staff is kind. I walked in and said I didn't know what I wanted, let me look at the menu, next thing I know they hand me a piece of fried fish, does this help? We have a fried fish sandwich combo! Sold it was awesome. Been back several times never disappointed.

I had just got out of the hospital from postpartum preeclampsia my boyfriend was so excited to go try a new place to eat & when we pulled up there was people inside and we walked in & all the workers behind the counter yelled at us saying that they was closed but there was people eating inside? If y'all don't have enough workers/don't have room for more customers to dine in or if y'all were actually "Closed" then lock your doors or put a sign on the door hopefully this helps y'all in the long run bc that was sooo rude.
