I love the old school diner feel that Ted's has with very cool blue seating. I tried the steak and it was amazingly cooked to perfection.
Plaid shirts were in then out then in again, probably about 4 times over the last 40 years. They’re always in at Ted’s. You like diners because they’re comfortable and you don’t have to take off your hat sitting in a booth and the coffee’s good? Done. I think the omelettes are bigger now too. But the plaid shirts are the same.
Nice atmosphere, clean, good food, one waitress only who was busy and didn't offer a hot water refill for my tea, parking is scarce. Still, I like this little "mom & pop" restaurant.
Sunday July 17. We had a young man. He was the best waiter I think I’ve ever had. This boy will be able to work in the very best restaurants in Toronto as he gets older. Thank you young man (I wish I had his name)
Great food, reasonably priced and great service. Old diner decor. Bathroom hall outside and inside could be brighter.
Haven't been to this spot since I was a teenager (years ago) I used to frequent it often with friends and always had a great experience. Wanted my good friend to experience what I once knew to be a great restaurant with great food and service so we decided to dine there a few days ago.We were extremely disappointed with our experience from beginning to end: Not sure if someone called in sick the day I went but there was only 1 staff present to serve an abundance of people who filtered in shortly after we did.We waited patiently for our server to arrive and take our order and when she finally did arrive we felt pressured to rush ordering our food but we had questions about the menu ...she gave us short answers and hurried off.There was no warmth or friendliness in the way she served us.During the 20 minutes that we waited for our food, not once did she come by to check on us to see if we would like refills -or anything- while we continued to wait for our food.When the food finally did arrive, we realized it was moderately warm...as though the food had been sitting around for a bit. We were so hungry at this point we ate everything. Food was okay but definitely not "fresh off the press".We also noticed that said server was often on her phone when she could have been tending to the customers that were already in the restaurant also waiting long periods for their meals.It was abundantly obvious she was much more pleasant to those customers that appeared to "regular" patrons. Every customer should be treated with warmth, caring and friendliness -unfortunately this server did not display those qualities with us.A very unpleasant, unprofessional experience all around. Very disappointed, will not go back, do not recommend.I suggest the owner look into educating their servers on how to display professional, friendly customer service - you would think that is a commen sense trait in this industry but I guess not!
Food is always great @ Ted's. Went there for breakfast this morning with a family of four. There was miscommunication between the server and myself. We ordered 4 breakfasts. 2 over-easy and 2 medium. He heard 3. So, when our food was delivered and I pointed out the error, he said that when he asked me about what my son would be having, I replied he would be "scavenging" off of the other 3 orders. That's not what I said at all. Animals "scavenge" and those words never came out of my mouth. In the future, before leaving the table you're serving, repeat the order and there will be less confusion.
Me and my friend visited yesterday morning for breakfast, we liked the food but oh my god the waitress is full of attitude and behaving as if she is the owner of that place. She is so rude and arrogant. She is slow with her service and is so lazy with the orders. We were two people and she just gave us one menu, we asked for extra milk she was late with it aswell, she did not offer us water and we had to ask for it twice. The plates were not clean and she was constantly being rude. Some of my friends asked me not to visit as they experienced similar confrontation with the waitress. I highly recommend you to replace her and get someone who is not arrogant and respects people. Very very very very bad customer service, such a shame.
We've come to Ted's a few times for breakfast and the food quality and amount is always excellent. The staff is very friendly and I love the look and feel of the place.We need to come one day for lunch or dinner.
Unwelcoming place and staff, Never been to jail but this would be close. If your a regular they talk to you all nice and stuff. Other than that your chopped liver. Breakfast was cold , sausages taste salty and full of freezer burn, low quality and not all that cheap. Much better quality of food ambience and service elsewhere in Scarborough.
