I'm a hotdog connoisseur and an Arizona transplant. As soon as I saw hotdog in the name I knew I had to try Ted's. The service was no nonsense and it was very busy. I like the simple roomy setup of the dining room. It's simply but seats many people. The all beef dog was amazing and my only regret was not getting 2.

I've been eating here for decades and it's always on point. It's clean and the general manager is awesome. He's been working here since I was a kid! Please throw away those fork and knife burgers and gross hot dogs then come here for a professionally-grilled, home-style tasting burger or dog. Don't forget to try the Loganberry soda!

Damn! Been about 10 years since I have written a review for Ted's. I will keep this one short and sweet............. Still my favorite restaurant in the Phoenix area, and still the restaurant I would have my "last meal" at if I ever had to move out of Phoenix. I love it that much. The only reason I don't go as much is because its far away from my house in Surprise. Had to pick up my Mom from the airport last week, so I went here first for some dinner. I got an Italian, a regular dog, and some onion rings. As always, food was bomb! The Italian sausage has the best taste and texture of any sausage I have ever had. The onion rings are my favorite, and the regular dog is always tasty. A perfect meal! Can't wait to come back sooner than later!

For a hot dog place, they do burgers right! My partner hates bacon, but loves their bacon cheese burgers, and he isn't wrong, they are juicy with a wonderful char flavor. I love that they toast their buns so that the juice doesn't make the bun soggy. Their hot dogs are good ... I'm not a hot dog person, but I used to love their chili dogs, however they recently changed the chili recipe so it is more tomato forward. If you like a very tomato chili, theirs will for sure suit your palate. And what's weird, the fish and chips ain't bad for a fast foodish place. Their tartar sauce is really good.

Tried their sausages dog and to my personal preference, it's not nearly as good as the all beef hotdog. The flavors for sausage are just kind of blend. Their onion rings are so good, and all beef hotdog is consistently good too.

I was looking for something to snack on late at night and saw Ted's Hot Dogs from my Yelp friend who lives in Phoenix, AZ. Joanna was patient, helpful, and very friendly. She said, "Ted's Hot Dogs has been an institution here for 80+ years. In NYC, for about a 100 years" All their hotdogs and sausages are charcoal grilled cooked to order. Regular Hot Dog (with the works of ketchup, mustard, relish, their hot sauce, and a pickle spear). Polish Dog (with the works of ketchup, mustard, relish, their hot sauce, and a pickle spear). Both were delicious and very good. I didn't see the add-ons until after I ordered. They also serve hamburgers, chicken, fries, onion rings, milkshakes, fountain drinks, etc.

Not to "date myself," but I have been coming to Ted's Hot Dogs for between 25 & 30 years. Having been an Arizona State University student back in the late 1990s, I remember the days when Spiro was often present on property. Maria and Blaine managed the restaurant like it was their own with love, care and efficiency. They appreciated their regular customers ... So much so that I was invited the their child's birthday party once. Talk about feeling loved & cherished by a business one supports. I have glanced over a few of the reviews, and, yes, the ordering process is different than what many are used to in these modern times. However, to me, it adds to the appeal. It is fun and exciting to be part of that fire-line & to join in the joy and the energy with other Ted's patrons who do not mind waiting a bit for a hot dog that is SO GRAND!!! You will not taste anything better anywhere in AZ as far as a hot dog is concerned. Going to Ted's has always been an event. Now that I have my own children, they too have experienced the wonder that is their real genuine delish one-of-kind milkshakes. All is worth the wait! Take it in, and enjoy your time is this fantastic restaurant.

Everyone loves a bargain, so when Ted's Hot Dogs offered a BOGOF promotion, I couldn't pass on the deal. Ted's Hot Dogs in Tempe pays homage to it's Buffalo, NY roots. Walk in and you're immediately greeted by a newsstand with both the Buffalo News and the Arizona Republic in case you want to catch up on the news of the day for either city. The walls are adorned with touches of Buffalo, such as a photo of Buffalo City Hall with the THD mascot directly in front. (Looks like a parade float.). I miss some other decor such as UB and Buff State pennants which were removed long ago. As you enter the restaurant, you're immediately hit with the aroma of toppings. "Onion" is not my favorite scent, but it comes with the territory. Thank goodness the grill is there to "balance" it. Back to the BOGOF ... the cashier seemed new and incorrectly charged me for an item I didn't order, then seemed to have difficulty figuring out how to use the register to make a correction. What I really wanted was a coney but, sadly, they aren't offered. The dining area isn't fancy, but serves its purpose. It was neat and clean with plenty of seating. You'll hear 80's and 90's music from "back in the day" to enjoy with your meal. The hot dogs were juicy and flavorful, though slightly cool, not hot. That said, their hot dogs are good enough to eat without toppings, so that says a lot. The buns were soft and fresh. Plus, keeping to their Buffalo roots, they serve a sweet and flavorful Loganberry drink which is a must on every visit. Just don't spill it. It's likely to stain clothing. If you're up for some yummy hot dogs and a bit of nostalgia, Ted's Hot Dogs is just the place.
