Ted’s Bulletin is a laid-back, classic American community restaurant, bakery and bar, serving craveable American cuisine in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Whether it’s family dinner, business lunch, or just a Ted’s Tart and coffee to-go, we’re as adaptable as your life is dynamic. Our breakfast menu is available all day because we believe that the most important meal of the day can be had morning, noon or night.

Ted’s Bulletin is a haven for comfort and celebrating the things we have in common: a hunger for good food at great value, a need for a place to be comfortable being ourselves, and a desire to connect with our community. At Ted’s Bulletin, everyone has a table, and every table has a story to tell.

    We splurged on a Valentine’s Day dinner experience so we ordered beverages and food in quantities that we we don’t normally order. For example, I normally enjoy one beer per meal. On this occasion, I ordered three cocktails and a boozy milkshake. They were all very tasty, but I felt as if I only had the alcohol equivalent of one beer. (This might be common at bars and restaurants as far as I know.) For starters, we ordered Loaded Tots. Delicious. The side salads were tasty. Entrees: Blackened Salmon and Short Rib Pot Roast. They were so delicious that we ordered the same to take home.  Finally, the service was exceptional. We had no right to better service than this. Overall, it was a delightful Valentine’s Day experience.

    The food was so good!!!!!! The best brunch I've had since living in DC for 2 years. I got biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend got steak and eggs. Both were excellent. The only thing I didn't love was that the orange juice had pulp.

    We like Ted's menu, and the atmosphere and location, all of which keep us coming back. The one thing that seems consistently poor is service.

    Asked for tea, the hot water was only warm. It was a cold day and extremely cold in the restaurant. I had to wear my hat and jacket inside to stay warm.
