A Taste of Ireland, Ted’s Style!
Mar 17, 2025 - Mar 18, 2025
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at Ted’s Bulletin with a festive menu full of hearty flavors and a touch of Irish tradition. Start your meal with a comforting Loaded Baked Potato Soup, a rich and creamy bowl, perfect for the occasion. For a classic taste, enjoy our Corned Beef Hash, featuring tender corned beef, crispy potatoes, and two eggs any style, served with your choice of toast. After 4 PM, indulge in our Corned Beef & Cabbage Dinner, an 8 oz brisket paired with cabbage, creamy mashed potatoes, and a side of brown mustard. No St. Paddy’s celebration is complete without something sweet—sip on our festive Shamrock Shake, a vibrant green vanilla peppermint treat, or take things up a notch with the Paddyshake, a grasshopper adult milkshake topped with Lucky Charms. Don’t miss out—this special menu is available Monday, 3/17, after 4 PM only! Grab a shake, don’t flake!

I did not like that the amwaiter did not give us a printed bill. He came to the table with portable machine, told me the total and then Handd me thr machine to add a tip and sign. I prefer a paper bill to be able to look at and decide on a tip without the pressure of thr server standing over you.

I usually go to the TED’S in Virginia the food is amazing there. At this location the flavors just weren’t there for me. However, everyone has a different palette. This location was also super small and old looking. I would not return again.

This was a different Ted's Bulletin location than I often go to. The food was good, albeit came a little cold. I think this was simply part of the service problems that we experienced and not a problem with the kitchen. We had to flag a server down several times because of them forgetting things or just not even touching in to see if everything was fine.

We stayed local after touring Capitol Hill. We found Ted’s Bulletin very inviting and comfy. The food and the service were very good. Loved the all day breakfast option, although I had their super grilled cheese with tomato soup, which was wonderful. You must try Ted’s tarts while you are there, a fabulous homemade treat.!
