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 ordered the braised short rib pot roast and the breakfast burrito. They were delicious. To leave room for dessert, we boxed part of the entree and ordered tres leches and chocolate cake. Food and service were great and the noise level was moderate.

    Food was fine. Nice wait staff. Our guest ordered a half a chicken and left only bones (it was that good). Cobb salads were fine.

    Always stellar service with the most delicious lunch and breakfast for the whole table! Our server (I want to say Alex but it's slipped my brain but a lovely lady with dark curly hair and glasses) was amazing! Our table was catching up after a 4 mth hiatus of not seeing each other and she took our apps order while giving us time to chat and catch up before taking the mains. Deviled Eggs Royale (w/ caviar-yes please!) & Regular were devine, mocktails delish and though my Cobb was perfect, the breakfast fare on the other side was mouth watering. Thank you for another perfect experience!

    Delicious food at a reasonable price combined with excellent, helpful service. This is, however, a rather noisy environment, at least at the noon hour.
