Ted's Restaurant

Nothing beats a steamed burgers. Once you try Ted's you won't want one any other way. Great food, awesome signature burger selections, and a menu to suit all tastes.

Burgers are cooked through, but still very moist and flavorful. I usually like medium rare but these were very good. Toppings are also very good.

A great change of pace for burger lovers! A local institution for 60 years, their steamed burgers truly taste unique, and they offer a lot of fun specialty burgers (shoutout to the Hawaii Five-0 burger and its mango chutney!) They also have a small dining area outside for warmer months. However, as space is a little cramped inside and is a little dated in appearance I wouldn't reccomend this if you're looking to bring a large group in the wintertime or searching for fancy fare. But if all you want is a great burger that shakes things up, You can't do better than Ted's!

Super quick! Fries and burgers were out in less than 5 minutes. It was almost filled to capacity but we got right in and sat down at the last both available.
Staff was friendly. Food was absolutely delicious.

Home of the steamed cheese burger. Why would you steam a cheese burger? I don't know. I mean, it isn't bad... but we've already developed superior technology. You know? It's called a grill. Works great. Gives you a nice seer on your burger. Like God intended.

Anyway, the steamed burger is what they're known for, so you might as well try it. It's a uniquely Connecticut thing you won't find anywhere else. Then you can tell people, "I ate a steamed cheese burger." And then, if you're a jerk like me, you can follow it up with "you HAVE to try one."
