As other reviewers said: great diner food, nice people, huge portions and cheaper than McDonalds (almost)... I will definitely be back, as we have just moved about a half mile away from Ted's. Can't wait to eat their breakfast - we had lunch today (the three of us tried the meat loaf, 15 bean soup and spaghetti with meatballs). Ohh to top if off - they had the radio on 93.1 WXRT which is the station I listen to most in Chicago! Rock'n'roll forever.

I've lived within 2 miles of this place for 6 years and didn't know it existed until I had to get my tires changed at the nearby Midas and found myself hungry for breakfast. This place is amazing and has a great small-town feel. I ordered blueberry pancakes, bacon and eggs. The blueberries were fresh, the bacon quality excellent and the eggs perfectly cooked. The coffee was good too - not the swilly typical diner coffee. I loved being able to have a small-town experience and hanging with the locals! Will definitely be back.

Great diner in Evanston. Perfect to dine with others or enjoy your meal solo at the counter. The staff could not be more personable and the food is great too!

I'm going to say it: this place looks like a Church/Dodge street dump from the street, but it's nothing like it on the inside. Like others, I appreciate this place for its simplicity and low prices. Ana is very nice and accommodating. This is no Le Peep, Walker Bros., or Golden Olympic breakfast, but it's just a really great, reasonably priced neighborhood alternative to cooking up your own breakfast at home. I once saw a woman walk in with a cup of coffee from Dunkin and the staff harassed her about it for a little while. I fully expected to see a snotty review, but really, it's hard to imagine hating on this place. Given the name, I think it's kind of funny the place is called a "snack shop" because I don't usually need a snack before 2pm that comes in the form of a plate of eggs, toast, pancakes, etc. :) Try this place out! You won't regret it. This place is CASH ONLY. For breakfast I go straight to the corned beef hash skillet or meat combo skillet, but everything they make is great. See the picture I attached of their pancake sandwich. They always have about five daily specials going that rotate around the board... Every few Tuesdays or so, they make spaghetti and meatballs and if you ask nicely they'll make you an off-the-menu meatball sandwich with garlic bread! Every Thursday is roast turkey dinner day. It's astounding. Mashed potatoes, cranberry, vegetable, and turkey. On Thursday and Friday (if not gobbled up by then) you can get an amazing turkey club from the leftover roast turkey. Holy hell it's good. Where can you get a home-made sandwich and fries for $6? Nowhere, that's where. Friday is white fish day. I think it's a pollock of some kind. You can order it with grits or baked mac and cheese! Here's a nice article on the place: evanstonroundtable.com/m…

Our favorite breakfast/lunch place in Evanston, bar none. It's not fancy, in fact, it's a little hard to find. But once you get there, you're enveloped in the small-town diner vibe, with regulars lined up at the counter and families filling the tables. Anna keeps the madness light-hearted, and laughter abounds. Come in here more than twice and the odds are good that Anna has a good idea what you'll order, and after the third visit, she's writing the order down as you walk in. Oh, great food abounds as well. The chopped-steak-and-eggs is my favorite; a big hand-formed beef patty, cooked just right and accompanied by eggs as you like 'em and perfect hash-browns. They also do burgers that rival anything you can get at the gourmet burger joints, and pancakes that defy description more detailed than 'OMG this is so yummy". You'll wait a little longer than at other places, but the results are worth the wait -- the cooks make the food better instead of faster. That's a choice I'll make any day of the week. And the prices? Look at the menu and you'll think you went back five years in time. Great food, great ambiance, what's not to like? Eat at Ted's and fill your tummy without emptying your wallet. You owe it to yourself, your friends, and your future grandkids to make this place one of your go-to places.

Very clean, great prices. We liked the sausage a lot and the coffee was good. There was nothing wrong with anything here, it just struck us as average. Service was very friendly but slow, and the food took a LONG time compared to our favorite breakfast joint. I love me some ham off the bone(this Chicago description cracks me up) but this ham was not trimmed of fat, although the ham portion was good.

The four stars aren't about the amazing food or chic decorating, because this ain't that sort of place. You to to Ted's for good ol' down-home-style diner food at normal prices served up by genuinely good people. Even after leaving a tip, I rarely spend more than I would have getting a junky breakfast sandwich and coffee from Dunkin or Starbucks... and this is real food, not something nuked fresh from the freezer.

What a nice surprise. A small diner with good food, very reasonable prices, family run and very friendly. PARKING is easy. VERY clean. If you're looking for a comfortable place to relax and eat some good diner food - breakfasts are terrific, can't beat the bacon and cheese sandwich, good coffee - this is it. What's more to ask?

This is a classic neighborhood diner where generally everyone in the place (myself excepted) tends to know each other by name. The food is good, servings are generous, the prices are slightly north of cheap, but still reasonable, and often when I visit during breakfast, they are cranking '80s hard rock or metal.
