Ted's Charcoal Steakhouse

"We went last night for my Mom's birthday dinner. Our server William S. was great, very attentive and pleasant. The owner, Ted even came through refilling drinks. Which I'm not surprised he isn't above pitching in where needed. We all had a great experience, most importantly my Mom did. I tried to leave a review after we left but I must've done something wrong. Anyway, I most definitely will be returning and recommending Ted's!!! Next stop, I've gotta try his pizza spot.

"Worst restaurant service I’ve experienced in decades. The drinks came out quickly and the order was taken quickly. That’s where anything remotely decent occurred. It was 45 minutes before we got a refill on drinks. No word about the length of time it was taking to make our food. Food came out one hour and 20 minutes after ordering. No apology, nothing. I ordered marinated chicken breast. Lukewarm at best. The sweet potato fries were cold and hard—not edible. Won’t make this mistake a second time. Everyone in the dining room was complaining. Everyone. Terrible experience. Waste of time and money. My husband got a $25 steak that half of it is going home to the dog. Please don’t waste your time and money here."

"Good food and service, I had their berger.and it was hood, good fried okra"

"I am from out of town but meet a friend for lunch and girl time when possible and we usually have lunch at Ted's and I haven't been disappointed yet. The food is great my steak is cooked perfectly and I order it well done and it's still juicy and tender and packed full of flavor. So anyone that says you can't cook a steak well done without it being like a shoe sole doesn't know how to cook a steak. The salad bar is always fresh and has lots to choose from."

"I ordered to go food from here so can only speak to the take out experience, not dining in. Upon calling I was gruffly greeted by some guy. He was not friendly or nice and I honestly almost canceled my order because he was so grumpy and hung up on me without saying thanks or bye. Common courtesy is apparently a lost art. Based on grumpy’s attitude and impatience I thought maybe they were slammed. (At 3pm on a Tuesday) when I got there that was not the case. The woman working the hostess stand was nice and my food was ready when I got there. I paid and left a tip and headed on my way. I ordered a cheeseburger and Mac and cheese. I wish I had picked another side. The mac and cheese seems to be very similar to stoffers or some kind of tv dinner Mac and cheese where the noodles spent too much time in the water and the cheese has a weird texture. Not a fan. They also just spooned it into the same box as the burger so there was cheese sauce all over the burger. That wouldn’t be an issue if I were going home or were given napkins but neither of those were the case. My husband and I were driving back to Wilmington so I was eating in the car. I had maybe 3 bites of the Mac and cheese and ended up throwing the rest of it away. I was just really terrible. The burger was over cooked and crumbling but still had good flavor. I had slaw on it, which added a nice sweetness and crunch so I’m glad with that decision. $10 is a fair price for this meal, especially if you get a side you like. They gave me one utensil pack that came with 1 tiny 1 ply napkin. It was very much not helpful. All in all the meal was average at best. I wouldn’t suggest it but maybe other menu items are better than what I chose."
