Ted's Montana Grill

I wish I could give a 4.5, but since I’m my heart I cannot give a 5, I must go with a 4. With a bar in an arena district with morning/noon events, opening at 11 am is not a good enough reason not to have a noteworthy Bloody Mary. It was at best underwhelming when compared to the rest of our order. I will say that the shared grilled shrimp starter was the best part of my meal - the lemon vinaigrette on the arugula made me want an entire plate of it to myself. I followed that up with the bison short ribs. Which were so incredibly tender that I was hooked. But the “buttered” carrots missed their turn in a heat source and failed to meet up with the butter friend that was supposed to get a ride. I’m not a mashed potato person unless they are out of this world - and these were just ok. I know I should have requested a substitution, but as a first visit I like to do as the menu recommends. A four star, won’t dissuade me from coming back - I still need to try a bison steak when I’m not rushing out the door to get to the arena. Next time Ted - imma want butter on my carrots.

Lunch was great! The chili was very good w/ just enough spice from the slices of jalapeno peppers and the shredded cheddar cheese. I had the bison Canyon Creek burger which is cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeno, raspberry jam, & fried egg on the burger. The burger is a little less than half a pound. I substituted onion rings for the fries at no additional cost. Washed it all down w/ unsweet tea w/ lemon. Very good lunch. We had a group of 5 that fit comfortably in the back table area. Could've fit a 6th or a few more. It had been awhile (2020) since I had been at Ted's in the Arena District. Good to see it survived the pandemic.

My wife and I ate there and we had a great time. The nachos were a fantastic starter and if you're an onion ring fan this place has the best batter, and the horse radish dip is on point. I had the ny strip bison with blue cheese topper medium rare. My wife had the sliders and she really liked the texture of the bison. To top it off the service was wonderful.

Went to the Easton location for me and my wife’s anniversary. I made a reservation and showed up 15 minutes early and was still seated right away! We was told “Happy Anniversary” about 3 times in the hour or so we was there. That’s awesome. We was seated at a booth and I’m a bigger guy and couldn’t fit comfortably so we just asked to sit at the bar and they took us right on over. The bison nachos are amazing! (Forgot a photo) But dinner and our drinks were perrrfect 10/10!! This is our second year. We come every year for our anniversary and we plan to never stop coming back!

Our bartender, Melonie, was fantastic! We came a couple months ago and didn’t have a great experience decided to give it another shot and this time was phenomenal. I had the bison Delmonico and the Avalon both were great. The service was top tier both professional and personable. It was a very friendly and lively atmosphere. We will definitely return.

The entire experience of this restaurant was by far incredible. From the extremely helpful and friendly service to the exquisitely cooked food, I'd say this was the best burger place I've ever been to. It's been a long time since I've had a bison burger and they did not dissapoint. The entirety of the menu is fun and contains modern twists that you would not expect in your meal. If you are out in the Columbus area, you MUST give this place a try.
