I belong to a group called "St Pete Foodies" and you get alot of really good (and some bad) reviews on great places to eat. Someone mentioned Ted's yesterday.. and I had a sudden need to go there. When the food is good enough that the mere mention of a name or dish invokes longings you are willing to drive for; well, to me that's some great food.
I've only been to Ted's once before.. only ever had the mullet and salmon. Got the same thing again. So good, don't wanna try anything else. Yet. Ordered 2 beers. Casey crought them and cold frosty mugs. Fish , so good I didn't even pay much attention to the sides. When I couldn't finish my meal, Casey our server, wrapped up my entire meal to go. I mean everything. Tomato, onion, pickel garnish, all condiments, then did the same for my husband. I tipped her 20%. When I got home and looked at the packing job... 20% didn't seem enough. This place opens 11:30 am. It was packed by 12. Alot of walkup traffic. alot of carryout. Watching this place work is like watching a well oiled machine. If you find the idea of sitting picnic tables offputting - order the food to go.. but order it. Personally, I find the casual atmospehere charming. It's a smokehouse. A clean, well run, really great food, smokehouse. Thanks Casey
I have tried to make the time to get to Ted Peters for the last couple of years and finally made it and absolutely was not disappointed. If you like smoked fish it doesn't get any better or any fresher. The portions are large and the dinner portion is a pound of fish so it's certainly enough for two. The only negative thing I saw was they charge 2 bucks for an extra plate and knife and fork which is stupid if you're paying 22 dollars for a fish dinner. Overall I highly recommend it and btw make sure and get the fish dip also....off the chain!

This was my first time to go to Ted Peters, even though I have wanted to go for years! It was great! I can't say enough about our waitress, she was excellent! Wish I could remember her name! They have a limited menu, but when you do something so well, why expand the menu? I will definitely go back!!
Absolutely loved it. The mahi-mahi was wonderful the potato salad couldn't have been better. Liked everything about the meal services great good price on draft beer.
A Florida landmark, family owned, a must do in the Pasadena area. The smoked mahai is fantastic, the German potato salad with pieces of smoked fish, and coleslaw are great, and I don’t like coleslaw. They have a limited beer menu. But the clam chowder is very good with lots of clam pieces. Service, excellent. We will return. Been there, got the T-shirt.
The smoked salmon was awesome! The staff is very friendly! Great place to eat!
My family has been coming to Ted Peter’s practically since it opened. I will drive an hour out of my way just to go. If you have a chance to eat here, you won’t be disappointed in the fish. It’s excellent. I love the smoked fish spread too
Just fantastic! The smoked salmon is awesome, warm German potato salad, great coleslaw. My
waitress was awesome, all the staff is very friendly
I love smoked Mullet. This is the best i have ever had, anywhere in the world.
I highly reccomend.
Terrible. Please don’t go there so there will be more fish for me. Seriously it is a no frills place but the fish is incredible.
Love this place, been getting their smoked mullet spread since the 80’s, never disappointed!
Great place! great food, cool atmosphere and just right down the road from where we live! this was our first time but we will definitely return!!
Excellent smoked fish done on site. Family owned. Fish spread is the best. Lunch specials are also good. If you don't like smoked fish, the burger is nice size! German potato salad is just like my MIL from Austria used to make. The best!
This place is a cherished relic. If you visit, seeing the smoke house is a must. Still smoking fish like it is 1960. Can purchase smoked fish of several local varieties, all super fresh. I get smoked mackeral to make fish spread and purchase German potato salad like my grandmother made. When you are good at something, stick with it. Oh yeah, there is dining with cold beer as well!
A St. Petersburg "must-visit" to get a sense of the flavor of our town. Cash only, but the food is excellent. Visitors and residents alike need to stop by this 50-year old, family-owned institution! While you are there, try the fish spread. To die for ;)
Busy little place! Remember: cash only! The smoked fish hut was interesting and the man was very informative. The smoked fish spread was sweeter than I remember, but worth the drive!
I’ve heard great things about this place for years and decided to finally give it a try. There is outside picnic tables that are under an awning and indoor seating. The menu is limited. We ordered the famous fish dip. It comes with crackers and Crystal hot sauce on the side. It was phenomenal! It was fresh and smoked to perfection. We enjoyed it so much that we got another one to go. If you share a plate of food, they charge you an extra $2
A local iconic eatery. Outstanding smoked fish and hamburgers. The German potato salad is delicious. One of my favorite restaurants! Cash only, but well worth it.
Fish is delicious. Sides are ready for a re imagining. I would prefer my potato salad without the bacon mixed in....
