Ted's Bulletin - Merrifield — Restaurant in Merrifield

They have breakfast/brunch food here all day everyday!!!!

Huevos ranchero with three eggs is quite delicious here. It has spicy aoili oil drizzled on top with spicy sausage and bits of cheese. Really flavorful. The spicy pineapple margarita is good with tajin rim. The white Russian shake is pretty good. The chocolate cake is huge and rich and delicious. Good amount to share. Ted tart is super sweet.

The breakfast burrito is pretty good if you add extra meat.

Get the steak and eggs! One of the BEST steak and eggs for brunch in Nova. My absolute favorite! It is delicious with the chimichurri sauce drizzled on top and the demi glace with it makes everything come together really nicely. The sauce with the steak gives it a nice slightly tangy taste which works really nicely with the steak. It comes with a small portion of Dijon frisse salad which is also tangy and delicious.Their breakfast potatoes are seasoned well with garlic and are delicious as well.

The brunch pasta is very good here. It comes with sausage and a poached egg on top. Definitely worth trying and very tasty!

You can try the TUBS Ted's ultimate breakfast Sammy, It comes with bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs and egg over medium on top with cheddar cheese and toast. Really tasty sandwich served with hash browns. Highly recommend if are in mood for a sandwich.

From the dinner menu the pot roast is tender, moist and delicious. Highly recommend!

The overnight oatmeal quinoa is a very light option. It is pretty tasty with bits of fresh mint sprinkled on top and berries and a couple pieces of walnuts. This is an option if you don't feel like having anything greasy.

They're happy menu is a Ted's burger. It comes with two patties and is very juicy and delicious. It is served with cheese, lettuce tomato thousand Island dressing and pickles on the side and french fries. The burger is very good and I would highly recommend getting it during happy hour since is only $9.99. You can also get $3 off appetizers, as well as cocktail and beer, wine special pricing. It runs from 3:00 to 6:30. Great time to head to Ted's.

The cold brew martini is excellent as well, probably one of the best espresso martini. If you are lucky and if MJ is the bartender she will make the best espresso...

THIS IS GREAT!

I didn't have expectations when I went to Ted's. Then the great experience began.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Wow, really good! I was impressed!

Our waiter, John was very professional. At the beginning it felt a bit off because he was all business and didn't seem he was interested in going beyond his specific duties.

Full disclosure, when we arrived the place was packed! But as things settled down a bit he seemed to be more relaxed and actually smiled.

That being said, I wouldn't change his service. He is extremely professional/knowledgeable and very, very honest. He'll tell you what he likes and what he doesn't. I really like that type of professional person!

Now let's compare with Matthew, the moment he stepped in to help out he made us feel as if we had been friends. He was extremely busy but, he would take some seconds to let the client know he was very welcomed.

In short, it was the perfect tag team that made the human experience one that other companies should embrace.

FOOD

Almost perfect.

The Cobb salad. Salad was fresh but chicken was a bit dry. Flavors were there but the chicken was dry.

Mexican Salad Again Salad very fresh and yummy but, the carne asada was on the hard side. The flavors were correct and the dish made sense, sadly the chewy part wasn't good.

Blue cheese dressing needed a bit of a pick me up. A bit on the bland, but we added some Blue cheese chunks from the salad it brought the dressing to life.

Chocolate Milk Shake That was very YUMMY. It wasn't too sweet. And the chocolate flavor popped out!

Latte Seemed the coffee was over brewed because it was bitter.

3 Layer Carrot Cake

NOW THERES GREATNESS IN ALL ITS SPLENDOR!

That I will definitely buy again!

RECOMMENDATION

One of the employees screamed near us to another employee "Do you have the Avocado Toast!"

Please be considerate of your customers. Don't scream while standing next to the client.

I know it was busy but, just walk over and ask for the item.

SUMMARY

It's a great place. It does need some attention to details in certain areas but it doesn't take away from the quality of the food and its personnel.

Recently, I visited Teds Bulletin for breakfast on 2/12 and unfortunately, I received the worst service I have ever encountered. Upon arrival, my partner and I were promptly seated for two. However, it took our server, Shayna, 10 minutes to even greet our table. This was a huge misstep and an unacceptable wait time. Eventually, Shayna approached our table and apologized for the inconvenience. She offered to take our drink orders and we requested 2 coffees and 2 waters.

I ordered the Big Mark Breakfast and asked to substitute the bacon for grits, to which Shayna responded with no problem and gave no indication of an upcharge. After placing our orders, Shayna disappeared and did not return to our table for another 15 minutes. We searched for her, but she was nowhere to be found. Despite the delay, our food arrived at the table, delivered by a runner. However, our drinks and server were still missing.

Finally, Shayna appeared and slammed our drinks on the table, apologizing once again for the inconvenience. When we asked for condiments, she disappeared again and returned 10 minutes later, looking surprised that she had forgotten. She quickly retrieved the condiments for us. After our meal, I ordered more coffee, but Shayna took away the carafe without bringing me a refill. Another 10 minutes passed before she returned and, upon being reminded of my coffee, she expressed surprise and quickly went to retrieve it.

At this point, I just wanted to leave. When I received the check, I was surprised to see that I was charged for my substitution. Given the terrible service throughout our visit, I believe that the substitution and the coffees should have been comped at a minimum. Despite the delicious food, it was impossible to enjoy due to the...
