Amazing restaurant with consistent quality food. We really enjoyed our lunch experience and plan to go back soon! We had the crab cake for appetizer, Bison steak, Bison burger, and Steak salad. All were great. They added a complementary ice cream and cookie for my son (today is his birthday). Best home made ice cream! Not too sweet and perfectly creamy. Our waitress was super attentive, helpful and thoughtful.

The food was amazing. Bison Ted's Filet with mashed potatoes and Cedar Plank Salmon with baked potato were prepared exactly as we asked and were delicious! They also have a good selection of drinks, but we were hungry, not thirsty. šŸ˜ The place is a bit poorly lit, so the menu may be difficult to read if you are not sitting at a booth. Strongly recommended! šŸ‘šŸ»

Legendary Bison Brisket & a Taste of the Wild West! Tedā€™s Montana Grill really hit the spot! I ordered the bison brisket, and while Iā€™ll be honestā€”it tasted a bit more like a rich, juicy pot roast than brisketā€”it was still unbelievably delicious. Not gamey at all, just melt-in-your-mouth good. Big thanks to Stephone, our server, who recommended it. That guy knows what heā€™s talking about! Now, letā€™s talk sides. I opted for the brussel sprouts instead of potatoes, and wow, did I make the right choice. These sprouts came with enough bacon to make any carnivore proud, and the chef definitely didnā€™t hold back on the flavor. My taste buds were singing. My companion went with the Avalon bison burger, and let me tell you, if youā€™re not familiar, Avalon is the mystical paradise of King Arthurā€”possibly where they sourced this burger, because it was legendary. Perfectly cooked, with a side of fries that could satisfy even the hungriest cowboy. The decor was straight out of the Wild West, with a Montana vibe so strong I half expected Wild Bill himself to saunter in. All in all, a fantastic experience. Iā€™ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! And seriously, if Stephone is on shift, ask for his recommendationsā€”he wonā€™t steer you wrong!

Hi guys, we are a married couple from Switzerland and are on vacation in Washington D.C. for 10 days. After our disastrous experience last Saturday at the "Hong Kong Pearl Seafood Restaurant", at 6286 Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA, we were unsettled by the bad reviews on Google about "Ted's Montana Grill". But we can assure you, "Ted's Montana Grill Restaurant" was one of the best restaurants we visited in the region. Starting with the greeting, allocation of our seats, ordering, service and support, right up to the food. "Ted's Montana Grill" is one of the reasons why we get up in the morning to go to work. To spend our hard-earned money on vacation in a restaurant like this. Keep it up, dear team, and always be friendly and professional. And you dear reader, "Ted's Montana Grill" at 2451 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA is worth every penny, go there and enjoy...

We love to eat here whenever we're in the national harbor. The bison streaks are so good and always cooked and seasoned well, even the kids and salad steaks. Service has been great with bringing kids, they even get a fun cool and reusable toy to entertain themselves (wax string). The biggest frustration when dining here is parking. There is a free lot, but it is very small and there are several other restaurants and businesses sharing the same lot.

The first time we came in, the service from an old grouchy blonde woman was so bad I didnā€™t want to come back. We gave the place a second chance and I am so glad we did, our server Christopher was so sweet and caring of what we were ordering, gave us suggestions to make our experience better, and he checked up on us often. The burgers were delicious and very juicy, I had the Tedā€™s Bacon Cheeseburger and my partner had the 1977. Christopher single-handedly will be making us come back, this man could sell me a used tissue and Iā€™d buy it. Give him a raise!

I had a great medium rare bison filet at Ted's and with a local beer. Love the asparagus. My server Stephone was awesome and efficient. This is my second time at this location, excellent food and top-notch service.

This place has gone downhill. The food used to be so delicious that I couldn't help myself but to eat the whole meal. The past two times I went, I wouldn't say it was the fault of the cooks, but the bad service. They had a bartender, that i will keep my real thoughts to myself, but was repugnant. The manager, who normally comes through make sure all was good with the food. But the damage was done. It will be some time before I go back to this location. I never expected to be treated with such disregard after being a patron since the doors opened.
