Ted's Hot Dogs

I had something that didn’t make me feel like I was denying myself of a real treat for the first time in a very long time. My family took me to Ted’s Hot Dogs, to celebrate something that only the 3 of us could appreciate as a day in our lives that we are hoping to remember forever. I had a great Hot Dog just like the good old days and I didn’t have to worry about being sick when I got home. A GLUTEN FREE HOT DOG.

They changed the gloves without us asking, and I asked for a few extra things to be extra careful and they were very accommodating. My cc sensitive kids were fine. They lost one star because there is limited menu options. We end up with only a hotdog and a drink.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Got GF buns and didn't even have to ask for a glove change--they knew what to do.

The owner started offering gf buns because of a family member diagnosed with celiac. Very awesome.

Be sure to ask for glove change and tell them from the start any special instructions or need for gf bun.

French fries etc are NOT gf.

Did not notice cross contamination, but it was amazing to go to a burger joint and be able to eat like a regular person!! Rolls were delicious. Great to be able to enjoy a childhood favorite!

They don't even know that they should change their gloves. Lots of cross contamination. I got sick and won't go back.

Hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken, and sausages are gluten free. They also have Udi's gluten free buns. If you ask them to change their gloves, they will, but since they generally have young kids working there, you have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't handle gluten again before your food. Sometimes they will have a gluten free side like potato salad, but most of the time I can't eat sides there. I also don't get condiments because the knives they use touch rolls and then go back into the containers. I put my toppings on at home. You can eat here but just have to be very careful.

I found that Ted's is generally pretty safe you just can't have anything fried due to a shared fryer. But other than that for me the workers have been great about keeping my food separate from gluten and I have had no problems with Ted's Hot Dogs. I highly recommend.

Tried to eat here and after ordering, they let me know fries were cross contaminated and all hotdogs buns are cooked on the SAME grill!! There’s nothing gluten free about this restaurant at all. They don’t even try to take precautionary measurements! If you’re in the Buffalo area and you want a hotdog, go to Franks! Everything there is SAFE!

My 13 year old daughter ordered a cheeseburger. As we were walking up to the counter I heard the cook to tell one of the other employees to change their gloves. She would be responsible for handling my daughter’s food from start to finish. It’s now been 4 hours and my daughter is healthy. In regards to options. She cannot have any of the fried foods but she can have a hotdog or hamburg. She said it was very good. You know coming from a teenager, that’s really a compliment.
