Ted's USE to be my families "go-to" gluten free restaurant, eating there every weekend. Really great gluten free menu and with a sever allergy we felt very comfortable. We had one experience where our food came out clearly mixed with gluten items. Understanding mistakes are made we continued to be loyal customers. On our next visit we were told by one waiter that the entire gf menu was safe and then by another waiter that a few items on the exclusively gf menu was not in fact safe to eat. Then, during this same visit found that, yet again, there was clear cross contamination. I'm not certain if the management has changed or the kitchen staff but something has clearly occurred that makes me no longer trust that this particular Ted's is a safe place to for gf eaters. The good news is that there is another restaurant down on Evergreen Walk that is SO careful and has an unbelievable and expansive gluten free menu: Burton's!
While they had a GF menu and bun option for the burger, I got very sick. I ordered from the GF menu and had nachos and a cheeseburger. Within a few minutes I knew there was something a miss. The server did double-check both items were GF with the kitchen and the manager assured me they take precautions, cross contamination is possible.
Ensured me that my grilled chicken Sandwich and bun was cooked separately away from where gluten items are cooked and that the fries are in a dedicated fryer so not cooked in the same oil as the onion rings. The meal was really yummy and I felt good afterwards, definitely would return.
Y’all, Delaware is shit when it comes to food overall. Trying to find a place that’s gluten-free and half-decent is almost impossible. But then there’s Ted’s, which is actually pretty good! It’s a solid choice for both the gluten-free crowd and those without restrictions.
My husband and I have gone back several times because it’s safe and tastes pretty damn good! I always order a chicken burger. Sure, it’s an Udi’s bun, but they at least toast it!
