Close to the Ted's in Marietta (East Cobb) and only open a week and a half
I'm always leary of visiting a newly opened restaurant within the first couple of weeks they are open because it's a learning experience even with trainers.
The East Cobb Ted's in Marietta is a favorite of mine and my son's family who lives in Marietta.
Last time we went, I played a trick on my wife. She was not feeling well so she stayed at the hotel and asked us to bring something back for her. Brought her back a great meatloaf which she enjoyed until I told her last night it was Bison. If looks could kill.
I was excited when I read last year that Ted's was coming to Charlotte. They opened a week ago last Wednesday. Today we drove down from Cornelius to give them a try.
The Ted's in Marietta is nice but a bit dated while this one as you would expect is nice and fresh. Beautiful bar as you walk in and you are immediately at the hostess station. We were seated immediately in a booth on the edge of the main dining area. Nice dark woods and muted colors that work well together,
Our server was there immediately with menu's and to take our drink orders. She is good for the store in up selling because I had not thought about an appetizer till she mentioned it. Went for a cup of the Bison Chili and it was great. The slices of jalapeno made for a nice contrast in both taste and texture The Bison Chili is reason enough to come here.
For my entree, I had a Knife and Fork Bison Chili Cheese Open Faced Sandwich with a 50/50 side of fries and onion rings. Portions were very large and it's a delicious concept. Really enjoyed that one.
My wife and a Black and Blue Steak Salad which she really liked.She asked for the Sirloin Steak to be cooked medium and it was exactly that. Again large portions.
Can't believe how well this place is run after such a short time in business. I've know a number of very good restaurant today that did not get their feet on the ground for several months after they opened.
Definitely a keeper and it was worth the drive down from Cornelius. We will be back.
