Looking for a local greasy spoon in east Charlotte? This place has slipped under the radar for some reason.
I used to go here on a regular basis when I worked nearby. Ted's has been on Monroe Rd since the early 1980's. The lunchtime is pretty busy and its nice to see blue and white collar workers mixing together. The food is pretty good. It's your typical Greek-owned-Southern-down-home-cooking place. The lunch specials are around $6. They have a superburger, which is decidedly American in its caloric value and bulk. I love the gyros as well, they don't spare on the meat. And the onion rings...HOMEMADE.
Their specialty is Grecian Chicken. Its roasted and covered in an orange spice/sauce. A little greasy...but its called a greasy spoon for a reason. If you're on Monroe Rd. between Sardis and Idlewild, its not a bad stop for lunch. Its near across the street from the Amish furniture store and down the street from the McAlpine Park. And if you're a regular, the wait staff will likely learn your name.
