Ted’s Montana Grill
My family used to go to Ted’s a lot when it first opened. Until the novelty wore off. Then we totally forgot about it for a couple of years. We visited again three times in the last two months. Most everything is still the same, except for a miss or two.
First the hits. The Bison burger is really fresh and very good depending on the location. The one in Norcross (at The Forum) and the one in Midtown both make consistently great burgers: the ground meat is seasoned very, very lightly before grilling, just enough so that the real bison flavor gets to stand out. I also like that my burgers always come out at the perfect temperature. The one in Cumming (The Avenue), unfortunately, makes theirs bland. And they tend to overcook their burgers.
The Bison Chili is fantastic. Always. It is meaty and flavorful and only has a few beans in them. I don’t like beany chili — I’ve had some where there are more beans than ground meat. The chili here is really so good. There are big clumps of ground meat despite having been simmered for hours. Partner this with their heavenly fresh baked rolls and it’s already a meal in itself.
The Bison Meatloaf is also very good. But I’ve gotten one or two orders at different places that were dry. This meatloaf tastes just like beef meatloaf so for those who are apprehensive in trying bison, this is a great way to initiate yourself. I really love bison meat because it tastes great — it’s not gamey at all and it actually tastes much like beef. No to mention it is leaner and contains less calories and cholesterol than beef or chicken.
The Pot Roast lately, has been watery most times especially at the Cumming location. However, when you do get a good one, it is fork-tender and the sauce is smooth and flavorful. It is available on Saturdays and one day during the week.
If ever you get a craving for a bison burger or just want a light lunch of bison chili, head on over to Ted’s on Midtown or Norcross. They make it good. All the time.
Insider tip:
You must leave room for the Malted Chocolate Milkshake made with Haagen-Dazs ice-cream.

I tried the one in Decatur two weeks ago. I really enjoyed my bison burger and I loved the mashed potatoes.
