Okay i went to Teds as a child in the 70's and it was in my memory for the toast, potatoes, and ribs. In Cali you don't find as many BEEF rib joints. While visiting this last time we went down to see if we could find that ole flavor of excellent bbq. Boy were we pleased. I was excited to see they have grown and won numerous awards. There was also more of a selection now of food to eat. I have to go back and eat again. I loved it. Great sauce with three options of mild, med or hot. Beef ribs charred and tender. Get the potatoes slathered in sauce. Loved it. Pros: Hot Food Done Right Cons: Mostly Take Out

I live close to this place and people are always coming and going from here. After almost 2 years I gave it a shot. I got a pulled beef sandwich and the sauce was red and didnt cover all the beef so it was dry for most bites. The potatoes or chips are sliced like potato chips an d friend, but they werent fried enough and they stuck together like raw french fries. I feel like if they would have given me the chips all cooked it would have been a better meal as i like home made chips. I didn't try the coleslaw because I dont like coleslaw. The menu items were posted on the walls - the pictures were taken of the items in their to-go containers, kinda lame. The area where you order and wait was so outdated, that place needs a remodel. I dont know why people go here. Pros: none Cons: awkward ordering area, dry meat

It's hard to find great BBQ in Minnesota, if you've been to the south you know what I mean. Ted Cook's definitely rates in the very top of Minnesota BBQs. Their sauce is great and I love their potatoes. If you like hot BBQ then you must try the hot sauce. I've eaten here hundreds of times and only once were the pork ribs not good. The price is fairly in line with other minnesota BBQ joints, but none compare in taste. Pros: great BBQ, great sauce, decent prices, good people Cons: small place but I always take out anyway

I have been eating take-out from this place my entire life (usually the Mild Beef) and I love it!!! The best thing about this place is that the food never changes. The taste is always the exact same, and the menu is the same. Every other BBQ place that I have tried has paled in comparison to this wonderful place. The sauce is the best sauce ever thanks to their special recipe (that they REFUSE to share with me). Apparently only like 2 people know the recipe and the sauce is made off-site for added secrecy. But it's worth the mystery surrounding it. Cost-wise, a meal at this place will often end up being cheaper than a meal at Famous Dave's, and the portions are larger as well. The staff are very hospitable and extremely friendly, even when the place is packed (and it does get crowded!!!! But it's worth it.). The inside of the place is also very clean and the pictures on the wall will make you drool!!! Pros: Service, cleanliness, quality food, excellent taste, amazing BBQ sauce, great menu, reasonably priced, lots of side choices Cons: Can get a little crowded

The sauce is great and very original. The beef was a very good cut and hardly any fat. Nice friendly service. Take-out only. Pros: Friendly service. Cons: No seating

As you can see from all of the other reviews, Ted Cooks has the BEST BBQ in the Twin Cities. The hot sauce is my favorite, and it is actually quite hot! The sides are good, the service is good, considering there's usually just one cashier handling everyone. Go get some tonight, you will not be disappointed! Pros: Great food! Cons: Hole in the wall location, parking, no sit down area.

A few friends and I ordered take out from three bbq places today. I had never been to Ted Cook's and frankly had not heard much about it locally. It blew away my expectations to say the least. The beef ribs were out of this world! They were very tender, had a wonderful smokey flavor, and very meaty. The meal came with fabulous potatoes and we also picked up a few corn muffins, both of which were outstanding. This bbq guy has had some great bbq across the country and has found a great local place that I will head back to very very soon. Pros: Service, very cheap for the quality of food Cons: take out only
