What is worth choosing

Choosing Ted's Montana Grill means opting for a unique American dining experience that stands out in the crowded New York food scene. While the prices are on the higher side, particularly for steaks, the overall value is found in its distinctive offerings and friendly atmosphere. The service is consistently praised as being "incredible," "irresistible," and "attentive," with staff like Kenya leaving a lasting positive impression on diners. This high level of service is a significant factor in making a meal here memorable and enjoyable, even when the restaurant is busy.

The real draw of Ted's Montana Grill is its menu, particularly the bison. While a customer review noted that the bison steak was "just okay" and "not exceptionally delicious," this feedback should be considered in the context of personal preference and the vastness of the menu. The restaurant’s reputation is built on more than just one dish. Many customers, for example, highly recommend the burgers, which are a major feature of the menu. For those looking to try something different, the bison meatloaf, short ribs, and the various burgers offer a chance to explore the unique flavor of bison in a more accessible and often more praised format. The starters, like the Bar None Bison Sliders and the Bison Nachos, are also excellent choices for sharing and getting a taste of what the restaurant is all about.

Beyond the signature bison, Ted's Montana Grill offers a broad range of classic comfort foods, from the Snowcrest Chicken Fried plate to the St. Phillip's Crab Cakes, ensuring there's something for everyone in your group. The extensive side menu, featuring options like Fresh Cut French Fries and Parmesan Roasted Broccoli, allows for a customizable dining experience. The restaurant is also a great option for families, thanks to its kids' menu with various kid-friendly choices, including bison steak. The combination of a welcoming, casual atmosphere, attentive service, and a menu that goes beyond the standard steakhouse fare makes Ted's Montana Grill a great choice for a fulfilling and unique meal in Midtown. While a single dish might not always live up to every expectation, the overall dining experience—from the friendly crowd to the excellent cocktails and desserts—is often what makes patrons highly recommend and return to this New York gem.

We came for dinner, mainly intending to have steak. We ordered the bison steak, and we can say it was just okay. It wasn’t exceptionally delicious, to be honest. Just an average steak—not a dish that lives up to the reputation of the place. We had tried the burger before, and it was good, but we wouldn’t recommend this place for steak. The table didn’t feel very clean to me. Price is very high. However, the waiter was attentive, and we appreciate that.

Decent place in the middle of the hustle and bustle of manhattan. Got to try their bison, which was very nice. Better as a steak than in a burger. The service was good as well and prices are decent as well as the portions. Worth a visit.

Nice restaurant, lighting could be better. Well known for its Bison meat.Food is okay, not the best.Staff are friendly but seem busy all the time, and could not get attention to order more drinks.

The negative feedback often seems personal. Each item delivers big flavor. Their interior creates a distinct experience. Their staff creates comfortable relationships. Ted's Montana Grill continues to rank highly in my dining preferences.
