Ted's is the home of the steamed cheeseburger. If you have never had one you owe it to yourself to try it. The service is not the best but you're there for the burger and it's worth the wait.

These guys revolutionized the cheeseburger by steaming it! It may sound gross, but it's soooooo good, and having melted cheddar on it is delicious. Small place, but great food!
