Ted’s Montana Grill is a true gem for anyone who loves exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a relaxed yet classy atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a team that genuinely cares about making your dining experience unforgettable. The menu is a celebration of high-quality, flavorful dishes, with something for everyone to enjoy. Their bison options are absolutely outstanding—tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the Bison Delmonico steak and their classic burgers, which are packed with flavor and worth every bite. For sides, the onion rings and garlic mashed potatoes were an absolute hit at our table. One of the highlights of Ted’s Montana Grill is their attention to detail. The use of sustainable practices and eco-friendly materials speaks volumes about their commitment to both great food and the planet. It’s not every day you find a restaurant that combines these values so seamlessly. The ambiance is another win for Ted’s. The rustic yet polished decor creates a cozy environment perfect for both casual dinners and special celebrations. It's clear that every aspect of the experience has been thoughtfully curated, from the soft lighting to the impeccable cleanliness. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations without being overbearing. The timing of our meals was spot on, and everything came out hot and fresh. Ted’s Montana Grill is the kind of place you’ll want to visit again and again. Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, you can expect consistently fantastic food and service. Five stars, hands down! If you’re looking for a dining experience that combines flavor, quality, and heart, Ted’s Montana Grill is a must-visit.

We were in the area and found this place. A friend told us about the burgers also. Our server Whitney was friendly and professional, she gave us some information about bison meat. We ordered an appetizer, the St. Phillips crab cake with avocado and kale salad. Never liked kale that much but it was delicious. It was served with basil and vinegarette, the crab cake was superb. We also ordered the Duo Delicious burgers, two 3oz burgers one bison and one beef with the 50/50 side order of fries and onion rings. What a great choice, we were so satisfied and thank you Justin who was cooking and preparing our meal. We're going to try something else on the menu next time. Also the sweet tea is refreshing and delicious, Whitney made sure I had another refill without even having to ask.

There was ONLY a star lost for atmosphere because we had the ac leaking on us a bit but they immediately moved us when brought to their attention, they had thought the issue had already been fixed..although someone else was sat there after we were moved???.. Other than that the service in this place is top notch, the staff is super friendly sister had the brick chicken which she said was good..I had the crab cake starter and mashed potatoes and my husband and father both got cheeseburgers, (I believe husbands was George's classic?) I did try his and omg, best cheeseburger ive ever had and in my father's words and I quote "best burgers in sw fl" the crab cakes are phenomenal too! Cherry lemonade was delish but super sweet

Nice steakhouse atmosphere. They have specials the server will tell you about. The menu choices were vast. I ordered the buffalo brisket. The food was very good and my meal came out so fast, I couldn't believe it. Tender and lean buffalo brisket, garlic mashed potatoes, they really are homemade, no instant watery mush here! The carrots were truly sliced and prepared buttered carrots. It truly felt like sitting down to a home cooked meal without all the hours of work to prepare it. What could be better!

Got there around 2:30 today. I was greeted by a nice young lady by the name of Mallori. I waited for my friend to arrive. We waited for him and we sat at the bar. The place was very rustic/western steakhouse vibe. Pickles as a table treat was different and the Ted’s IPA was nice and smooth. Very citrus for an IPA. Amber was the bartender for the afternoon and had some good recommendations including the Brussel sprouts. Amber was very hardworking and we appreciated her efforts. I ordered the bison filet. Cooked to medium, it was fantastic. Amber kept a good vibe and Mallori assisted. Mallori was so sweet and helpful. We will be back soon to have shots.

We had an incredible experience at Ted's Montana Grill — and I have to start by giving a huge shoutout to Alex, the kitchen manager, who was absolutely amazing. We dine out frequently and have experienced many restaurants, but Alex’s level of service truly stood out. We came as a group of 30 people, and despite the size of our party, he managed to find us a spot within a reasonable waiting time — something that’s not easy to do! The food was outstanding, full of flavor and beautifully presented, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and a team that really knows how to take care of their guests. Thank you, Alex and the Ted Montana Grill team — we’ll definitely be back!

Ted's Montana Grill is a solid choice for those looking for a taste of bison and a rustic dining experience. The atmosphere is generally enjoyable, and the bison dishes are worth trying. However, be prepared for a slightly higher price point, but the price is definitely worth it. The quality of food is spectacular. Today i had Bison Burger Hot Green- with gvacamole and spicy aioli and jalapeno peppers" served with side of fryes and mac and cheese. The burge was one of the best burgers that i ever eat in my life it was melting in my mouth. But mac and cheese wasn't my favorite they was bit tasles. However, I was so happy with my burger and fryer that I didn't mind. The service was spectacular and very fast. The bartender behind the bar was very talkative and polite. She was making sure that everyone was happy. If you're a meat-lover looking for a unique dining experience, Ted's is worth considering.
