Ted’s Frostop

The burgers are delicious. I ordered two double lot-​O-​Burger fully dressed for $ 9.95 each plus taxes. I watched the guy at the grill grab 3 large patties and 1 small. The hold time I’m thinking I hope that’s not my other patty. Guess what he surely put it on my burger and handed it to me. I opened the box took the patties off thinking that the smaller one must just be thicker instead but it wasn’t. It was definitely a small patty. I asked the cashier why was it like that. She said the order was wrong. They asked the guy on the grill why was it like that and he struggled his shoulder and said I don’t. Then I explain to him that I watched the hold thing. He accidentally put the small patty on the grill instead of another large then looked over his shoulder and made sure no one was looking but It didn’t seem like I was paying attention but I was. Talking about no integrity. All I ask is that I get what I pay for. I did get the correct party and told them thanks. I don’t write reviews normally but I surely read them a lot. The food here is quite good. I have been here before and had great service it’s just this experience was a poor one.

I like it. Plain n’ simple.
My brother-​in-​law isn’t a fan — but I am.
Came three times (two breakfasts — one lunch) and each time was solid by me.
Give it a shot. At first appearance, it’s for show. But then you quickly realize it’s not.

The Pros: great atmosphere, fast service, takes NOLA Bucks for Tulane students, awesome root beer floats, and delicious poboys.
The Cons: sometimes the servers don’t pay attention to your needs, it doesn’t really seem like they want to be there, but I keep coming back regardless because it’s good food at an affordable price.

I can’t speak on the food as I came strictly for a root beer float to satisfy an intense pregnancy craving, but from the looks of it, it didn’t seem bad. It reminds me of an updated diner from the golden 1950’s era. The menu isn’t overwhelming and includes burgers, chicken strips and a few different po boys. The Lot O’ Burger po boy was calling my name and will probably be an item I will try on my next visit. My root beer float was good and I would definitely come back for that, if anything.

Ted’s. What a place! From the moment to drove by it, I knew, that place is special! It wasn’t until shortly after that my friend told me, «Mike, that’s the sorta place your dad woulda taken ya as a kid! You’ll like that! We’ll go.»
Ted’s Frostop is like the A&W of the south, but so so much better in every way! Walking in the door, I had the impression that Teds hasn’t changed a thing in 60 years. And you know what, I don’t hold that against them, and you won’t either!
For the price, this place is a must!
Go with the egg po-​boy!

Wouldn’t change a thing!
I agree that this is more a place of nostalgia than anything, but the cheeseburger was exactly what I had hoped for, as were the crinkle cut fries. It is nothing fancy, but the rootbeer is great, and the food is served at the right speed.
Very casual, and a great place to bring kids after school, as seemed to be the norm when I was there around 4:00 PM.

Ted’a Frostop, is a throwback in more ways than I can count.
Good Burgers, good fries, good ice cream and red Cream Soda.
Ter kids meals, are big enough for adults and include a drink and ice cream for under five dollars.
If you have little ones, and I do, bring them here to an afternoon treat.

Best Root beer!!! We even walked 2 miles to get here! The burgers were good too! Small little place, but good drive-​in ambiance.

the burger was pretty good the root beer float outstanding. just your old style car hop type place. good for a fast bite

Ted’s Frostop: it evokes a feeling of nostalgia for days past, where neighborhood diners and «greasy spoons» were the norm mid-​20^th Century. Think «Route 66» to get a better idea.
Food: Breakfest available throughout the day, including «all you can eat» pancakes for under $ 5. I had the establishment’s signature «Lotaburger» with cheddar cheese ($ 1 extra, though other toppings were also available for addon charge as well) as a combo with crinkle cut fries and a soft drink (I went for the Barq’s red cream soda, but Frostop also has their own brand of root beer available) for a $ 3 upgrade. Cost was approximately $ 10 for the entire meal, on par with most fast food joints in the area. The meat patty was a bit thin, but the sandwich was tasty, not dry, and not too greasy. The fries were nothing special, but they were filling. I left satisfied with a full stomach. (3 stars, mostly on value)
Service: You order at the front counter, and your name is shouted out for pick up from the counter. Cashier was efficient, and the order (made fresh) was ready in less than 10 minutes. Tables and booths are cleaned after a customer leaves. (3 stars, based on efficiency of service)
Facilities: As noted above, this place is a roadside-​style diner, and I wasn’t disapponted. Booths and tables were available. The drink fountain was in good order, and the bathroom looks recently upgraded and clean. I would appreciate if there was a greater sense of urgency by the staff to clean tabletops after customers leave, but the restaurant was tidy otherwise. (3 stars – nothing special, and not sursprised in either a positive or negative manner, other than slow table cleaning)
Bonus: Free play on their antique pinball machines (one funtional, one not) and Ms. Pacman. Put in a game or 2 while you wait for your order. Fun for kids of all ages!
Overall: an average «casual dining» establishment, a small step above fast food in quality and service. I would go back for breakfast or a quick lunch, just for fun.

Ted’s Frostop is an excellent little burger place across Tulane’s campus. While it is a tad bit more than a normal basic burger joint, it’s appeal and rootbeer can’t be beat. The burgers are fantastic, the fries as well, and the root beer is superb. The place is a bit run down, but it’s proper and clean where it counts: bathrooms, tables, and seating. Great establishment, considering there’s nothing quite like it in that part of uptown.

Breakfast here is great and there’s never a huge wait. The place has the feel of old time diner. The menu is basic, but portions are generous and prices are low — eggs any style, bacon, grits, home fries, biscuits and pancakes. The pancakes here are delicious! Outside texture is a little crispy. Inside they’re a tiny bit sweet and unlike any others I’ve had. Their biscuits are buttery and decadent. I usually get the Early Bird (2 eggs, bacon, grits, and pancakes). Try their root beer too.

Ok old fashioned burger and rootbeer place. Decent burgers good rootbeer. Outside seating too. Servers abrupt. Been there twice with same result.

Stopped in to Ted’s before our weekly Thursday ride. It was a throwback experience. If you want to know what burgers and the beginnings of fast food was like in the 50’s this is the spot. The burger quality was very good. The rootbeer float was ok, would have been better with real ice cream rather than soft serve. The Frostop rootbeer is a throwback also, nice flavor. They even still have the outside window where I am guessing some of us had to be waited on back in the day. If you are in the area looking for a burger this is not a bad option especially if you like a burger on french which is their specialty.

I enjoyed my burger and fries for $ 5.95. The staff was friendly enough and the meal was hearty. I enjoyed it there and would probably return in the future.

I stopped in this morning for a quick breakfast with a friend. I ordered the grits and bacon and it was pretty good. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich (sausage, egg, and cheese) on a biscuit and said it hit the spot. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. I would go back.

I like Ted’s Frostop. It’s a no frills yet friendly locals type of place. The workers know the customers and the orders don’t change it’s really not more to ask for. They serve a pretty good breakfast and lunch. My preferred meals include the cheeseburger, and the catfish. Its pretty fresh and made on the spot. No complaints here.
The root beer is pretty yummy as well but expect to get a sugar.
Ample parking so shouldn’t have any problems there as well.
I suggest going in for lunch. It takes you back a little and enjoy a lunch special!

The Best Burgers in town. Love everything about this burger, and the bread it just PERFECT! Was so good went twice in one day.

Four stars for the atmosphere.
Four stars for the food.
Three stars for the price.
The atmosphere of this place is great. It has that «50’s diner» type of feel that I really liked. The menu is on the wall, you decide what you want, you go up and order, they take your name and you wait to be called.
They have a whole selection of things to choose from such as poboys, salads and all day breakfast. They also have daily lunch specials such as red beans and rice and meatloaf, depending on the day. I decided to get what they are known for– the burger. I got the Lot-​O-​Burger with cheddar cheese, fries and the Frostop root beer.
The burger was good and had a lot of flavor and was nicely dressed with lettuce, tomato and cheese and I liked that the fries were sprinkled with salt and a spicy flavoring that gave them a little kick. The root beer was delicious, and free refills are always nice.
My only complaint is the price. For my burger, fries and drink, the total was $ 9.30. That’s not a lot of money at all, but that just seems like a little more than I would like to pay for a quick lunch, especially considering I ordered at a counter and picked it up myself. That’s a small little thing and I will definitely be back as I did enjoy my meal (and off the record, I completely cleaned my little basket).

Last month, I was running errands along Claiborne Ave and decided I deserved a Frostop breakfast. So I ordered and sat down, after a moment the counter person said that they had stopped serving breakfast… less than 30 minutes ago.
So much confusion ensued since I thought they served breakfast whenever they were open and the answer was the used to and they would be doing so again soon… and they just gave me my breakfast. So all’s well that ends well. My breakfast was like $ 3 and totally filling and tasty.
Plus I got to hangout and watch an old guy relishing a frosty mug of root beer while playing a old school mechanical pinball machine with actual bells and other analog noises.
Good times.
