Ordering tips

How to get the most out of Ted's Bulletin

Must-order

Get a Pop-Tart

Order at least one house-made Pop-Tart regardless of what else you get — they're $5 and the most distinctive thing on the menu. Try the seasonal flavor if available.

Weekend brunch

Bottomless cocktails are the value move

The $18 bottomless package (90 minutes) for Mimosas or Bloody Marys is one of the better per-dollar brunch drink deals in D.C. Weekends only — arrive early to maximize the window.

Reservations

Book ahead for weekend brunch

Weekend brunch at the Capitol Hill and 14th Street locations can have 30–60-minute walk-in waits. Reservations via OpenTable or Resy are strongly recommended for groups of 3 or more.

All-day breakfast

Beat the brunch rush

Because Ted's serves breakfast all day, you can get eggs, griddle dishes and Pop-Tarts on a weekday afternoon or evening with zero wait. Same menu, far fewer crowds.

Milkshake upgrade

Make it boozy

Any milkshake can be spiked with a house spirit for $14 — $3 more than the standard $11 malt. Worth it if you're already having cocktails at brunch.

Sharing

Starters share well

The Loaded Tots ($12), Pretzel Bites ($12) and Chicken Tenders ($14) are solid table-share starters. Order one alongside entrees for the table if you're in a group.

About Ted's Bulletin

The D.C. diner that made house-made Pop-Tarts famous.

Ted's Bulletin opened its first location on 8th Street SE in Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. in 2010. Named after a neighborhood bulletin board tradition, the concept set out to do the American diner right — quality ingredients, scratch cooking and a full-service sit-down experience at approachable prices.

The house-made Pop-Tarts became the restaurant's calling card almost immediately. Made from real pastry dough with fresh fruit and chocolate fillings, they're a deliberate elevation of the nostalgic original. Ted's now operates multiple D.C.-area locations plus restaurants in Reston (Virginia) and Nashville (Tennessee). Weekend brunch, with bottomless cocktail service, has made it one of the most-visited brunch spots in the D.C. metro area.
