Dinner at the Garage When you visit Ted's for the first time you'll soon find that most things on the menu aren't called by their usual names. Tasty onion rings are called "Piston Rings" and our steaks include the "Cheyenne" Sirloin and the "Silverado" Ribeye. Make a mess? Wipe it up with our shop towel napkins! When you're not eating, check out our vintage cars in the showroom and enjoy the 1950's memorabilia that include pictures of Clinton from decades past, and gas pumps from a day when gas only $0.26 a gallon!
Great Service and the Best Food At Ted's we have a commitment to great service and even better food. Like a good garage, we take pride in what we do and stand behind all our work. Our steaks are USDA Choice Certified Black Angus, and our customers say our baby back ribs are the BEST in the country! If any you are unsatisfied with any part of your experience at Ted's, please let us know, and we will make it right!
