(34,136 posts)There are only a few of these, started by Ted Turner (who started CNN) to sell bison raised on his ranch. The locations for the chain originally were places where Ted owned land - that is the only reason there is one in Tallahassee. He owns a plantation in Jefferson County and has to fly into Tallahassee to get there.
The menu is American, and ranges from bison and beef steaks and burgers, to chicken, fish, and, one of my favorite, bison stew. The food is good, made fresh, and there is enough variety to keep me happy.
That said, I would probably eat there only a few times a month, even if meals were free every day. We live about twelve miles away and it's just too much hassle to dress and drive into town to eat out regularly. Heck, the closest place to get a meal is two miles away at the country store (the smoked sausages they have been selling out of the same building for a hundred years are world famous and they also smoke their own bacon!). Next closest places are five or six miles by road, but I seldom go out.
Ted's is where my husband and I go out for our birthday and anniversary dinners and I'd just as soon keep it a special place that we seldom indulge in.
