TED'S Eatery & Bar

Ted's Eatery & Bar is a cherished family-owned American restaurant nestled in the heart of Spring Lake, Michigan, just minutes from the scenic Lake Michigan shoreline. Founded by Ted Fricano and rooted in Sicilian heritage—his father Cosimo (Gus) Fricano was born to immigrants from Bagheria, Sicily—this beloved eatery has been serving the community with authentic American comfort food and warm hospitality since 1968. The restaurant buzzes with a fun, welcoming atmosphere where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy generous portions of classic American dishes with creative twists. Menu highlights include their legendary Cuban Sandwiches (celebrated nationally on Cuban Sandwich Day), the indulgent Brisket Queso Dip, crispy Truffle Parmesan Fries, and the iconic TED'S Original Wet Burrito. Fresh seafood options like Parmesan Dusted Walleye, Lobster Mac, and Santa Fe Salmon showcase the best of Michigan's aquatic bounty. The full bar serves craft cocktails, local beers, and fine wines. Ted's offers convenient online ordering via Toast, catering services for events of all sizes, and accommodates reservations for intimate dinners or larger parties. With over 1,000 reviews praising their friendly staff, generous portions, and consistent quality, Ted's Eatery & Bar remains a cornerstone of Spring Lake's culinary scene, blending family tradition with contemporary American dining.
