With a 4.5-star rating out of 19 reviews on Yelp, Denver Ted's has been getting positive attention.
Yelper James L., who reviewed the eatery on July 7, wrote, "Best cheesesteaks in Denver! Hot, fresh and delicious. The fries were good too. Local beer list was nice. And they have Sorry built into their tables, so you can play while you wait. Great vibe inside and out."
Patrick S. added, "This place is a Denver staple. For a long time it was the secret of Capitol Hill, but it's great to see these cheesesteaks have found their way into prime time right next to the ballpark area."
Denver Ted's is open from 11 a.m.–11 p.m. daily.
