The eatery serves wood smoked mullet and hamburgers in a casual atmosphere of stools and picnic tables.

It has been featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. German potato salad and Manhattan clam chowder have also become classic dishes at the restaurant. Ted Peters died in 2003 at 91.[1] Ted Peters is located at 1350 Pasadena Avenue.[2] Fruit pies made by Ted's mom were once a feature of the business.[3]
