History

[edit]

Restaurant was established in 1947 on Madeira Beach by founder Ted Peters, who moved it to South Pasadena in 1949. The eatery serves wood smoked mullet and hamburgers in a casual atmosphere of stools and picnic tables. Jeff Klinkenberg called it one of the most famous eateries in Pinellas County and included a section on it in his book Seasons of Florida. 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]
