Ted’s Hot Dogs Finally Coming to Chandler

After years of anticipation, it’s official—Ted’s Hot Dogs is bringing its iconic charcoal-grilled hot dogs to the northwest corner of Gilbert Rd. and Germann in Chandler. The land was purchased back in 2017 for $800,000, and after waiting nearly a decade, construction is now moving forward at full speed.

A Taste of Buffalo in Arizona

Ted’s Hot Dogs first started in Buffalo, New York, in 1927. Known for their charcoal-grilled hot dogs, onion rings, and milkshakes, Ted’s quickly became a household name. While the brand is a Buffalo classic, Arizona has been lucky enough to enjoy its flavors for decades.

The first Arizona location opened in Tempe in 1983, and it has since become a Valley staple, especially for East Coast transplants craving a taste of home. Over the years, Ted’s expanded to Mesa and Goodyear, each location attracting loyal fans who swear by the charbroiled hot dogs and fresh-cut onion rings.

Chandler Joins the Lineup

Now it’s Chandler’s turn. Positioned at Gilbert and Germann, the new restaurant will serve as a convenient spot for locals who previously had to drive to Tempe, Mesa, or Goodyear for their Ted’s fix. With Chandler’s growing food scene, Ted’s is set to be a welcome addition, offering something both nostalgic and delicious.

Why People Love Ted’s

It’s not just about hot dogs—it’s about tradition. Ted’s grills their hot dogs over real charcoal, giving them a smoky flavor that’s tough to beat. Pair that with fresh onion rings, handmade milkshakes, and the famous Loganberry drink (a Buffalo staple), and you’ve got a meal that generations of fans keep coming back for.

Coming Soon

While no official opening date has been announced yet, construction moving forward means Chandler residents can finally start counting down. After nearly eight years of waiting, Ted’s Hot Dogs is ready to make its mark in Chandler.
