November 1972 – Ted & Bob Open New Building [BACK TO TOP]

They weren’t sure what to call the restaurant at first. Then a customer suggested they use the first two letters of each owner’s name. Ted & Bob was combined and Tebo's was born.

Ted and Bob always had a close relationship with the thousands of customers who ate at Tebos each week. Can you imagine knowing 85% of your customers by name? Well, they did. And the customers knew they could count on consistent, high quality food. And several months of the year of fresh (and famous) Strawberry Shortcake.

In 2005, Tebo's changed hands. But Ted & Bob sold the restaurant to two guys who have worked at Tebo's for more than 25 years. Craig Klein and John Karlik started their Tebo's career flipping burgers and washing dishes. Then, they managed the restaurant for many years before finally having the chance to buy it.

Craig and John are continuing Tebo's heritage of consistently having the highest quality food. And just like Ted and Bob before them, they know thousands of their customers by name. If you eat there often, expect them to learn your name, too.
