Teddywedgers

I visited Teddywedgers for lunch on a recent weekday. It’s a tiny store on a triangular corner with no seating right across from the capitol. However, if the weather cooperates there is plenty of seating outside on the square.
The menu consists of a variety of pasties. I was not familiar with pasties so I asked the cashier what they were. The cashier, who was friendly and congenial, showed me a ½ one which looked like a calzone and said the traditional ones are filled with meat and vegetables. He recommended getting just a half order for myself. That was an excellent recommendation as I was stuffed by the time I finished my half.
I opted for the cheesy pepperoni filling. It was fine, but to me it was just a calzone. Perhaps if I would have gotten a traditional filling I may have thought it was more unique.
The price was great. The cashier was great. It was certainly convenient. I wasn’t impressed with the product.

Chicken Pot Pie wedge is the best pot pie I’ve ever had outside of Georgia. Always hot and always delicious.

They were about the only place open on thanksgiving morning. Bread plus cheese equals awesomeness.

Anthony of Teddywedgers is a a classy guy. I’ve been here a few times before and have been satisfied with their tasty pasties. Today, however my sweet potato pasty was undercooked, doughy and not hot. Took a few bites and threw it out. Walked back to Teddy’s, explained my dissatisfaction and Anthony very graciously refunded my $ 5.50. It’s been my experience that generally the wedgers are enjoyable. Will return there. Anthony is friendly and talks to each and every customer who walks into his establishment. The high respect shown for customers here is memorable. I would have been given another sweet potato pasty but it was almost closing time and there were none to be had. I look forward to future pasties from here. I know they will be delicious!

We did breakfast. Service was quick and super friendly. Told him we were from out of town and he took care of us. Could not think of a better way to start a fall day than walking downtown Madison with a hot B-​2 in my hand. So good.

All I have to say is ew. I got a big cheese (as recommended) it was cold and kind of soggy, not the best thing. I threw it away after 4 bites.
The guy behind the counter was weird. He creeped me out. Kept looking at me weird and i was super uncomfortable.
Also, there are like, a ton of homeless people hanging out right out front. It’s super unnerving having to wade your way through them just to buy a crappy pasty.
Definitely not worth the effort. ²⁄₁₀ would not go again.

A Monument to Madison tradition the recipes keep the same traditional pasties and friendly personable service behind the counter. I’ve been going here for six years and it always has been a staple comfort food. Service and flavor have only improved.

Not good. Not good at all. The new owners SUCK. And the Wedges are gross. What happened? :(

The restaurant is under new ownership, and just reopened in the last couple weeks. The previous owner carried the recipes over from the original owner, Myles. They were excellent authentic Cornish Pasties.
This new owner must not have gotten the pasty recipes in the deal. They currently only have a couple breakfast pasties and one lunch menu option, the ground beef pasty. So I went withe the ground beef pasty.
This pasty was like eating an unseasoned dry hamburger wrapped in slightly overcooked pie crust. There was no hint of potatoes, onions, or anything but ground beef inside it. The portion size was about half the size of what the original pasties were. This actually was fine since it took a full can of soda to make it through the size that it was because it was so dry.
I will not eat there again. I can’t wait to see what will take its place next. Too bad since Teddywedger’s has been in that location for decades.
