    The ribs were soft, sauce plain, sides balanced. Overall decent but not exciting, a fair three-star rating.

    Smoked wings, pulled pork sandwich, potato salad and iced tea
    Jason D.

    Found this place based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Yelp and the 100% health score. This place hit it out of the park on both counts. The wings were absolutely some of the very best which I've ever had, to include my own which I smoke on the BGE. They are on-par with those found Billy's Boardwalk in Charlotte. I also had the pulled park and the potato salad. Both were phenomenal and would stand out on their own. The host/cook/manager/owner took my order and I seated myself. The place is spotless and it's quite evident the staff take great care to clean as well as they cook/smoke their meats. You don't want to miss this joint. I will be back again. Well done Ted's!!!

    Fast service.. classic Ted's ambiance. Tried the wings and give them a 5/5. Also like the spicy ranch on chef salads

    The sausage on the sandwich was amazing. Star of the show for me though had to be the BBQ beans. AMAZING. I wish I would have just gotten double sides of those. Sauce and slaw on the sandwich made it very very good. Would definitely recommend!!

    The Ted's BarBQ on Madison Boulevard was a Golden Rule BBQ years back, but Ted's has survived for a long time now. What's right? Location, the food is warm, the price is reasonable, the atmosphere, and their condiments are easy to get. What's wrong? Service, attention to detail, and dry Q! Ted's is easy to get to from Hwy 20, and the parking is easy. For three (one to go) we are for less than $30. That's good compared to many. After we were seated the food came fresh/warm. The sides were decent. Placing you order is a wait in line and then you choose your seat. There was one family ahead of my party of two. I checked in with Yelp, and my son was excited to see a complimentary banana pudding or peach cobbler offer. It took Ted's longer than ten minutes to take our order. As we finally sat down we realized that they didn't give us credit for the banana pudding (keep an eye on them). There was nobody at the register to work with me, and I decided to let it go. Bad taste and the food hasn't hit the table :). The pork BBQ sandwich was dry! I loaded mine with sauce to add moisture and ate half of it. Not Ted's night for my review. Why three stars and not less? I have been here before and know they can do better. They do need to step it up a notch, though. If I had more time I would have talked to them to work it out. It is too late for a school night :).

    Hello. I have a gluten intolerance. What items on your menu are gluten free?

    I also don't know

    Are the tamales gluten free?

    I'm not sure

    Can you tell me if the jalapeño cornbread is gluten free? I love the pulled smoked chicken & white sauce, also the slaw is the best!

    Heather that is a great question! Our jalapeño cornbread does contain gluten. We are always looking for great gluten free options but we haven't found one for our jalapeño cornbread yet. Thank you so much for choosing Ted's! We hope to see you back… Read more

    The flies on the patio are beyond nasty. When I walked into the restaurant, people were complaining…read moreabout the flies inside. That was nothing to the patio. But I came to see the band, food was really just a bonus. The food itself was really good - I had fried green tomatoes with pulled pork. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and crisp. The pork, however was room temperature. Honestly, if I had known about the flies, I doubt that I would have even considered eating tepid pork. There was a slight drizzle of sauce but I had to go back up and request sauce. Other reviews mentioned the saltiness of the dish. If anything, it was under seasoned. I bought my grandson a chicken finger kids meal and subbed mac and cheese for the fries. The meal came with three large house made tenders. They would have been enough for me (unfortunately the fly infestation made leftovers unthinkable.) Like the tomatoes, the tenders came sans sauce necessitating another trip to the counter. He devoured the mac and cheese. It was a little soupy and had kind of congealed sauce around the edges before it was even served. I'd order it for him again but not for me. Oh, and ask for a spoon before you leave the counter. The fork that came with was for all intents and purposes useless. (Yes, another trip to the counter). The patio is a great venue. Grab a beer, grab a seat and enjoy the band. As for food? Maybe wait until winter when the flies are gone.

    Will edit this after I eat, looking forward to trying it out. Friendly staff, and opened January…read more2025. You can call ahead and place an order. There is limited seating space, so plan to take it to go or have it delivered with either grub hub or door dash. Hush puppies are smaller than what I would expect, but you get 4 as a small. Medium is 8, and large is 16. Upgrade to at least an 8, because they will be gone too quickly and you will wish you had more. Flavor is good, a little on the salty side but that is a plus for people who love salt. Tartar sauce tastes freshly made, but has a hint of spicy sweet pickles (not dill, unless it is a mix of both). One odd mix is it comes with a slice of white loaf bread (not homemade nor is it toasted with butter, which is almost what I would expect with a fish plate). It was separated from the baked beans with parchment paper, so the bread did not get messy nor moist - but I would like to see this elevated to something else. The baked beans are basic baked beans. Not much flavor, so if you like blandish beans they are ok. I will skip the baked beans next time and try a different side item. The catfish is the main feature in this dish. It is fried with a seasoned batter, this is probably where the salt comes from in the hush puppies. The fish goes well with the tartar sauce, but I ran out of that with the first fillet (so get at least two tarter sauces). There are portions of the fish with more seasoned fried batter than fish. One plus side for those with kids is I did not run across any bones. I think next time I will try their bbq baked potato, double down on the jalapeño hush puppies and order before they cook too many catfish fillets. I think 4/5 is a fair rating. It is not "catfish cabin" from my childhood, but nothing ever is. It did satisfy a catfish craving, and for those who want catfish - it is at least is a decent option.
