This review is specifically about the breakfast menu and the drive-thru service. First off, Ted's breakfast menu has proven to be very tasty, especially their flapjacks with bananas (I highly recommend them). The only problem is the drive-thru: the ladies who run it routinely leave out items from my order (syrup or coffee creamers), so I always check my order before leaving the window. This morning, it was the syrup. When I asked for it, they argued with me that it was actually missing. That's no way to treat a customer! I called a manager (first time I've complained about any of the missing items), so hopefully she'll take care of the problem. After I talked to her, I realized they forgot the bananas in the flapjacks BOTTOM LINE: breakfast is great! Just don't bother going though the drive-thru NOTE: I've never had a problem with the lunch or dinner crew. I think the young ladies at breakfast just need a little training on attention to detail and interacting with customers. Please fix it, Ted's! You're a great breakfast alternative in the area! read more

Pretty good B-B-Q, great beans and excellent vinegar based coleslaw. Clean tables, lots of seating, fair prices, we'll be back.

Never judge a book by its cover. Drove up and it looked like a re-purposed used car sales lot/McDonalds... nevertheless, this place is amazing. Prices are incredibly reasonable and amazing since the food is so great. I ordered the pork and 6 wings. Pork was great and the wings were some of the best ive ever had. read more

My fave has always been Big Bob Gibson's but, Ted's ranked high too! We had shredded pork, baked beans & French fries. Delicious

Good food. We were very impressed with all of our food. Baked beans had meat added and were delicious. Pork sandwich was sliced and very tasty. My part shared fries and they were crunchy and made just right. This was my first visit and I will be back. read more

First off, some of the best BBQ I have ever put in my mouth! Beans and potato salad are really good, as well. Nice and welcoming establishment. Restaurant is very nice and I loved the color scheme in the ladies room Best of all is the service and staff. So friendly and respectful! Next time, I will be trying the ribs! They only cook ribs and brisket on certain days and it is 1st come, 1st serve. Never heard of anyone doing that before. However, if the rest of it was as great as the BBQ, I don't mind waiting on it! Highly recommend whether your eating there or picking up. Well worth it! read more

I'm from San Diego and was visiting my best friend in Alabama for a week. She told me about Teds and said it was a must before going back home. I ordered a potato with pork I think and she got a meal. We also got the banana pudding which was TO DIE FOR as well as a bunch of sides. We came in as a party of 10 and everyone left super happy and full!! I also bought two tees for souvenirs. I'm super bummed that I won't be able to go teds in California but I know for sure everytime I visit my friend we'll have to make a stop. Super friendly people and great service!! read more

I picked up a family pack with the 1lb pulled pork, bbq beans, green beans, cold slaw and 8 buns. OMG the beans were addicting along with the green beans and bbq. I could have been satisfied with their awesome beans alone as it has bbq infused. The pulled pork had a tasty and light smokey flavor and was very good even without the sauce. I had the spicy bbq sauce on the side and added it to my next sandwich and WOW what a great top notch BBQ sandwich! The sauce is different and has to be the best I have had. It has a smoked taste and a faint amount of heat. Our check was much less than I expected! We will be back with our friends for another meal soon! read more

I went thru the drive thru and ordered a half slab of ribs which was delicious as was the BBQ sauce that was on it. Also had a chicken sandwich lunch combo with the sides being Mac n cheese & bbq beans. Both good...the pulled chicken however had a few bone fragments...if not for that, the sandwich would've been good as well. I might go again, but would be leery about ordering the pulled chicken again. read more

Pretty good food. Hadn't eaten in about 16 hours so I was hoping for great. I got the chicken and sausage with green beans and mac n cheese. Place was empty but several people came in while I sat eating. Food was served on styrofoam plate with plastic ware. Didn't care for that and it took away from the food. Chicken was tender and sausage flavorful. Beans tasted sweet slightly and mac n cheese tasted like it was from a box. read more

Flew into HSV to eat. We usual go to another place down the road but decided to try this place. BOOM! WOW! Any BBQ has to judged by the meat....almost perfect. We had the pork, sausage and wings. They were all excellent. Cool little funky place, great music. The wings are stupid good. All the sides we tried we outstanding. Great job Ted's read more

Ted's Bar-B-Q - Menu board at Ted's! - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Alabama

Great food! The sides were plenty and the potato salad was great. The only down side for me was no Okra.

They have AMAZING biscuits!!! I think they are cheddar biscuits but still incredible! They wait for drive through can sometimes feel like it takes forever but it's worth it. I know it's not really that long (it just feels like it) but the wait inside has never been long. They have good food and friendly service so I love this place even though I forget about it sometimes. read more

I stumbled on this just after moving to Alabama and I can't enjoy subpar BBQ since! This is truly the best bbq I have ever had and I go here often. I have tried literally everything on the menu for lunch and dinner and a few breakfast items. I haven't gotten one bad thing yet! I took so long to review because I didn't want people to find out about it. After a 30 minute wait this morning I would say it's too late haha. read more

Wings were good and so was the Mac and Cheese. Great place for fast food concept. Corn bread not great. It was dry and not as flavorful.

This place has some ok BBQ and they offer tamales that I enjoyed even more. They had a nice spicy flavor and were moist and nicely made. The combo plate we ordered came with sausage and pulled pork which was very dry. Yes they gave me a huge side of sauce but still I expect some moisture in my meat. I haven't decided when I'll return as I'm still working may way around the city. read more

I like how spacious it is here. Even if it's busy, it doesn't really feel like it because there is a lot of room and I enjoy that. The staff is also very welcoming. Ted's BBQ has always been my favorite barbecue. I usually eat there for lunch in the downtown Huntsville area so hearing about this place opening up near my home was really exiting. Give this place a try! read more

Ted's is usually pretty good, but unfortunately, not consistent in its quality. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich (to go) and the meat was old and dry. I had requested spicy sauce, but they did not put any on it. The peach cobbler wasn't good either. I'll think twice before eating there again. Update 4/25: The owner of Ted's BBQ contacted me very concerned about my recent less than satisfying dining experience. He investigated the incident, reported the findings to me, and assured me that going forward I can expect an exceptional meal and superior service. I have to say that he takes customer service and satisfaction to the next level. And am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Several times we order a lb of meat and get less than a lb. Today the problems were online ordering site down, no mention of breakfast only til 11 on website, sat several minutes in drive thru before anyone acknowledged us, ordered turkey but told at window after paying that turkey was not ready, kids at the window were rude. We have complained to the mgnt but have seen no improvement. Pretty much done with this place, which is maddening because the food is really good. read more

great food, decent procing, super fast. 5 star for sure

They have BBQ. It's good. Quick service. Not gonna blow your mind though. Decent prices.

I'm from up north and never would've entertained the thought of a fast food BBQ joint. Friend said try Ted's... mannnnnn the brisket was FIRE! Service A-1. Wish we had Ted's up yonder read more

Wings are very good!!! Very big and with the good smokey flavor. The pulled chicken in excellent along with the bbq beans and Mac n cheese!!!!! read more

Consistently good food and service! We love coming here and have for years! The BBQ Wings are incredible and so is the smoked turkey! The sweet tea is also delicious. Thanks for being such a great place over and over! read more

Absolutely awful! Dry, tough ribs with a weird textured sauce/rub. Cornbread had no taste and the other sides were just average. Won't be back. read more

Ted's is great to have in Madison especially down on the old Madison pike part of town. The BBQ is real good. I am particularly fond of the big double #6 on the menu which is sausage pulled pork and coleslaw on a bun. Recommend getting two sides w Mac and cheese fries or baked beans. Restaurant super clean inside and plenty of seating added bonus have decent amount of tvs usually playing ESPN and they have some good tunes playing as well. read more

Food is great a good quick stop for lunches. The best part is that the employees are so darn nice! Like seriously they offer to refill your drink, take away your plate and start conversations just that be kind. Recommended for sure! read more

I'm from Memphis and my wife is from Atlanta. We need a Ted's in Memphis and Atlanta. The grilled chicken is amazing. We had the Mac n Chz, potato salad and baked beans as sides; ALL AMAZING! Had banana pudding for desert and was soooooo good! We'll definitely be eating Ted's all weekend while we're here in the area. read more

My family loves this little spot! Every time we've gotten quick service & the food is so good

Poor drive-thru experience. Young girl was rude and a second young girl stood by her laughing. Too many choices to be treated rudely.

Loved the Mac n cheese. The music was so great I asked if it was an album but the owner created his own play list. It complimented the decor perfectly. read more

This was great! Could improve the quality of their Mac n cheese but that's my only complaint

Sausage was good but pulled pork was dry. Mac and cheese left a soapy twang on my palate with an after taste of dawn dish soap. 3 stars out of 5 at best. Fries were wonderful though. read more

We are here for a soccer game and found Teds for a quick lunch. We had the pulled chicken sandwich which had white sauce and Cole slaw on it and it was fantastic. The chicken was moist and delicious. Potato salad was very good, skip having green beans - nothing special about them. Overall everything was excellent. Restaurant and bathrooms were extremely clean! read more

The restaurant had a nice interior and it was clean. Food was good. We had some issues with our order, but the manager made everything right. Would definitely visit again! read more

I've been to a few locations with similar results on food but varying service. I'm not a big fan of what they prepare but the BBQ sandwiches are pretty good for the run. The Madison location is the newest and among my favorite. Not overly crowded and service is prompt. read more

The ribs and sides were great. The baked beans are probably the best we've had anywhere. The staff was all very friendly. The checked up on us about every 5 minutes to see if we needed anything. read more
