TED’S BAR-B-Q IN FIVE POINTS | Many of us had been to at least one of the three Ted’s locations in the past and we were eager to go back! The Five Points location is unique because, unlike the other two branches in Madison and Huntsville, this location has a very small parking lot and is right alongside many other businesses in the Five Points area. Surprisingly, we were able to find a parking spot right away and there wasn’t much of a line when we went to eat right around noon. We loved the long tables in the center of the dinging room – they were perfect for our large group!

Ted’s BBQ is the perfect place to grab a quick, delicious BBQ sandwich and then hit the road again. I was definitely in the mood for barbecue today so Ted’s was right up my alley. Once our group finished ordering, it took only a couple of minutes and our food was ready.

Bar B Q Pork Sandwich Combo w/French Fries and Mac n' Cheese - $9.49
I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, which I paired with a mild BBQ sauce. It was exactly what I was hoping for! Tender pulled pork sat on top of a fresh bun with a side of crispy fries and mac n’ cheese. I would recommend to anyone looking for a casual lunch-time spot or a quick drive-through order.

We came. we ate. We left. As they say — “Veni, vidi, vici”. Our experience at Ted’s was great. Got our food almost immediately and began to feast.
WHAT HE ATE:
Signature Wings (6 Wings) w/Mac n' Cheese and Green Beans - $11.99
I ended my food festivities by sitting in my chair at the office and washing down the remnant’s of my Ted’s with a 1.93 fl. oz. eternal energy shot. Ahhhh… #blessed…Before that I had the mac and cheese which was my second side. It was great. Unlike SOMMMMME of the places in HSV it actually tasted exactly like good-flavored cheese. 5/5 for the m+c. Just before that I had my first side, which was green beans. A Spaniard would call them asi asi. 2/5 STARS FOR THE GREEN BEANS. Firstly, I had 6 smoked wings that I very gently dipped in ice cold white sauce. They were so amazing that I almost swallowed a bone fragment because I was eating posthaste.

Ordered quick, got our food quick, and seating wasn’t an issue. The place was decorated nicely and it wasn’t too loud. The experience was easily a 5.
WHAT HE ATE:
Signature Wings (12 Wings) w/French Fries - $15.98
So, moving onto the food. I’m not a huge fan of BBQ sauce, but the wings had a great flavor. I would have preferred some type of hot sauce, but the wings were still enjoyable. Now onto the fries. What is the deal with every restaurant rationing fries like it’s North Korea? The fries had great crunchy texture and flavor, but it looked like the handful of fries was placed by an infant. I would have liked more because they were so good!
The Hipster
Today felt like a great day for BBQ, making Ted’s BBQ our destination. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and cleanliness of Ted’s BBQ. The staff were very efficient in getting the meal out to our large group of people, which was impressive as well as fast.

Bar B Q Pork Sandwich Combo w/French Fries - $8.29
I really enjoyed my sandwich and side of fries. My only beef with my pork BBQ sandwich would be that it was hard for the flavor of the BBQ sauce I put on to come through. The fries were excellent, and might tie as my favorite fry, alongside waffle fries. The saltiness was just right, and the outside texture was not smooth like other fries, which made it even more delicious somehow. Ted’s BBQ is a classic BBQ restaurant with good food and excellent service!

Ted’s was a great atmosphere for eating some good barbecue. Their menu isn’t exactly extensive, but what they do serve, they serve really well! The prices were also pretty good for the amount of food we received. The tables were organized well, and were open seating, so we were seated quickly. The food was prepared in a very short amount of time. The presentation of the food was good, it was clean-looking and a tidy restaurant overall. The building had a cool look to it and I could imagine a family barbecue happening right there. The TV’s being on added a little noise which allowed for conversation and laughter to happen without getting the feeling that we were disturbing other customers. I would suggest this restaurant for any number of people to visit. Ted’s caters as well. (I actually had them cater for my wedding, which was where I discovered their excellent service and food.) I think this is a great place to go with friends!

Bar B Q Pork Sandwich Combo w/French Fries and Mac n' Cheese - $9.49
I ordered the big double sandwich that has pulled pork and sausage on it. I ordered it with two sides: french fries and mac and cheese. The fries where perfectly crispy and had a great flavor that wasn’t too strong. The mac and cheese had a great flavor and texture. When it came to the sandwich, I was pleasantly surprised, as I have never had sausage and pork on a sandwich before. The flavor was excellent and the mix of the two meats with their famous white sauce was also superb. I finished the meal and felt completely filled to the brim after eating, even though it didn’t look like that much food. This is definitely the kind of restaurant where I would have a “usual” meal that I get every time and know exactly what I’m getting that will have me feeling great when I leave. I am excited to go back to Ted’s in the future for some good barbecue!
The Boss
I’ve been a fan of Ted’s since I first tried them shortly after they opened. I love good barbecue and I’ve never had anything I didn’t love from Ted’s! Today, after visiting the Five Points location, I have now visited all three Ted’s locations in Huntsville and Madison. The consistency across the restaurants is outstanding. The food tastes just as great at any branch you choose!

Today I ordered a pork barbecue sandwich with sides of mac n’ cheese and french fries. The french fries are SO crispy on the outside, but perfectly cooked so they’re smooth in the middle. The pork was tender and flavorful and not too dry. I definitely recommend putting on their sauce, though, because it’s so good!
The Detective
I love Ted’s! Probably my favorite BBQ place in Huntsville. They even catered my wedding (Would suggest them for special events! So helpful in getting everything you need and reasonably priced)! I had only been to their Madison location before today, and it is super nice, clean, and decorated well. Their Huntsville location is just as fun to attend! The only thing I wasn’t super happy with was the parking. Very tight driving and parking spaces, which probably can’t be helped, it’s just a little inconvenient.
WHAT SHE ATE:
Bar B Q Pork Plate w/French Fries and Mac n' Cheese - $9.99
Plates served with Jalapeno Cornbread
I ordered the BBQ Pork Plate with a side of fries, mac n cheese, and it came with a corn bread muffin. I LOVE their mac n cheese!! It’s so cheesy with a slight smoky flavor. So far, my favorite in Huntsville! The fries were delicious as well! Crispy and salty. I’m not the biggest fan of corn bread to I gave my muffin to the Boss and she said it was awesome because of how moist it was! The pork was tender and flavorful. I love this place!
Give them a visit!
