Ted's has been serving Five Points South since 1973, running on a cafeteria-style service line where diners move through and get their plates directly from the staff. It's built a reputation as a neighborhood fixture with an owner-involved feel and a nostalgic, unhurried dining room that draws a mix of construction workers, doctors, students, and out-of-town visitors.
The menu leans into Southern comfort staples alongside brunch classics: Hot Chicken & Waffles, a Greek Burger, the Jerry Quesadilla, a Farmer's Market Omelette, and build-your-own breakfast bowls, plus omelettes, pancakes, waffles, and salads. Ted's sources from local partners including Domestique Coffee & Breadworks, and has held onto a loyal regular base built on consistency and familiarity over the decades.
