Ted's Restaurant (formerly Ted's Old Hickory Restaurant) is a meat-and-three which opened at 328 12th Street South near the UAB campus in 1973. Since 2000 the restaurant has been owned by Tasos and Beba Touloupis. The couple renovated the restaurant's interior and expanded the menu with a few of their Greek specialties like broiled fish and souvlaki. The head cook is Romell Adams, and the pastries are prepared daily by Judy Kilgore.
In 2006 Touloupis opened Ted's to Go for catering and take-out at 1801 4th Avenue South. In addition to providing lunches to the Birmingham Athletic Club and the UAB athletic department, Ted's supports the Ronald McDonald House with free lunches and fund-raisers.
In March 2009, after it was reported that Jefferson County was considering imposing a "clean water fee" on non-sewer customers as part of its strategy to address its massive debt crisis, Ted's issued a parody press release announcing a "non-diners fee" of $12 for every county resident that didn't eat at Ted's in the past month, effective April 1.
