50 Best American Restaurants in Huntsville

“We love Purveyor. Great service and food.“

“Was in town for work and had a free night. Super tiny restaurant, and reservations are required. However, my colleague and I were able to sit at the bar and eat our meal. Very intimate setting. Served immediately and quickly. Ordered the fish special. It was outstanding. A lovely grouper with a vegetable ratatouille in a burre Blanc sauce. A little on the pricey side, but definitely worth it. If ever back in town, I would definitely eat here again.“

“The food was amazing and Rhiannon was very friendly! Definitely going back next time we’re in town!“

Our meals were very tasty with a splash of fancy to them! It was a very welcoming atmosphere and staff! We had a very good experience and will def go back when in Huntsville again! Be sure to try their fried pickles!“

“First time here. Great server name Lance! Definitely ask for him! Had a chicken sandwich “The Lua.” It was sooooo good and huge! I could barely eat 1/2 of it. Fries were hot and crispy. Coleslaw was a definite no!“

“We bought our Thanksgiving turkey from Boarhogs and it was the most moist, flavorful turkey we have ever bought from a restaurant. Boarhogs is awesome!“

“I am absolutely begging you not to discontinue the Pot Roast. It's literally the best I've ever had. And to be honest, I don't eat wings or most other items at your restaurant. But my family loves to eat there. If you discontinue the pot roast, I won't have any options to order, so unfortunately we will stop eating there. Our server said it's such a shame because it's one of your best sellers. Please, Please reconsider. If not, I would love the recipe so I can attempt it at home. Thank you.“

“We were seated at 5:30pm with no wait, atmosphere was relaxing and the restaurant was clean. Our server was pleasant and timely. We ordered the rosemary chicken and the chicken in dressing. Food was tasty and the prices were very reasonable. After 4 days of dinner disappointments at other restaurants. I would definitely recommend starting here. We were not disappointed.“

“This was the first time we tried this place and surprisingly it was good we were looking for a place to get some good catfish and some gumbo instead we ended up getting the chicken and a aduli sausage gumbo and alligator bites which were pretty good and the gumbo was really tasty. This place is a must try place if you like Cajun and creole spices you should like this place“

“Excellent food and service!“

“When we arrived the place was full of what looked to be college aged soccer players so we were expecting a wait. There was no wait well less than 10 mins from the time we ordered till we got our food! The entire staff was friendly and smiling and our food was fresh and hot! I definitely will be back!“

“Unbelievable fun place with great huge tacos I will be back!“

“The food and drinks here are amazing! The cook, Bounty, does a great job back there in the kitchen! The burgers are excellent and can we talk about those fries! Never had anything like them before. They are so crispy and delicious! I crave these fries often!“

“We had our rehearsal dinner at Haven tonight and Jenn totally rocked it for us. So glad we chose the Haven!“

“First visit to a buffet, since the pandemic. You have to eat with grace, asking God to bless the meal because there were lots of food and lots of peoples. The food was okay, I enjoyed it, but the veggies needed more soul food seasoning. They were a wee bit too bland. I probably would visit there again, perhaps. I am not too up on buffets during this Coved crisis. But I would recommend this restaurant and also recommend the cooks adding some seasoning spices or herbs or margarine to their veggies“

“This place is iconic. I love fruit and this place is the leading edge of the full spectrum of a well balanced fruit basket. Miss Josie rocks. Best club sammich - it’s a zoo. And safe—“

“Literally my home away from home for the last 12 years. Things change, but not The Turtle. Great staff, amazing food, affordable drinks, and a chill atmosphere. move aside, Olive Garden. when you're a Turtle, you're family.“

“Our waiter Gary was amazing. He took very great care of my family. Thank you“

“Best burger and chicken sandwich I’ve had in a long time!!! Friendly revive, fun atmosphere! We will definitely be back!!!!“

“Great Place to enjoy a meal and have a family outing“

“Can't ever go wrong with this place. I get dinner from here all the time and it's always great. It's hard to find a place with consistently great food. The best part is they deliver on Monte Sano mountain. The only other place that will deliver up there is Dominoes and I don't like dominoes. They get a lot of business from me and will continue to. Great service and product.“

“Huntsville really needed this. A breath of fresh air, but grounded in classic steak house excellence. The stand-bys are available, but any foodie will find something new to love. Marco is now our favorite bartender/ waiter in HSV.“

“My family and I went to the Huntsville Alabama’s location for lunch today. We had the best waitress we have had at any restaurant in a long time. Her name was Stefinie. She was beyond amazing. Not only was she friendly and funny she went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. We would like to say thank you to her and recommend that any and everyone go and ask to be seated with her because you won’t regret it.“

“Steak is decent, but the chicken parmesan with bacon is ridiculously good. Also, you should always sub the sweet potato instead of the baked potato. Only thing that is lacking is the Caesar salad dressing. It doesn't really taste like Caesar's.“

“We love this place and have been coming here for years. Heather always takes great care of us and the food is always awesome! ? Wonderful atmosphere!Parking: Some parking at the door, but mostly at the adjacent lots.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly before 9pm.“

“Always has good steaks and sides, the price could be a little cheaper though considering the portions you get. Service is typically pretty good and fast here, even on the weekends during when they're at their busiest. This place has undoubtedly become one of our favorites for big family meetups.“

“Everything is Always perfectly cooked. Still piping hot when it gets here, and is Always delicious and cooked just right! The chocolate cake is Tha BomB! And the price is decent for what all you get.And if they mess up accidentally, they'll make it up to you! It's just all around great place for del food!Go check them out or order for delivery!“

“UC Huntsville recently catered a work related event for me and I can wholeheartedly recommend them. The management and staff went above and beyond my expectations. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and I was very impressed by the professional, hardworking staff. A++!!“

“This tavern was a great location for a TVA community information meeting concerning the new power line to go across South Huntsville to Redstone Arsenal. The Rocket City Tavern is a beautiful place and very clean. Easy to find in Redstone Gateway.“

“First timer! Came in for brunch during happy hour on a Saturday. Mimosas started at $1 and went to $3. I ordered of the brunch menu. I chose the Southwest Burrito- no substitutions; it was amazing. The location not easy to spot, but easily accessible. There is a parking garage directly behind the building. Once you've been you'll be wondering how you haven't been already ?“

“Our work team had a group lunch at 1892 East Restaurant & Tavern this week. The restaurant worked with me to reserve a private room, make arrangements, and adapt to a date change. It all ran smoothly, everyone loved their food, and the service was great! Having the private room made it so much more enjoyable. I definitely recommend for individual meals or group events.“

“Waiter was on it. Very attentive. Never needed anything. But the Food. First time I've eaten somewhere and the food looked just like it did on the menu. Delicious too. This hasn't always been the case but whoever was cooking on April 27th 2024 around early afternoon CAN COOK! Best I've eaten in a long time.“

“Huge venue! Great beer! Awesome, friendly staff!“

“My 1st time, it was good. Wasn't expecting the slaw to be cold on the slaw dog. The bread was stale, but nothing 20 seconds in the microwave couldn't help. After heating it up, I stopped eating my loaded potato to eat it. The potato was very good, I had to save it for later, and it was even better! Will definitely be back!!“

“The food is amazing, the bartenders and chef know how to treat their customers. Sometimes the music is ok depending on the night. The atmosphere of karoke night on taco Tuesday is definitely lit.“

“Good drinks, free parking, hot chicken, hot fish, and old school“

“What a great experience. This is the place you go to when you get off work and need to unwind before you go home. This is the place you go to when you want to engage in nonchalant banter with random individuals. The drinks are strong yet not overwhelming. Whatever level you are trying to achieve while present in Ruggby's you will achieve. I will be back.“

“Hadn't been to Drakes before so decided to try it out around noon on a Saturday with my wife and two kids. Despite being pretty busy we were seated without a wait. Waitress was nice and took orders, drinks arrived pretty quickly. Ambiance was kind of a brighter sports bar but still family-friendly. Loud music and conversation but not obnoxiously so, lot of families present.On to the food. Let's be honest - the place is a little on the expensive side. Cup of chili for $6, salads start at $14 and go north of $18, all the burgers are $14+ with one side etc. That being said, I don't knock of stars for higher prices, you can check the menu before you show up and go elsewhere, but I do want to point it out.I ordered the Triple Double cheeseburger Sliders and was able to sub out the side for chili for $2, which I felt was a good deal. The burgers were well done but sliders are kinda to get anything else and they tasted good. To be fair, they didn't ask how I wanted them so that's just how they come. No complaints about the burgers besides the size. Chili seemed like it was made fresh and tasted really good. Scattering of beans, hamburger was diced very fine. Great flavor, not too hot or top greasy.Wife got the chopped Chicken Salad but opted to swap out chicken for salmon. She thought there was a bit too much dressing (order it on the side). She fel the salmon was cooked a little more then she asked for but was still good -- a good entree sized serving of salmon. Everything else in salad was great.Kids got mac-n-cheese and chicken strips. The chicken strips were grilled and they were probably the best kids chicken s trips I've tried. My daughter thought they were one of the better ones she'd tried as well. Mac-N-Cheese was good.$65 prior to gratuity for all that, two waters, 1 soda and a 23oz beer. Kinda high but they offered a military discount that was very generous. Came out to just over $51 after discount which I appreciated a lot.As long as you are OK paying for quality good, you won't be disappointed -- food here is great and service is good too.“
