Huntsville Restaurants

Bordered to the east by sprawling mountains, Huntsville is known for its association with the military, avionics, and an eclectic dining scene. But you don't have to visit during the city's annual Brewfest or Restaurant Week to appreciate the unique flavors found here. While fried catfish, country fried steak, meatloaf served with cornbread, cheesy browns, and other iconic southern comfort foods can be found throughout Rocket City, it's specialty dishes like glazed king salmon and braised oxtails served with fresh potatoes and carrots that help define Huntsville's food scene. In the mood for delicious German dishes, authentic Thai, island-inspired jerk chicken, or a good, old-fashioned burger with housemade sauce? Huntsville has all of that and more, including venues offering 400-plus beers, tapas, gourmet sandwiches, homemade soups, pizza, and sushi plates.
