Best Restaurants in Downtown Huntsville

1. Rhythm on Monroe

Sandwiches, Steaks

Rhythm on Monroe is one of Huntsville’s hottest rooftop bars and restaurants. In the dining room downstairs, you can get music-inspired dishes from burgers and sandwiches to filets and pork chops.

Up at the rooftop bar, space is first-come-first-served, and you can order from a small shareable menu and delicious cocktail and beer menu.

I recommend getting the Classic Rock Burger or the Yardbird Jive Club Sandwich. Then grab a Back in Blackberry Mojito and head upstairs to enjoy the view of Downtown Huntsville!

European, Upscale

The Bottle is a fine dining restaurant that specializes in Southern cuisine with a French influence. Their menu features rotating seasonal creations, so you’re always in for something new and exciting.

On the menu, you’ll find a variety of dishes like raw oysters, jumbo crab cakes, veal chops, lamb racks, and steaks.

I recommend the Springer Mountain Chicken Pasta with roasted heirloom tomatoes, wild mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and bacon.

3. Sam & Greg’s Pizzeria Gelateria

Pizza, Gelato

Sam & Greg’s Pizzeria Gelateria has been a Huntsville staple for years. Located on the Square, Sam & Greg’s offers handmade, made-to-order pizzas, like the Deluxe with mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, and bacon or the Key West with mozzarella, chicken, ham, artichokes, black olives, and mango.

They also have handmade gelato in a variety of flavors from classic vanilla and chocolate to unique flavors like Lavender or Spicy Hot Chocolate.

I recommend getting the Pesto Margherita Pizza or a classic Meat Lovers.

4. Honest Coffee Roasters

Coffee, Breakfast

Honest Coffee Roasters is a local hotspot serving food, acai bowls, and of course plenty of delicious coffee. The is the place to go in Downtown Huntsville for ethically sourced coffee that is meticulously roasted and expertly brewed.

For an honestly tasty breakfast, try the Bom Bom Bowl with acai, cacao powder, granola, bananas, strawberries, almonds, cacao nibs, and local honey. For lunch, try the Chicken Basil Pesto Panini with chicken, basil pesto, Havarti cheese, spinach, and tomato pressed on naan bread.

I recommend trying the Hot Chocolate on a cold winters day.

5. MELT

Sandwiches, Comfort Food

MELT is a delicious concept that originally began in 2011 as a grilled cheese food truck. The food truck is retired now, but MELT has three brick-and-mortar locations in Alabama serving classic comfort food with a twist.

You can still get a Classic Grilled Cheese, but I highly recommend branching out and trying any of their other amazing sandwiches.

I recommend trying the Ole Smokey or the Chicken Pesto sandwiches.

201 Jefferson St N Suite I, Huntsville, AL 35801

6. The Revivalist

European and American Fusion

The Revivalist is the restaurant at the 106 Jefferson hotel. The theme is an homage to a historic Huntsville tavern that once occupied this location.

The restaurant exudes Southern Charm and old-time hospitality. Their dishes are inspired by European classics and American regionalism.

Start your day off with Avocado Toast for breakfast, the Revivalist Burger for lunch, and the Shrimp & Grits for dinner.

7. Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint

Burgers, American

Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint is a small downtown restaurant that packs a whole lot of flavor into their burgers. Their décor is funky, with walls covered in beer labels and stickers. Outside, they have a nice little patio area on the Square.

Their menu offers an array of burgers made with 100% American Wagyu beef. Their simple and basic burgers are all created with a twist on an American classic.

I recommend trying the Dr. Gonzo topped with mushrooms and bacon or the Greg Brady topped with mac n’ cheese and BBQ potato chips.

123 North Side Square Ste 100, Huntsville, AL 35801

8. Oshi Poke Bowl and Sushi

Japanese, Sushi, Poke

Oshi Poke Bowl and Sushi has a swanky corner location in Downtown Huntsville. You can grab a sushi roll at the sushi bar while you dine under a digital fish bowl projected on the ceiling; or you can create your own sushi bowl, grab a boba tea, or have a warm bowl of ramen.

This is only one of a couple places where you can get a poke bowl in the city. They have a number of signature bowls, or you can build your own. They also have Sushiritos, a burrito version of your favorite sushi rolls.

I recommend building your own bowl, but if you want to try a signature, then go for the Ohhh Oh Oh bowl.

9. The Martin Bar & Bistro

Southern, American

The Martin Bar & Bistro overlooks Washington Street, housed on the second floor of the old Martin Theatre, a movie theater that when it opened had the largest indoor screen in Alabama. The Martin is located in the theater’s old projection room.

It’s a small space with limited seating and a large island bar. Their menu features a lot of vodka-centric cocktails, beer on tap, and classic American and Southern food. When the weather is nice, they’ll roll up the large garage doors on the front wall for the perfect view of the bustling downtown street below.

I recommend getting the Southern Fried Chicken with roasted green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy.

116 Washington St SE, Huntsville, AL 35801

10. The Standard Social Market

Sandwiches, Sharables

The Standard Social Market is an interesting concept for Huntsville. It’s Like a New York City bodega where you can get your morning coffee, fresh bread, a fresh cut of sirloin, convenience store necessities like paper towels, a bottle of wine to-go, a cocktail with friends, or a bite to eat.

This all-in-one spot has limited seating. There’s a bar, lounge seating, and a few tables. Their food menu is small, too, with a few starters and sharables like pretzel bites or loaded fries, and main dishes like a burger, steak, and a flatbread. They have nightly specials, as well.

I recommend getting the Standard Cheeseburger and their Pretzel Bites.

The Moe’s Original BBQ in Downtown Huntsville serves its award-winning smoked barbecue with Alabama white sauce on two rooftop terraces with rollup doors and full bars.
