2019 brought so many amazing new restaurants, coffee shops, and taprooms to Huntsville. Here’s a list of our favorite spots we added into our rotation this year.

The Moon Bakeshop
We were so excited to finally have a bakery in downtown Huntsville! The egg muffin is a must and only available Friday and Saturday so plan your trip accordingly. Also try the cookie sandwich, cruffins, blueberry lemon muffins, and peanut butter cookies.

Melt
Melt has stayed busy since they first opened their doors over the summer. Those who don’t like cheese need not apply 😉 Look for indulgent sandwiches like the mac melt (mac and cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich) and the 3 amigos (ham, sliced chorizo, over easy egg, and Monterey and habanero jack cheeses on sourdough bread).

Super Chix
Super Chix adds Huntsville as their first location outside of the Dallas area. Chicken + fries + frozen custard = a winning combination in Huntsville! It’s worth mentioning that they even offer a cheese-stuffed fried avocado sandwich as a vegetarian option.

Hops n Guac
Hops N Guac is “hoppin” until midnight during the week and 2am Friday and Saturday. Their burritos are enormous and served with a knife and fork. Get your wristband and head to the taps where you can pour as little or as much beer as you’d like.

Fractal Brewing Project
Located in the old Straight to Ale spot on Leeman Ferry Road, Fractal Brewing made the space their own with a great redesign that gives a fresh feel to go along with all their new beers.
We enjoyed the Fractal IPA on our first trip and were also lucky to have the limited release black IPA that was brewed just for Veteran’s Day.

Sam and Greg’s Pizza – Downtown Square
We are THRILLED that Sam & Greg’s new location on the Southside Square is finally open, and it’s better than ever! There’s more space, mini-golf, and everyone’s favorite pizza and housemade gelato.
Try the birthday cake gelato; it’s a favorite of ours.
