Showing restaurants only
Portuguese House
9.7Portuguese House is a small Huntsville dining room built around Portuguese seafood, grilled meats, and family-cooking cues. Start with Portuguese Flaming Sausage or Sardine Bruschetta, then let Octopus Lagareiro, Seafood Risotto, or Fish Stew carry the meal.
Smokin' Hot BBQ Smokehouse & Grill
9.5Family-run Huntsville smokehouse serving Texas-style barbecue from the historic train station at 26 Station Road, with smoker meats, stacked sandwiches, burgers, platters, sides, catering, and summer live-music energy.
Fox in the Henhouse
9.4A downtown Huntsville fried-chicken counter serving made-from-scratch chicken, crispy tofu, fresh-cut fries and glazed doughnuts beside Canvas Brewing. The official menu leans into gluten-free breading, sandwiches, sliders, tenders, salads and poutine, with online ordering for pickup and casual riverfront carryout.
Main St. Local Kitchen
9.1Main St. Local Kitchen is a family-run downtown Huntsville comfort kitchen with made-from-scratch burgers, all-day breakfast, practical dinner plates, inclusive options, and a clear Ryan-and-Christina Clarke local story.
Tall Trees
9.0Tall Trees is a chef-owned Huntsville dining room where polished comfort cooking, historic farmhouse rooms, a thoughtful cocktail list, and a butter-tart finish make the meal feel planned without feeling stiff.
Gangnam Korea
8.9Gangnam Korea turns Sunju Lee's childhood memory of Korean fried chicken into a Huntsville menu led by crisp chicken, dupbap rice bowls, japchae and playful street-food detours. Chef Yangmo Kim gives the family story a working kitchen centre, while pickup ordering and shareable formats make the restaurant useful for both quick meals and group spreads.
Allora
8.9Allora is a downtown Huntsville Italian room built around wood-fired pizza, fresh pasta, Sunday brunch, and a date-night-ready dining room. Start with Pappardelle al Ragu or Funghi, then finish with Lemon Meringue Cheesecake.
That Little Place By The Lights
8.8Family-run downtown Huntsville Italian with handmade pasta, 12-inch pizza, gelato, walk-in service, takeout, patio weather permitting, and pickup-only take-home meals.
Music on Main Bar and Live Venue
8.8Music on Main combines a guitar-shop café, a small-plates bar, and a live room in downtown Huntsville. Tapas, libations, and a globe-spanning set of named favourites give the food its loose, playful shape, while weekend karaoke and a wider arts calendar turn dinner into the opening act rather than the whole evening.
The Family Place Restaurant and Pizza
8.8A long-running Huntsville family diner with a refreshed official menu, Greek-leaning pizza anchors, generous breakfast plates, homestyle dinners, and a current bakery-linked bread and dessert chapter.
Huntsville Brewhouse
8.7Downtown Huntsville's Lake of Bays brewhouse is best for craft beer, burgers, wings, trout tacos, plant-based pub options and casual group meals on Main Street.
Mottbora Sushi
8.7Mottbora Sushi is a casual, mid-range Japanese restaurant on King William Street in Huntsville, built around a broad roll lineup that runs from familiar choices to named house-style combinations. The current Tuesday-to-Saturday lunch-and-dinner schedule, dine-in service, and takeout option make it a practical stop for a complete sushi meal anchored by rolls, soup, and tempura.
Moose Delaney’s Sports Bar & Grill
8.6Moose Delaney's is a long-running Huntsville sports bar and grill built around wings, poutines, burgers, pub classics, beer, patio service, and game-day energy.
Seng's Authentic Thai Cuisine
8.5Seng's is a downtown Huntsville Thai room with a verified owner-chef story, northern Thailand influence, and an easy first-order path through Chicken Pad Thai, Green Curry, Tom Yum Soup, fresh rolls, and satay. It works best as a warm Main Street choice for dine-in or takeout, not a reservation-driven night out.
The Mill On Main
7.9The Mill On Main is a downtown Huntsville pub built around wood-fired pizzas, big comfort plates, and a patio identity tied to River Mill Park. The best order starts with The Lucidor, Butter Chicken Poutine, and The Mills Nachos; takeout and half-baked pizzas keep the menu useful beyond the room.
Compass Grill & Lounge
7.9Compass Grill & Lounge is Deerhurst Resort's evening dining room, where Executive Chef Gus Gulmar's menu moves from shared plates into composed seafood and a steak program built around cuts aged at least 45 days. A 52-foot Muskoka mural, cocktails, Deerhurst-only Deer Tail Ale, and a reservable full-service format give the room a clear sense of occasion without limiting dinner to one style of visit.
