HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The 9th annual Huntsville Restaurant Week began August 13 and ends on August 22, over 60 eateries will be participating with special items and offers!
Dignitaries, including mayors from across Madison county, talked to reporters about this special week for restaurants here in the Huntsville/Madison community.
One of those community leaders, Mayor Paul Finley of the City of Madison, mentioned a personal tie he has with a former restaurant owner - his mom!
"To all of our restaurant owners first and foremost, thank you for your investment. You know, I was talking to my mom, she was in town last weekend, and basically what she was telling me as a former restaurant owner, is just how tough it is to do all of it. You know, think you're just going to be able to open in her case, and my dad's case - it was an ice cream parlor: and then just serve people. But there's so much more to it than that and especially during these tough times over the last couple of years, it really has been tough."
Not only is this week a way for residents to discover all the locally-owned restaurants and food trucks... It's also a way to thank those business owners for hanging in there during the pandemic.

From the Huntsville Restaurant Week Press Release:
As part of the precautions for COVID-19, the CVB is encouraging alternative ways for both residents and visitors alike to support Huntsville Restaurant Week, primarily by partnering with local delivery services Rocket City Delivered and GrubSouth, which are both waiving the standard delivery fee for participating restaurants using the code HRW2021. Patrons will be able to choose from the variety of participating Restaurant Week establishments that currently offer delivery through either or both of the two services.
Despite the pandemic, diners can expect to see several first-time participants on the list for 2021. BeeZr Gastropub, Bubby’s Diner, Oscar Moon’s, Grille on Main, and Frankie’s Crab Shack are just a few of the newcomers to Restaurant Week.
As a bonus feature of Restaurant Week, the Huntsville/Madison County CVB will be hosting ten days of giveaways through social media. Simply tweet or post to Facebook or Instagram using the official Restaurant Week hashtag #DineHsv with your best “foodie” photos, what dish you most want to try, etc. A winner will be chosen each day throughout the ten days of Restaurant Week to win restaurant gift cards and CVB prizes.
The CVB’s own #iHeartHsv blog will be featuring dedicated food and beverage content throughout the month of August.
