Got to be one of the oldest restaurants in Huntsville. But it has the best fried fish shrimp and hush puppies. And on top of that they even have barbecue. Got to be one of the best places to eat in town.

While traveling we always like to try local places, and the Greenbrier Restaurant did not disappoint. First, they bring out complimentary hush puppies. Normally, I do not like hush puppies but these were delicious! I order chicken livers, slaw and a baked sweet potato,...Read More

If you want the best hush puppies around, good barbecue and catfish, then this is the place to go. Be hungry because they serve you an adequate amount of food even on the small plate orders!
