Huntsville, TX is a small town full of college students. Being a college student who loves food in such a small town has given me the opportunity to try most of the food joints Huntsville has to offer. While some don't deserve any recognition at all, other are worthy of the praise people give them. Here are the best places to eat in Huntsville, TX:
1. Humphrey's Bar and Grill
Also know as "Humps," this place is awesome to go to watch sports or just to relax with friends. Their outdoor seating is what gives the place it's awesome vibe, and they always have drink specials -- in case you're ballin' on a budget.
2. El Gordo Taqueria
While I couldn't find a picture of the outside of the restaurat, I still had to include this authentic Mexican food place. Their prices are cheap, and their food is to die for. When you're there, make sure you ask for some of their pineapple water! Don't like pineapples? They have watermelon, and melon water as well!
3. Mr. Hamburger
Calling all burger lovers: this is the best hamburger in town. This is a quaint, old-school hamburger joint that has been around since 1959. Y'all, there's reason why they have been around so long, and there is a reason why they are voted the best hamburger and fries in Huntsville, TX by Huntsville Item's Reader's Choice.
4. Yummy Yummy
There are a few other Yummy Yummy restaurants scattered over Texas, but this Mongolian Grill is a staple for SHSU student's diets. They even have a "Bearkat Roll," made special for us Sam Houston students!
5. New Zion Missionary Baptist Church BBQ
If you haven't been here, stop what you're doing right now and go. Some may call this establishment "a hole in the wall," but they immediately forget about it once they taste the how mouthwatering the food actually is.
6. Mama Juanita's
This is basically the birthday hot spot of Huntsville -- mainly because of their amazing margaritas and super friendly staff.
7. Farmhouse Sweets & Eats
Located on the square, this is probably one of Huntsville's cutest spots to eat. They serve fountain soda, delicious pies, and cafe foods that you can't find anywhere else in town. This is an amazing place to hold meetings, or even a Bible study with your friends!
8. City Hall Cafe & Pie Bar
If the phrase "Pie Bar" doesn't excite you then I don't know what will. Not only do they have amazing, cheap, decadent pies, they also put your drink in a mason jar. Seriously, what more could you want?
9. Lindo Mexican Taqueria
The best breakfast tacos in town -- enough said.
