Unfortunately, along with new businesses opening in the Huntsville area, we have to announce the closing of one of our local restaurants.

In their Facebook announcement, Toybox Bistro said they are closing after more than 7 years in business.

There’s still time to grab your Toybox Bistro favorites, though. Saturday, August 5, will be their last day in business, which means you still have a little over a week to visit.
