Amelia’s pick: Veggie Wrap at Good Company Cafe

It’s a well-known Huntsville fact that Good Company Cafe has amazing lattes and teas. But, did you know that their food is top-notch as well?

With a wide variety spanning from avocado toast to chicken salad, you can fill your craving here:

“The Veggie Wrap at Good Company is to die for. I’ve been thinking about it for weeks. I’m a meat-eater but this wrap is whispering to me to adopt a meatless lifestyle. She. Is. Everything. The house-made hummus. The cucumbers. Let’s not even start on the pickled onions. Regardless if you eat meat or not, this wrap is a slam dunk.”

“Went to G’s Country Kitchen for the first time and was astounded by how good their chicken was. My wife got the catfish which is some of the best I’ve had in a very long time. I’m about to become a regular.”

You can’t get any more Southern than good old-fashioned BBQ.

Moe’s Original BBQ is a staple in the BBQ community with delicious smoked meats, mouthwatering side dishes and satisfying desserts. Take a look at what Ryleigh had to say about her plate:

“This was honestly the best pulled chicken sandwich I have ever tasted, like ever. It has coleslaw on it which I didn’t realize until after the fact. I don’t even like coleslaw but it made the sandwich even better! The crunchiness with the savor was chef’s kiss!”
