Our favorite spots this month
Amelia’s pick: Teriyaki Chicken at Dashu Japanese Cuisine & Bar
If you’re anything like me, you have a constant need for a crab rangoon within arm’s reach.
Enter Dashu, the quaint Airport Road spot for delicious and satisfying Japanese food:
“Ordering the Teriyaki Chicken at Dashu is not just a meal. It is an experience.
Looking at this picture, you can almost feel the sizzling of the chicken; you can smell the tangy sweetness of their yum yum sauce; you can hear the laughs and giggles of other patrons in the restaurant. Wow. What a rush. I’m getting tingles thinking about it.
Don’t forget mochi for dessert!”

Elizabeth + Brenna’s pick: Veggie Nachos from El Cohete at The Orion
The Orion may be an amazing place to catch a show, but did you know that their menu is also out-of-this-world?
El Cohete is one of two restaurants housed in the amphitheater, and it has Southwestern flair to boot:
“We went to The Orion’s first show of the season and tried the new nachos from El Cohete. It was refreshing, flavorful and light, making it the perfect shareable pre-show snack. We got the vegetarian-friendly option and it was yummy. Plus, it was beautiful!
Fun fact: El Cohete translates to “The Rocket” and is one of the many themed bars at The Orion. All have carefully curated menus using ingredients grown in their community garden.”

Leslie’s pick: Southern Chicken BLT + Caesar salad at Tupelo Honey
Tupelo Honey is already highly regarded by Huntsvillians as one of the best spots to grab a quick bite.
Located in Midcity, the restaurant offers Southern-inspired dishes with unique twists:
“This was seriously one of the best chicken BLTs I have ever had. And a Caesar side salad is the best thing on the planet!”

Birmingham-based Big Spoon Creamery has quickly become a Huntsville favorite since its opening in June 2023.
Customers can’t get enough of their unique flavors, such as this Key Lime Yuzu ice cream:
