When I found out I’d be in Huntsville for the first time after going vegan, my brain went to where it always goes — food. What will I eat? Is there vegan food easily accessible there? Will I starve because do they even know what vegan food is in Huntsville? I reached out to several of my friends who have either lived in or worked in Huntsville and found out there were several chain restaurants that have vegan options and then upon further research, I found some more Huntsville vegan options.
In fact, I found so many vegan options in Huntsville that I didn’t even have time to visit them all on that first visit. And, even after a couple of visits, I still have more to visit.

Huntsville Vegetarian Restaurants
For vegetarian-only spots, you can head to one of these two spots!
Chef Will’s at The Palate
TYPE OF CUISINE: CARIBBEAN, SOUL FOOD
COST: $
NEIGHBORHOOD: LOWE MILL
GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS: UNSURE
I feel like Chef Will’s is one of those gems that is so special and everyone takes it for granted.
You may not even know this place exists – located on the backside of the Lowe Mill parking lot – it’s not something you’re just going to stumble across unless you’re purposely googling Huntsville vegan options, a local tells you about it or you happen to be walking outside on the backside of Lowe Mill.
Lauren got the southern plate which looked absolutely amazing and I just had him make me whatever he wanted – it was some kind of portobello rice avocado something or another. All I can say is it was delicious.
When entering Lowe Mill parking lot, just keep driving along the left side of the building, make a right at the corner of the building and follow along until you see his food truck on the right-hand side.
Call beforehand – his hours on Facebook, Google and in-person all seem different.

Huntsville Vegan Friendly Options
Mason Dixon Bakery + Bistro
TYPE OF CUISINE: COMFORT FOODS, BAKED GOODS
COST: $
NEIGHBORHOOD:
GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS: EVERYTHING!
The first time we visited Mason Dixon was just for coffee and some cupcakes because we had already eaten lunch. We each got one to go and one to eat there.
They were so good!
We were pleasantly surprised that they had a full menu that had an entire vegan section on it so the next day, we headed back for lunch.
I got the mushroom melt which had greens, portobello mushrooms, tomato, Daiya cheese, beet pesto, and vegan bacon. I also had the Thai cauliflower soup which was oh so good too.
I’ve since been back for brunch and have had the biscuits and gravy and avocado toast. The biscuits and gravy were delicious, but the avocado toast wasn’t the best avo toast I’ve had.

Pints + Pixels
TYPE OF CUISINE: AMERICAN, COMFORT FOOD
COST: $
NEIGHBORHOOD: DOWNTOWN
GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS: YES
Lauren and I stumbled upon this place when we were exploring downtown the first afternoon. We both saw a sign for arcade games and I immediately messaged them on Facebook to see if they had vegan-friendly options.
They got back to me – really quickly, I might add – that they did, in fact, have vegan options.
Even though I love spicy food, I got a little gun shy at their warning and got the vegetarian chili which was really good. However, next time I’ll go for the spicy one!
Lauren got the veggie burger which was the size of her head. The fries (vegans always get fries haha) were some of the best fries I’ve ever had.
I really loved this place – will have a full review up soon!
