OT I have to spend 4 days at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville Where are some good

You didn't ask about Mexican food, but I used to stay close to a Rosie's Cantina and always enjoyed it. There are a couple locations but I've only been to the one off Memorial.

Yea .. I realized he asked specifically about steaks and seafood.
Rosie's is good too but Tulum is about as good as I've eaten outside of Houston Tx. Locally owned.

Steaks ... I think anything in Bridge St and Town Madison is real expensive and no better than Longhorn. Connor's was good but about one and a half times more expensive. Longhorn is much better than J. Alexander's IMO. Can't remember the names but seems like I read on FB there are one or two locally owned steak places out toward maybe Hazel Green and/or Gurley that have sprung up not too long ago and are supposed to be really good. Hadn't been to them tho. I like my own steaks. I cook them about as well as anyone's and I eat steak a good bit. So I ain't usually looking for steaks when I go out.
Seafood ... I ain't found great seafood in Huntsville. There might be someplace I just don't know where it would be.

On the south side of town there is a nice, locally owned place called Nic?s Ristorante that has pretty good steaks. Depends on where you are staying, That is a longish drive from Research Park/Madison side.

Yea ... I was thinking I might've heard about one down there somewhere. Only time I go down there these days is when I shoot pool at Chips & Salsa.

The Madison side is one reason I mentioned the places I did. Convenient and really good food IMO.

ETA: West End Grill is a really good place to eat too. Never ate their steaks tho. It right there on Old Madison Pike across the bridge from Bridge Street going towards Huntsville.

As a side note. Back in '88 or so, I was at a cookout and played volleyball with a church group at the farm (good sized farm) that was where Bridge Street is today. The ran a good many head of cattle out there. Personally, I wish the farm was still there myself.

West End Grill is really good for lunch. I've never been there for dinner. It's in the NE quadrant of Research Park Blvd (Rideout Rd)/565 in a small strip center. The pizza place next door is good too (Venice Pizza). I like Rosie's on University Drive for TexMex. And in MidCity there are several places - Wahlberger's, Dave & Busters. Rhythm downtown next door to the Mars Music Hall in the VBC is supposed to be pretty good but I've never been there. In Providence, there's Mellow Mushroom (not great) and a Vietnamese place called Phuket that was really good last time I was there.
