The “Rocket City” is about to get a major boost in flavor as City Barbeque officially breaks ground on its very first Alabama location. Scheduled to open on February 9, 2026, the new restaurant will bring the brand’s signature slow-smoked meats and authentic backyard hospitality to the Huntsville community.
A New Landmark for BBQ Lovers
Conveniently located at 11544 Memorial Pkwy SW, near the intersection of Hobbs Road and U.S. 231, the Huntsville “joint” is designed as a space for family and friends to gather. Every meal is rooted in craft and care, featuring meats smoked on-site and a variety of house-made sides that have defined the brand for over two decades.
In addition to traditional dine-in and carryout services, the Huntsville location is prepared to serve the broader community through full-service catering. From office lunches and family celebrations to large-scale community events, the team is equipped to handle groups of all sizes.
Rooted in Community
For City Barbeque, this expansion is about more than just opening another restaurant; it is about joining a storied local tradition.
“Our team is excited to bring our first City Barbeque in the state of Alabama to Huntsville,” said Mike Muldoon, CEO and President of City Barbeque. “We’ve been smoking barbeque for over 25 years, and we are proud to now be part of the Alabama barbeque community. Since 1999, everything we do – from smoking meats on-site to preparing our house-made sides to becoming a trusted member of the community – is rooted in family, community, and togetherness.”
Multiple Ways to Enjoy the Pit
Whether you prefer to dine in the new space, grab carryout, order delivery, or schedule a catered event, City Barbeque offers several ways to experience their authentic menu. As the February 9 opening date approaches, Huntsville residents can look forward to a new destination built on the values of quality and community connection.
