Huddle House, the nation’s iconic neighborhood restaurant and gathering place, is officially opening in Russellville. The new location, which is slated to open Oct. 14, is located at 15485 US Hwy. 43.

“Russellville was the perfect town to open our 41st restaurant in the state of Alabama. This community has a strong love for authentic, homestyle comfort food and places to easily gather and catch-up with their neighbors,” said Chris Watkins, Director of Operations. “As we open our doors, we are committed to creating a safe environment where guests can focus on sitting back, enjoying a hearty meal and relaxing with some good company.”

To ensure that customers can enjoy their homestyle meals safely, the Huddle House team has adapted the dining experience to create as safe and enjoyable an environment for customers and employees as possible, including enhanced sanitation, cleaning processes and promoting face coverings. In addition to dining in, customers in Russellville can enjoy Huddle House at home and on the go by ordering online through the Huddle House app, where curbside pickup is available. The Huddle House app is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
