"I took my boyfriend here this past Saturday for his birthday. Below The Radar was recommended by a member of my staff @ work. She said the food was amazing. And, it was! This place offers an extensive beer selection as well. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. Our waitress remembered that it was my boyfriend's bday because I wrote it in my reservation comments. How sweet! Definitely coming back!"

"For a date night, my partner and I decided we would check out Below the Radar. The food was quite good, server was knolegible attentive without over doing it, the price was reasonable, and their wine and beer list was quite extensive and varied. Our only complaint was the noise level. We were seated in what I assume was a secondary dining room down a hallway from the main dining area and bar, and because of this I was hoping for a nice quiet atmosphere where we could converse and enjoy our meal together. That was not the case, while the room was not overly crowded, the noise level was such that we had to lean across the table and almost yell to talk to each other. We ended up just trying to hurry and eat our food and leave."

"The food was very good but could use a little more variety. There was an extensive beer list with many choices. Excellent place for beer aficionados. Service was good. Food was a little slow coming out."

"Took my husband here for his birthday. We were headed to the VBC for a show after. This was great because it is close to VBC, great service, speedy but EXCELLENT food! The toffee pie was Ahhhhh-mazing! Good beer, good food, fun with friends! The only thing better would be more comfy chairs and seating for a long dinner. The high chairs are not comfy for short people when your legs can't reach the bars! That would have made it perfect! But it was still worth it!"

"Overall Food was good but higher priced than it should have been for the quality of the food. It was just a couple notches above "pub grub" which was fine but was overpriced. The beer selection on tap and the product knowledge was excellent. Go for the beer not the food!"

"Very good food (Grilled cheese and tomato soup was yummy!) with great service. Live music was excellent... though it made the dinner very loud. That's not bad, just don't expect a quiet meal on live music nights. Will definitely go back."

"My wife and I have been to BTR many times for lunch and really enjoyed it. I took some family there for dinner and the food was REALLY salty. They changed their wine list (not for the better). Beer was still good which is the main reason I go there."

"Excellent food and beer and wine selection. Both the duck and pork chop were a flavorful delight at our table. Entering the restaurant we felt like we entered the wrong restaurant. Didn't care for walking through a casual bar to get to the dining area. Even though the servers performed a great service and were very knowledgeable on the food and beverages, the t-shirt and jeans made me feel that I was more at a fast food joint than a fine dining experience. Also, thought the tables could have used a table cloth of some sort."

"This place is great. Wish we could go more often. Creative, eclectic menu - bar food with a gourmet twist. Great, ever changing beer list. Now they also have their own brew. Truly one of the best places for a casual meal, group gathering, or just to sit at the bar."

"This was our fifth time eating at Below the Radar and have always enjoyed the food and beer selections. I have tried several items on the menu and everything is quite tasty and it really would be hard to find any better food in Huntsville. I love the venison ,even though Saturday it was served a little cool and would have been better if it was hot upon arrival to the table.My other diners had the ribeye and fish & chips and they both were impressed and enjoyed with their choices. All in all, Below the Radar is one of my favorite places to eat in Huntsville and I highly recommend it for anybody looking a great place to eat."

"Pleasantly surprised as I don't typically like "bars". The food was quite good the beer list was GREAT. Walking distance to the Civic Center/Embassy Suites (just over a mile). Really a great place to meet friends/co workers. Would have given 5 stars for service but as it got busy, our waitress all but disappeared. We had a reservation for 530, got there a little before 5 and went straight to our table. They were very accommodating when we had an extra person show up and moved us right to a larger table. Yes, it's loud...it's a bar ;-)"

"Definitely some of the best food in Huntsville. Great menu, that is very foodie friendly. My wife and I enjoyed great appetizers, a wonderful venison dish and a fantastic shepherd pie for our respective entrees, and maple bacon blondies for dessert. I must also mention that our server that night was great."

"It was my first visit. I used Google Maps to find it and it was a block off as to location. The facility was nice, newly renovated and nicely laid out. At times the noise made it hard to talk with my friend but not impossible. The service and food and beverage selection was very good. I'll be back!"

"This was our first visit. Two of us ordered a new beer which we did not like. Our waitress came by and if we liked it when we said no she brought us another my steak was indeed cooked so I sent it back. They brought what I wanted then compared my meal. we will definitely go back. The customer comes first here and the food is great."

"If your going just for dinner it's way too loud in the main dining/bar area, request to be seated in the back dining room. If you meet friends afterwork for a few drink, great place. Great selection of Beer"

"The atmosphere of the place was great, my only gripe was the poor service. Our server only checked on us occasionally, and we would be waiting for what seemed like forever to order more drinks."

"Surprisingly delicious food with a varying selection. An ever-changing beer menu is both a pro and con. Good to try new things, but if you find one you really like it may be gone next time. Best to make reservations ahead of time, can be hit or miss on wait times without one. Great place alone, with a date, with a group, for a quick stop or an extended visit."

"The food was good but small and the drinks were small and weak. I can't say it was a bad place but for those prices, my friends and I could get better drinks elsewhere. It was a very pleasant place that I probably won't see again unless someone else is buying."

"The service was awful! I have been to below the radar several times and this experience was pretty bad. The food was ok at best and pricy for what it was. I've had great experiences at below the radar and I hope that it was just an off night for the restaurant."

"The beer selection was impeccable. The food however, was just ordinary bar food nothing special although the menu descriptions would lead one to think otherwise. All and all I am happy to give BTR a thumbs up and will return."

"My wife and family and I have been there many times and will continue to go back. The food is surprisingly unique and as good as a traditional, quiet and more expensive restaurant. The beer selections change and they continue to add new beers that exceed the prior selection. The prices are moderate but at times the noise can be quite loud. Not perfect but the pros exceed the cons and that's why we keep returning for an enjoyable meal and drinks."

"Fantastic beer list, wonderful food and very nice service. There's a bar food menu, and a finer dining menu. Depends on where you sit, I believe. It's a great addition to the downtown HSV scene, and we're happy BTR is here!"

"The atmosphere is like a pub/sports bar in the main dinning area. There are two other small rooms with a few tables and these rooms are quiter. The food was suprizingly good. There were four of us and we all ordered different entree's and they were all very good."
