Big Spring Cafe in Huntsville

Best greasy burger joint in town

The staff are great! The food is fantastic. Make sure to order a bowl of chilli extra. This way you can dip your burgers.

Awesome food & service! Greetings from Poland

The Best Greasy Burgers.

Good food ..and great staff..food is a lil pricey but worth it.. Parking: Lunchtime is always a big crowd Food : 4/5 |

Biscuits were fairly dry.

Classic American Cafe. Food was very good and service was fast. Met all my expectations for good southern Buscuit and Gravy. Bacon was tasty and crisp. I will be back for sure.

Great prices and good every time

Great food, been eating, a long time.

The series was good for quick fast food

Fast, friendly service of the always yummy diner food with great prices. A perfect hidden gem in our now big city!

The employees are very friendly. Also I had a ham sandwich and the ham was smoky and thick. Definitely recommended.

The best cheeseburgers in the south. Parking: Parking doesnt matter, you will walk a mile for the best and oldest restaurant in Huntsville Alabama Food : 5/5 |

I love this place!!! Its the best small greasy burger ever!!!!! They will make you feel special and treat you like family. Parking: There are parking spots all around, but its very popular for breakfast and lunch. Find a spot to park its worth it, even the church behind it can be used for parking as well.

Parking: Parking can be difficult to find during peak lunchtime hours. Food

THERES NO TASTE IN THE HAMBURGER MEAT ANYMORE...... NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE,,,,, CLEAN BUT NO TASTE FOR 35.00 FOR THREE BURGERS AND THREE FRIES???? WOW!!!!!!

Been going to this place since I was 12 years old. Best cafe in the state. Best burgers. The staff is like family and I love the new building . Parking: Extra parking is in the back of the building Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Best burger in Huntsville

Great diner!!

Great place, limited hours.

Best burger in town!

I had chili dogs and onion rings. They were very good. Eating at the counter is the way to go. Everything is so orchestrated.

I grew up eating Big Springs hamburgers. This was my first time going to the new location. I dont know who is making these burgers or what happened, but it was terrible!!! I threw the burgers in the trash!!!

The food was very over priced and the food wasnt very good

Great pancakes

It was our. first time Allen was incredible, very nice hard worker. We will definitely be back and we live in Cullman. I would drive all the way there just for lunch. Great place. Food

Good food meat service

Will definitely dine here again

The food was fantastic and our sever was a very sweet young lady.

HSV classic

This is my favorite restaurant in Huntsville. The food is great, the prices unbeatable, and the service is amazing. What I found unique about Big Spring Cafe is the staff members seem legitimately happy to work there - that care shows in how they treat their customers and prepare their food.

Big Spring Cafe was a FANTABULOUS dining experience! We were immediately greeted upon entering the restaurant, and we were able to seat ourselves with zero wait time. About a minute after sitting, our waiter (Allen) greeted us with a smile & some of the FRESHEST coffee ever. We informed him that it was our 1st visit, and he did not miss a beat going over the menu...He even described several dishes and gave us some of his favorite dishes. We received our breakfast in a short time, and EVERYTHING was delicious!!!! Our coffee cups stayed full, and we were continuously checked on throughout our meal. We will most definitely be back in the near future!

Best breakfast in Huntsville by far. This place is and has been one of the best local restaurants for more than a hundred years!!!

Chili cheese burger is great

Love it Love it. Always the best!!!!

Nice neighborhood Diner with good food. Try their beef stew.

Food was great and waitress was excellent Parking: About 25 to 30 spots Wheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible

Always great! One of the really good burgers in town! The BEST onion rings around. If you havent been, go!! Second review. Still always great! I had the slawburger, chili dog and onion rings! I enjoyed EVERY bite!

Good breakfast and reasonably priced

Always a great place for lunch food. Extra greasy hamburgers add cheese is the best. But, make sure your life insurance is paid up if you eat more than four of them a year. : )

I had the SOS. It was so good!! They were very friendly and everything was great!

Some of the best breakfast food I ve ever had. I get it delivered and even then the quality is just as good as if I ordered there.

Amazing comfort food to start your day. You get exactly what you ordered with some love in every bite. The grits were absolutely perfect, much like the customer service.

I love this little hamburger place!

Its all around a great place for food, especially breakfast and those famous slaw dogs and hamburgers

Everyone working hard to please

Wonderful experience. Felt like home

Very cool and fast

I could sit there all day eating those burgers...

I have been going here ever since I was a child. Pam, Gavin, Alan, Skip, Tami, Amanda, and the entire crew are absolutely wonderful! The food is always delicious and it feels like home each time I visit. I highly recommend this local staple of Huntsville to anyone!

Always good most time we have hotdogs and stew for breakfast some a slaw dog ...tell them Mary sent u !!!

Awesome food

People are friendly food is great

Best hamburger experience in Huntsville!

One of the best places to go in Huntsville. Best slaw dogs around.

Great burgers!!

I absolutely love this place. Imho, it had more charm as a hole-in-the-wall restaurant across the street and just east of where it is now but the sliders are still the best in town no matter where they cook them, so long as they keep cooking on that same grill.

I love this little cafe. The food is excellent. The personnel are friendly, prompt & attentive. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This place was faster than any fast food place Ive been to, and awesome service. If youre in a hurry and want to be treated well, this is the place!

Very good place, the atmosphere is relaxing

Always good food and friendly service

First time eating here and OMG it was delicious will absolutely be going back to eat again. Cheap prices definitely recommend going yourself and trying them out.

Really great place to get comfort food has awesome cheeseburgers and chili cheese dogs,breakfast,whatever you want.

Been going to Big Spring since the 80s and hands down always receive the best service and consistency of the amazing food and its a local legend where people have went for years as a tradition that is passed down to there kids that will always be a part of my family

I had never been here before so I went on ahead and got 2 chili dogs and boy was I impressed. Not only was the food cooked to perfection, the price was reasonable.

Good, fast and friendly service every time Ive been. Food is always delicious.

Wish they had bigger burgers

Always good food

Food ok crowded

The double cheeseburger is my favorite, and they have delicious onion rings!

As I walked into this Cafe, I couldnt help but notice the cozy old style 60s vibe. It was super cool and instantly took me back in time. The interior design was simple yet charming, and it felt like I was stepping into my grandmas house. I ordered the burger and was blown away by how amazing it tasted. The flavors were on point, and I could tell that the ingredients were fresh. The bun was small, but it was made with so much love and care that it added to the overall experience. It was like having a burger made by your Nana. I appreciated the fact that this place didnt try to be a fancy 5-star restaurant. Instead, it focused on what it did best - making delicious burgers that transported you to a different era. The price was right, and I felt like I got my moneys worth. I had a great meal that was fresh and not frozen for a year, unlike some other fast food chains. It was evident that the staff put their heart and soul into every dish, and it showed in the final product. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nostalgic dining experience with delicious food. It may not be the fanciest spot in town, but it definitely delivers on taste and ambiance.

Had not been there for a long time. Decided to stop by and get a hot dog, hamburger and fries,and man was it good. Wished they would not close up so early.

I havent ate here in awhile so I decided to try it again. Onion rings was decent,burger was ok,but cold.

Awesome food and great service.

I loved their classic but unique ketchup slaw dog and their chilly cheese fries.

Great little cheeseburgers for the money & great chili dogs only draw back is they are closed on the weekends.

This place has always been and always will be home of the greasy Cheeseburger. The cheeseburgers the best in town and theyre chili dogs are the best in town and their bowl of chili is the best in town theres nothing that they dont make that is just absolutely delicious.

Just go you wont regret it!! Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair friendly Food : 5/5 |

Good basic diner food with friendly service.

It is not a fancy place. But, it has the best hamburgers and French fries. Good prices too.

How about the best greasy food in all of Huntsville! And really affordable too!!

This has been one of my favorites for more than 50 years. Food is ALWAYS good. Parking: During busy times may have to park behind the bldg. Usually parking is available Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible because it is on flat ground.

AWESOME

Fantastic!

Nice inexpensive diner. Food was fast and service top notch Food : 3/5

The regulars think they run the place, food is bland. They use the oldest restaurant in Huntsville as a crutch for their mediocre food.

Feels like its never open i work throughout the day and when i get off i sometimes crave big spring cafe and they are never open and closed on the weekend they close at 3 on weekdays the hours are very inconvenient for people that work.

Love this place always good food and good friendly service!

Love!!!

First timer and really enjoyed my experience there! Food was old school and came out fast! Service was stellar and I wish that I could remember his name for the kudos

My first time trying it today my mom brought some home for lunch it was delicious I had cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato and fries were delicious as well I will definitely be back in there

Good service, good food

Best diner in town! Great food and friendly staff.

Great country breakfasts!

The waiter actually asked me if I wanted an item that I had forgotten to tell him about when I ordered! He remembered me and exactly what I ordered from a few weeks before! I wish I had gotten his name..... Hes awesome!

Really sweet people. Good simple food.

A HSV classic. Fast, unabashedly greasy, and really tasty. Go here for your crave.

Im visiting from out of state. Every time Im in Huntsville, Big Spring Cafe is a must stop. Food is great. Staff is awesome. Hours are too short. Food

Great burgers and chili dogs! This a cant miss for lunch in Huntsville.Great,great friendly service.Diner atmosphere and original old school mom and pop type diner!!Food was great!

Parking: Its so busy there its not a bad thing. Just shows how great the food is. And the friendly atmosphere . Food

Always consistent in food. Just like when I was a kid!!

This was my first time eating there, but my friend I was with is a long-standing customer of theirs so thats where we did lunch. DELICIOUS is all I can say and the service was above par and outstanding!!!!!

Always great burgers and dogs. Was a Friday night staple when I was involved with racing at Huntsville. Just wish they still had Double Cola

Great place for lunch! Friendly, fast, and good! Had the double cheese burger and onion rings. Just like grandma used to make them! Give it a try!

Way too long to get food , with tables open , food price $17. Plus tip . Parking: Not enough for the size of restaurant Food : 5/5 |

Love this place. Parking: Well when you have great food you have to know a parking spot is hard to find. And I can tell you the food is wonderful. Food : 5/5 |

Great little super-sized mini burgers, if that makes sense. Ordering two or three next time. Great apple turnover too! Skip was fantastic!!!

This is the cleanest restaurant Ive been to in years. The staff was friendly and on point, especially with the regular customers. The food was very good and the serving size was generous. I go back as my schedule allows.

Actually the first time I went today the service in the food was great.the only downside is replacing packed at lunch time other than that great place to eat..

Mediocre at best

Great service. Friendly staff. Go Buckeyes!!!

Great customer service.great place ,I just was not pleased with the taste of the food.inhad pancakes,an omelet,and hash browns,I was disappointed both time I ate there taste wise.

Service and food were excellent!

I only wish I would have taken a picture of my affordable, quickly served and cheaply priced biscuits and gravy: but they were so good I completely forgot. Skip the Blue Plate and come down a block or so: youll be glad you did.

Best place to go to for a greasy burger.

Best place for a greasy burger, couldn t agree more, thanks for lunch mr. Greg!

Affortable. Good burgers. Small but good.

The food was good. My only complaint is that the hamburger pattie is closer to the size of a small sausage pattie. It only covers the center of the bun.

I had heard of this place for years and finally tried it. The burger was tasty, but just a bit small for the price. Whatever you do, dont try the chili cheese fries; they are terrible. The chili had no flavor (more like just cooked ground beef), and the fries were cold. If you order a side, make it the onion rings because they cook them to order and they were pretty good. Cant say I would go back.

Awesome service n food Everytime we go to Huntsville Thats our go to spot !! Food : 5/5

Though the lunch is great too, it is tough for me to get there at that time of day, so by default this is my favorite place for breakfast. Big Spring Cafe is spacious and comfortable, and always exceptionally clean. The service is great. The people are always courteous and friendly. You can tell by their smiles and pleasant attitudes that they actually enjoy their jobs. Most of them have been there for a while too. It is very reassuring to see the same friendly faces every time you visit. The food is down home good, and the menu is on the country side of things. It has all the classic stuff you are used to seeing, but there are also several delicious selections from back in the day that you probably just cant find anywhere else. Big Spring Cafe is a throwback to a time when our town was a much smaller place, and everybody knew everybody else. This is the restaurants 3rd location that I can remember, yet they have always managed to keep the hometown vibe that makes it a fun, unique and special place. Though the latest location on Governors Dive is completely modern in every sense of the word, it is definitely a historic, Huntsville original dining experience. Check it out.

This WAS a plain beef slider with cheese and a side of onion rings. SOOOOO GOOD. It was my first time here and I m a picky burger!! Wow! Really?!?! How have I missed this place!! Will return!!! Parking: Parking is also in the back but it is often full during lunch. Once, I waited for someone to leave, gave a mean, side eye to the person that tried to take the spot I had been waiting for for 5 minutes, and then I cruised in the place with a southern smile like no feelings were involved or hurt (no eye contact helped) The thing is, with great food comes packed parking. You got to pick your poison!

Be aware of the additional costs for take out. It s 10%. I asked what the charge was for and was told it was for the paper bag and napkin. I ordered a double hamburger. But it was the size of a slider. Not much flavor or seasoning. I had high hopes for this place, but was disappointed.

home of the greasy burger... soo good

Exactly what a 100 year old dinner should be. Friendly people, good greesy, and enough random furniture to be a dinner

I love this place great food and nice people

If youve ever been there then you already know. . If you havent then Im sorry for your life

Best little burgers for 100 miles! Love their onion rings!

Love the little burgers and the slaw dogs

Since the age of 4 ive been eating here never once let me down! Kid-friendliness: Been taking my daughter since she was born everyone loves to see her and she love to see them Food : 5/5 |

Laid back. Quick service. Take a break from work lunch food.

Clean, but food waffle House or less quality

Outstanding burgers!

Great for breakfast, however the hamburger was kind small come lunch time

The food was OK but it was definitely very cheap ingredients at a premium I jave had better food at hospitals for cheaper.

I could ask for anything else. Precious memories take me back to childhood memories. Thank you for still serving and making more memories. I love, love it Vegetarian options: They have it all! Delicious and heart warming

Great food, wonderful service, in a setting that reminds you of diners in the 50s and 60s

I wanted to stop by. They closes early. Burger meat is too small.

I have never been to Huntsville until today. I stopped at this restaurant because I wanted some breakfast and wound up paying $40 for two breakfast plates simple breakfast its bacon eggs and cheese $40 and a they charged 10% for to go containers. I think thats price gouging Wont ever eat there again

The food is delicious the service makes you feel at home and the over all atmosphere makes you feel like your at grandma and grandpas place eating breakfast!!! Loved it !!!

The Breakfast was Great.
