I'm glad AAFES Express is here! It's located on the southeast corner of the Mills/Martin Road…read moreintersection. It's known as "the Exchange" or "Redstone Arsenal Exchange Services," or "Army and Air Force Exchange." It's open Monday through Friday 6 AM to 6 PM and closed on the weekends. It's sort of a one stop shop as it's a gas station, convenience store with a small liquor store (must have Military ID to purchase liquor, beer, wine, etc.), and smaller versions (versus the regular sized stores) of both Burger King and Subway. Unlike the Express with Class Six on Action Drive, the selection of liquors at the AAFES Express is much smaller and I've never seen the AAFES Express host an event like an on site wine retailer. I've eaten at both the Burger King and Subway, which can get really crowded, and purchased a few items at the convenience store. In the past I've purchased gas here, too. It's nice, in a pinch, to be able to pop over to the AAFES Express and get a sub sandwich or something from Burger King if you forgot your lunch and/or missed the cafeteria operating hours in your building.

The ice cream option have great options. In my opinion the service is perfect with the most polite people to see around...I'm all about customer service. The decor is a little weak for what it could have been but who cares about decor when you have a pizza that's that delicious LIKE ANY AND ALL MY REVIEWS My reviews are my total truth on any and all items I have purchased and used. I do not give false information or misleading information on anything. I can't be bought when it comes to my reviews so anyone who reads my reviews will know without a doubt that it is exactly how I feel about the product. Have a great day

The food is clearly made with so much love, by far the best pizzas I've had in the south! I also got a red chai with milk and it was as if I got it from overseas. Extremely high quality food and even better quality people. The staff is the most welcoming and hardworking group- cannot wait to be back!

It was my first time at UG; however, she goes regularly and swears by the "world's softest socks" they sell (I forget the brand.) It's two stories, and well curated, with very well-organized displays. Ulysses Grant White founded this store as the U.G. White Hardware and Implement Company in 1917 - Wow! That's been a minute! Displays boast a variety of candies and sweets; fresh coffee; a small selection of items from 1818 Farms (sister's favorite lip gloss, beautiful kitchen towels, botanical wax sachets); jams, salsas, relishes, and fruit butters; candles; Lodge cast iron cookware; Case knives; old fashioned children's toys; clothing (socks, SPF hats, shirts); mugs and more! We enjoyed the covered front patio area and spent a good while chatting there!

Bigots work here. I was excited to take my family members into this store, as I knew they'd…read moreappreciate the old charm. My adult son is immuno-compromised, and as such he wears a mask everywhere he goes. His partner also wears one so they don't get sick and give it to him. When we got into the store we split up. Unknown to me at the time time, the store staff was overheard talking about them saying things like ... you don't wear a mask because you're smart." They were also treated so poorly being stared at like they were subhumans. I wish I had known it at that time or I would have left without making my purchase. I noticed the typically friendly staff wasn't making eye contact or being friendly with me as they had done in the past. Even the kid at the register was being combative when I corrected him that the price on the bag was cheaper than what it rang up as. I calmly and politely explained to him that it's illegal to charge someone a higher price than what it's marked, and when he argued with me I told him that they should fix it immediately because they could get sued for that. A manager lady came over and fixed it (an older lady with white hair.) By that time my son and partner had already left the store because they were shunned and made to feel uncomfortable. This was Saturday, August 19th in the early afternoon. I'm leaving this review because I genuinely hope that the owner of the store reads it and cares enough about their business to reprimand these employees and the white-haired lady who was obviously in charge. Because money is money and you shouldn't treat customers that way. Literally perpetuating negative stereotypes about ignorant Southerners, and embarrassing yourselves. So if you don't economically survive, I won't be surprised, because maybe other people have been treated this way too and they won't be coming back either. Life is too short for bigots to thrive, and it's unchristian of you to do so.

There is always someone out there that needs something on Thanksgiving Day, whether it be a…read morereplacement turkey for the one Aunt Flooey couldn't thaw out in time, canned gravy or, in my case, ice for 20 people. My sister told me Food World was one of the only stores open besides Walmart on the holiday and I opted for Food World which was closer. As my cousin and I walked in we noticed only a handful of shoppers inside and a covey (bevy) of cashiers/baggers standing at the registers, waiting for someone to check out. Once we got our ice (20 lbs. for $2.79) we checked out and I asked our bagger if they closed early. "If four o'clock is early", she said glumly. "Do you get time and a half?" I asked. Her head shook sadly in response. Does Food World make any money staying open on this holiday? Why don;t they pay holiday pay to these young employees? I feel like taking away a star! Shame!

This is a very cute and extremely immaculate boutique chocolate shop in Five Points in a former…read moreHallmark store. My Sorority sister and I visited yesterday and the staff were so friendly and the chocolates were absolutely delightfully lovely to look at! Sister purchased a box of them and I think the price was about $2.00 per chocolate item. Honestly, I don't like chocolate and bought nothing here and Sister didn't try any of the chocolates while we were together yesterday and I can't report on how they tasted. They do look absolutely lovely! The duo who were running the shop (husband and wife maybe?) had two vats of chocolate up front as you enter they were working with. Local news articles say this shop brings small-batch goodness to Huntsville. Cocoa Bama offers decadent truffles, bold flavor parings and Southern hospitality. Cocoa Bama sources cacao beans with rich flavor notes from fruity to earth, and bold Southern flavors such as bourbon caramel, honey pecan, toasted praline, and seasonal creations. Hannah Platko is the owner, and this shop is inspired by Cocoa Vienna which is a beloved chocolate shop founded by her father in Vienna Virginia in 2013. Hannah moved to Huntsville in 2023. Cocoa Bama offers tasting flights, seasonal collection, chocolate making workshops, curated gift boxes, and custom assortments that are thoughtful gifts for holidays, birthdays, weddings, and corporate events. They even offer custom creations. All of their chocolates, and trust me, they have a LOT of chocolate items (and I think some gummy bears) are hand crafted and hand decorated. The shop has two comfortable benches with cute (and store themed) throw pillows that flank the entrance/exit. As you face the store from Pratt Avenue, Star Market grocery store is to the right and the second location of Good Company company cafe is to the left. Free street parking is available or you could park at Star Market or Propst pharmacy across the street and still be just a few steps away!

I haven't had a bad thing from there. And I try to go as often as I am allowed. The chicken fajita tacos are my favorite and I love that you can choose between flour and corn tortillas and even ask for a mix if you order multiple (you will) For tortas my number one would be the cochinita! The flavors just hit and it's an absolute delight for your tastebuds. I have no bad things to say. And the customer service is always to the nines. If you have your fur baby with you, you can even ask for a dog friendly quesadilla/taco to give!

Their pastor and lengua are phenomenal (asada is hit or miss) and the flour tortillas are soooo chewy and delicious. Their cheese sauce and salsa are mid. And the only reason why I took off a star is because their hours can be super unpredictable. Make sure to give them a call OR check their instagram page BEFORE driving over! Even though their hours said they'd be open, they're not always open... Eating tacos at Valentina's is one of the reasons why I look forward to coming to HSV. So make sure to give them a call before eating some of the best tacos ever~

I was able to…read moreorder food pretty easily and was requested whether I wanted a to go order or if I was going to eat here. There's also additional seating nearby if someone wants to sit inside. After ordering, I was given one of those electronic items that would let me know when my order was ready. I was able to comfortably sit in my car while waiting for the order to be ready. I received my food - 4 tacos- in about 10 minutes. There was a side of pickled carrots and limes. They were street tacos so they had the protein, raw onions, and shredded lettuce, but still could use a lot more flavor. I added the green and red sauce thinking it would help to no avail. The quality has decreased from the last time I went here.
