Johnny Gryll’s II restaurant defiant over mask mandate, banning health officials and Governor Kay Ivey
Johnny Gryll’s II restaurant has posted on Facebook that they are banning certain Huntsville city officials and the governor of Alabama in apparent defiance of the new mask mandate. Governor Kay Ivey issued the order, and it goes into effect starting at 5 pm, July 16. The ban includes Madison County health officials Dr. Karen Landers and Dr. Scott Harris, Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, Madison Mayor Paul Finley, Madison County Commission Chair Dale Strong, and the governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey. The post states that the ban is in response to the mask mandate, saying, “These orders create unnecessary stress, liability, and physical, mental and financial burdens on the restaurant and its employees.” One Facebook comment by Jarvis Lampley stated, “I’ve been at your establishment TWICE and never spending another dime there. This is the most selfish, careless thing I have seen yet. There are many places in this city that are 10 times better and care about the safety of its employees and the public. Enjoy your shutdown.” Paul Bull commented, “I’ll ban myself, masks save lives.” In contrast to that is a comment that came from Tim Jensen, who stated, “That’s what I’m talking about, got my support. Always loved the food and service, very fun staff as well that always seem to be in a good mood.” Johnny Gryll’s II is a restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama, and is owned by Mike Heffelfinger.
