The guy who will be the opening GM is moving down from Colorado and is a good bulldog. You should give it a shot. I'm told they are doing some very cool remodeling and want the place to be fun. Live music , drinks, and stay open late slinging BBQ. I know we already have LD and Petty's but this is a completely different atmosphere and setup from what I understand. Craft beer, brisket, and some guitar strummin is in my wheelhouse.

Providence or Jones Valley?
And for the record, I am a Moe's fan. Wing platter or BBQ nachos is the way to go. Also ensure you check out the Thanksgiving sandwich.

What Starkville really needs is original restaurants started and ran by Bulldogs who are invested in the community and will give back to the community.

I was out when Old Venice quit giving free bread.
Two Brothers has some really good BBQ dishes, especially when they have brisket on the menu. You can sit down there, and I'd go there way before Dickey's. And I like Dickey's a lot.
Sounds like Moe's will do well on gamedays. Hopefully it will bring some traffic to downtown. I graduated less than 5 years ago and with the closings/ restrictions mentioned above it has taken a huge hit on nightlife since my day.

THIS! And places that have local musicians playing which it sounds like the new place will do that. You have a variety of local places that serve various types of food and some with music, some pubs and that's how Starkville gets a vibrant nightlife. And it needs to run from the Cotton District all the way down Main St.

More BBQ is awful. There is becoming almost no selection whatsoever in Starkville. Burgers, Q, chicken, sammiches. If you don't want one of those, you're SOL.
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

For purely personal taste, I'm with you. That sounds amazing. But the overall point myself and several others are making is the variety in town is sorely lacking. I have no idea how to fix it in a retirement community, though.

An Italian restaurant that doesn't serve bread doesn't deserve to stay in business. Also, their service has gotten progressively worse the last 6 months....like waitresses not know what time happy hour hour is, bringing out wrong food, and just generally not being good at your job. Shame though, because I used to love the place.

Downtown Starkville has so much potential to me. I know they run shuttles on game days but I don't know if they do other days. I think one of the main things working against downtown Starkville is its distance from campus.

Was there right before the super regionals. We ate there and was strikingly underwhelmed by the food. Service was "meh." It's hard to do well with those two things in the restaurant biz..

Not so. You can get steaks, seafood, crispy duck and a good variety at Tyler or the Veranda. Golden Horn is the same just 12 minutes away on four lane Hwy 12.
And those aren't the only places you can get steaks, there are the b-list national chains like Chilis and Ruby Tuesdays for those that like that level of restaurant.
Cappe's is re-opening at the same location after the fire they had, super steaks there.
ETA: I think a national chain with that kind of backing can go all in in that location with live music, bar and large beer selection. It'll be perfect and a big hit.

What yall are going to laugh at and what i think every ms town needs is a fish fry. Dont take much, but to me, it isnt the south without one.
Guys in vaiden and carmack in....carmack i guess are my favorites outside of dooyes and larrys in starkville.

Oby's fried catfish is the best kept secret in town. It is the breaded lighter than anywhere you will ever eat catfish and with the perfect amount of pepper and salt.

Vaiden has, hands down, the best hushpuppies I have ever eaten.

Man, Oxford kicks our ass in the downtown department. Really badly. There's no need to copy, but a different mentality is needed. We do actually have decent variety spread around town. We just need a high traffic, commercial mentality for Starkville.
It's the alumni and residents fault as much as anything as compared to some of the other SEC towns. The "retirement community" is overblown in my opinion. I have heard no one against progression of downtown.

Penns at least provides the "fried fish fix", even though it's a chain. I'm surprised no one has done something with the Wasson's location.
