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.

Decent, not super.

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..

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.

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.

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.

Wassons is now the Mayhew Junction Brewery.

Is it just the beer garden and the speakeasy?
Pita Pit if you want to count it. Strombolis on the other end of University, too.

Two Brother's and Petty's are the best BBQ in town.
The Bin is the bin.
We have a Salsarita's which is B level Chiptole.
And for fine dining, you guys have covered all the basics; but have failed to mention the Guest Room. It is simply amazing.

I didn't even know about Two Brothers.

It's tucked away in the Cotton District next to Commodore Bob's in the old Jean's Cafe location (which is now in the old Waffle House by the highlands). I believe it's run by a pair of alumni brothers, one cooks and the other manages. Staff is young but they seem to take a lot of pride in their service. They don't do much advertising other than social media, so there's typically a younger crowd, but it's a great atmosphere and I've never had a bad experience. Parking is a hassle in the Cotton District, but it's worth it to support local business. They have really good meat, a great selection of alcohol, and the best brisket sandwich I've ever had (although not a regular menu item).

I've heard that Two Brothers is solid. I just hope they stay open. Anywhere in that area is difficult because the rent is outrageous. Every single location in those new developments has turned over ownership at least 3 or 4 times. Those two bars across from the bin that are both about the size of my kitchen turn over to new owners pretty much every football season. Bin 612 is the only one that has been stable.

Across street from the Bin in one of those two story bldg's. I guess it's next to Commodore Bob's too. Still need to check those places out when I'm up there.

I'm upset they are a closing. I spent many a night in there drinking well whiskey and not talking to women
