I'm still on the van winkle search but I feel like it's useless unless you know someone that has it.Quote:

We'll probably end up with our 15th Mexican restaurant or sub shop.Quote:

Denny's also closed and will be a super sonic car wash. That's a high dollar car wash.
I wish we'd get a taziki's... about the only thing we're missing.
As far as what I haven't seen mentioned, Lost Pizza is the best pie in town (nothing against Stromboli's, and I guess I can't speak for city bagel pizza but their pasta is great. Also not counting Dave's deep dish, which is incredible but we never go there because of the long wait time). Also little dooey is terrific, everything is good even if you prefer another place for actual pork. The catfish is stellar and all the sides are good, they have the best chicken tenders anywhere.
I do like Dooey... especially their catfish, but the best chicken strips in town are at the Sprint Mart on the west end of town on 12. And I say that with an air of authority on the matter. Having two kids (7 & 9), if there is one thing I am well versed on it's the town's chicken strips. I always shake my head when we go out to eat and they start arguing on where they want to go when one just refuses to go where the others want to. I'll point blank ask them why it matters to them where we go because you're going to order chicken strips.
I've seen people mention restaurant tyler and the veranda. I hate saying this because I much prefer supporting locally owned restaurants over chains, but I'm just not impressed with either of those places compared to the amount of money you'll pay. Both ar good, but not exceptionally outstanding. Or it could be that they try to serve a more fancy and discerning fair and I'm more a common food type of guy. Give me a steak and some flaky batter onion rings and I'm on cloud nine. I don't need a pan seared herb encrusted duck breast in a reduction sauce with shoestring roasted zuchini.
I came to town for the SEC softball tournament last year determined to only try places I had never been before. Here's the thread: http://www.elitedawgs.com/showthread...CT-food-thread
Listen to itcouldhappen. He got me onto Two Brothers.
The wings are super (even their ranch is above board to me). I also recommend pimento cheese fritters and BBQ pulled pork grilled cheese.

Taziki's is needed bad. Does Starkville already have a Greek restaurant? A Zoe's kitchen would do well also. Although I prefer local restaurants over chains, these two that started in Birmingham and would be good to have in town.
Dot's Chicken is another that would do well in Starkville.
There use to be Zorba's above Restarant Tyler. That menu was Greek inspired, but they switched it over to Upstairs At Tyler a few years ago.
Flo and Eddy's is one place I miss.
Is Sonny's still open? I know it stayed open, at least for a little while, after he died. Back in the day, Sonny's left Dooey's and Petty's in the dust! Not even close!
Since Abner's is closed, you can go to Zaxby's for chicken strips. Just don't forget to order the chicken with the plate of salt they give you.
I'm surprised Denny's lasted as long as it did with the horror stories I've heard about that place and the experience I had the one time I ate there.
I agree with the poster about Lost Pizza. Best in town.
Bulldog Burger >>>>>>> Mugshots
For just an old fashioned, truck stop style, straight burger, Bully's Burgers and Wings >>>>>> Christy's
Did you go for the food or the cocaine? That place had a lot of blow going through there in my day.Quote:
