    Walk Ons in Starkville

    Where is the Walk Ons being built in Starkville? I understand it is due to open in April.

    I can't verify 100% but from what I've heard both the plans for Gondoliers old spot and another spot on 12 near neighborhood Walmart have been passed on. I think I would have heard about a different spot if April was the timeframe

    Thanks. I read on the Walk Ons web site that the Starkville location is to be the next one to open and in April. They better get busy moving dirt for an April opening.

    I've had a good experience in the one in Hattiesburg every time I've went. What's your beef with that one?

    I have been to all of the ones in Louisiana and Hattiesburg. I rate Baton Rouge and Shreveport very high on Talent alone. Denham Springs and West Monroe come in next on talent. New Orleans is okay but Zachary,La. is better. Hattiesburg has an extremely young staff and that may affect service there. Lafayette, La. has lots of talent, but the food is up and down. May be good one time and not as good the next.

    I have never ordered something first that’s they had. In 3 trips there I’ve never tasted food that I liked.

    Looked at the site and can find no listing for Starkville. Future locations in MS listed as:

    Gulfport/Biloxi, MS
    Jackson, MS
    Oxford, MS
    Southaven, MS

    No red or blue flags on Starkville!

    Is Walk-ons a "breastaurant"? Or do you mean actual talent at serving food? I've never been and can't really tell from your comment.

    The one in Hattiesburg is decent, but it is not a place I go a lot.

    No, but the waitresses are all in cheerleader outfits that any high school would find acceptable.

    It wasn't before the Covid. The mayor has really been heavy handed with Covid guidelines and it's hurt some places.

    I have never had a dish that I didn’t enjoy at Walk Ons anywhere to include Hattiesburg. They have a lot of Cajun and seafood dishes that are as good as any chain restaurants anywhere. I would obviously prefer a local spot, which brings me to a question that I can’t figure out. Why are Starkville local bar owners not smart enough to realize that people want to watch sports in their bars? The ones in the cotton district especially have almost zero access to televisions. Starkville needs our version of Oxford’s Library in the worst way. Two Brothers is the only one that even comes close to having enough tv’s for me to sit there on a weekend and watch games all day. I end up going to Wild Wings or now I will go to Walk Ons for that reason. Most men want to watch sports when they are on tv. A bar should have that. Sorry for the rant.

    It should list Tupelo, Starkville, and Meridian. They may have pushed dates back due to covid.

    The article I read was about how they are creating smaller footprint restaurants and The Starkville, Ms. location will be the first of the smaller ones, not significantly smaller, but a couple hundred square feet smaller.

    I bet Oxford gets one first, hell I wouldn't be surprised if they decide not to open one in Starkville. Oxford is outgrowing Starkville at a pretty rapid pace right now, and I think has more residents for the first time ever. MSU and Starkville need to find a way to attract more retired alums to move there. It would sure help the local businesses and allow for growth. That's the biggest difference between the two places from what I see.

    Oxford City/Lafayette County Government >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Starkville City/Oktibbeha County Government ..... plus residents in Oxford/Lafayette embrace the University, unlike Starkville/Oktibbeha County residents.
