1970-1975

There were no bars that I remember.

Very few restaurants.

Maybe... Burger Chef "Can I have a Big Chef a large order of fries and a medium coke to go please" every day on my way to work in Columbus.

My brother was at State 00-04. He said Flo N Eddies had some damn deals.

[Jarius]

The best one now is The Landing. The cotton district needed that type of bar desperately.

Burger Chef
Pizza Hut - all your could eat for around $3.00 for lunch
A little Chinese restaurant on Hwy 12, I forget the name
A little Mexican taco truck? - 10 cent tacos on Sunday morning - On hwy 12 behind Shoney's. I was a big spender and would get 10 tacos for $1.00!
Shoney's - all you could eat shrimp - they kicked us out as we ate too much - go figure?
Starkville Cafe - good grilled cheese
Arbys - roast beef sandwich with bird shot in it, oh those were the days!
Thompson Steak House on 82 east - when I could afford it!
Captain D - first place I ever had Fish and Chips
Sonic Drive-in

This was 1976 - 1980.

Done!!
Damn, we must be close to same age.

And what was the place way out at the "crossroads"?? I was always drunk by the time we made that trip. Lol

[3dawgnight15]

When I was in School we had almost everyday covered:
Tuesday Veranda - $2 Bonsai (cheap Red Bull) & Vodka out of a Gatorade cooler
Wednesday Bistro/State Theater- $2 wells and $75 natty
Thursday Hunt Club - All you could drink for $5. Yes it was the Hunt Club but large enough groups were fun.
Deals wherever on the weekends but Mugshots and live music was not bad.

I will stand for no Hunt Club slander!! Thursday night was Greek night and I'm pretty sure it was $10 all you can drink by the time I was there. We definitely got 3x or 4x our money's worth every time

Tuesdays - Rick's $2 Tacos / $1 Margs
Thursdays - StaggerIn $10 all you can drink wells (including walk me downs)
Thursdays - Cowbells $5 entry for penny pitchers
Fridays - StaggerIn $2 Fireball shots and then roam the district like an asshat
Fridays - Dawghouse Nickel Night. $10 entry and nickel for every shot. (They went out of business obviously)
Sundays - Rick's Steak dinner for $12

Food wise Little Dooey (but I worked there) was my number #1. Then it just depended on what I was in the mood for. LaTa still the best mexican.

Covid really wrecked some of the best options. I think Starkville peaked with the scene in 2018-2019 and is almost close to recovering.

There were more than a couple nights I stumbled out of Stagger and there were people passed out in the bushes. Great place. Still think they were absolutely idiotic to give up that location. They had it made.
