“Dave's Dark Horse Tavern was a gem my wife and I found but had previously passed up because we thought it was a place connected in with the Red Roof Inn located near it. We decided to take a gamble and give them a visit anyway.Y'all this is the reason we live for gambles and so glad we did. This place was a hole in a wall with an AMAZING ambience, great group activities like darts and pool, live music, great bar selections, and CRAZY delicious food. Needless to say, we doubled back 2 nights in a row.My wife is vegan and I'm vegetarian so we have been pretty limited on places that serve anything but a veggie burger for us and typical sides around Starkville. When we took the menu into our hands and saw falafel, hummus, veggie burger, cauliflower buffalo wings, cauliflower buffalo wrap, veggie pizza, etc. They CLEARLY took the time to look out for their vegan and vegetarian crowd and not just grab veggie meat burgers and call it a win. They also have great desserts and drinks on brew and top shelf. The beignets were as the French would probably say - un petit bout de paradis .If you are in Starkville, do yourself a "flavor" and make this one of your stops for an experience and meal that definitely won't disappoint. ?️ #HappyEatingVegetarian options: Calzone, Buffalo Cauliflower (wings & wraps), Hummus, Falafel (alone or wrap), Fries, Cheese Fries, Queso, Quesadilla, Beignets, etcDietary restrictions: Gluten freeParking: Parking is shared with the Red Roof Inn customers so sometimes you will need to be parked in front of rooms - which may feel a little weird. I was a bit weirded out the first time but not so bad your second time around and so forth.“
“The third place I tried during my tenure, working at Ackerman. The food was okay, I had a Panini patty melt, As they did not have the ability to make my Manhattan I had a Gin and tonic. It was good. Service was excellent. As far as value it was certainly very reasonable.“
“Had a lot of fun here the night before a game. Hung out with the owner and his good friend. Fantastic people. They only have a beer license, but I was fine with that. Great view of Main Street off the second floor patio. The crowd was mostly college kids in the interior, which is quite young compared to us, but out on the patio it was the older folks lol.“
“Just got back from here. Had a lovely evening, our first visit to this restaurant (even though we live in Caledonia). I’ve heard nothing but good things and that was our experience as well. Upscale local dining for the Starkville community, somewhat pricey but excellent food and service. Shout out to Milly, our server, who was extremely friendly and informative. Tonight was a steak special explained in detail by Milly which was totally delicious and we also enjoyed the barbecue okra as well as chocolate cake. Had a nice Merlot specifically paired for our dinner. We will be visiting again!“
“This is the best bar in Starkville. The bartenders are so friendly and will make anything you wish. They go to lengths to make sure you are getting the exact drink you ask for. The music is great, the customers are even more fantastic. I highly recommend this bar if you live in Starkville, or just visiting. Very high quality establishment.“
“What a great taco place with some of the best authentic street tacos I've ever had. The free chips and salsa are very delicious as well. The salsa has a nice smooth texture to it as well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for some great Mexican food. Pictured is 2 Al Pastor tacos (pork and pineapple), 1 Barbacoa (shredded beef) and 1 Cochinita (pork). All 4 were amazing.“
“Always grab crawfish from these guys and they never disappoint! Typically get it as early as December for the season and when I'm in town I'm grabbing a few pounds for sure. - Food Great Cajun style food! Menus isn't extensive but the items they do have are solid - Consistency in food Never a problem here. - Service This place triples as a gas station and a liquor store. They are usual pretty good on all fronts. - Atmosphere Not a place you dine in but typical gas station atmosphere. Cleaner than other gas stations I've been to but the immediate smell of crawfish / seafood when you walk in is a sign of what's to come on the menu.“
“Amazing amazing amazing! Just grabbed a rack of ribs for my son's 16 birthday. We absolutely love this place. Good prices, excellent bbq, nice folks, and quick to pickup! I only wish they didn't run out of food so quickly, but that's a good thing right?“
“Great food, and kind staff. Was understaffed when we the first time so getting a table was slower but that wasn’t really on the restaurant. Atmosphere was amazing especially your Alumni of Mississippi State. My favorite was there breakfast burger. For those that have never been, just a heads up the burgers are big!“
