The Landing of Starkville — Restaurant in Starkville

It has great potential, but as several others have pointed out, the food and service are subpar. I was there on a game day, and they ran out of half of their food by one o’clock. Bartender was extremely rude. Repeatedly ignored while he served his friends buckets of beer. When I finally got served, I asked for a bucket and he said “I’m not doing buckets. It takes way too long” in a rude tone after I saw him do 3 buckets right before I ordered. Bartenders and servers seem overwhelmed the entire time, and obviously have not been prepared/trained for their jobs. Most of them are inexperienced and rude. I understand that will happen to a degree, as most of them are college students, but it’s worse than the other bars around town with the same age staff.

The food is concession stand quality if they even have it available. The only saving grace here is the location and setup. I recommend any other bar or restaurant in the district especially if you are looking for food.

I have been here two other times - in baseball season and in the summer. Both times, it seemed like no one knew what they were doing. I chalked it up to it being a new bar, but my most recent experience did not encourage me to give it...

I recently moved to Starkville from Texas, and have really enjoyed visiting your bar a few times since arriving. Unfortunately, my experience tonight was very disappointing and concerning. I recognize that this was one of the first weekends with undergraduates back in town, and I understand how demanding that can be for staff. However, the service I received from one of the female bartenders was unacceptable. My friend and I waited over 30 minutes at the bar, yet during that time she repeatedly ignored us and served only the men around us including those who had arrived well after we did. When she finally acknowledged us, she began to take our order but immediately dismissed us once our male friend clarified we were not on his tab, then continued to ignore us until the bar slowed down. As someone who has worked as a bartender myself, I know how stressful and fast-paced a Friday night shift can be. Out of respect for that, I still tipped her. That said, the way we were treated was unprofessional, discriminatory, and left a very negative impression. Guests should never feel disregarded or singled out, regardless of how busy...

The atmosphere is perfect for a college crowd with games, a stage, 2 large bars, plenty of seating and the highlight of a rooftop bar overlooking the cotton district. The service was bad from the start. We ordered the chips and queso for an appetizer which came out with our food vs before. The queso was cold and the chips a poor quality and we questioned why they bothered to include the tablespoon of salsa. I ordered a roast beef sandwich which sounded great on the menu but came out with questionable roast beef deli slices and a glob of something that was supposed to be gravy. It was cold and inedible. I would have sent it back but our server was MIA until the rest of my table had already finished. My husband ordered the Italian sandwich and said it was meh. The kids ate the pizza but also said it was just ok. I have seriously had better food at a ballpark concession stand. I rarely give negative reviews but you should know this is a great place for a drink, but don't go hungry because that is how you will leave. This place has a lot of potential but needs to ramp up service and food quality before we...
