A honest and long review about our experience at The Guest Room…read more The hype for this place wasn't worth it. I reallyyyy wanted to write a raving review about this place but there were so many issues that I can't. My husband and I tried coming here two separate times. Once on Thursday night around 8pm and then another time the next night. On Thursday night, we had gone to dinner at Restaurant Tyler and then popped over afterwards to see if we could get a seat. My husband had been before and said it was cool to check out so naturally, I wanted to as well. When we checked it, the girl at the front says it'll be a 45 minute wait. We decided to still put our name down and then just walk around. We ultimately decided to give up our place in line and go back to our airbnb due to being tired from travel that day. The real problems happened the following night. There were 6 people in our group this night. We came around 4pm to put our name down, knowing that it would be a long wait. We were thinking 2 hours maybe.. Upon checking in, the girl at the front writes our name and number down on a order notepad... like the ones the you would if you were a server. I thought this was kind of odd but didn't think much of it. After doing so, the girl proceeds to tell us that it will be at least a 4 hour wait! She says that she'll call us when it's our turn and that we'll have about 10 minutes to show up to claim the table. I couldn't believe it. She further mentions that big tables don't really open up that open which is understandable as it's a reallyyyy small bar. We hadn't eaten dinner yet so we were like okay, no biggie. We'll go have dinner and then check back in when we are done. Dinner runs longer than expected and by the time we finish, it had been about 3.5 hours since we initially checked in. Again, we go down into the bar and tell the girl that we wanted to check on our place in line. She proceeds to tell us that "there was a situation/incident and they had to scrap the list" they had but assured us that since we had put our names down before that she would move our names up so we "didn't lose our place in line" but that it would still be another few hours of a wait. Again, we said okay, no worries, we're going to go to a few of the bars down the street and come back. Fast forward to 10:30pm... we still hadn't heard back from the bar and were getting ready to call it a night. We head back to the bar for the 3rd time. The girl said that the table still wasn't ready and that "as sooooon as this party at the bigger table leaves, it's ours if we want to wait." At this point, this is just getting beyond ridiculous and we are getting frustrated. I understand that there is a "no reservations" and it is strictly walk ins only, however, a 6 hour wait for a table is simply unacceptable, especially when the inital time was roughly 4 hours. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt that because tt was a big game weekend (Texas vs. Mississippi State) so maybe that is contributing to the long wait, but after talking with someone who lives in Starkville and learning that there is always a ridiculous wait, I wasn't feeling as lenient at this point. We ended up being seated and squeezing ourselves in a "4 person" booth after explaining that it's been over 6 hours and just how ridiculous this wait was. After sitting there for about 10 minutes, the bigger table next to us left and we moved over. While we were there, it kind of seemed like the information being told to people who were wanting to be put on the list or were on the list and wanting to check their spot in line was inconsistent. It almost felt like you had to stand there the entire time in order to remind that that you were still waiting. Overall, this experience was so disappointing and they really need a better system for taking names/keeping track of reservations. We probably would have stayed longer and bought more drinks but ultimately only stayed for one round and then leaving. While the interior was super cool, decked out for Halloween and the drinks were good, the whole situation leading up to us being sat really soured the experience. Maybe having a smaller group would have its advantages but we'll never know.

A couple of other large parties had the same idea and I was glad we made advance reservations. Staff was attentive throughout. The bread service was a very good Italian type bread loaf slices with olive oil. I would have liked some Italian seasoning to add to it to make it even better. For appetizers my daughter insisted on the Fried Mozzarella Ravioli and I wanted to try the Arancini. Both were excellent! My wife and I decided to split the Seafood Linguini and each got a salad. I chose the Caesar side salad and she wanted the Italian side salad. I was wanting to try their gnocchi but that was the 1 item on the menu the server said that they did not have. (Unfortunately I didn't't find out until after I tried to order and had my mind set on it) There was a good amount of seafood but 1 more shrimp would have made it much easier to split evenly. Even sharing we were full especially knowing we had cake waiting for us back at the condo. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their choices as well. I can see why Taste is the go to choice for my daughter and her husband when they want to celebrate.

After spending the day with…read moreher we ventured out on our own in the Cotton District and stumbled upon the cutest little spot we had never been too. We sat at the bar because it was just the two of us and I had a French 75 and my husband had an old-fashioned. It was by far the best 75 I've ever had! The bartender was by herself and she was working her tail off! There was not a lot of servers, and it was later in the evening, but our bartender was fabulous! She was also our waitress. Started off with the martini mini board. A variety of cheese, nuts, and meats. It was very good for a starter. Not too much and a fun choice to share. We were not a fan of the dried apricots, but ate everything else. We then shared the pesto chicken flatbread. Crisp and warm. Would definitely get again. It was towards the end of the night and some of the staff gathered around the bar and started chatting with us. We told them we were from Baton Rouge. And got on the topic of football. Fun times and getting to know the staff. Our bartender ended up being in the same sorority as our daughter. It was a great evening. We will definitely be back! And highly recommend! Hail State!

We arrived at lunch (1PM) on a busy Saturday and were greeted by a somewhat frazzled server who…read moreoffered to seat us at the bar or we could wait for a table. We opted for bar seating and had water brought to us while we scanned the expansive drink menu. In addition to the signature cocktails, there is a variety of hard liquor, an amazing amount of whiskey, wine, (both red and white) as well as an impressive draft beer menu. It should be noted that there's a whiskey flight for $20 and you get a 1 ounce pour of each whiskey. It looks like there are seven on offer for this special. We didn't try it so cannot offer any more insights on that. We ordered the January gumbo special"Baby Duck Gumbo" - mine as is with chicken and sausage for $9 ( interestingly with okra which is only ever found in seafood gumbo ... at least in Louisiana) and the other with the addition of shrimp for $5 more. We asked for the saltines to be left off as we don't like to waste food and aren't fans of these old school standards. We split the brisket melt on marbled rye instead of Texas toast and left off the American cheese too... yeah we're *those* people... the sandwich comes with a choice of house seasoned fries or potato chips and we ordered the fries. The order arrived together (sigh). I would have preferred the gumbo to come first, then the sandwich, but hey, my mistake I guess I *should've* said something. Of course, I thought it was common sense that it should come in two courses instead of altogether. ... On a brighter not the order came just as we had requested and was a nice presentation. The gumbo was hearty and had plenty of protein albeit more rice than I would've liked. NOTE: if you are not an okra fan, beware. Both of us are good with okra so it was not a problem, but they do have plenty of okra in this gumbo. My dining partner said to skip the $5 add on of shrimp because although they are plentiful, they lack flavor. The sandwich is a decent size and was very tasty too and we both gave it a thumbs up. The fries were still hot and had a nice subtle flavor. Overall we'd give this roadhouse feeling, zany atmosphered little joint on the corner of Old West Point Rd and University a recommendation. The servers could use a refresher on how to greet guests and checking on them at least once during the meal :/ (1 star deduction) Oh, hey, they also have ample outdoor seating which is pet friendly for well behaved dogs.

Our server was a little slow and didn't bring out the appetizer until the food was already there too. Luckily it worked out because the sampler was so hot it needed a few minutes to cool down before we could touch it anyways. If you can get a spot it's definitely worth a try.

The taco leaked out a ton of liquid, not grease, a clear liquid which made the taco shell soggy so I just didn't bother with it.

Chile relleno is actually supposed to be a cheese stuffed Anaheim or Poblano pepper battered, fried, and served with a red sauce. Even the lemon on my water glass was gross- it smelled like alcohol and was shriveled and red like the server fished it out of someone's discarded cocktail. My daughter said her meal was gross too and didn't eat it. We didn't ask for a replacement or our money back. We paid, tipped well, and won't be back, ever.
