McAlister's is good if you know what to get. Their tea is the best tea you an get. I like their French dip. Their potato salad is top notch.

Never had a bad choice for many lunches with friends at Cater - soup, salad, quiche, sandwiches…read more Also had some quiches made for a family gathering that were a big hit with all ages. The casserole options are good too. My favorite is the sweet potato with pecan topping. Just pop in the oven and the meal is done.

Customer service: spot on great experience…read more Food: it was ok. The Mexican salad was watery and a strange consistency. Presentation/delivery: this was ordered several weeks in advance as a catering order to be picked up. I chose the specific salads, sweet treats, and crackers and chips. I understood that everything would be on a platter ready to lay out on the table for the meeting I was hosting. Sweet treats would be cut and arranged on a platter. I selected all of the specific items I wanted abd prepaid. Fast forward to pick up day. The order wasnt ready. When i showed up, staff was scrambling to put the order together. They pulled the salads that I ordered from the refrigerator, cut the sweet treats bars (although they didn't have any of the bars I ordered), and threw everything in bags. Not only I didn't get what i ordered, but it wasn't presented as expected. There was no point in ordering ahead--I still had to wait. Then I had to go to the office and arrange everything on serving platters. So completely frustrating. Outcome: will not return.

I don't know how long Jersey Mike's has been in Starkville, but I didn't start going until this…read moresemester. Never noticed it. Then it popped up when I was looking for fast food places around here one night last week, so I went then and had a good experience. Today was my second time going to this location (third time EVER going to any Jersey Mike's), and I again had a good experience that I think is worth noting. Yes, Jersey Mike's is a little pricey, but the food is amazing with even better service. I walked in there wanting to get something different from what I got last week, and the girl who took my order was so helpful and offered a specific sandwich that fit my mood. While they were making my sandwich, the staff was eager to answer questions and was prepared to give suggestions concerning, in this case, the pepper relish (which was great!). "Oh yeah that's really good and would go well with mayonnaise." She was right! Again, I don't know if Jersey Mike's is new to Starkville, but this place is amazing and my new favorite place to get a sandwich (former fave was Jimmy John's). Their customer service is impressive and the reason for this review. I'll be stopping by consistently this semester in hopes that they maintain their high standards.

We made a visit here today (9/5/26) because they advertise that they carry gluten free buns. We…read morehave two family members with celiacs disease, who cannot consume gluten without being put in the hospital. As soon as we asked for gluten free buns the man taking our order immediately started groaning and complaining about having to do an allergen free order. This already made us feel uncomfortable, but we continued on. Then the same man asked another employee to make the meal and they agreed until he told them it was an order with an allergy. This employee complained and groaned too. It was extremely disrespectful. Especially when I know my family members would LOVE to be able to eat gluten and not have to be selective about restaurants they eat at. We find a place that is SUPPOSED TO BE accommodating, but instead left ashamed. They also proceeded to tell us after all the moaning and groaning that they only had one gluten free bun available.... So after we were made to feel bad then we were disappointed because it was all for nothing. They knew we had two gluten free orders when they started complaining... go and complain in the back all you want, but do not sit there and make someone feel small because they cant eat bread and you have to clean the equipment. Also just to add, the tables were covered in crumbs and food particles. Someone's personal Tostitos chips and salsa were left out open on one of the tables. Mind you it's 3 pm. This isn't a lunch rush time. The whole experience was awful. We love Jersey mikes, just not this one....

The Kroger gas pump will steal your money. Be very careful I tried to fill up and the man told me…read morethe pump was broken after I had swiped my card and it wouldn't work. Later tried to cancel with the man and he said it was broken when I got my Kroger bill. They had billed me $55 for gas and one of his friends/customers had come up and stolen the $55. And filled up at my expense. Kroger's gas will cheat you.

First off, I love Kroger. I have always been a huge fan of Kroger especially Starkville Kroger. I…read morehave no idea what is going on with this location, but I am so very disappointed. Over the past three months, I have consistently experienced problems that make shopping here frustrating and unsatisfactory. * Pickup delays: On multiple occasions, my scheduled pickup orders have not been ready until the following day. This is a problem because I live an hour away! It is frustrating to make it half way to the store only to receive an automated text stating my order will not be ready until the next day! Gas is not cheap, and I am a poor teacher. I mean seriously, just turn off the pickup times once you reach your limit for that time slot! * Missing items: Once, I drove all the way home only to discover that 20 items were missing from my order. No one offered an apology or resolution beyond a simple refund. Yet again, I live an hour away. Customer service suggested "Oh it's sitting right here. Just come back and get it." They truly acted as if it were my fault that the items were left out and I was inconveniencing them. (My bad. I guess I should have counted each individual item as we loaded them into my trunk-yes. WE. I always get out and help! * Poor product quality: The fresh produce I receive is often moldy or spoiled, which is unacceptable. Not once. Not twice. But every single time I order strawberries they are covered in fuzzy mold. * Customer service: The pickup employees are frequently rude and unhelpful, which only adds to the frustration. I have been a loyal Kroger customer because of the convenience and quality I've come to expect. Unfortunately, this location is falling far below that standard. I am asking that Kroger address these issues promptly and take steps to improve the pickup service, product quality, and customer service at the Starkville store. I hope to continue shopping with Kroger, but unless these problems are resolved, I will be forced to take my business elsewhere.

I used to go to this specific place a few years ago when I lived and since moving back I thought to…read morego again. Sadly they have just slipped downhill. I go inside and the girl behind the counter (not the one making the sandwiches) is on her phone talking to someone about what streaming service she was going to pay for or something like that. When I went to order she kept being rude and cutting me off. I went and got a drink from the machine and it tasted like the carbonation had run out. I would have brought it up to the girl but her conversation was apparently the most important thing in the world at the time. I got my sandwich shortly after and before I could walk away with it the girl making the sandwich needed it back because she "forgot something". Apparently what she forgot was to drown my sandwich in bbq sauce making it completely inedible. I can only assume this stems from a problem a lot of businesses are having where they hire young workers and then proceed to not hold them accountable for basic rules of business like customer service. I'll just go to one of the many other sandwich places from now on. It's a shame how bad this place has gone.

GREAT EVERY TIME…read more Firehouse subs is definitely one of the sandwich spots we can always count on to have great service and great food. And in the Starkville location you're definitely not disappointed. We are always greeted properly and have our food within a few minutes of ordering. Often times we get takeout and never have any issue. They do follow CDC regulations and guidelines correctly and their price point is always reasonable. This location is always kept very clean and in good order.
