A Starkville original, Oby's is always a good meal and has an awesome atmosphere. Oby's is a cajun style restaurant with very large servings which makes up for the prices that can be a tad on the expensive side at times. While you're there make sure to check out the collection of antiques. read more

I love obys! It's actually one of my favorite places to get gumbo. And their chicken strips grilled or fried is amazing. If you're visiting Starkville this is a great place to stop for a quick bite of extremely flavorful food! read more

Oby's offers some great food, serving up their take on cajun cuisine. Their po'boys are the main attraction, offering a great variety of sandwiches. While living in Starkville, my personal favorite sandwich seemingly changed on a week-to-week basis. You can't go wrong with any of the following: the roast beef, the catfish po'boy, the Philly cheese steak, the Around the World (which combines some of the different sandwiches into one), the Kickin' Chicken, and my all-time fave, the Muffuletta. A sandwich, a side of waffle fries or red beans & rice, and a sweet tea is a great meal. The only con I can find with the place is the price. The aforementioned meal will run near or over $10 just for a half sandwich. But my goodness, it's worth it. They apparently know what they can charge for this greatness, so they easily get away with it. read more

Absolutely delicious food! I would definitely eat here every day if I could afford to do so. Delicious Cajun Po boys, sandwiches, and all sorts of other things! I definitely recommend stopping by here at least once if you are driving through. Super bonus because they offer military discounts!!! read more

So they were out of potato salad AND cole slaw AND diet coke. The gal that was cashiering had the peronality of a piece of wood and didn't apologize for the things they were out of. My mother asked for lemon in her tea and she grabbed 2 lemons and dropped them in the tea. Who the hell does that? My mother had to reach in her tea to retrieve them to squeeze them not once but twice The taco salad had the meat on the side in a black bowl so it looked like salsa. We asked for the meat and the girl takes the salad and then comes back and says there's the meat and points to the bowl. And walks off. Who doesn't put the meat in the salad? Not to mention it isn't very aesthetically pleasing like that. The food was good but the customer service was horrific. read more

Usually great food. Can become very busy and loud. Muffuletta last time was just okay. Red beans were tasty but not hot enough. Are they slipping? read more

This is our favorite place to eat in Starkville. It's just a cool place with great food. The potions are fairly large.

Cool atmosphere. Great food (expensive for sandwiches..can end up being about $12 for a sandwich, fries and drink). Their cups are my fine china though ;) read more

Normally, Oby's is decent food. However, our last trip the food was awful. My Philly cheesesteak was one of the worst things I've ever tried to eat. They should be embarrassed to serve it! read more

Jalepeno BLT was pretty great. Hubby ordered Muffaletta with extra olives & it was good, but not the best we've had. Overall decent eats

What can I say? This place is so cool inside with all the trinkets that have been collected and hung on the walls over the years. A must visit for lunch in Starkville. Stop in and try one of the Po'boys... Delicious. I usually always go with the gator po'boy - tastes like chicken! ;) read more

i ordered the fried chicken tenders (and ranch dressing) with a side of garlic bread. the. best. chicken. ever! highly recommend this place!

A little bit over priced, true, but the food is great and the portions are enormous! Plus, one of the few places in Starkville where you can actually find vegetarian friendly things on the menu - try the veggie po boy or the red beans and rice, both excellent! read more

Was in town from Saint Louis for business...and loved this place. The shrimp Po Boy was amazing. My associate had the catfish Po Boy and he loved his too. Potato salad wad very mustardy. Just know that going in. Also, there is no size of a drink. You automatically get a large plastic cup which you can take home with you. read more

I like Oby's. It's good food. I have never had a bad meal here, although I have never had an exceptional meal here either. But it's not that type of place. It is New Orleans cuisine and bar food. I enjoy the alligator po boy when they have it. The jambalaya is good also. The bread pudding should be award winning though. It is easily one of the top 5 I have had, and I have had it at tons of the 5 star places in New Orleans. It outranks all of those. Come to think of it, my top 3 bread puddings are all in Mississippi, and not in Louisiana, where you think it would be better since they brag about it so often. Anyway, Oby's in Starkville can be a long wait on a college football game day. You have to wait in line to order at a counter. They could easily have a hostess and seat you with a menu to cut your visit time down in half. That should be easy for the manager to figure out, but they never try that. read more

Great atmosphere and decor. I had the Seafood Gumbo with cheese bread. And also the Alligator Poboy. Yumm...

Amazing red beans and rice- enjoyed the crawfish PoBoy; my daughter's shrimp PoBoy was even better!! Obviously this place is a town favorite judging by the lines out the door every time I have tried to check it out- after finally stopping I can see why. We will be back next time in Starkville read more

I've eaten a lot of Reuben sandwiches, and Oby's is about as good as any I've had. They also have really good chicken tenders and fries. But honestly I usually don't stray away from the Reuben. It also has a nice, casual atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Starkville. read more

This place is pretty darn good. Nice atmosphere and the waffle fries hit the spot. Drink selection isn't the best on earth but it gets the job done. If you order anything other than the gator po boy, yousa lil bitch. read more

Great food. Had half muffuletta. Was tasty. My friend had the roast beef po boy. She ate the whole thing. Get the fresh fruit cup. It comes with a side of some type of dip. Delicious!! read more

LOVED this place! We are from Louisiana and were visiting Mississippi State for a college trip for my daughter. It reminded us of home. The Po-boys were great! The atmosphere was perfect! Highly recommend! read more

Awesome restaurant - friendly folks and great food with several different items. Highly recommend!

Fantastic restaurant. They have Po-boys, salads, baked potatoes, gumbo, red beans and rice, etc...It's located a little over a mile from campus. Very casual. read more

I ordered catfish and hushpuppies for our tailgate. They were delicious. The Rotel and Chips is the best. Will definitely do that again. They were also really great to work with. Thanks. read more

Being from Texas I know good BBQ and the food is a 4+ and the main issue was that our food was served lukewarm at best. Tasty and very flavorful. Nice and clean with great decor. Just a reminder that your food needs to be served HOT!!!! read more

I ordered the obys chicken club. The flavor was nice but for $9 one chicken strip and 2 crumbled strips of bacon and a slice of ham was disappointing. The value for this sandwich was not there. Maybe there might be a next time. read more

One of my favorite places in Starkville. Even though there is only one thing I order when I am there. The alligator po-boy.

I have loved Oby's for many years, but the last few months it has been very poor. Yesterday in particular, I ordered a cajun roast beef with everything on it. It only had 1/4 of the meat and less than that on the toppings. The sandwhich was much smaller than normal. I tipped before I sat down (wrong thing to do). I could not get any one to help my sandwhich or me. I had been telling my wife that she would love the muffeleta.. She got one, no olive spread, 1/4 of the meat as normal. I have heard from others that they have gone down hill too. The owners need to wake up and get after the employees and cooks. I used to love this place. I will not go back until I know it's been fixed. This is the 2nd time we have had a visit like this this year. read more

Well, dang. Always liked Oby's. Husband and son went there tonight and their muffaletta was tiny and had meager fillings. I had a "to go" potato. I paid 75 cents extra for cheese which was maybe MAYBE a 1/2 ounce at best. Butter and sour cream on the side. For a big potato, they sent a 1 oz packet of each. I have a pic I can post later but bottom line is about 1/5 of the potato was edible as the rest was just plain, dry potato. Skimping may be necessary at times, but on sour cream, cheese and butter? I can get way better at (gasp) Wendy's for half the price. I would bet they wouldn't do this if it was a dine in meal. I would have sent it back in a heartbeat and I don't like to send food back. read more

Sent fries back bc they were hard as rocks. Cole slaw may have sat too long in the fridge. The catfish meal was almost $16 so I expected a little bit better than what I got. I think if you want a great meal, don't go here. read more

Love the sweet tea and the fries. Usually pretty crowded, but the kitchen is quick to get food out. Can be hard for a large group to find tables together on busy nights. Fun to look at all the decor on walls. read more

Try the roast beef sandwich. Everything they make is great. Prices a little high, but worth the money.

I first went to Obys over 30 years ago and try to go each time I am in town. Recently was in town and went twice. The first time I had the shrimp poboy and it was very good. The side I chose was potatoe salad which was so-so. The second time I had the muffeletto and chips. Unfortunitely the chips were the best thing. Wont get that again because it was a big swing and a miss. Still I recommend Obys read more

Great atmosphere friendly service the bread there is delicious. I got the club there and my brother got the shrimp po boy the club had a great taste. The restaurant had a kinda vintage atmosphere. Got my food quick. My brother told me the shrimp was really good too. read more

The shrimp Po Boy is amazing, a must try. I love the atmosphere and will definitely be coming back.

Food was palatable, however service was absolutely horrible. We had to walk up and get our own refills on drinks and asked more than once for a to go box. Waitstaff needs to be trained to tend to their customers' needs. read more

A bit pricey, but Po Boys are good, and overall good food.

Interesting little place but honestly, the food was nothing special. A bit of a limited menu and I'm not sure where they get the label of "creole." My wife's Bayou Orchard salad had no discernible "Bayou" attributes and the same could be said of my creole roast beef sandwich. Overall, I'm disappointed in yet another local Starkville favorite. read more

An old favorite of mine. New Orleans style Po-boy sandwiches. I love the pepper cheese steak, although it's hard to go wrong with any of the sandwiches on their menu. The restaurant itself has a lot of old memorabilia hanging everywhere on the wall and virtually everything in the place is antique, from the tables to the pressed tin ceiling, to the tiles on the floor, although the building itself is not very old. read more

I've never had the stellar experience so many claim to have had here. Food is ok, nothing special. Too expensive for mediocre food. Had the oysters once, and they were so hard and overcooked they weren't edible. The sandwiches are fairly good most of the time. This is just one of those places that seem much better than they actually are, because folks here are used to worse. It's where the rich people in town go for lunch, so....meh. read more
