We arrived at lunch (1PM) on a busy Saturday and were greeted by a somewhat frazzled server who offered 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. read more

I'd like to write another review because I forgot to the last time I ate here. I gave the steak another chance and I have no complaints. I ate here at least 15 times since the first review and became my go to date night with my lady. I'd like to say I love the environment and good beer. Food is also berry good shouldvehave wrote a review on my first time visiting there. 5 stars! read more

That was actually the first time I've been inside! Picked up dry rubbed wings, fries and all the good stuff! Service was great and the ambience was as well! Give it a try! The wings were fantastic! read more

Good food and great service! The chopped brisket sandwich was delicious!! I will try their burger next time. It looked

Husband's favorite for meeting his friends. They have a great Ruben Sandwich. They are sometimes out of things on Monday

The service was good! I got the Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich with Chips! It was good! The ambiance was good too!

Our waitress Sarah was great! This place has the best ranch everrrrr and you MUST get those cheese curds.

I was in Starkville for a day trip with my husband and we went to The camp house for lunch . I had the black and blue salad and my husband had the Reuben. The salad was suppose to come with blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dressing but on this day they were out of the crumbles so I got the feta cheese instead. It was a happy accident I guess because the feta just gave the salad a layer of saltiness and richness that blue cheese wouldn't have given it. I also think it would have been too much blue cheese with the crumbles on it also. The thinly sliced sirloin on the salad was smoked and amazing best salad I have eaten in along time. The Reuben was amazing also . The sandwich was piled high with their smoked corn-beef. The food was hot and fresh and definitely worth the money. The service was awesome our waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs. She was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. She was sweet and warm and helpful to our autistic son. The ambiance of this place was fun and very welcoming and bright . The tables look like they belong in a long cabin there were tv's on the wall it just had an overall cozy feel. read more

Have been looking forward to trying this for a while. Seating is somewhat limited and our party of 3 ended up at a high top table designed for at least 6. Order was taken after a short wait. Not too long but an indication of what to expect as the meal progressed. I decided on the Camphouse Burger and Fries & my vegetarian daughter chose the build your own Mac and Cheese option with Bowtie Pasta, Smoked Gouda, Mushrooms & Tomato. Dad also went with the Burger and Fries. After a much longer wait than anticipated the food arrived. The burger was cooked appropriately Medium as requested. Overall. It was "Just OK". The Mac & Cheese was not very cheesy tasting. (This was daughters 3rd time trying various combinations and other options was just as disappointing on the cheese level). In addition to the slow service, the table was near the outdoor seating access door and every time the door opened a heavy overwhelming secondhand smoke settled over us. Overall a disappointing experience that we will be unlikely to return. Too many other options in the area. read more

There are much better places in Starkville, don't waste your time or money here. Normally I do not write bad reviews, but I wanted to share my experience here. The food takes an hour at best to prepare and the taste is mediocre...especially for the price. The best part about this was that they CHARGE YOU FOR WATER. Tap water! Too many other great options around town than to go here again... read more

For me the chicken Alfredo was amazing. I loved everything about it. My grandmother got the catfish tacos and the tortillas tasted and felt like rubber. It was very dry and tasted old.My cousin got the smash house and it was absolutely disgusting. It tasted like straight onion and was burnt. I only recommend the Alfredo. The service is slow too. THEY CHARGE YOU FOR WATER. THE WATER LITERALLY COMES IN A CUP. WHAT read more

First day in Starkville on business and this was the way to kick it off! Self-seating indoor and out with very nice college town ambiance. Someone at the table ordered the Nachos and they were great! Heaps of fresh toppings with warm crisp chips. I ordered the patty melt and I have to say I would be hard pressed to name a better sandwich I have had in recent memory. Thick juicy patty on marble rye with sloppy gooey melts cheese. Light peppery flavor and the cheese was soooo good! It came with standard fare French Fries that were a little bland. You know when you overcook fries and they are really just a hollow potato stick. Yeah...that. My cohorts had the Reuben which was almost too good looking to eat, mac-n-cheese was really good but don't get the spicy..everything tastes like Cajun seasoning now. Overall I am pretty sure this is going to be my go to lunch joint when I am in the area. read more

The Camphouse - Patty Melt - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Wouldn't recommend. Ordered our meals and mine was messed up. Manager came by to correct and it came back messed up again. My partner was already done with his meal by the the time my food came out for the third time. When the bill was brought, my card was taken before I could even look at the ticket. When I reviewed the ticket, I was still charged full price even though they had messed it up multiple times. When I asked the server and the manager, I was told that yea, they admit that they messed it up but food eaten was good paid for - so it didn't matter. Didn't finish my food - we had been sitting there for so long as it was and I was going to take it home but after the interaction with the manager, there was no point. Also good to mention - I've worked in the food service industry for about 20 years and would never talk to customers that way. Seriously disappointing. read more

Without being paranoid, The Camphouse is being Pandemic Conscious. Their service was excellent, only being outdone by their food. I usually have some 57 on standby, and it wasn't needed. The ribeye I had was of too quality, perfectly cooked, and topped with Worcestershire infused butter. The accompanying potato smash could have been a meal by itself. If you haven't been to The Camphouse, go! You will not be disappointed. read more

Great service, drinks and food! Redfish is good. Shrimp fettuccine is good. I'm sure it all is! We will continue to come here!

The Camphouse is the sweetest hole in the wall in downtown Starkville - great food, great service! Anyone will tell you that their customizable mac-n-cheese is a fan favorite (I recommend gouda + chicken with spinach!), but their burgers, sandwiches, and meats are all to die for! Can't go wrong eating here! read more

The brisket sandwich is the most flavorful, mouthwatering sandwich you will ever put in your mouth. The Smoked chicken sandwich is absolutely delicious! The Camphouse burger smells too much like raw meat, in my opinion. The Bloody Mary's with Tito's are very good. This is a great choice for lunch or dinner. read more

The adult food was great! We had the carbonara and the seafood grits. Couldn't be happier with those selections. The kids had frozen chicken nuggets, which is normal. But they charged a full price for kids drinks. Service was not good. For a mostly empty restaurant, our server rarely checked on us, which meant empty drinks. And she forgot my salad. When my meal came, I asked for the salad, which she rushed out. But it had things on the salad if asked them to leave off. TLDR: Food: great Service: below average For families: no read more

Pretty good meal for the late hour. Blackened redfish was really good and I liked the Cajun fries. Wish they had some more diabetic friendly side options. Crowd made it feel more like a bar than a restaurant. With a little work on the atmosphere, this could be a top notch place. Could really use another server or two to make the service experience better. read more

This place is right located near the district and is in a cool building. From what I've heard, the people who run Starkville cafe also run this place, but I'm not 100% sure of that I went in and got a beer and a Rueben. With the Rueben I also got fries and a side salad. The Rueben was on a perfectly crisped bread, and came with homemade sauerkraut and thousand island. The corned beef was tender, and I really enjoyed this sandwich. The fries were cooked perfectly, and they give you a big helping. It was enough for me to share with a friend of mine. The salad was tossed perfectly in the dressing, and the lettuce was fresh. This place is perfect to stop in for sandwiches, pastas, and seafood. They also have a huge beer selection, and a sizeable wine selection. They also do mixed drinks for people who are into those. I would eat here again. It's pretty good and at a fair price. read more

This was a very disappointing experience. We were seated quickly and got drinks quickly as well. That is where the good ends. We waited for 40 minutes and the waitress did not even take our order. The fact that the food is overpriced and a la carte makes this place more of a bar than a restaurant. No quality of food can make up for this type of service. read more

Not really what I expected with a name called the "Camphouse"... over priced menu and extremely high drink prices... however happy hour can get you a shot of fireball for $3.00 damn hard earned American dollars from 3 to 6 p.m. ordered crab cakes and chicken wings got salt and more salt. I left with wrinkles and feel like I was preserved for long keeping. I have a thirst for water I've never felt til now. If you wanna get drunk and eat some bar food keep driving otherwise you'll have high blood pressure from the sodium injection you took at the door and you'll be selling your body for sex to pay the rent bc The Camphouse took it from yo ass!! read more

An older man , wearing shorts was sitting across from my wife and her friends during lunch and was intentionally and entirely exposing his genitals and rubbing himself. The manager did not make him leave and made excuses for him because "I know him",he goes to church" , upon the man leaving he rubbed himself against my wife's back. Good thing I was not there during this. This occurred 3/25/23 at apporoxinateky 12:40 pm. read more

I felt extremely uncomfortable going there. There's was no regard for social distancing. The patrons were walking around without masks on. The kitchen staff, who were preparing the meals, also did not have masks on. Not to mention the fact that there was a hair on my sandwich, which they did make me another, however it was not compensated. So crowded that I would feel uncomfortable going's there even without COVID. read more

I was born in this town 58 years ago. And now pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant with a great selection of beers on tap. My dish of the Cajun seafood grits was delicious, although the grits were not quantity sufficient. To the point that I had to order more plain grits. This being said, there was an ample amt of shrimp and crawfish! My friend got the Reuben with house made sauerkraut which was super yummy. Nice ambiance. Slow service for a nearly empty restaurant but still a nice lunch! read more

Honestly I've only been a hand full of times as I'm a usual regular at Ricks Cafe and must say I really enjoy this bar and grill. The drinks are priced right, service is fantastic and the atmosphere is one of the best in Starkville. Restrooms are clean, dining area is clean. Only negative I can think of here is the cost of food on the menu. If it was little lower $$ for food I think this place would be slammed packed every single day. read more
