    Fun colorful surfing Santa vibes, but dark lighting…read more Friendly service was up and moving, always checking in! Just really got some appetizers, but really happy with it all :)

    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.
