PLACES NOT TO VISIT IN STARKVILLE!!…read more As a out of towner, well traveled individualand YELP elite affiliate, I am highly offended!! So before you walk in there's 2 sercurity guards to check if your 21+ for me and my plus 2 (probably not really sercurity, just worker who are over 21). After glancing at my ID for 2 seconds he says that it's FAKE!! And that he's not giving my ID back. I asked him, "how is it fake?! He did not answer, he just continued to say my license was fake and that he was not returning it. My other friend who is from Georgia, showed his license and proclaimed his was fake as well, but our third friend who has a Mississippi license so happened to be real. He ended up giving my license back and said I'm Not welcome. Maybe because I asked for a manager. But this was handled very poorly. I am 30 years old as well as my friends. After analyzing the situation, the "security" really probably has never seen out of state license . Because typically, when Others look at my ID they assume I am young and just simply ask my birthday. He did not even do that. Simply ridiculous. I will never support this business. I hope everyone that's traveling from out of town takes heed Labor Day

If the walls could talk! This place was amazing. Their menu is covering all of the bases and then some! They have 2-3 different types of pizza along with all kinds of other great bar food! After minutes, Amber and I both agreed that this would be our place, if/when we were younger. Don't sleep on Dave's!

Cute lil Bar & Grill spot. Man I haven't been in Starkvegas…read moresince I left 18 years ago. The shuttle from GTR airport dropped us off nearby so we checked it out. Nothing wow'd me or was over the top. Just your regular bar and grill food. We did order a nacho with the chili and they forgot the chili. They ended up bringing us a cup of chili to pour on it. We just grabbed something to hold us over and that's what it did.

The fries weren't really my style -- a bit on the thin and crispy side, and I prefer fries with a little chew inside -- but that's just personal preference. My waitress was friendly and attentive, keeping my Dr Pepper topped off the whole time. Overall, a great visit with good service and a tasty burger. I only wish I'd snapped a photo before I devoured it!

You order, pay and tip all before being seated. I get this for take out but for dine in it's odd. Then you get your own drinks and refills. There were multiple people around the hostess desk just chatting but you do everything yourself. I would Have tipped more if they actually "waited" on the customers. The restaurant was very nice and the food was great, just wish they offered true wait staff for dine in.

The unmarked door in a back alley gives secret club vibes, and the underground basement aspect only adds to that. The pressed tin ceiling, antique mirrors, and decor provide an historic and upscale ambiance. The cocktail menu and spirit selection are extensive. We tried some of their original creations and they were balanced and beautifully presented without being fussy or pretentious. The servers were very friendly and attentive, and you could tell they truly liked their jobs. Our server shared some interesting history on the building, the bar, and the decor and furnishings. He also offered some brunch suggestions for the next day. We liked this place so much we returned later. They closed earlier than expected but we were offered the opportunity to order a drink to go, an unexpected but welcome option. This is a classy and upscale bar option in a college town where that isn't the norm.

Just as a foreword I've never been here for anything but the concerts and never tried the food. I…read morewent here strictly for the concerts Ricks is an awesome bar with not too high prices. The drink prices are average, but man do they pour it on. The drinks aren't skimpy on the liquor in them. They definitely have a heavy hand with the bottle, and that evens out the drink prices. This place has an old school honky tonk vibe that I love. There are old guitars from concerts on the wall. Neon beer signs on the wall. Large bar in the back of the venue. The bar tenders are usually slammed but always get your drinks decently fast. Security deals with the people who have had a little too much to drink pretty quick, and don't take any crap. If you act up, you're out. Fall asleep on the table, you're out. Puke on the floor, you're out. They keep the crowd under control, but aren't overbearing Buying a ticket online is easy, and you can even reserve a table. If you do reserve a table for a concert, it's a nice place to sit. The problem is people will usually stand in front of you blocking your views. Overall, great place for a concert. Will be back for the food.

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.
