    Espresso martini
    Aaron A.

    While visiting State, we decided to try the Central Station Grill. The service was incredible. It was the best experience we have had in Starkville! Lamonte, our server, knew the menu and specials well and handled our party of 6 without any issues. We had a wide array of entrees, and the fried cheese appetizer was awesome. There was a great selection of bourbons and seasonal specialty drinks that were expertly crafted. There was plenty of parking, and the interior was super clean and nicely decorated. There was a mix of tables, booths, and a bar area with TVs. I highly recommend stopping in!

    Corrected receipt- which we should not have to pay anything because we left our entire meals. Roach crawling up behind us on the wall.

    We visited today for our second time. The first visit my family of 6 went to the Grill and we all ordered but they left off one of our orders of chicken tenders and didn't bring them until everyone had finished their meal. Today we went back to give them another chance and they failed. Once we got the meal, we seen a large pregnant roach on the wall behind our heads. I instantly felt sick. My husband went and got the server which brought the manager. All stopped eating and stood up away from the table. Most of our dinners were still plated. The manager said she called the GM and they instructed her to complete the appetizer which was not a satisfying resolution. We told her to go back to the GM and let them know we unable to continue eating. She came back and told us that she would comp 50% @ 88.07. We gave her 112.00. I then requested the receipt to see the charges and once it was reviewed I told her the charges were not correct. The correct amount is attached 49.99. In conclusion we did not get to ear our meal, subjected to roaches in the restaurant and deceived by the manager for price of meal. Terribly experince!

    I've grown up coming to eat at this place for a long time and it's still just as good as it was then. The fried cheese is so good - I like the pepper jack ones better than the mozzarella because it's creamier. Served with ranch or marinara sauce. My other favorite thing to order is the steak skewers. You can get them as an appetizer with fries or you can get them as an entrée. The app comes with two and the entrée comes with four. They also heat up really well if you end up taking some home. Another thing that I really like is the spring rolls, but I didn't order those this time. I haven't explored their cocktail menu, but my brother did get some type of chocolatey drink that was really good. All in all, this place is consistent at least for the past 10+ years it has been. two things I noticed that aren't on the menu anymore is the soup and the Ahi tuna salad :(( I understand things changed though, but I did love those items as well. Service is always pretty decent and they have TVs that play sports, which is nice.

    Spring Rolls  Starter  The BEST I've ever eaten !  Very filling , lots of substance yet light

    Three simple words - grilled chicken salad! They marinate their chicken and chargrill it so deliciously! Whenever I'm in Starkville, I tell myself I'm going to try something new here but this is the salad I dream about until my next trip. Add an order of fries and I'm a happy Alabama girl!

    Mother's Day Halibut special!

    Went on Mothers Day and still had speedy service! The restaurant has a great atmosphere. Food and drinks were incredible!

    I really enjoyed the food here. The price is worth the quality of the food you get. As an Asian, I was worried that I might find the food bland but honestly, everything was good and well seasoned! I surprisingly enjoyed their spring rolls. I definitely recommend their steaks!

    I had the fettuccine alfredo and it was creamy without being too heavy. The pasta was cooked perfectly, just the right amount of bite. I added grilled chicken and it paired well with the sauce. The garlic bread on the side was warm and buttery. Cozy spot with chill vibes and attentive staff.

    I like the variety, they have blackened catfish and fried. They have items for kids and sweet…read morepotatoe and waffle fries. I asked if the catfish was gluten free, because at of places with use corn flour. They couldn't give me an answer so I went with the blackened fish. The greens were very bland and the fries were undercooked. I would give them a shot.

    We stopped in for lunch while in town for MSU student orientation. This is a local well known…read moreestablishment and there were many locals inside. The parking can be interesting and the signage is very confusing because it says permit parking...we weren't sure if that was for patrons or not. When you enter the establishment, you are overwhelmed with signage asking you to make sure and close the door and various other signs. With that being said, we did not see the sign that said they were out of all drinks with the exception of tea. It would have been nice to be told that when we ordered a soft drink You order as soon as you walk in and then they bring the food to the table. This is a little overwhelming as you can not see the menu until your turn to place the order and with the line forming behind you, that can be stressful. The food is decent, but nothing spectacular. My son had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and enjoyed it. My husband had the 2 piece catfish platter and while he enjoyed it, it wasn't the best he has ever had. He said he would probably try something else if we come back. I had the pulled pork grilled cheese with onion rings and I really enjoyed my meal. There was a good amount of pulled pork with some yummy pimento cheese and it was toasted perfectly. The onion rings had a nice light batter, but were served perfectly crisp. I would definitely order my meal again if we come back and the portion was so large that my husband and I thought we could definitely split it. Overall, not the best meal we had in Starkville, but we would come back if others wanted to give it a try.

    Came here with my son-in-law after the egg bowl…read more We were able to be seated immediately in the back area booths near the beer wall. I decided to try the Red Beans and Rice (red beans marinated for 24 hours, simmered with sausage, ribeye, and vegetables, and served over rice). While the ribeye added to the traditional dish, I was not a fan of the overall end result. It actually seemed like the whole dish had been cooked for 24 hours until there was almost no moisture left. The rice part was fine. My son-in-law decided to try the fried catfish I had been considering. While cooked well and had good flavor, the batter was not the expected cornmeal style normally associated with fried catfish. They were also out of the particular beer he had been wanting to try. After multiple attempts to pick one from the menu, the server said it might be easier to show you what we do have on tap. Service on this visit also left a lot to be desired. From the delay taking the order, having to flag a server down for drink refills and even to get the check. It was not busy enough to cause the service we received. We had been before with my daughter and wife and had a much better experience. So I am not sure if things have gone downhill or just an anomaly. The burger I had on the previous visit was very good and the Rosey Chips (house made potato chips) were pretty good too. My daughter is a big fan of their fried pickles appetizer. Will. Give them another shot, yes but there are plenty of other options we will likely go to first.

    I hadn't been there since the mid-90s. It was ok but not special at all and I likely wouldn't go…read moreback until about 30 more years. The food was not bad and the service was not bad. Nothing was amazing at all though.
