Found this little gem right down from the hotel I was staying at in Starkville while out on business. It's got an Outback vibe, but more local and down home. Sat at the bar which was showing some local sports games and everyone was balls deep into MS State winning or losing. I sat in the bar area, which was laid out very well. I ordered the filet, which pretty damn good. The only downer was that the "sides" would be big enough for a 5 year old. I mean, there's no point in ordering sides. Just get another fiet and you get full. My buddy had the mozzarella sticks and they were pretty damn good. The batter was italian seasoned. Overall this was a good place to wind down and enjoy a nice meal and a pint after a long day on the road. Seeing as how there's nothing much to Starkville, this was sweet find. read more

Great food, very allergy friendly! I'm gluten free and they are very helpful and willing to please. My only complaint ever is slow service!

Eaten here twice...with pretty much a year in between....really liked it both times... Second time was in June 2012...Man, I am negligent on my review sometimes!!! Sat in the bar at a nice little 2 person booth...ordered the steak and foudn it cooked to my liking (medium Rare) and tasty...beer was cold and the service was great.... Perused some of the other reviews before crafting mine due to my obvious procrastinating ways...All I know is I like this place and in my 2 visits have not been disappointed...wish I knew Starkville better overall but when I'm in town I will hit this place for at least one meal...Count on it!!! read more

Great service and restaurant setting. Food was great as well. Went here for a birthday dinner with a significant other and was delivered phenomenal service from our waitress as well as they went out of their way to deliver a free dessert for her special day. read more

Food was fantastic and the customer service was even better! Highly recommend to any travelers to Starkville as one of the premier restaurants in town! read more

Harvey's always does a great job. It's a solid choice for a romantic dinner for two, a family, or a large party. My favs are the mozzarella sticks & mushrooms for appetizers and the black & blue salad for the main. read more

Harvey's is a great all-around restaurant. I grew up eating here and it has never gotten old. The chicken fingers, down-home burger and fried mushrooms have been favs of my family's for as long as I can remember. The marinated tuna is also good. The atmosphere is what I would describe as semi-casual - although I think that's a description for a dress code. Whatever. Basically you can eat here for casual dining or nicer events. It would be a good place for a family meal or a casual date. read more

I hate to give bad reviews, but after multiple bad experiences, I think it is warranted. I will also say, I used to really like this restaurant and I dont know what has happened. Once recently I ordered take out. The Cheese Sticks were almost raw on the outside (not crunchy breading at all) and the inside was so over cooked that all of the cheese had completely run out of the stick and pooled in the basket. I was shocked they would even serve it was so bad. The rest of the order was completely wrong and I did not eat it. Dining in a few months ago, our food was edible and ok at best. The rolls are yummy...but deep fried anything usually is. Except the cheese sticks. I hope they get back to the good food I used to find there. Edit 7/16 Gave them another shot last week...had the blackened salmon and cheese grits and I must say it was great. Fried mushroom were great too...cheese sticks still disappointing, but I think The Grill has ruined them for anyone else to compare to. Regardless, I enjoyed the meal and service was great. read more

I came here on a Saturday night after a Mississippi state game. I walked in at 9:10 ( they close at 10) she told me there was a 15-20 minute wait and I told her that was fine. I made sure that if it was after 10 before they got us in there that we would still be seated and she told me yes. When I finally walked back into the restaurant after 40 minutes of waiting she told me they were closed and not seating anyone else. They were extremely rude about it after I was assured that we would be able to eat there. read more

Waiter was awesome, but sadly food was not. In town for business and my husband and I were wanting Prime Rib. Wait wasn't long at all, but Prime Rib was cold and vegetable kabob was a joke. Vegetables were cold and only 5 pieces sliced as thin as pepperoni slices. Would not recommend. read more

Great food and atmosphere. I've never been disappointed by this restaurant or the service. Friendly tentative staff, and the NY strip is delicious and tender. The mac n cheese is also very very tasty. The salads are good as well and I love the freshly cracked black pepper they bring out! read more

Excellent variety on the menu, excellent execution of the food, excellent service from the moment we hit the door until our departure. Portions are very generous so plan on sharing. We tried the broccoli appetizers and it was delicious followed by a clean crisp salad. Saw some of today's specials walk by and definitely had plate envy. Of you have a "I don't know" or "I don't care" in your party go here there is something for everyone. PS the ambiance and decor is spot on. read more

Fantastic experience at Harvey's in Starkville tonight. Started with broccoli bites followed by a crisp Caesar salad with warm cheese bread. Shrimp and grits was outstanding. Hubby had the filet which was cooked to perfection over a mesquite fire. Lastly, the bread pudding was amazing. Service was great and food was so good. Got there very early cause they don't take reservations on a game weekend read more

Nice place for dinner. Their mozzarella sticks have good cheese and breading, seem to be made in house. Their steaks are good. For the ribeye I prefer the traditional one to the one they feature, as the one on the menu is too sweet for me. Their service is good and your cup is always filled. read more

Harvey's is one of my favorite restaurants if not my very favorite which is why it pains me to write this review. While the food is great, the service the past couple of times I've been has been terrible which is why I'm giving them two stars. My servers never came by my table. When they brought our food out it was cold, like it had been sitting on the counter for a while without anyone picking it up. Last time I tried to eat at Harvey's we had joined the waitlist at around 5:00 to be sat by 6:00. We were told to arrive between 5:45 and 6:00. When we arrived the hostess told us the wait would an additional 45 minute to one hour wait. We were told that the app we used to join the waitlist wasn't reliable and we should have just called and made a reservation. I have two problems with this. The first is that if you know the app is unreliable, why do you continue to use it. Second, I have called Harvey's specifically several times to make a reservation and have been told every single time that they don't take reservations. In conclusion, the only thing from keeping me from giving Harvey's is the fact that their food is great. However, their terrible service and inconsistent, apathetic management is why they are receiving two stars. Do not go to Harvey's unless you want to put up with awful service. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. read more

Chef Carnell created a tasty shrimp Alfredo dish containing spinach, tiger shrimp, mushrooms, and artichoke. Enjoyed the service...especially the meal. read more

Harveys - Shrimp alfredo with satueed citrus spinach, mushrooms, and artichoke - Chef Carnell is wonderful. - Steakhouses Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Second time in town and second time eating there. The NY Strip was delicious. Would love to see a sirloin steak offered as I like a lean piece of meat with no fat. Still, service is always good and the food is great also. read more

I loved this place. I went with my teenage son for dinner, and we both had the salmon, which was so flavorful. It's his favorite dish. After I dropped him off with his dad, I stopped in the bar to kill some time. Our servers were Brennan and John, and I want to take them back home with me (but I think everyone in Mississippi is incredibly friendly). I'll definitely go back to this place the next time I'm in StarkVegas. read more

Harveys - Loved the cowbell lighting! - Steakhouses Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Harvey's is always one of my favorite places to eat!! They never disappoint. Excellent quality and good service. Food tastes great!!!

Love Harveys in Starkville. Yesterday, I ordered the blackened catfish. Oh my, it was amazing! It is hands down the best catfish and grits I have ever had. Cooked to perfection with wonderful service. I need to try the crawfish dip next time I visit. read more

I would give a 5 star but lately Harvey's has gone downhill. While the service and bartenders are excellent the management has made to many changes to its menu. Especially to its happy hour. It's more like sad hour when you go by Harvey's now. read more

I've been here on multiple occasions for dinner. The broccoli bites are delicious. I've had their ribeye twice, but the first time it was a bit cold and the waiter suggested taking it back to microwave it (certainly an interesting method to describe to a customer). My friends have enjoyed their prime rib, tenderloin kabobs and baby back ribs. Overall good experiences and nice atmosphere. read more

See all

Always a solid meal here! Always get the fried cheese appetizer, it is homemade and it's not just plain fried cheese sticks like some places do. The linguine Alfredo with chicken and shrimp is what I get most of the time. I am a big stickler on Olive Garden Alfredo pasta but this is on par with it. Service is amazing, and the atmosphere is perfect for date nights. We eat here as often as possible! read more

Had my wedding reception diner at their private room ... everything was great! Great food great service

It's like a local owned Applebee's. nothing spectacular. Like that its local owned. Had the fish of day. Was over seasoned and not cooked properly. Salad was wilted and smelled. Like it had been sitting for some time. Device was just ok. Not a lot of attention for how slow it was. read more

Lemon Pepper Chicken was the absolute best. We had a party of seven and with it being so busy we had amazing service and delicious food!!!

We visited Harvey's today 4/29/21 for graduation dinner. We really didn't mind the long wait but the food was a total disappointment. Every thing was plain with no taste. read more

Harvey's is our go to for business lunches and at least once a month for a night out. You can't beat the service, they are helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and alcohol selection. My personal favorite for lunch is the prime rib sandwich or steak and wedge, both are exceptional. For supper, I'm a steak guy and they have a ribeye that is hard to beat. If you need a quick lunch with loads of flavor, or a fun evening in a great atmosphere Harvey's is for you. read more

As a Starkville native, I have grown up eating at Harvey's. We have celebrated many special events there- great atmosphere! My very favorite app is the broccoli bites, blue plate is Friday catfish, and favorite entree is the Delta Chicken. Love their season cocktails too! read more

Oh yeah: service, quality, presentation and diversity of the menu are all reasons that you should visit Harveys. This is a class of its own in the Starkville area but you never feel out of place - which can be hard to do when you're presenting a higher quality of ambiance/service/food. Don't hesitate to impress yourself and guests with a trip to Harveys! read more

Taylor was our server and she was SO SWEET! It was my friend's birthday and they gave her a cheesecake for free AND a birthday card!

Good food, fun energy and EXCELLENT service. Timothy was prompt, personable and outstanding!

Late lunch at 2:00 pm was sad. Food was cold and reheated and still cold. Didn't have the heart to keep complaining. I mean refrigerated cold! Ordered desert and it was colder than the scoop of ice cream served with it. I personally think their oven or microwave was not working properly. Appetizer served was greasy and resembled food fried in old grease. I've always loved this restaurant but will be a while before thinking about eating there anytime soon. read more

Ambience was nice but the food was terrible. Pasta dish wasn't good at all. This place is the best version of taking terrible food and making it expensive. When leaving the manager had every excuse in the book loaded with smart remarks. Won't be spending money here ever again. read more

Pathetic, simply pathetic. The menu options for a reservation (group of 16) was awful, Go Check a broke student's College dorm fridge I can assure you there's more food options in there. thirty bucks for some lemon pepper chicken cooked over a grease fire or burning tires I'm not completely sure. But it was definitely not worth it. I tried so hard to make the food taste good for the price, it just didn't. This one of the very few places on earth your grandma would commit arson. In all honesty, I've never been to a Harvey's this bad. Three menu options? really? Harvey's in Starkville, MS, for the love of decent food get your s**t together! Just because I'm writing this review doesn't mean I'm coming back and hoping for better food, I wrote this review in hopes that maybe someone willing to spend thirty to forty dollars on a single plate spends their money elsewhere. Perhaps you'll have better luck with Taco Bell. Harvey's, may God have mercy on your soul and business if Gordon Ramsay walks in. read more

Very good service, great fillet, great appetizers. Overall experience 5 stars and the atmosphere is great read more

Harveys - Steakhouses Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

June 9, 2021. 6:pm Went here for my husband's birthday. Salad lettuce was brown. We ordered the ribeye steaks and they had so much fat on them we couldn't eat them plus they claim they are 12oz. Steaks but no way. The waitress had an attitude right off the bat. We ordered our drinks but took forever to return. The hostess finally looked over at us and asked if we had been waited on. He was very kind. The manager also had an attitude. We came in here to eat together but because they got my husbands steak wrong I ate alone. I have been here many times throughout the years but this place has gone way down in their service and food. And the only one who apologize to us was the hostess. The manager and waitress could of cared less. A warning to all the Fighting Irish fans who are coming into town for the super regional. I pray you don't have the experience we had. This is my last time I will ever go to Harvey's not that they care. read more

Harvey's in Starkville has my heart!!! So many family events shared at this restaurant..from our Children's Baby Showers, to our annual Birthday Dinner at Harvey's for our kids..12 years running!! We have Triplets + 1 and they are ALWAYS welcoming of our large family!! Also my favorite place to take a client for lunch! Love a good booth! read more

After a long drive from Texas to God's country I was famished. My daughters and I stopped in--I don't think I've been to Harvey's in years--for a quick bite before checking into the hotel. I ordered the shrimp & grits and a local crossroads brewery brew. I was so tired I don't remember the girls' order. Anyway the meal came and it was the most satisfying and unique recipe--a dark roux over the grits--perfect. My girls were pleased with their meal as well. The GM came by checked on us without intruding. A perfect homecoming to Starkvegas and I can't wait to return. read more

Atmosphere was nice not too noisy, apps were great, and the mains were good for five out of the six served. Blackened catfish arrive blackened on one side and raw on the other, for me the cheesy grits wee cold, order desert and did not get it as they kept saying it was coming out. How hard is to make bread pudding! Bottom line they need a faster cooking staff along with someone who knows how to cook fish! , read more
