One of the best shrimp and grits I have eaten, next to the one from Flavor Rich in Suwanee, GA. I grew up in Brooksville, MS, and I go there about 3 times a year.

Huck's is a restaurant I genuinely enjoy. The pork chops and steaks are excellent, and I've had…read moresome really good meals there. My only complaint with the food is that the sauces can be a little overwhelming for my taste, so I usually request them on the side. I've always loved the majority of the staff and have had great experiences with them. Unfortunately, my experience at the bar last night was very different. I sat at the bar, ordered a water, and was given a menu. About 15 minutes later, the bartender asked if I wanted something else to drink, but never asked if I wanted to order food. A gentleman sat down to my left after I had already been there for quite a while. I watched him order a cocktail, order his food, eat his entire meal, and still hadn't been asked if I wanted anything to eat. I'm not one to complain, but that level of inattentiveness was hard to overlook. I'll definitely continue to give Huck's a chance because I enjoy the food and most of the staff, but I hope the bar service was just an off night.

While the exterior might appear somewhat modest, stepping inside reveals an extraordinary venue that is simply marvelous in every respect. Their bar program is remarkable, boasting a splendid selection of fine wines and premium spirits. Upon arrival, I was greeted with immense warmth and charm by Kelly, who provided initial priority and ensured I was seated in a delightfully private area. Her hospitality throughout the evening was exceptionally gracious and attentive. To begin, I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which arrived with impressive speed brilliantly crafted, balanced, and thoroughly refreshing. For my evening selection, I chose the Crawfish Pimento Cheese Dip served with crisp dry bread. It was an absolute culinary masterpiece! The flavor profile was rich, exquisitely seasoned, and completely addictive a total success in every bite. Harveys offers an unbeatable combination of top-tier service, a pristine atmosphere, and divine, memorable flavors. Five stars, without hesitation I shall most certainly be returning!

It was pretty crowded as expected on a weekend so I decided to just sit at the bar. The place itself was clean, nice, and obviously well kept. Some of the other reviews are what sparked my interest, and I can honestly say that I'm glad I showed up. I told the bartender it was my first time in and told her I was looking for a steak. The one she suggested had a small sweet marinade to it. I'm not really a sweet steak guy but I went with it.... and man was it really good. Cooked to perfection (medium rare) and tasted super fresh. The Mac and cheese was also solid, as was the sweet tea. Now... the chicken noodle soup: I loved it. Big soup here and although this soup was not "brothy" at all, it was thick and creamy, so good. Overall, I can't wait to go back to Starkville if it's on the schedule next spring because if it is, I know where I'll be returning for a meal.

Hi, ALEXUS KING here to tell you the pleasure of dining at Up Down Eatery in Columbus, MS, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience eating here since they open. The food was absolutely delicious - I ordered the so many great dishes here, and it was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich and bold, and the portion was generous. The service was top-notch! Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The ambience was cozy and inviting, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend Up Down Eatery to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Columbus Mississippi Hwy 45. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service, and pleasant ambience makes it a must-visit! 100/10 Recommend the best place for Brunch & Lunch! read more

The young woman who waited on me has only been here for a day and needed extra assistance, as we all do when we begin a new job, nevertheless she was super pleasant and was happy to find out any information that I asked of her. The ambience is more formal (dark, chic and modern) than the hippie independent coffee shop vibe that existed when the space was 929 coffee. Pricing is on par with Starkville (higher end of average), and there was a selection of baked goods and at least six different kinds of biscuits (classic, sausage/cheese, confetti, lemon-blueberry, peach-brown sugar, and orange-cranberry). YES, they serve lunch after 11AM (sandwiches and salads) , so I'll DEFINITElY be back to try them out and do an updated review. I'm met the owner, Matthew, who was like a hummingbird going to and fro troubleshooting, inquiring about satisfaction, and educating folks about their new coffee from Austin, Texas (Cuvee) which is smooth and delightful. He is super enthusiastic and was fun to chat with. I noted three BIG improvements: 1. the outside tile entry is finally leveled and fixed; 2. the bathroom faucets are upgraded - yay!!; and 3. the menu is now on a large TV screen on the wall and to the left of the register. This can be updated to notate when things are sold out and provide explanations for coffee options. The font size could be larger (maybe bold print?) for easier viewing. As with the former business I look forward to spending many more afternoons on the shaded front porch here people watching and reading . Ideas for improvements/future consideration: 1. mounted fans for warmer months to cool patrons on the porch and keep pesky flies away; and 2. mounted heaters to make outdoor seating more comfortable in much cooler months. I look forward to seeing what else Matthew will come up with (hoping he'll bring more freshly made breakfasts a la 929 style... sure do miss their food...) and wishing High Ground success. ** I didn't venture downstairs so cannot comment on the vibe there.

It's similar to Starbucks but they also serve breakfast and dinner food. I had breakfast here for two days and I'd get the Classic Oatmeal with a banana & candied walnuts for $5.50, which is decent. The oatmeal came in a large bowl and a good amount of walnuts, and I was pretty full after eating half of it. My parents had the omelette too and it was pretty good! You can substitute the potatoes to fruits for a healthier option and it comes with a side of an arugula salad. They also serve pastries like banana bread, croissant, muffins and more. See one of the pictures I took. It's usually not crowded and the seats are comfortable. I'd come back here to try their dinner!

Presentation/delivery: this was ordered several weeks in advance as a catering order to be picked up. I chose the specific salads, sweet treats, and crackers and chips. I understood that everything would be on a platter ready to lay out on the table for the meeting I was hosting. Sweet treats would be cut and arranged on a platter. I selected all of the specific items I wanted abd prepaid. Fast forward to pick up day. The order wasnt ready. When i showed up, staff was scrambling to put the order together. They pulled the salads that I ordered from the refrigerator, cut the sweet treats bars (although they didn't have any of the bars I ordered), and threw everything in bags. Not only I didn't get what i ordered, but it wasn't presented as expected. There was no point in ordering ahead--I still had to wait. Then I had to go to the office and arrange everything on serving platters. So completely frustrating. Outcome: will not return.

He was constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We started with the chips and queso. It was good, but nothing to write home about. Just your normal chips and queso. I had the catfish lagniappe and it was SUPERB! I loved the blackened catfish over the grits with the yummy crawfish sauce. The flavor combinations were on point and I throughly enjoyed every single bite! My husband had the Caribbean steak and really loved the flavor of the steak, but it was cooked a little more than the medium he asked for. The flavor made up for it though and he cleaned his plate. We both had the honey bacon brussel sprouts which were very tender and tasty as well. Pro tip, make sure to get all the yummy sauce that settles in the bottom.
