Kimmie was a wonderful server! Friendly, kind, attentive, and warm. Food was yummy! Good country breakfast and coffee
Hands down the best spot in Starkville to get breakfast. Loved the biscuits and gravy. The western inlet and the 2 egg platter was great as well. Wonderful service. We will be back!
Quaint and cozy little spot tucked in the downtown area of Starkvegas!! It was a delightful brunch. We are looking forward to catching dinner there one day!
We were driving through the state and stopped here because of their Google reviews. It was obviously a local place with a strong love for the Bulldogs. It was busy when we came in on a Sunday afternoon after church. I would recommend stopping by Starkville Cafe.
Love love love this place!! The vibes are so homey and the staff are the sweetest! Kimmie was our waitress, and let me tell you, she was fabulous! There was never a minute we weren’t taken care of, and she was so so kind!
Stopped in for breakfast passing through the area on a trip. Friendly staff and good food. Nice small town feeling. Food was delivered fast.
This place is the best place for Mon-Sun 6AM-2PM Thurs & Fri diner 4PM-8:30PM Great service, great food, and great atmosphere. Usually packed house, so don’t let a little wait keep you from experiencing southern hospitality at its finest. Kimmie was my server at my most recent trip in, she was very attentive and made sure I had the best dining experience possible. From observing all the other servers they are also as incredible. Thank you Starkville Cafe and thank you Kimmie! Only place I’ll eat breakfast in lunch while in town.
Classic diner breakfast and lunch. Food is good but I wouldn't call it outstanding. Just like homemade comfort food. Great atmosphere not many like this around anymore.
Starkville Cafe is a staple around here! Great breakfast with large servings and friendly smiles every time I come. Everything is made to order and comes out hot and fresh. The omelets and eggs are always cooked just right. The pork chop, gravy and chicken fried steak are always great!
Really enjoyed our meal here. Started with our sweet server Abby who took care of us. I had the blue plate special. 1 meat and 2 sides. There were 4 meat choices and around 8 choices for sides. I went with the smothered pork chop with greens, scalloped potatoes and a buttered yeast roll. Also comes with water or tea for $12. My son, wife and mother-in-law had the Hungry Man Breakfast which came with 2 eggs, a pancake, grits or hash browns and the choice of bacon, sausage or ham for $12. When you come ask to try the "duck butter" my son loved it! Would definitely return to this restaurant!
