The Landing of Starkville

The atmosphere is perfect for a college crowd with games, a stage, 2 large bars, plenty of seating and the highlight of a rooftop bar overlooking the cotton district. The service was bad from the start. We ordered the chips and queso for an appetizer which came out with our food vs before. The queso was cold and the chips a poor quality and we questioned why they bothered to include the tablespoon of salsa. I ordered a roast beef sandwich which sounded great on the menu but came out with questionable roast beef deli slices and a glob of something that was supposed to be gravy. It was cold and inedible. I would have sent it back but our server was MIA until the rest of my table had already finished. My husband ordered the Italian sandwich and said it was meh. The kids ate the pizza but al

I came in a couple weeks ago and had Sarah Beth as our server. She was FANTASTIC and her attitude just made our experience better. I see other poor service reviews but that wasn’t the experience we had. After we ate we went to sit at the bar and the bartenders were equally nice, observant, and helpful even when they were busy. This bar gets busy like no other bar in the district due to its size alone. The Landing is the place to be on game days and weekend nights from my experience. The atmosphere is electric and Starkville needed a place like this. On the weekends they have chill live music upstairs and live DJ downstairs depending on the mood you’re in. I really like the variety they offer in that regard, no other place in the district offers what they do. Music selection, square footage

It has great potential, but as several others have pointed out, the food and service are subpar. I was there on a game day, and they ran out of half of their food by one o’clock. Bartender was extremely rude. Repeatedly ignored while he served his friends buckets of beer. When I finally got served, I asked for a bucket and he said “I’m not doing buckets. It takes way too long” in a rude tone after I saw him do 3 buckets right before I ordered. Bartenders and servers seem overwhelmed the entire time, and obviously have not been prepared/trained for their jobs. Most of them are inexperienced and rude. I understand that will happen to a degree, as most of them are college students, but it’s worse than the other bars around town with the same age staff. The food is concession stand quality if

Sara Beth was the best waitress, she was so attentive to our table even on an extremely busy night. The atmosphere at The Landing was great and Sara Beth made it so much better.

I recently moved to Starkville from Texas, and have really enjoyed visiting your bar a few times since arriving. Unfortunately, my experience tonight was very disappointing and concerning. I recognize that this was one of the first weekends with undergraduates back in town, and I understand how demanding that can be for staff. However, the service I received from one of the female bartenders was unacceptable. My friend and I waited over 30 minutes at the bar, yet during that time she repeatedly ignored us and served only the men around us including those who had arrived well after we did. When she finally acknowledged us, she began to take our order but immediately dismissed us once our male friend clarified we were not on his tab, then continued to ignore us until the bar slowed down.
