Harvey's: Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
Small_World Says: Absolutely no atmosphere from the outside (it is located in a shopping center), Harvey's more than makes up for it on the inside, which is nice, quiet, and dark.The food is nice, too. This is the best place to eat in Starkville. I had the lemon pepper chicken. Tender and...
City Bagel Cafe: City Bagel Cafe
Prionus68 Says: Due to the small, southern town nature of Starkville, City Bagel Cafe almost seems out of place. Drive across Mississippi and you will see a Barbeque place on every block. City Bagel Cafe is someplace you would expect in a larger city. Very clean and excellent...

amelia3 Says: This is real southern food! Try some grits along with breakfast. Order a combination plate for lunch. Don't be supprised if a waitress calls you 'darlin'. This is their way of being friendly. :)

It is a college hangout with live entertainment. They also provide a free shuttle(zebra bus) for those who have had a little too much fun.

When I was a little girl, I used to dread visits to my aunt's house, which was near the J.M. Stone Cotton Mill. I loved my aunt, but I didn't love the loud whistle from the mill that blew every day at noon. I could tell instinctively when it was about to blow (I was too young to tell time), and I would beg my mom to take me away from there before I ultimately had to run to her lap and bury my head there with my hands over my ears. Not my favorite memory. I'm sure my mom had worse memories of the place, as she worked there as a teenager for only a few cents a day.
Lots of history within this building, not much of it pleasant to hear about. Long hours, little pay, pitiful conditions. The mill shut down around 1965 and became known as the Cooley Building, serving as the physical plant for Mississippi State University. The Cooley Building was erected in 1902 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Starkville is considering the Cooley Building and its 12 surrounding acres as the location for a local conference center combined with a cultural or arts complex.
I'd like that, I think. I was always disappointed seeing that historic building being "emasculated" as a physical plant. But not so disappointed that I'm not glad the whistle no longer blows.
