      Food is garbage. Drinks are bottom of the barrel. My waitress brought the bread out after we finished our food LOL. She also tried to persuade me that my food and drink was actually good even though I thought it was terrible.

      Always a great place to eat and have drinks! Started is starters. The service is always on point. The ambiance is a sports bar!

      They also open late!!

      The Restaurant is nice and open, plenty off room for a large or smaller crowd. Today is Wednesday, kinda slow.

      I would never come back here. Horrible food. Our waiter was good. Drink was good I had the "super man". "Mr. ChimeTime" was right. Who ever is in the back cooking should probably hang it up. Kayla B nice job! Keep up the good work!

      Service and food quality has went down drastically. No matter which location I visit post Covid I leave disappointed and yet I still hoping to have the original great service ambience and food. At this point feels like a waste of time and money!!! Dear Starter"s Bar and Grill owner please go back to what made you a great establishment from the beginning or just give it up

      This has always been a cool spot for us. Not sure why the low number of stars. The drinks are always stronger than you expect. The ladies are friendly at the door and waitressing. My food was good, we had the large appetizer sampler, Fried to perfection. The grilled red snapper with sweet potato fries n broccoli. N a side of tender lamb chops with a tasty creamy,au jus dipping sauce. My snapper was tasty slightly overcooked but delicious. My waitress noticed I didn't have my broccoli before I even noticed. Music on point, old n new. A great vibe all the way around. I'll definitely be back

      I DO enjoy these lamb chops! Great price! The atmosphere is very me!(Love my Black people) The restaurant is usually cleanish. HOWEVER, the service. TOTALLY LAUGHABLE! I normally sit at the bar, but if you don't get the one certain young lady(she's not here tonight) the service is potluck at best. Tonight, Saturday February 24th, The Young Lady told me I can't even order food for 20 minutes. How RIDICULOUS!! This is a RESTAURANT.... Right? I want to tell y'all to come out, but I want my lamb chops. Seems the fewer the better.‍

      Great space food was good, I had the egg rolls and Mac and cheese. Which were both amazing the porterhouse was cooked to perfection. We ate at the bar service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a great choice!

      Talk is your food and service is hit and miss. I experienced the same for myself. Yesterday the steak bites were well seasoned and cooked to order. The salad iceberg lettuce was brown and the bread was tough. I ordered the same thing today: didn't get the bread; the lettuce was brown and the tomato was old. The steak bites were horrible and very undercooked to my order. I called to address my concerns...never came to the phone. LOL!!
