As much as I love Starkville, how does a Waffle House and a Krystal fail in a college town? In my time there it was B-Quick chicken and JoJo taters, Coleman's BBQ and that was it after 10:00pm and as bad as it was they made it good or not.
money went in the.....
I think a lot of money failed to make in to the right place........

How a krystal failed in sville:...twice...should get its own a&e documentary.
A town that loves cheap, mass produced **** and a krystal fails.

A lot of Krystal's closed at same time
Starkville and Columbus lost the stores at the same time.

Don't know if either is true but I heard the first one closed because drunks and gangstas after dark drove away night time customers and the second one was shut down because you could get an entomology degree by walking through the kitchen.
I'll tell you how. After the spring game last year I tried to get Krystal on my way home.
It was 10:05 and they were close on a Saturday night. But hey, the McDonalds across the street
was jammed up!

and you could get a PhD in theoretical physics by the time they actually gave you your food.
Judging from the
content of the character of the employees there, when I frequented the joint, this is what I had always assumed. Seems as if better management could have corrected some of these problems.

Service was terrible. I complained to their HQ in Chattanooga twice. Service did not improve, but I did get vouchers for a couple of free meals which I chose to use in other than Starkville.
I can vouch for the gangstas at the first one. This was sometime around 94 or 95 my roommate and I decided to make a late night run for some Krystals andwhile we were in the drive through line the guy in the car behind us rolled down his window and just started shooting. Not sure if it was in the air or at someone. I was not there long enough to find out. I liked me some Krystals but not that much.
We tried to go to the old Krystal after the 1999 Egg Bowl.
It's after midnight, and the drive-thru line isn't going anywhere. Finally we get to where we order, and we're told "We're out of Krystals and Krystal Chiks until 1:30", which of course brings up two questions:
1. You're a Krystal, how do you ever run out of Krystals or Krystal Chicks?
2. How are you getting restocked on Krystals and Krystal Chicks at 1:30 AM the morning after Thanksgiving?
These questions still baffle me.
So we left, still starving, and headed to West Point to see if anything was open over there. It wasn't, and by the time we got back to Starkville, it was after 1:30, so we went back to the Krystal, where they indeed somehow now had Krystals and Krystal Chiks, and we enjoyed tasty low-grade fresh, hot, small, and square burgers as we watched the ESPN replay late, late at night.
