Haven't been around the board much the past couple of days to post, but I did hear from very reliable sources that (as of right now) The Grill will not be renewing their lease in the Cotton District. Their plans are to build a new building near the old creamery/dairy/(whatever it was) on the corner of Lampkin and Montgomery. I didn't see this posted on the first couple of pages, so forgive me if Germans.

Edited to add: Apparently, their lease runs through the end of the year.

So, are they assuming Cotton Mills will actually be built and are looking to capitalize on the increased foot traffic (Edit: Just realized Cotton Mills won't provide traffic at the Montgomery/Lampkin intersection)? I'm beginning to have my doubts regarding the project and would love to have those in loop in Starkville (cowbell9 and dogpound11) tell me otherwise.

On another note, if the Grill is indeed moving, that location is prime for a legit sports bar if Sunday sales are ever approved. Are you newly elected aldermen listening?

Why move? Prime real estate with plenty of foot traffic. If space is holding them back, couldn't they build up? I'm not liking the sound of this. I have a mental image of new grill looking like Abners or some other BS when it's all said and done.

Edit to add: I'm assuming they aren't being raped on their lease.

They killed it when they renovated.

Oh.... and how many different iterations have the plans for the old creamery undergone in the last decade?

Having said that, the creamery location would be a kick *** locale for a restaurant. But here's hoping somebody takes over the old grill building and brings it back old school.

which have become mysteriously smaller since 1998. the last time i went, i also remember that the chicken used in the grilled chicken sandwich had been changed and wasn't the same quality. the location was great, though.

I used to really like their hot wings, but they changed the sauce and officially destroyed my taste for them. I have gone in since that change and requested them 'old style' which works sometimes...but not every time.

For the first year or two, they always got it right. Then, the chicken changed. And finally nobody was left that knew what I was talking about. It was like Flo & Eddie's burning, but bit by bit.

rocked back in the day. With an order of mozzarella cheese sticks with ranch and marinara mixed to dip them in, what a great college meal. And it had the coldest draft beer in town.

Are still in negotiations with the University on the Cooley Property. Like I've said before, projects of this magnitude just take time when there are so many details to be worked out. Especially with a state college, the IHL, the National Historic Trust, Department of Archives and History, etc.

As far as the Grill relocating. I haven't heard that and asked around and nobody seems to know anything about it. I'm calling ******** for right now, but it may happen. Anyways, they ruined our old Grill!!! Oh, and Dan Camp owns the building they lease.

When a user who rarely posts chimes in with specific, obscure details on an issue and appears to be posting from a mobile device?... you can take it as gospel.

Tupelo grill is much nicer atmosphere wise, but menu is the same. As far as the location of the old Borden Plant, Tabor Development has taken it over and is renovating it into office/retail space. Tabor is a first class operation, and already runs the shopping center where McAllisters, Papa Johns, etc are located, in addition to several apartment complexes. The building in the Cotton District would be prime for a nice bar that would have inside seating and entertainment, as opposed to the outside venues like Bin612 and Rock Bottom.

Went to The Grill the Sunday after the Arkansas game this year. I Hadn't been back to Starkville or the grill in 10 years and you guys are dead on. Very disappointed. Could have also been how hungover I was. On a side note; the baptist church near by had just gotten out and the amount of good looking *** in that place was impressive. Brought me back to the gold ole days and Thursday nights at the Grill. Except half of them were with their parents.</p>

He opened what originally was the District Cafe there back when I was in school. When I lived in the neighborhood, we spent many a lazy evening there. At one time, Bill was in Jxn but I thought someone told me he returned to Starkville to get back in the rest/bar biz. I was just curious if he was the proprietor of any local watering hole now.

for the pisser? I swear a couple of times I was waiting in line to drain it, and the thought did cross my mind to walk into the kitchen (that was right across from the lone pisser) and piss down one of the kitchen floor drains.

Then you would always have the ******* that was in there pealing one and the line would be backed up to the bar.</p>

to get something to eat after the game. Me and about 5 other girls go over to talk to him. Somehow, I was ignored.

Also, Monday Night Football was awesome there too.

i preferred the bacon cheddar club, though, not the texas club. the chicken changed, though, and they went from shredded cheddar to sliced - not good moves. drinks and scenery were always good, though.

Of back when they only had that one-holer for each gender. Squintdawg took about a 20 minute big nasty in there one night (while the bar was crowded) and stunk up the hole damn Grill. Good times...

MNF they had $1 CoorsLight and everybody got raffle tickets for t-shirts or other crap. Well I was going through my closet the other day and found one of those free t-shirts. Still has chicken wing sauce stains on it. Somebody in our group won a neon coorslight sign one night. Also, I learned after my freshmen year to not have an 8 am lab on Tuesdays.

Another side note. Herbstreit hit on my now wife at the grill one night. Guess Erin Andrews must have been working another ballgame.

I can remember back to the college days, I was a sophomore and Wardlaw was just graduating from the PGM program.... he was a loyal customer and was invited to guest bar tend a day or two before graduation.

I also think he later returned from working in Nashville and while trying to figure life out was working as a waiter.

is like 90% off anywhere else. It amazes me how cheap it is to drink in Starkville. I remember paying $15 tabs for a full night of drinking at the bar. In Memphis $15 could be 3 beers.

...but thinking about penny pitchers makes me vomit in my mouth a little.
