Best steak in Starkville?

You think that is blasphemy. I quit grilling steaks a few years ago. A friend turned me on to the cast iron skillet method. Way better than I could ever get on the grill.

Agree completely. Spent many years grilling and still do for larger gatherings, but if it's feasible a cast iron skillet Ribeye is my go to. Sea salt, ground pepper, let it sit a bit and go. I have an old Wagner skillet from my grandmother that I re-seasoned and it is nearly non-stick with it's smooth bottom vs the modern Lodge's.

I usually throw a half clove of garlic in late and then rub it all over the steak once it's resting. Make a butter, Worchestshire and drippings dipping sauce to complete the artery clogging extravaganza.

I know this is blasphemy but I was in Tupelo last weekend and we decided to try the new Texas Roadhouse, best Ribeye I have ever had in the city of Tupelo hands down. It was probably in the top 10 ever and I have eaten a lot of steaks in a lot of places. The next one may be crap. I usually don't order steaks at a chain but that one was cooked perfect, tender, juicy, and seasoned great.

they are killing it there. And putting a real hurting on Outback. But it’s not a real accomplishment being the best steak in Tupelo. It’s like having the best BBQ in orange Beach, AL. I mean.. there are the usual chains, woodys, park heights, and Homers. None of them are just outstanding.

if I’m craving a pretty good steak, I’ll drive up to Corinth and eat at Russell’s or down to West Point to Anthony’s.

I put a large pat of butter on the steak when it goes into the oven. I use the Montreal Steak seasoning mostly but have done a few others. The other thing I like is if you like sauteed mushrooms with you steak, lightly saute them then finish them in the same skillet with the steak.

I will never grill another steak. Cast iron with butter is the only way to go.

I haven't been to either in many years, but really enjoyed both. They certainly have different approaches.

If you'd prefer not to use a meat thermometer, buy a grill thermometer that you can set directly on the grill. Using that, its easy to know how long to leave them on.

Well, we gave Veranda a try and we have marked it off our list. Of the eight of us that went, only three enjoyed their meal. The Ribeye was mediocre at best. $28 steak with the flavor of the Waffle House griddle. I realize that steaks are very subjective as everyone likes theirs differently but neither of us that got the Ribeye liked it. I'll fire up my own grill next time.

Anyone have an opinion on Commodore Bob’s?

I can't find a good steak anywhere when I go out, always come away disappointed. I don't want some gas "flame broiled" steak, I want charcoal grilled. The closest thing I've found is Old Hickory Steakhouse in Columbus, its not as good as mine at home but close. Just looked and their Yelp rating is 4.5 out of 5

Me and the crew at work deep fried an entire ribeye one evening. It was great. Don't knock it until you've tried it. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...E2AA2E02E9F322EE41BDE2AA2E02E9F322E&FORM=VIRE

Sorry to hear that but thanks for the update. Probably been 3 years since I ate there and I'm hearing more and more bad reports. The more restaurants we get these days the fewer really good ones we seem to have. Hard to maintain consistency and The Veranda has been at it for a number of years, so they must be losing steam. The restaurant business is brutal if you're a good owner. Gotta be in your blood.

Anthony's is the best, hands down. When you can't get a table there go west and hit Sonny's Smokehouse in Ackerman and thank me later.

You can’t get good steak in Starkville worth forking out for....except at Kroger (they have USDA prime choice cuts). Cook it yourself.

The best steak you'll ever find is the one you cook yourself
