I live at college view apartments, and I came back to my car after being gone this weekend to find that this restaurant put flyers in everyone’s car window. Whatever they used to make these flyers melted and now everyone is having to deal with these stuck on their car. This is a pain to remove and definitely ensures that I will never go to this restaurant.

Spotlight never disappoints! Everything on the menu is great down to the different variety of punches and homemade desserts! Check them out if you’re in Starkvegas!

I got the rib tip plate lunch it is amazing, and the people over there are really nice! I finally found a place with food similar to Louisiana 🙂

I visited The Spotlight Cafe on 31 OCT 2020 at about 1500. Worst BBQ chicken I have had in a while. The chicken was dry and didn’t have much flavor. From one business owner to another, I would not serve chicken like that regardless of the time of day. The Ribtips were cold and taste mediocre. I didn’t receive a receipt when I paid.

Best BBQ I’ve ever had. I’m going to talk to the owner about catering my som’s rehearsal dinner for his wedding next June. Absolutely the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had, and I make it homemade at home. Owner is super nice and good is amazing! Eat here!

The absolute best smoked meats and BBQ in Starkville. The ribs have a deep, smoky flavor. They’re tender and succulent. They’re wonderfully moist. This is the kind of BBQ you get from along, low, loving smoke, not the sad mush you get at Lil Dooey or the burned, dry jerky at Petty’s. The sauce is amazing. It’s sweet and smokey with a hint of vinegary tang to compliment the sweetness and a very subtle undertone of spice. The beans are amazing. Sweet and spiced perfectly. And the smoked chicken is in that perfectly smoked place where it’s juicy and soft but not overcooked. The pit master knows his trade well.

They put flyers on everyone’s cars at College View Apartments and they melted to the window. Was an absolute pain to remove and I will make sure I will never go to here.
