    The service was wonderful. Had a great server. They kept coming by to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure the service was great. Food was good. Gave us extremely large portions. Had a DJ in there and he played some great music. Overall I have no complaints.

    Everyone knows what Starters is... Decent bar food and strong drinks for a good price. This location, although a little more hood than the others, has consistently served better food than the others. The service is good and the vibes are on point.

    Omg.... First off it was freezing in there which doesn't take away from the 5 star ranking.... The tomahawk steak was soo good even at $60 bucks. Lamb chops, loaded potato skins were great... Thick waitresses serving the food so it was a great experience.. good environment overall

    For a local lounge the food and service and drinks are great. Return and you will get the same. Also a nice lineup of songs 🎵 playing helps the atmosphere. Lunch specials are well done ,you will likely find something you want lots of variety.

    Don’t order off of Uber eats they gave me a bowl of cold pepper steak and rice and didn’t care about it either just said call Uber. It looks like it’s somebody else order from a day ago. DEFINITELY NOT FRESH.

    I have loved Starters food for so long!!! It’s actually one of my favorite restaurants, the Plymouth location is the absolute BEST!!! I use to be a frequent visitor especially during happy hour throughout the week however, it seems management must clearly have a thing for bartenders and waitresses with some of the WORST ATTITUDES & CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever experienced yet! Don’t get me wrong, I have come across a very small few who was excellent and very professional. But for the most part, I’ve had more bad experiences! It’s like they go out of their way to be rude and unprofessional! I don’t know if it’s an issue with homophobia or what but I’m always coming in with a positive mood and attitude along with fun people looking for good vibes and a good time nonetheless, these servers just don’t have it in them to be professional and offer the service that should be required of them. I have attempted to speak with management on site at the time and even attempted to contact owners for years after each experience and never heard anything back. Last week, after not visiting for an entire year, once again I had to encounter yet another rude stank attitude having bartender. She was fun and polite to the men sitting next to us but when me and my cousin walked up, her demeanor changed for the worst! She was even being rude and nasty to her co worker, the other bartender (who was much more polite and professional) she literally cut her off while she was engaged in conversation with us! She went out of her way to be ignorant and rude to us and for what? We are paying customers just like everyone else! So this is why I felt the need to post this review! Maybe management will see and make some changes because I sure hope nobody else has to continually deal with this kind of treatment when we’re spending our hard earned money in this establishment!

    Saturday night and it's poppin'! Ordered the Nachos (without the jalapenos) and started with a Strawberry Mule. The atmosphere is so much fun, everyone's having a good time, the staff are both on top of it and very friendly, and it's a great place to unwind and vibe. Definitely coming back!

    This was Carryout order #305 While I have always praised this location I unfortunately I can't today. The young lady who took our order was very nice and repeated our order correctly. On our receipt it's correct but who ever bagged our food needs a new job as well as whoever made it. My husband ordered the Cod with Mac and a side salad, he got Cod and fries that's it... no salad no mac. I ordered the Salmon w/mashed potatoes and Broccoli, I didn't receive the Broccoli. We ordered steak bites and fries for our daughter which was the only thing they actually got correct but.... the steak bites were COLD and EXTREMELY TOUGH!!! When we called to complain the phone was answered with a stern HOLD and then they never came back to line and somehow , miraculously the call was ended. Suffice to safe unfortunately this location has lost good customers tonight for their lack of professionalism and negligence.

    Our server, Joslyn, was really good. However, our food was served drastically at different times. My food came out at least 20 minutes later than my friend's food. He had finished his food and his drink by the time I got my food. The chicken wrap was delivered hot but no sauce on it. The fries were lukewarm. It was very disappointing. We had great conversation and the atmosphere was fine but the delay with the food made the overall experience just okay.

    Starts is a fun yet relaxed establishment to enjoy your leisure time. You'll meet some friendly individuals while enjoying your time there... The service was a little below average to say the least.. When I arrived they were prompted... But I wasn't ready to receive service because I was waiting on someone... Well once my plus one arrived the waitress/bartender continuously walked by for about 20 minutes... Once my order was taken she ignored the person I was with leaving another waitress/bartender to take the order..... Once my food came you could tell that they don't really do food prep there because the meat was fatty with excess skin and under cooked... But the environment overall and the politeness of the bouncer balanced out the unpleasant experience of the food.. Over all you'll enjoy yourself but if you order chicken tell them to cook it a little longer!!!

    My food was so good from Uber Eats! Fresh, hot and so flavorful! When I go in and eat it’s so good too and the staff is excellent! Everyone is so sweet! The pepper steak and rice (chicken substitute) top tier!

  • 5/5 Jacquie H. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven’t been here and years, but they didn’t fail! I ordered the lobster tail, baked potato, corn, and broccoli.. I was starving so I ordered a lot, but I truly enjoyed it all. The baked potato was burned, and the staff was very prompt on replacing it and the next one was good! No restaurant is perfect, but what I like is great customer service. The lobster tail was good along with everything else. I believe the manager was the one being so accommodating.. Either way, I enjoyed myself and the green tea was good!
