Starvin Marvin's

Loved it. I'm almost sad that I don't love closer to Beaumont. My group of friends needed a last hurrah on our way home from Lake Charles and we found exactly that in Starvin Marvin's. We had two cars of people using smart phones to find a good place. Only requirement was a patio and beer. This spot was exactly that. Biggest patio I've ever seen, along with some pretty large and cheap beers. That was enough to make me happy already, but when the food came out I was truly in heaven. Crawfish Mac N Cheese? Yes! Fried pickled okra? Yes! Only reason Starvin Marvin's didn't get 5 stars was none of the waitresses were particularly nice and my food came out cold. I can still look passed that for a giant patio and several different styles of Mac :-)

Don't know how they stay in business.  Visited the restaurant twice- the first visit is memorable due to the server's snotty attitude, the incorrect order that arrived at the table and the length of time it took to get our check.  The second visit (and last, until the owner starts training people properly) could only have been worse if we'd gotten food poisoning.  That couldn't have happened, though, as we were IGNORED the whole twenty minutes we sat there.  No "hi, I'll be right with you", no drinks- the server for the table next to us, however, did notice we were there, as evidenced by the eye contact she made with me as she put the other table's empty, dirty dishes on our table while she laughed and chatted with the people she was waiting on.  Worse yet, it was crawfish night.  It's bad enough being ignored by a server - having the server who is ignoring you dump a tray full of decapitated crawfish carcasses on your table and leave them there is even worse.  Walked out right after that.  We will not return.  Marvin needs to run his business a little tighter.  I have to give the one star because it won't save unless I do- this place does not deserve even a pity star.

They had raelly good food, and the service was good although our server had a bit of an attitude that we kept saying we were cold.    I'd definitely go back because it was very tasty...I'll just wear two coats instead of one.  :)
