State Fare Kitchen & Bar

First time to this establishment. I was impressed with the space and the seating options. They have booths with dividers that give you privacy, long tables to accommodate 6-8 people, regular tables and chairs, and they also have a nice patio along the exterior of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Our glasses were never empty. I had the wedge salad and the gumbo. Both were very good. The wedge salad looked more like a half head of lettuce verses a wedge; the portion was big. It was topped with candied pecans, bacon and sliced cherry tomatoes. I opted for no red onion. I also am not a blue cheese fan, so I altered mine: no blue cheese crumbles, no blue cheese dressing, substitute with jalapeno ranch instead. The gumbo was the perfect temperature with a nice piece of garlic bread. It is a little spicy, but I enjoyed it. My meal was very filling and tasted great! They have a full menu, so I will return to try more items. The restaurant was clean and the bathrooms well-tended. They have a room called the “Music Room”. Loving music as I do, I peeked in and fond out if is a private room for parties. I found out later, it is the only room they don’t play music in, so maybe they should change the name. Speaking of music, the music they play in the common areas is great. Lots of 80’s and light rock. Complimentary valet service is available. Don’t forget to tip. Regarding the valet, my only suggestion would be for them to tell the valet service to please not put their hands on the exterior windows of the cars. Both my car and my friend’s car had a palm print on the driver side window. This is very annoying especially if you just had your vehicle detailed. I am not discrediting State Fare for this and wouldn’t dock them a star in my review, but it would be appreciated if something was mentioned. For an extra treat, visit during the holidays. The Memorial City “Gateway” is nicely lit with pretty Christmas lights.

Great food! Nice decor and big portions! I would recommend this place for a good brunch and come with a healthy appetite because the plates are very generous with their portions. The place looks clean and well kept. They play music to the vibe is friendly and upbeat. There is valet available and a parking garage for additional parking.

State Fare is such a fun place to go for brunch. My family and I really enjoyed their “secret menu” brunch board which had pecan pancakes, chicken & waffles, deviled eggs, and avocado toast. We also tried their frozen cocktails flight… OMG the ocean water is AMAZING!!! I crave that silly drink it was so good. The service was just okay but we knew they were busy so no real problem for us.

Visited late Saturday night, so there was plenty of seating available. Very nice restaurant, but I wasn't impressed. Limited menu & overpriced for what they offer, in my opinion. On top of it being the first time here, we were solicited by 2 pre-teens right at our table askfor donations. I mean, really??? I could understand if this happened outside but not right at my table. They tried a few others as well & we all seemed to be taken back by this. Honestly, I thought it was some sort of Youtube prank.

I recently dined at State Fare, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was nothing short of amazing. The staff was not only friendly but also highly professional, making the overall dining experience a true delight. From start to finish, State Fare delivered on taste, service, and ambiance. Highly recommended!

One of our favorite restaurants! The food is always cooked to perfection! Highly recommend the Honey Glazed Brussel Sprouts!! The service can seem really slow at times but we’ve never had an issue. A couple of times we’ve gone it’s been hot in there like the A/C wasn’t on but it’s Houston so it’s just hot everywhere. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

This is a great brunch spot. Great location, staff, and menu selection. They even had complimentary valet when I went. Our server was very friendly and recommended the most amazing red velvet waffles with ribs. Definitely try the frozen drink flight. I would return and recommend this place to friends, family, and clients.
