The service was superb. Our server Mark was polite and consistent. The food came out fast and was delicious. The jalapeño cornbread cup and HTX sunrise drink were to die for! My husband and I will definitely return for another date. The service, food, and drinks were all above average. The grilled shrimp were the best my husband had ever had at a restaurant! Worth a try for sure!

The food was great. We tried some of the appetizers and drinks for happy hour. It was not too busy when we went about 4. The BBQ brisket firecrackers were good, but very spicy. I was not able to eat much of them, but the general consensus was that they were great. I highly recommend the SW Salmon cakes and the smoked chicken nachos. They all are generous portions especially for the price. The margaritas were well made and nice and stout. The frose was good enough that I ordered a second one.
We did arrive during shift change, so I understand it can be a more hectic time for the staff. That being said service was slow. We sat at the bar and had to flag down a bartender more than once. It took over 10 minutes to pay our bill, and getting a box was a little difficult.
Overall I would recommend them for the food and drinks, but maybe try a different time.

I made my reservation through Open Table and received lots of bonus points. The Texas Red Frito Pie was really good. The Shrimp Louie was tasty, but way too much Lettuce and not enough Shrimp. The Burger was really good, the Fries were even better! I would have stayed for dessert but was running late to catch a movie. Lots of Smokers, who brought their odor in with them, I probably won't be back on the weekend.

We loved this place!!!
They have outdoor seating and great service, but the food was the star!
We had the Purist Mac ‘n Cheese with Gulf Trash, which was creamy and so good, and Pesto Grilled Cheese. For the latter, we asked the waiter what was the best side they had. He said the Whiskey Glazed Brussels. We immediately laughed out loud, because we both DESPISE brussles sprouts. Cannot even put into words how much we hate the vile bitter little bulbs. He went to great lengths to coax us into getting them, so we relented. He promised he would exchange them for a different side if we did not like them. It was not necessary. They were AMAZING! Sweet and savory at the same time and drenched in a delectable sauce that nearly completely masked the bitter taste of the actual sprouts. We were gobsmacked.
The food was all so good that we discussed coming back before the end of our trip (that is something we NEVER do. We plan the whole trip around the meals and attempt to try as many different restaurants as we can in each city). We also tried two of their non-alcoholic drinks, of which they had a wide variety. I don't remember the names, but they were very unique as well.

Celebrated my birthday dinner here. My daughter recommended this place and it turned out great. Our food selection was good. Alot of different food and drinks to choose from. I will differently go back. Prices were reasonable as well. The fried green tomatoes were delicious. The wings and bacon wrapped shrimp ???? were very tasty. I can't wait to return. Oh and the flight of frozen margaritas didn't disappoint. Received deep fried oreos and ice cream as a birthday dessert and my kids enjoyed those.

I wish I could give 3.5 stars because our experience wasn’t bad. The food wasn’t bland, but decent. The drinks were somewhat watered down. Our server was good. She was patient with us and accommodating. I would have to try State Fair again. I would like to try something different on the menu.

Atmosphere & food was amazing! Fried green tomatoes were on point! They had just the right spices. I had the chicken biscuit with 4 H sauce. The biscuit is bigger than my hand and moist. I can't wait to return. Make reservations the restaurant is extremely busy on Saturday & Sunday.

Had a great experience here with my friends for brunch! The atmosphere was nice and the food and drinks was perfect! My only complaint is with the dish I ordered...the Crawfish Creole Benedict. For the price tag of that dish - I expected way more meat (crawfish and sausage) and sauce. It was good, but I doubt I'll get it again unless they increase the amount of meat on there.
Aside from that, I'll definitely go back!

State Fare Kitchen....
We made reservations and were seated immediately. We were thankful to the staff that wore mask, our waitress did not. I had a hard time navigating the menu with her standing within 6 feet of me.
However, the food was good. The double pork was delicious, the Mash Potatoes were buttery and fluffy. The string beans, were excellent. The fried tomatoes were the best, I ever had. Yes, I would return.

Went to State Fare this weekend and I can’t wait to go back. Portion sizes a plentiful and everything was tasty. One griddle cake was bigger than the plate and it was fluffy. My favorites were the hash browns and biscuits. We got there right when it opened and there was a small line but everyone was seated within 5 minutes. We’ve been in the past a little later in the day and there was a wait but nothing too crazy. All the staff were nice and kept checking in on us. This is one of my favorite restaurants when I visit Houston.
