State Park features amusements like tabletop shuffleboard, a small menu of reasonably priced Southern snacks and light bites, and a beverage program that includes pitchers of cocktails.

Skip the brunch line at that toast place and grab a bloody Mary (comes with a beer) and a Lumberjack (mmm pork chop pancakes)

The interior looks like your crazy Uncle Eddy's basement but the food is like he somehow married Rachel Ray. The trout and fried chicken 👌🏼

The BBQ Spaghetti is fantastic; huge hunks of brisket with a bit of a kick. The amazing garlic bread is the icing on this savory cake.
Gloria ChinMarch 26, 2014
get the Kentucky hot brown (bubbling open-faced turkey, bacon and cheese sauce sandwich), the special-to-DC half-smoke (chili-slathered pork-and-beef sausage), and Nashville-style hot chicken

Wellfleet oysters, buttermilk biscuits and cured ham board were awesome. Restaurant quality food in a dive bar atmosphere...great combo with really friendly staff.

Zagat says, "We could drown and die happy in a bowl of Memphis BBQ Spaghetti ($11), a flavorful combo of smoked pork shoulder, pasta and a 50/50 mix of housemade marinara and barbecue sauce."

The State Park Cocktail, is, as always, a must. And that Nashville Hot fried chicken? It is INCREDIBLY hot. Do not mess with this chicken because it will kick your ass.

Great divebar with fantastic food. Try the Tabasco and Honey Fried Chicken!

Good all American place, friendly staff and a proper hillbilly band raising the roof on a Sunday night

Cozy and friendly place. Great for a beer or for a tasty dinner. Good and original small plates.

Love the night scene on weekends! Shuffle board rocks. But - small beer selection and their food is a little overpriced, especially for brunch.
Terrence BeachApril 15, 2015
Great spot for late night food and drinks. The menu changes often so don't get too attached to anything.
Sofia PapastamelosOctober 6, 2016
Cool place to grab drinks and junk food with friends. Seem to have a good beer and drink list.

Eggs Benedict at brunch is great! Get some extra toast to soak up the yolk and sauce.
Ricky SherrillMarch 3, 2015
A great place to hangout with friends and have some fun. Good food & plenty of games.
Jeremy KrantzAugust 15, 2014
Many of their appetizers are perfect for sharing in a group. Try their B&B pickles, they're great!

Very popular after work. I recommend coming with a group. When it's slow pinball and shuffleboard are fun distractions.

The Green Walnut is no longer on the menu, but if you ask nicely maybe they'll make one for you.

Their Fried Okra is the best in New England and a State Park Cocktail is a must try

Go nuts. Just eat everything. Pork chop, BBQ spaghetti, & charred broccoli are especially good.
Brendan O'LearyOctober 21, 2014
Good live music. A varied beer list from cheap to pricey. The fried cheese curd app was good.
CITY GRITAugust 16, 2014
Get the party started right - order the Party Starter! We also love the Cornmeal Catfish!

Great spicy and sweet fried chicken (also a huge portion).

Great fried chicken with Tabasco honey as well as Wisconsin Bloody Mary's!
Jeremy CoxJanuary 17, 2014
Order the Tobacco Onions and ask for a side of buttermilk ranch and/or BBQ sauce to dip them in.
Tamara HJanuary 20, 2014
We failed to get the tobacco onions and we regretted it the rest of the night.

They have a creative cocktail menu. The fried cheese app is tasty.

A pitcher of Tom Collins always feels decadently delicious.
