    We sat in for about 1 1/2 hours and the waiter only checked on us maybe two times. We had to ask other staff members to check on our food which took forever. When the food did arrive, it was cold and poorly plated.  we have eaten at this location, four or five times previous and have not had this experience before. They actually forgot to put in two of our orders and they never even came to the table. The manager apologized and comped the items it did not receive. The experience was so bad we do not see ourselves returning here anytime soon.

    It's been over a year since we've eaten at State Fare. I had higher expectations. The service was great. She was attentive and helpful. The food, however, was mediocre. My husband had the ribeye and ate less than half of it. He said it was so tough he could barely chew it and it was full of fat. Two guests ordered Brussels sprouts and both had the same takeaway - they were soaked in sweet liquid and were barely edible. Our table of 4 guests probably ate less than 6 Brussels sprouts between us. The gumbo was thick and more like a gravy than a gumbo. However, the shrimp, andouille and chicken were pretty tasty...just not in the form of a gumbo. Four entrees, a salad, one lemonade and one old fashioned...with tip was $180. It certainly did not feel like a $180 meal. We left feeling a bit queasy from it all. Because we were hosting our guests, we did not mention our dissatisfaction with the server or manager as we didn't want to make our guests feel uncomfortable.

    Everything was great, just a little quiet out there today, but there was bad weather so maybe that's why. Food was delicious!

    Service from waitress was very slow and the restaurant was over half empty. The manager tried to help but it was not a good experience overall. In the past the service was great but not this time.
