The restaurant was very small and limited amount of tables. The wait was a bit long but expected for a weekend. Service was great. Got cheese curds as an appetizer and they were great. Food was ok. Fried chicken didn't have much seasoning (except for the gravy on top). Chicken sandwich was also not seasoned well. However, wouldn't mind trying it again.

Stopped by for lunch to try the fried pickles and cheese curds. Both were amazing as well as the rest of the food we ordered. The portions were too large (we could have shared an order of fries instead of getting them with each entree) to finish but the food was great quality and we will be stopping by again the next time we are in the area.

This is a very nice smaller Restaurant and Lounge who should be at the top of your have to go list. The menu is on the smaller side, but the food is fantastic. I had the Onion rings and they were delicious. They are hand made on site and I had for My main course a double cheeseburger and homemade fries and My Wife had the special, Shrimp Salad with a lemon vinaigrette. They were both absolutely wonderful. For dessert we had homemade peanut butter chocolate pie. I wish that I had gotten 2 pieces to go. The Bar had a great selection of beers on tap and the service was impeccable. I should mention also the prices were very reasonable. You can't go wrong here. I have found a new place to be a regular

My girlfriend got a craving for fried pickles and State & Central came up, that was the best random craving ever. The staff was very friendly, the establishment was clean, the food and drinks were fantastic, and we ate way too much hahaha. Seriously if you like fried pickles, you have to come here, they were the best I've ever had, just be careful they come out SCREAMING hot. Light, crunchy, batter fried to perfection with a bit of pepper, comes with a side of ranch. The onion rings came out the same way with more of a cornmeal batter, not my personal favorite but still fried perfectly. Highly recommend visiting, family friendly, and we'll definitely be coming back next time we're in town.

Thanks for asking! We take Covid precautions seriously. We have newly-built partitions between tables. The number of tables in our dining room have been reduced. Our staff wear masks always and take cleanliness seriously. Additionally, we employ rigorous sanitation practices. We have also taken steps to ensure minimal contact with objects in the restaurant, so paper menus, scan code menus, individual condiment containers etc. The health and safety of our staff and customers is our number one priority. Hope to see you soon!

Hi Susan, Although we don't take reservations our servers work very hard to make sure groups get seated as quickly as possible, We can make a group of 8 work, however depending on the day and time some patience may be needed.

Saturday at 530 they had a 1/2 hour wait for a party of 6. When we called for reservations they don't take reservations but said that time of day wasn't busy. We went somewhere else.

I've learned to look @ how many cars are parked on the street & whether anyone is standing outside the entrance...if so, they're packed & its Plan 'B'... Westside Tavern!
