State & Allen Kitchen + Bar

The restaurant was great. Service was excellant. my only complaint is we were having a casual Saturday night dinner on the patio and the noise level from surrounding bars and other places was very distracting. There is nothing the restaurant can do about that, its not there fault but everything else was excellant.

Favorite Brunch place in Uptown!

Service is extremely bad and food is very mediocre

2nd visit, we were early for reservation which led to minor confusion. Got seated in bar which was very Loud. Food was good but not as good as first visit. Will come back for a tie breaker visit.

Great environment wasn’t so impressed with the my food selection. We didn’t get silverware until after our had arrived and by then the waffle was cold and eggs were prepared well.

Great waitress and food! Prices were great too.

Charming street side patio dining with a good brunch menu and delicious desserts

Brandi was our delightful server.
Celebrating 46th anniversary brunch was the best food, service Nd atmosphere in Dallas.

Absolutely horrendous. From the service to the food that McDonald’s wouldn’t even let out of the kitchen. Never again.

Great for Mother's Day brunch. It was not too crowded and the weather was beautiful. The food was good. Our server Taylor was attentive.

Awesome spot for brunch...Great food and Mimosas. The customer service is amazing.

The brunch on Mother's Day was delicious- all 7 in our party finished every bite. The outdoor seating was covered. The tables are all high top and the general atmosphere is more of a bar. I would probably return for happy hour or a casual dinner with friends. Service was slow and not attentive

Mother’s Day

Go, go, go, go! You won’t be disappointed. We were there to celebrate Mother’s Day. There were 12 of us and the food and service were both exceptional. Ages from 1 week to 85 years old and it was amazing. Every request was met with a smile and immediate action. The banana bread pudding French toast was beyond delicious. I was afraid my father was going to lick the plate! Chicken and waffles was very good. Their take on eggs Benedict was interesting, ‘prosciutto and poached’. Great hollandaise. We will definitely be going back. They also own the Nodding Donkey. We are going to try there too.

Not busy at all and the worst service I’ve had in years. No acknowledgement for at least 10 minutes after being seated. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. After 20 minutes of waiting for the check, we finally had to get up and find the waitress to pay and leave. The entire waitstaff was walking around completely bored and uninterested.

Food was amazing and nice and friendly staff. Would recommend this place to others.

Reserved a table for 10 with no problems. Food and service were both great.

Had Easter Brunch here. Sat outside and food and service were great. Nice Mimosas. Prices were excellent and food was delicious and well-prepared. No children. A few people with well behaved dogs on patio. No rush and service was excellent.

I loved my burger. My date however, was not a fan of the Love Love Bowl - said it didn't have much flavor. I'd come back, but maybe not with him.

I've been a regular patron for quite awhile. The service and food are always outstanding. A great place to go!

The service was awesome, but I was slightly disappointed with my waffles and my daughter’s steak. Could have tasted better!!!

Great bar with good street-side seating. Good happy hour selection. Nice neighborhood.

Fun opennaire place for brunch!

We've been many times for brunch. Great value, and great Bloody Mary and Mimosa bars! This time, however, the hostess at the door failed to record our arrival, so we got a "friendly" reminder from the folks here at OpenTable about keeping reservations or canceling. I responded quickly that we had most certainly kept the reservation, requesting that OpenTable have State and Allen correct their records. To their credit, I heard back from OpenTable within 24 hours with an apology and notice that they would have State and Allen do so. So, good food, great drinks....but make sure they actually mark you down as having arrived.........

Food is very good, atmosphere is wonderful when weather is good - great people watching - prices are reasonable and waitstaff is funky and efficient. Only real problem is parking and the supposed parking spaces "advertised" on website don't really exist - streets all around are restricted parking for residents only - big bummer.

I would go back. The food was good and it was a nice little place. Our server started out okay, but then tended to forget about us and by the end had an attitude of she really didn't care. She even seemed offended when I ordered dessert. Service is a huge thing to me, however I could tell this wasn't the norm from the interaction I received from other members of the staff there.

Our server was awesome!

Enjoyed the food and cocktails on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon!

Wonderful!

Food was delicious, drinks were good, service great and will definitely be back for brunch!

State and Allen was able to accommodate our large party for Saturday brunch. The service was great and the food was delicious--plus you can't beat $3 mimosas!

Surprise birthday brunch for a friend

Food was excellent. They did not have the mix for the first couple of drinks I wanted, which was a Debbie Downer. Not that it is always like this, but a few tables were groups of men that talked very loud. The food, staff, and price were good. I would recommend this restaurant.

This was our first time coming here, the shrimp fettuccine was great! But the Fillet mignon didn’t taste like it was seasoned. Other than that the atmospheres was great very friendly staff. Would definitely come back for more.

If you’re not under 25 it may not be your scene

Great service! Loved the bloodies, mimosas and waffles.

The perfect Sunday brunch spot! Ask for Brandi! She’s super cool!

i made a reservation and when I got to the restaurant that reservation was not honored. And with no apology, either. If you are considering restaurants, chose another. There are plenty of better ones to chose from.
