Maple glazed roasted chicken
Esther D.

The decor is great. It was pretty loud. The food was okay and maybe a little overpriced for the quality/quantity. The best thing we had was the bacon wrapped dates. They weren't great at accommodating dietary restrictions/requests so our options for ordering were a limited.

One of the vodka specialty cocktails

Dined here last night 8/2/26 around 8pm. 8:17 your female bartender was eating behind the bar directly across from us. At 8:25 she had a cheese curd with her cleaning gloves on and never changed them. Mind you she was cleaning the bar and stopped to eat but I dunno. There was more focus from both bartenders in getting ahead on their closing side work then conversing with customers who had never been there - and sadly won't be back. Too bad. Seemed like a nice spot.

Riesling , Yum!
Claudia G.

The vibe was great! The staff was very friendly, and the food and drinks came out quickly, which I really appreciated. Our waitress gave us some great suggestions for new drinks to try, and the mac and cheese was so good. I also appreciated how kind they were when they were trying to kick us out so they could use the table again I kept ordering wine because I was really enjoying the place. Just a heads up: the speakeasy inside requires a separate reservation. I accidentally booked a regular in-room reservation instead of the specific area I wanted within the restaurant. If you want the speakeasy/book club area, make sure to select that option when making the reservation. Now I know for next time, I'll definitely be trying that! Either way, it was a great night. The prices aren't high and are very reasonable. I'll definitely be back.

Chicken and waffles!!!
Coco G.

First time here for brunch after church and before our movie at the Harkins this afternoon. Plenty of street parking in downtown and also a parking garage available. Love the interior decoration, the dark walls, high ceilings, dim classy lighting, the indoor and patio seating. I like it when restaurants use mirrors to create the effect of making it seem longer or more spacious. The bar was stellar, prettily backlit, with a rolling ladder needed to reach the top shelf! We were greeting warmly at the front door and seated right away at 12:30 which was fantastic considering all the foot traffic in downtown Redlands on a Sunday afternoon. Our server, Savannah, was super prepared for our question of the most popular dishes on the menu, including her personal favorites. We ordered the pesto chivjrn sandwich with side salad of mixed greens and lemon vinaigrette, as well as the chicken and waffles. Only waters on the side (which Savannah refilled hot is a couple times) because we wanted to stay wide awake for the movie. While we waited for our brunch we had the perfect vantage point to watch the bartender with a shaker in each hand, making two simultaneous cocktails and pouring ambidextrously. Cool!! The chicken and waffles were delicious (5/5)-- both crispy and flavorful, maple syrup already on the waffles, chicken tender enough to cut with a fork. The pesto sandwich was yummy but I wish that the garlic sauce and pesto was between the chicken and the arugula rather than between the arugula and the bread--reason is I got tired of bread by the second half but then eating the chicken and arugula was slightly bland because the garlic and pesto had completely absorbed into the bread. (4.5/5)--still satisfying, maybe I'd ask for extra pesto on the side next time. The side salad was scrumptious--no notes! Highly recommend!!!

We came here for dinner. It's for a nice and modern ambience. We ordered two appetizers and three main entrees to share. Honestly, they were all ok, nothing really stood out to me. The meatballs weren't good at all the meatballs themselves got no taste. Beignets were the best out of all the items we ordered. With drinks, our bill was close to $250. I don't think the food and drinks they offered worth that price.

Fried Brussel Sprouts, Cheese Plate, Bruschetta
Chrissy L.

The State's Fried Brussels Sprouts, Cheese Plate, and Bruschetta were delicious. The Brussels sprouts were crispy, the cheese plate was great, and the bruschetta was tasty.

Beignets
Lucy M.

Where do I even start!? 1. Great service 2. Great environment 3. Great great food!! The fried oysters, absolutely delicious. The beignets, yumm!! The steak and mashed potatoes, perfect. I am definitely coming back.

I came here during happy hour and was very happy about the food and whiskey options. What a very cool vibe kind of place and very relaxing. The server was outstanding. I'll be back for their tacos and truffle burger again.

Roger C.

Dined on October 7, 2025 - but eat here often!! This place is always a great option when in downtown Redlands. Large restaurant with a large patio and large bar area. SERVICE: Service was great today. We were seated right away and our server was very nice. They seem to get a lot of new servers, but they all must train well! FOOD: As always, food came out great! I had their street tacos for Taco Tuesday, my wife had their meatballs and bruschetta; and my daughter had the avocado tempura wraps and some fries. You can not go wrong here. The food is Fab! And their prices are reasonable. And if you want some great drinks? This is the place too!

Sergio R.

Our first time at The State and will definitely be going back. We made a reservation and were seated on our arrival. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Service with a smile :) By far one of the best burgers I've had in a while. Cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients. I opted for a side salad and accompanied it with a Crispín Hard Cider. The restaurant has a good vibe with mixed seating that can accommodate different group sizes. There didn't appear to be a bad seat in the house. It is located in the historic downtown area which makes for a nice evening out.

Poutine
Leilani M.

Always luv a visit at the state great service. Waiting area in front with bench seat. Front area with large open space, bar or inside seating booths or bar height tables. Luv a good poutine! This is one to try. Melty cheese please. Drinks are great with mocktails also available. HH menu during the week. Limited parking right in front along the downtown strip additional parking a block or two away.

Cajun shrimp Mac
Tiffany B.

My son and I went on a dinner date here. The food was delicious, but the portion size were a little small. The lighting is done dim and that can be a little bit undesirable. If you're not ready for it they only had two TVs in the bar and you couldn't see them really from the patio and there was a dodger game on. overall we had a great time and Sierra was a great server!

So is are y'all open again? Tried coming here a few months back and all the window and doors were boarded shut

What are some good Vegan options?

There is a vegan burger and vegan pasta.

Are you "dog friendly"?

Nope, keep rover at the crib.

How is the outside seating right now during the pandemic?

The outside seating is available, but spaced out. There's two tables for groups of 3 or more, but other than that, there's bar stool seating for four groups of 2 each.

How many grams of sugar are in the zoodle and meatball dish?

Probably best you just eat at home.

Do they have any vegan options for brunch? Like a tofu scramble?

They now have lots of Vegan options!

They have a great happy hour menu for food and drinks. The ceviche and chips were delicious. We ordered the tacos, carne asada and chicken to try them both. They were good but nothing to brag about. I noticed one waitress sitting at the bar and chatting with what I think is a personal friend. There were little fruit flies buzzing around. Probably from bar area. The place could be cleaner. The rest rooms needed cleaning. The place needs larger attractive sign outside on street to draw in more customers. Larger happy hour menu. Had more color on the inside or better decor. The possibility is endless. Bar needs attention. I had friends talk about going as well and agree with suggestions.

I hope one day to see them on the stage so I can say, "I got to see them when they were small fries." The Vault hosts a lot of events, including musical open mic nights. I still prefer Writers Block's open mic night (the first Wednesday of every month). I am shocked that the event is free, with how talented the poets are. I have bought several books from one of the local poets (shout out to Winry Hagerty!!) who sells her work at the poetry event. The last time I went there were stickers from an artist, some leather works, books by poets for sale. The atmosphere at The Vault during Open Mic Night is vibrant and supportive. The audience is engaged and respectful, providing an encouraging environment for the performers to shine. It's worth noting that this event is not only entertaining but also affordable. It's free. If you're looking for an enjoyable and affordable evening filled with talent and creativity, make sure to check out The Vault's Open Mic Night.

I had been in there for literally 3 minutes at that point. And if I wanted to do that shit, my car was right outside. I tried to explain to him that I had just returned back inside from a smoke, but all he did was threaten to kick me out for literally NO FUCKING REASON. I am transgender, and while this used to be one of my favorite spots, I will never be returning. I have been made to feel unsafe and unwelcome at this bar and I regret the fact I spent money on beer just to calm my fucking nerves after the incident. If youre worried about people using the bathroom and taking their time, get more fucking bathrooms, and dont treat out of town talent like shit. Especially queer talent, if you're a so called "safe space"

The tacos on the menu for the special was a carne asada taco, a shrimp taco, and a chicken taco. These tacos are on a rotating basis every week. The carne asada was more like shredded beef. Both that one and the chicken taco were good but nothing special. The shrimp one on the hand!!! Now that is one i'd write home about. it came with four shrimp pieces , and the taco shell was fried and perfectly crunchy. I would come back for that one any day! The service for us was interesting. Service was super nice but we weren't helped for a while. i think our seating placement might have been right in the middle of both the servers' territory so there might have been confusion on who was suppose to help us?
