"State Fare serves up Gulf Coast and Southern favorites with inspired touches that are a fun and welcome update on the classics. Start with the fried green tomatoes topped with lump crab, remoulade and crisp rings of bright red jalapeno, and the shrimp Louie salad, a staple at Gulf Coast seafood houses. Feast on a classic seafood platter or the “H-town” fried chicken, served with collard greens and potato salad. Lighter fare includes the EADO poke bowl and pan-seared Palacios redfish with sauteed spinach. The spiffy, well-lit bar is a prime spot for meeting up with friends for cocktails and appetizers, while the fire pit on the restaurant’s waterfront patio is a nice spot to cozy up during cold fronts. Weekend brunch features avocado and street corn toast, oversized griddlecakes, French toast, and substantial breakfast burgers, along with frozen cocktails and flights of mimosas and bloody marys." - Laura L. Green
"The brunch menu includes deviled eggs topped with smoked bacon, chicharrones, Tajun, and Oreo French toast with buttercream and caramel sauce." - Marcy de Luna
"The Sugar Land outpost of this popular family-friendly restaurant has prime real estate in Town Center. Like its other locations (Memorial and the Woodlands), State Fare serves up nostalgic comfort plates like pickle dip, Frito pie, and fried green tomatoes. The menu is vast, but if you can’t decide, settling on the State Fare cheeseburger, made with Texas Akaushi beef, is not a bad idea." - Megha McSwain, Rebecca Deurlein
"The second outpost of a Memorial City favorite is opening in Sugar Land Town Square at 15930 City Walk, debuting on Wednesday, July 8. The restaurant occupies a massive 6,000-square-foot space with patio seating and will initially operate at 50% indoor capacity in line with the state’s reopening plan. Executive chef Justin Yoakum will oversee the kitchen, which offers an extensive Southern menu featuring gumbo, Fritos chili pie and the popular “H-Town Hot” fried chicken. Brunch service and a late-night menu (from about 9:30 p.m. until close) are available, along with frozen cocktail flights and other boozy cocktails. The location will be open Monday–Thursday 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Friday 11 a.m.–midnight, Saturday 10 a.m.–midnight and Sunday 10 a.m.–9 p.m., with takeout and curbside pickup offered." - Amy McCarthy
"Plans are underway to open a second location of State Fare Kitchen & Bar in Sugar Land this fall at 15930 City Walk at the Sugar Land Town Square, occupying a 6,086-square-foot space. The new outpost joins the original location that opened in Memorial City in 2016 and comes about a year after current owner Culinary Khancepts acquired the restaurant from the now-defunct Cherry Pie Hospitality. The Sugar Land location will serve the same menu of laid-back dishes like Fritos chili pie, fried green tomatoes with lump crab, and gigantic “XXL” pancakes served at brunch, and will boast a similar list of cocktail options, including its extremely popular flights of frozen cocktails, bloody marys, and mimosas. No official arrival date has been announced, but it is expected sometime in “late fall” 2019." - Amy McCarthy
