State Park

This place is exactly what you want out of a dive. Good vibe, warm atmosphere, no frills, and surprisingly good food. Food punches well above its weight for a place like this. Beer list is pleasant, with several options (national, local, and import). Duck nachos are awesome because each chip is loaded so your bite is perfect. The kale Cesar is surprisingly good (I’m not a salad guy). Wings looked better than they tasted and were admittedly average (think they could have used a few more min in the fryer), as was the sandwich, but overall I was pleased with everything we got.

We went to celebrate a friends 30th birthday, it was my first time here! 1/2 of the space was empty to become a dance floor later in the night. They had a fun cocktail menu. I mostly stuck to bottled beer but the cocktails and mocktails that my friends had they said were delicious.

My new favorite restaurant spot in Cambridge. I went three times in the week I was working at MIT. All the dishes are good. Their katsu sandwich is probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The oysters are fresh. The fried chicken has so much flavor (if you get Nashville hot you'll enjoy it too but through tears of pain) As great as the food is, I'll praise the service more. Jess especially is an amazing server. She has that magnetic aura that makes a person feel like they're already friends. What a cool person. Almost forgot to add, their fries are amazing... dangerously amazing. For my own health I have to stop getting them, I end up eating all of it and wanting more.

I've been coming to State Park for years. Love the vibe, great drinks, and they always have a few new items on the menu. If they have the butternut squash creme de pot for dessert (sounds odd I know), give it a try - it was fantastic!

Fun sort of divey atmosphere. Lots of vintage bar signs. Good drinks and apps. Tge fries were a bit too salty but the duck nachos were delish!
