Wings and the Kentucky fried chicken tenders were awesome. Also, the barley wine was nice to see even out here on the West Coast.

I have had better experience at the other locations. The wings here were weak. Chewy pieces of chicken and the beer-bq sauce did not taste like much. The Suncast hazy beer was good at least. read more

We have previously been to this place and while the food was mostly good, service seemed to be lacking. We decided to give it another try; and boy were we happy that we did! It turns out that they have a new manager who started. He checked in on us to make sure our food was cooked how we wanted it. We saw him bussing tables, so he seems like a hard worker and a team player. Food was excellent and the service was prompt. Our waitress checked in on us multiple times. We never waited long for anything. We spoke to the new manager after our meal and he sounded eager to make things better. So far, I will say he is doing a great job. We will be sure to be back! read more

Stay far away from this place!! We arrived at the restaurant at 6:50 and it was about 1/2 full. Our server met us as we walked in and brought us to a table. The table was dirty, but she went and got a rag and wiped it off. Unfortunately, all she did was push all the dirty stuff from the table onto the booth we were to sit in. We pushed all the food off onto the floor. We ordered drinks. Ten minutes later we were told they were out of the only brand of Chardonnay available on the menu. No problem, we ordered sauvignon that came out 10 minutes later, in the carafe but with no wine glass. We asked our server about a glass and she said that they don't have wine glasses. I asked again and she was unhelpful. I went to the bar and saw wine glasses but they were kind of behind the counter. I waited until our server was near and asked if I could grab one and she made a noise and I grabbed one. It took a little over 20 minutes for us to get our drinks. Then the waiting for our food began. Our server took our order. We waited for 50 minutes and no food came. We were starving, so I went and got our server and asked about our food. She said it was coming. Finally, almost an hour later, our two burgers showed up and we could tell they looked bad. My wife asked for the tots, but her meal came with fries. We pointed that out and our server did get us tots within a couple of minutes. I asked for silverware because we never got any, and cut into my burger. I ordered my burger medium, but it was well done. My wife and I both touched our burgers and they were not warm at all. We grabbed our server and asked to see a manager. She said she could remake it, but we told her we were done. She went to tell the manager. After waiting for 10 minutes to see the manager, I asked if the manager was coming and our server said she told him we wanted to see him. Another 5 minutes later the manger came out and said that the kitchen staff was new and they were training them. We wondered how that is our problem? All we wanted was some food and, an hour and a half later, we had nothing we had asked for. We asked to pay for our drinks so we could leave, and the manager and our server went over to the computer screens. We waited for them to return with our bill. Several minutes passed and I finally went over and asked what we owed so we could leave. The manager seemed annoyed that I came over, and said that he told us he would take care of our drinks. He never told us that. This was our worst experience ever at a restaurant. Stay away. read more

The BEST server is gone!! We have been coming to State 48 since they've opened. The food is hit or miss (the menu recently changed and we were sad about that), the beer is good. The wait staff kept turning over but one constant was Sierra. She was ALWAYS awesome. She was kind, she kept our drinks full, she cared about State 48-we loved how she decorated it for Christmas. She made an effort to get to know us. We never had to tell her what beer we wanted, what drinks our kids wanted...SHE KNEW! We are very upset to hear that she was let go. read more

Services was outstanding!! Buffalo dip=perfect Music by 90 Proof.. Right on! I enjoy a flight of 5 beers. Mango wheat was my favorite song with the blueberry. The Phoenix Porter was smooth along with the vortex red and the bock. Hubby had Rip Tide Red. read more

State 48 Rock House - Great service, beer choices and rock n roll - Breweries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great vibe for a fun lively happy hour! It is definitely loud In the evening so don't go in thinking you will have a calm and quiet meal. The food was delicious bar style food. We ordered the pretzel and the cauliflower wings to start. If you've never tried cauliflower wings do yourself a favor and try them! They are tasty and crunchy and I like to think they're significantly better for me than wings but with the same great taste! Also, a pretzel with beer of course you need it! For my meal I ordered the hot chicken sandwich, and it was amazing! Just what I wanted with the amber beer! It had a great flavor, was crunchy with enough sauce (a hint of sweetness) and was very large! I will definitely order again and split it with my fiancé. I had the vortex amber, yum, and my fiancé had the hef. We were both very happy with our beers and will defini be back. read more

State 48 Rock House - Hot Chicken Sandwich - Breweries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

State 48 just finished building a new restaurant and bar at Norterra and we tried it on a Monday night. The facility is really big. There are multiple floors of inside dining and a massive outdoor space with all sorts of games like corn hole and ping pong. We sat inside at a hightop with comfy chairs. Although there is an epic beer selection on tap, we had cocktails which were acceptable but a bit lackluster. The food is fairly well executed. I enjoyed the steak wrap which had lots of melty blue cheese oozing over tender steak and onions inside a warm tortilla. We also shared a meatball app. The meatballs are tender and hot and smothered in a tasty tomato sauce. Our server was attentive and helpful and the drinks and food came out fast. I was disappointed that I could not order anything off of the lunch menu. There were many lighter items on the lunch menu that I would have preferred for a Monday dinner. I also noticed there were no happy hour specials. If there was, they kept it a state secret. In summary, State 48 is fun, roomy, and has a big beer selection. Its a good place to meet friends for a burger and beer. read more

Called prior to going in and they said they severed food until 10pm. Got off work drove 18 minutes to get there by 940pm and the guy at the front said they already had last call. Been here a few times but this will be the last. Dying bar. read more

The beers were excellent. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap was delicious. Our waitress was great. Lovely crowd and lots of fun. Highly recommended read more

Stopped in for drinks on Saturday afternoon and was lucky enough to get seats at the bar. Bartenders were great, very engaging and attentive. Fiancé liked her wine which can be hit or miss in a beer place. Beer was on point which has taken the State 48 brand a while to figure out (a story for another time). The Riptide Red is the best red ale I've ever had and trust me, I've tried a lot of them. Place has kind of a cool vibe going, better than some of their other properties. Why the 4 out of 5? I was really disappointed they don't have a Crowler machine. Yes, I could have gotten a Growler, but Crowler's are beginning to be a "must have" for any place serving craft beer. read more

Went here because original place we were going had a ridiculous long wait. We had some cocktails but my Javelina hefewizen beer was fantastic. I had the steakhouse burger with pepper jack cheese medium rare. Was a great burger and big. Came with French fries. Also had an order of the wings with Buffalo sauce. Very meaty and delicious. Others had the Philly steak sandwixh and fish and chips. Kids had chicken tenders. All in all really good. Would return when in the area. read more

Our waitress was fantastic. Food was excellent!! Joe, the manager came to our table to be sure we were taken care of. The experience was as good as it gets! I would highly recommend State 48 Norterra!! read more

I've been looking forward to this place opening for quite a while. I really like the other State 48 places I've visited. Today I had the steak wrap (with blue cheese!) I was great. half of it filled me up. I'm an IPA fan. I tried the low calorie Speak Softly and it was light and hoppy. I also had a Rough Rider IPA. It was great, but a bit high in alcohol for day drinking. The staff was friendly and attentive. The venue looks great. I'm looking forward to seeing bands here. read more

Had lunch with fellow colleagues. Good service and food delicious. Portions unreal. Had leftovers. Nice and cool.

Food was delicious, I had the Sonoran Burger. Our server gave great suggestions and was really nice. Will be visiting again in the future.

Great spot. The service is great and I love how they switch up the beers. The food is actually really good as well. It's a great spot to hang out. There's always a lot to do or if you wanna hang it's great as well read more

10/10 AMAZING service here. Joe was so accommodating to our party of 20 and the servers took great care of us. Will definitely be back! Thank you thank you State 48!!! read more

Unfortunately inconsistent. We came back after an exceptional experience before. The wait was short and the service was still excellent but the food was sub par. We both ate the same meal as last time but we were disappointed. My wings were soggy and the sauce only partially covered the wings. My salad was still great. My husband had the hot chicken. The chicken was rubbery and almost seemed undercooked. The bun was soggy and it just wasn't great like last time. This was a huge let down as we thought we found a great place- I guess it depends who is in the kitchen :( as we were leaving a live band started to play. It was VERY loud but they sounded great- it gave me house of blues vibes- so that was fun. I would still recommend trying this place and hopefully you get the kitchen staff that we had the first time around! read more

I went for dinner with my family last night and I want to shout out our server Alexis! She was amazing! She was attentive and very caring. She made sure our experience was one of a kind! read more

Went here for a late lunch on Mother's Day. It was not slow, but definitely not busy. Our service was terrible. Not one time did our server have a smile on her face - it was like she was forced to be there and was just miserable. That's a huge downer when you're with family, having good conversation and drinks. I had to get up a couple times to find someone, anyone, to request drink refills. The food was ok. Our table had our empty plates and trash on it the entire time we were chatting, until we placed them on the table behind us. This place has the potential to be something good - but it didn't seem like anyone (servers/managers/bartenders) really cared about anything. read more

I was here for my high school reunion and one of our servers sammi was doing a phenomenal job with taking care of me and the whole party. she was very consistent the whole time. the bartenders sierra and jay did an amazing job as well. read more

I recommend people to only get beer at this location and sit at the bar. Do NOT sit at a table. We went in last night for my brothers pre birthday celebration and went for dinner. It was not busy at all. Which is odd since it was a Sunday. Most places weekends are packed. We sat down our waitress seemed nice. Then once we put in our orders all the mistakes started piling up. My husband asked for the Nashville hot chicken sandwich also know as the hot chick on the menu. 1.) She said they don't have those kind of sandwiches at all just tenders. Okay? Maybe the menu needs to be updated and crossed out then? Just a thought. 2.) My husband asked for tots instead of fries so our 3 year old had options other than just fries. He's a potato guy. Guess what came out. FRIES. So she thankfully noticed once it came out. BUT: she said oh let me bring you some not let me get that switched out for you. He told her not to worry about it. She said she was gonna bring additional tots out. NEVER ONCE CAME OUT. And guess what. She charged us for it then asked us if we wanted to bring a box home. Are you kidding me that's absolutely disgusting who brings fried stuff home it never tastes good once you leave. Like why charge us for your mistake? Like is this girl actually serious?? 3.) My husband ordered a Mexican lager. She brings out a blueberry wheat beer of some sort. Not even remotely close. They are different in price and more expensive. Times are tough and we are pregnant with our second every penny counts. She tried to argue and say there wasn't a difference but once you ring it up you see that there was a difference. Even says on the menus. So those were just the mistakes. Now on to the food. Just atrocious. I think it's just the location. Because downtown Phoenix i was blown away and not pregnant when we went in either December or January before a show. The food there was amazing. The wings, the burgers and sandwiches. Service was insane but food wise was incredible. Happy valley location just awful. Not one plate of food that we ordered did i care for. I couldn't even stomach multiple bites of any plate. We ordered the fish and chips for my son and i to share along with Buffalo& citrus hibiscus glazed wings. My husband ordered the meatloaf melt. Not one dish. I was starving too. I literally had a protein shake the entire day until we got there. Do yourself a huge favor and don't get food here. Save your money. The fish and chips tartar sauce variation they give you is barf worthy it's so sweet. Lemon didn't even help the fish to make it taste better. I was like maybe it's just me since I'm newly pregnant but my husband tried it and was like OMG that's terrible. Even the fish alone was bad. The batter was okay. But the inside was just as bad as the tartar sauce. read more

Worst service ever. Lazy group that sits around and doesn't address customers... we were the only party in the whole restaurant and couldn't get service. Rude too. read more

It's a bummer that this restaurant thinks it will stay successful by relying on the awesome ambiance alone. That's the only positive thing I can say about this place. We rode our bikes to Norterra to enjoy some dinner, and wanted to try this despite the mediocre reviews. It seems people either love it or hate it, and my guess is the people who love it - are just drinking beer. Ordered the AZ mule (which was just a classic vodka mule) and it was the worst I've ever had. It seemed to me like it was the ginger beer; old and flat. But the woman who originally was our server who took our food and drink order never returned. Instead, 30 minutes later, a male server came by to say he was going to be taking over (@6:50 pm). He kindly had the manager take the mule off and I ordered a mango margarita instead. Another mistake as it was pure sugar, zero tequila, and not even salt or sugar on the rim. On to the food. Can't remember the exact name, but my fiancé got a Cajun like chicken and mushroom pasta. I ordered the ahi tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The food was ICE cold. My fiancé and I have a strict zero return policy. As in, we never send the food back and ask for it to be remade. First, because it's a waste, and second: you have no idea what they're going to do with the next one if they are frustrated they have to remake it. I don't think it wasn't the kitchen's fault, but the female server we originally had who just wanted to leave and couldn't care to communicate to our new server that the food was probably ready to be run for 15 minutes. The wasabi mashed potatoes were pure horseradish in flavor. It was definitely a gamble ordering this dish, and I'm sure if it was properly executed it could have been tasty. Then they had the balls to serve it with steamed/unseasoned green beans. The meal was $22. It was gross. The ahi tuna was cooked perfectly, I'm sure it would have even been enjoyable if it was even lukewarm. I barely ate half of mine and stole a few pieces of my fiancés for sustenance for the bike ride home. I ended up having to reheat left over Pizza Hut..yay Also, they had the Peyton & Eli on one tv that was delayed by 10 seconds and the other TVs were 10 seconds fast. So I would hear the announcer yell touchdown before I even saw it. Kinda hard to enjoy the game when you are hearing things happen before you see it This place will not make it if these are common first impressions. I will most likely never return because you have to at least get one thing right to warrant another chance. When you fail to be competent in drinks, food and service... read more

I want this place to be good so bad. But the service is just horrible. I don't blame the servers or bar tenders. Management has to figure out how to run this place. We arrived at 11:20 am. We're told they couldn't sit anyone else. Only the patio had people sitting no one inside. We waited 30min and we're told they couldn't sit anyone else because the kitchen was too busy to take anymore orders. We have tried over and over and every time the service is terrible. read more

After 15 minutes, not a single person greeted us. Go with gut feeling and left. Sunday night 7:00pm what a shame-

My plate was the left and the pics on yelp from another customer are to the right ... your chef is disgusting at the happy valley location. read more

Came here for lunch and this place is great. I had the Rodeo Burger and Caesar salad. This is the best burger I have ever had. The burger was huge and cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was delvious and could tell its homemade dressing. We started off with the hummus plate and for only $7 this thing was huge and delicious. Then left with a 6 pack of German Pilsner. Can't wait to come back when they have live music on the weekend. read more

Wife and I stopped here for lunch before shopping. Service was pretty good and fast but they seemed a bit disorganized. We were served an app we didn't order, heard the table behind us get the wrong side. My fish was really good, fries and coleslaw were ok. Wife ordered a shrimp salad but it was missing Caesar dressing, raisin, croutons, walnuts, and cheese. When we asked they said they didn't have any of those ingredients. I guess instead of them telling us they tried to service is just lettuce and ranch to get by. Not sure how they thought we wouldn't catch that. For replacement we got the totchos and they were incredible. Beers were very solid. read more

Great food, fantastic service. Just not 5 star worthy. We will come back. Great stop after a movie

I loved it. We went for lunch. They play 2000s rock/alternative. The burger was good, the fried Oreos were AMAZING. I think for a "pub" with their own beer, good music, and decent food it's worth the stop. These other yelpers are too uptight or something. - sincerely a 2000s scene girl for life. read more

I have previously given State 48 positive reviews. Today however, was our last visit. My wife's meal was room temp. I asked for a side with my fries, didn't come, by time it did my fries were cold. I ordered a second beer when food was delivered, after meal i had to go find waitress to ask about it, they were out, just not important enough to let the guest know?? We could have figured that out if she came anywhere near our table, i ordered hot chicken, the temp on mine was ok, but instead of a chicken breast like you would expect, it was a bunch of little chunks like nuggets or the bits out of the fryer. Disappointing. read more
