great fried chicken and service. fun atmosphere to catch up with friends

Very good food, drinks, and service! It’s much better than two years ago! Will come back again!

Always a great vibe. Service was attentive and helpful. Drinks are dope, food is on point. Brunch menu is delicious! All around a good experience. Cheers to the team!

we had a wonderful experience with the Chef’s Tasting Menu. you get the best seats to watch chefs while they prepare the amazing dish. we were family of four. The dishes were excellent, offering a perfect pairing with wine. The staff were incredibly accommodating to our kids, especially when some dishes were marinated in wine they provided a substitute. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and took the time to explain each dish in detail, making the evening even more special.

My wife and I recently took my sister and her husband, who were visiting from Charlotte, to State Bird Provisions, and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was a perfect blend of creativity and flavor. My sister and her husband couldn’t stop raving about how unique the food was, especially the bold use of spices. It was a hit with all of us! The ambiance was also fantastic. The space has a warm and inviting vibe that strikes the perfect balance between trendy and comfortable, making it a great spot for both special occasions and casual nights out. What truly elevated our experience, though, was our waiter. He was excellent—extremely friendly, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. He had such a genuine enthusiasm for the food and shared thoughtful recommendations, which we greatly appreciated. At one point, we mentioned we’d heard Ryan Gosling had dined here, and he surprised us by saying he’d actually been Ryan’s waiter! He even told us about the time Ryan came in with Eva Mendes and their two kids. Such a cool story to hear directly from someone who was part of it! State Bird Provisions delivered on every level: amazing food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service. My sister and her husband loved it as much as we did. We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend it highly enough!
