For our last night in Paige we stopped in here and had dinner. We arrived shortly before 5:30 and we were able to get a table. The staff was friendly, service was a little slow. However, they were busy.We had a burger and salad. Both were very good. The burger came.out hot and was delicious. The salad was fresh and tasty.There is plenty of parking out front, so that should not be a concern. If you get a chance stop in.
We ordered the Mac n cheese with boneless chicken, burger, caprese salad with salmon. Food was ok. The burger patty was thin and on the dry side. The Mac and cheese portion was big and we couldn’t finish it and it cost $20. The caprese salad with salmon was the best of the three items we ordered.
We had a great experience at State 48! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.I had the mac & cheese with pulled pork – it was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Truly delicious! We also tried the ribeye steak with fries, and it was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing.State 48 is definitely a great place to visit if you’re in Page. Highly recommended for both the food and the atmosphere!
Delicious and fresh food! We visited several places during our west coast tour and never had better service than in State 48. We asked to sit in the louder part of the restaurant, but you can also sit in a more quiet part if you want.
