About the restaurant

The State restaurant is a casual & comfortable dining experience you can enjoy your favorite foods, small batch whiskeys, craft cocktails & beers with friends & family. The joint venture began with Southern California natives that pooled their collective life savings and began work on their dream concept: The name pays homage to the restaurant’s first location on State Street in historic downtown Redlands.

Love this place and the ambience! Service was a little slow but we were okay with waiting and not being rushed. Food was delicious, smaller portions but that’s probably how it should be! Lol

We had reservations and they sat us right on time. Our server was Jackie and she was very attentive and even brought me a hand held menu because I’m blind and reading on my phone was a mess lol. She checked on us often and was on top of it. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. The State Rancho is definitely my go to for a great meal in a fun atmosphere.
