Reviews for State Lunch in Augusta, ME
This was an epic brunch. You need to visit and try the chicken and waffles. We have had them in numerous locales. Screen Door in... Portland OR was always the one we talked about but no longer. If you are in Augusta do yourself a favor and go here. It is offthe charts! Read more
Traveling through from Chicago (and my partner from Indianapolis) we happened upon State Linch looking for a late lunch on our... way to the coast. Although it was hard to tell it was anything more than a nice bar from the sidewalk, the coffee shop acrossthe street kindly recommended State Linch among other local spots. Stating it was a ?slightly upscale unpretentious gastro barwith an award winning menu?. We couldn?t pass up a recommendation like that and jetted across the street. I ordered the red Thaichicken Ramen with chili garlic oil and he ordered the State Lunch Burger. We split both. The burger was the most flavorful,juicy burger with the perfect amount of crisp char and placed on a bun that was light but held up to the burger with a wonderfulaoli. The garlic, pepper Parmesan fries were amazing. The ramen was full and flavorful with the right balance of kick and thechicken was so tender. We literally drank up every drop. The kicker was the selection of local brew on tap and they sent us upthe street to buy a 4 pack to take home. A quaint town and incredible food. This was well worth the trek off the beaten path.

State lunch was a wonderful lunch experience. My friends and I were traveling through on a hiking adventure and randomly chose... here. We couldn't have made a better choice. The drink menu had plenty to choose from and the menu was well balanced withchoices. We tried the bao buns pork and tofu, beautiful! The buffalo chicken wrap was the special, P's hot chicken andmuffaletta. Everyone loved their meals, the fries have a delicious seasoning and are plentiful. The portion to price ratio isvery reasonable. The atmosphere was chill and the staff was kind and accommodating. No complaints or concerns to be found.Enjoy!! Read more
The absolute best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had! So glad it was the special the day I went. The all American looks... very intimidating but enjoyable. Read more
1st time visitor - my wife and I stopped in for lunch while shopping in Augusta. The place was packed but we only ended up... waiting a couple of minutes. The waitress set us up quickly with menus and returned for drink orders quickly. My wife got thespecial margarita that featured ginger, strawberries, and white peaches - she said it was really good. I stuck to a localCushnoc porter, also good. She ordered the fried chicken sandwich and I got the cheeseburger. The food arrived hot and ready ina timely manner and we dug in. We both remarked at the pile of fries that each plate came with...hot, crispy, salty, garlickygoodness! We both thought the food was tasty and agreed we'd try this place again. Two thumbs up! Special callout to the waitstaff who were super attentive and checked in to make sure our meal was to our liking! Read more
This place is a hidden gem!! The atmosphere was so cool. As my hubby and I were seated, Dirty Dancing played on one of the TV's... and another movie I didn't recognize but with a lot of actors in their younger years. The drink I got was called "The MollyRingwald" and it was delicious. My hubby ordered their chicken and waffles and the waffle even had cheddar cheese in it. It wasAMAzing, order it for sure if you go! I ordered the ramen and it was yummy, but I liked the chicken and waffles better. We alsoordered the pork belly bao buns and they were perfect. So tender and salty deliciousness. Hit the spot for sure and we will beback! Read more

Last year we came to State Lunch for my birthday. I always wanted to try Raman (not top Raman from the supermarket). I was not... disappointed. The staff was friendly and I liked the atmosphere. Fast forward almost a year, and we went back today(11-26-2022). This place still does not disappoint. I didn't have their Ramam this time, but considered it, instead I had aChicken and Waffles special. I have had Chicken and Waffles at other local places, but this one was probably the best. Thewaffles were soft on the inside and had a slight crunch to the outside. The chicken was fried, but not too battery and a hint ofheat. So good. My wife had a couple of BAO buns with pork belly. They were very good. She also had The Tin Man's heart drink.She said it was fine, nothing memorable. I had the Upside Down off the seasonal drink menu. That was very good (I actually had2). Very smooth and quite creative. Typically if I have a positive review I don't mention anything that they could improve on,but this time I will. With the chicken and waffles they could have a little more syrup. They could also have added a hint ofheat to the syrup as well. This is a place that we will be going back to, and I have to say that I am disappointed in myselfthat it took almost a year to go back. A great place for a snack and a drink, or for a nice different meal. A must try. Read more
