State Park

State Park Restaurant Review:

Located at One Kendall Square (in the lower level of the plaza), State Park draws an after-work crowd for its pitchers of old-style cocktails (like Tom Collins and Cape Codders) and tapas-like snacks such as fried pickled okra and beer nuts. Heartier fare includes fried chicken, blackened catfish, a chili slaw dog and barbecue chopped pork sandwich. The Southern-style restaurant also features sides of collard greens, creamy coleslaw, fried green tomatoes, and watermelon sprinkled with lime, smoked salt and chili. For dessert, share the Preacher Cookies made fresh daily that come three to an order.
