  • We are here for opening night. As with any first night they are busy with a few glitches but nothing out of the ordinary. We started with the pretzels and beer cheese fondue. The pretzels are thick but not dense. I guess we are used to thinner pretzels. The amount of coarse salt on top was overwhelming. We found ourselves brushing a lot of it off. The beer cheese fondue holds up well but tastes more like queso than beer cheese. The whole grain mustard is the star! We ordered the beer cheese steak sandwich with fries, the half rotisserie chicken with corn risotto and green beans, and a kids cheeseburger and fries. The beer cheese steak was described to us as being prime rib dipped in au jus then topped with the beer cheese that's also used in the appetizer. What came out appeared more like it had all been dipped in the beer cheese fondue. It was very heavy on the cheese sauce. The fries seemed hit and miss. Some were soft and some were overly crispy (through and through). The half rotisserie chicken entree was very good. The corn risotto is so good I'd eat it as the side for any of the entries. The chicken was moist and the demi glace as excellent. The kids menu cheeseburger was lacking. The challah bread bun was toasted and the edge all the way around was very crispy. The burger came out without any condiments. Beware that they don't have any regular ketchup. They have a homemade beer ketchup that is a very thin consistency and hard to even put a finger on what it tastes like. We got mayo for the burger but my 8 year old granddaughter ended up not eating it. She munched on fries and sat at the corner of the pizza area watching them flip pies. By the way, the ranch is very very good. It's got a dilly taste to it that we really liked. We ordered two pizzas (a pepperoni and a 4 cheese) to take home for those that didn't come with. The crust is on the thinner side but not cracker thin. Although the pepperoni pizza could stand to have more sauce, it was very good. If you don't like basil, make sure to let them know when ordering. They put a basil chiffonade on both pizzas. Some takeaways from night one (and some of these things may already be in the works): 1. Need something for the kids to do. The kids menu is on the regular menu. Perhaps some crayons and place mats to color on or a blop of pizza dough to play with. My grand daughter kept asking if they had the table top game consoles like at some other restaurants. 2. Offer some regular condiments especially for the kids. The beer ketchup on a kids burger may not fly with most kids. Would have loved to see some dill pickle slices etc as well. 3. Perhaps offer a regular burger bun along with the challah bun and whole wheat bun. I believe I read a veggie patty offering is in the works, but it wasn't mentioned on the menu. 4. Management please go around and check the stability of the tables. Our table was extremely wobbly and easily moved. Drinks were sloshed around several times because of it. 5. State 48's menu seems very eclectic. I'd like to see some 'dumbed down' offerings like a standard burger or a build your own burger. Instead of two different entries using half chicken, perhaps one of them be a boneless chicken breast. I am sure we will be back. The first few weeks are trial and error for many things. I expect this rating will rise as time goes on. The west west valley is definitely in need of a place like State 48 Brewery.
