A welcoming contemporary restaurant with a touch of rustic charm, State Street Provisions is today’s answer to the taverns that once offered respite to the fishermen and tradesmen who worked in Boston’s bustling Long Wharf. Historically inspired but forward thinking food and drink menus feature fresh ingredients from near and far, while the comfortable space meets the needs and passing fancies of residents, workers and visitors alike. State Street Provisions is located at the intersection of State Street and Atlantic Avenue on Long Wharf, one of Boston’s most storied landmarks. Breaking ground in 1710, the Wharf was a vibrant hub for the Colonial U.S. shipping industry and originally extended nearly half a mile from the shoreline at Faneuil Hall.

Had a great Thanksgiving experience at this restaurant! The staff were incredibly attentive and ensured everything went smoothly. While the food could have been a bit hotter, it wasn’t a big deal considering how busy they were and still tasted amazing!

Our server (sorry can’t remember her name) was very nice and was clearly very knowledgeable about the menu. I am coeliac and require gluten free food and the Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious. They even had gluten free beer which was an added bonus. My wife also really enjoyed her black and blue burger. Well worth a visit and we’ll hopefully return the next time we’re in Boston
