We visit this location often and are treated like family! Kristy and her staff are the best! They know what table we prefer (table 11!) and the servers even know our orders. Jen and the others are some of the best around and the food is always delicious!

Today we hosted our work Christmas dinner at State & Main, and we were beyond impressed with the exceptional service! With over 15 of us in attendance, everything ran seamlessly—from the attentive staff to the amazing food. A special thank you to Kristi, the general manager, who was an absolute pleasure to work with in creating our menus. Your hospitality and professionalism truly made the evening unforgettable. Thank you for helping us celebrate the season in such a wonderful way!

We experienced a very welcoming environment the moment we stepped in the door. We were shown comfortable seating and our server, Emily, looked after us very nicely throughout our dinner. Various other staff were quite friendly too as they passed by our table. We choose the Pacific Rim Noodle Bowl and the Grilled Steak Salad for our meal and were not disappointed. The servings were a good size and reasonably priced. State & Main is definitely of a higher standard than most chain restaurants, and we left as happy customers! :)

a nice spot with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. We enjoyed our meal, especially the fish&chips and beer. The food was tasty and the service was generally good. However, something strange happened during our visit. The staff asked us to pay the bill right when they brought the food to the table. It felt a bit weird because usually, you get the check after you finish eating!

Have been to this location a few times, and it’s always a nice time. Most recently, attended with a few girlfriends on a Friday night, service was good and attentive, but our server also allowed us our space to chat and catch-up without pestering which is appreciated. With that, while he checked in a ton on whether we wanted more cocktails, he never came around to refill waters. For food, I ordered the French Dip sandwhich with fries - the fries and dill dip are outstanding, every time! - the sandwich was just okay, a little disappointing, seemed a little stale / dry, and just not as fresh and tender as I’ve had before at other locations. My friends had the fish tacos and the Cajun chicken, which they said were good! The atmosphere is nice, typical lounge setting, with dim lighting and nice background music without being too loud. I was surprised it wasn’t super busy for a Friday night but overall it was a nice time!

★★★★

Love this place! A summertime patio mainstay for sure - the Pink State Mint and State Smash are super delicious and I don't think I've ever visited without ordering the Pretzel Bites. Cheese sauce is sooo good. Wish they'd add a wheat beer to the menu and it'd be perfect.

★★★

I have eaten here many times and had great experiences. Today’s take out… not great. Caesar dressing instead of dill dip & lettuce wraps that are very saucy and spicy! I have never had them spicy so I’m not sure what happened here but they are so hot I can’t eat them. Bit disappointed since this is my go to when I am in the area from out of town. Update: State & Main has reached out and asked for further feedback and has offered compensation for the order. Great customer service and feedback. Much appreciated! Kudos to the management team at this location!

The restaurant was completely full by the time we arrived but had no problem waiting for a table. It took a few minutes once seated for our server to greet us and take our drink order. It began to slow down and yet we were waiting around 20 min for our drinks to arrive. The Cesar was great, Sunshine state was pretty flavourless. The appetizers were great and came out hot. The pretzels were delicious but the cheese dip was nothing to rave about. The Shrimp were absolutely delicious, I do recommend those. We also ordered the bison burger and main burger which were both so dry and flavourless. Very dissatisfied with the mains. The server was very friendly when at our table however we did not feel the service throughout the restaurant was great (drink running, food quality) and left feeling very disappointed.

Ive only been there a couple times, but both times the food was just ok. It isnt anything you cant get at any similar restraint in town. The service was great, the vibe is nice for a dinner out. I would go again because I know what to expect from the menu. Highlights were the dessert portions are quite large, the food comes out hot and the place is clean and friendly staff.

This restaurant is fantastic. I love the atmosphere, and I find if it s not just the staff has me keep coming back, it s the food. The chicken sandwich is probably the best one i ve had in my entire life, and I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. I recommend it for first dates, and every date you take your new spouse on. 10/10 recommend. Parking: Lots of parking, easily accessible to the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible, wide doors, very easy to get inside via wheelchair!

We ordered two steaks medium rare for delivery. They both arrived BLUE RARE.. I am a chef so I know how these line cooks CUT CORNERS, did not check the steaks before pulling them off the grill, or they dont know how to temp a steak, and clearly did not let them rest because my wifes steak was still bleeding. This is very disappointing and whomever your head chef is, needs to retrain your line cooks on how to cook a steak properly.

★★★★

Came back here after 5 months. And I m going to say that it was disappointing. I ordered the same thing as before, the pistachio crusted salmon. But I now got a way smaller portion than as the first time I came. The service was a little less attentive than before too.

It was a 2 star that became a 5 star. Let me explain. Weve been to other state and mains before, and knew exactly what we were ordering. The food came out ok but not good. Not as per standard. I asked if there was a new chef working and described the problems. The owner came out and explained that for some reason their chef wasnt there and the owner was trying her best to fill in. She comped the whole meal. We argued it wasnt necessary but she said its already done. So because the owner came up and owned the mistake they get 5 stars and another chance. I will be back.

I would avoid the Tuna Poke Bowl. The rice wasn t sushi rice, the tuna was closer to canned tuna than sashimi grade. It was not a pleasant dish at all. Not to mention it cost more money then a good poke bowl from say taste of Seoul or Poke Box. The wife s Teriaki Rice bowl was good on the other hand. And our server was very good.

I usually love the food here, its my go to for the pistachio salmon, I rated it a three for the past quality of food. Todays take out was awful. I am order shortly after 6, it said it will be ready by 6:30, I got there just before then and waited 15 minutes. Got home only to find that the salmon is way over cooked, the mashed potatoes have changed and the asparagus was awful. I think the price was also increased, so $40 salmon plate that wasnt worth it. I will be hesitant to come back.

The hostess made a table for us right away but let us know that in an hours time they had some reservations booked. We were able to be in and out in enough time to make it work. Our food was served quickly, arrived exactly as ordered. Loved the pretzel sticks appetizer more than our mains. Portions were huge! Unfortunately, the meat textures were a bit off. Grilled chicken burger was a bit rubbery (slipped right out of the bun) Menu isn t massive - they definitely want to make a few things and do them well rather than loads of things. We d go back just for the service. Food wasn t incredible but not terrible either.

It was really just okay , somewhat sadly. I feel like it doesn t have much to help it stick out amongst the crowd. There isn t any food that you can t get anywhere else, and what we did receive was, again, just okay. The $20 main burger was the smallest burger I have seen outside of McDonalds, the tacos - while tasted fine - weren t anything special. Prices are too high for the smaller portions you receive. The fries I will mention were quite good and well seasoned, and the dill dip went extremely well with them. Service was good. While nothing was bad, it just wasn t enough to be extraordinarily good either. It wouldn t be my first choice.

Had a reservation for 6 at lunch for a birthday. All elderly ladies. There is only 2 regular seating tables and they were both occupied. All other tables were bar height, which we could not use. The hostess was not helpful at all. She suggested we wait in the lobby until one of the tables opened up, which was going to be a long time ,since they had just received their food. One of the tables realized our situation , ate quickly and left. Our server was great, the food was mediocre. I ordered the tuna bowl and have had better elsewhere.

Awful experience here. Came as a group of two. Our meals took a while and when we got them we found a PLASTIC MILK TAG in our entree... I let the waitress know, and she was super sweet and apologetic, but she called the manager over. The manager did not seem to care at all, and rather then offer us an apology, he just took the meal away. He offered a soup in place (which was TINY, and not very good), and then the replacement meal took another 30 mins. We were still charged full price for the meal (you would think they offer some sort of discount/rebate or anything to make up for finding a large chunk of plastic in our meal and having to wait over an hour total for an appropriate dish). Seriously a health concern, had we not noticed it before digging in.

The interior was beautiful, so it was a shame that they had tvs broadcasting sports.. But the food and drinks were very tasty! Our server was really helpful too. Vegetarian options: They had 2 options! A salad, and a veggie burger with sliced cheese.

December 22, 2023

There are much better options than state and main. DO NOT try the poutine or the jalapeño Mac and cheese. Way too much gravy and it doesn t taste like gravy (I could say more about the food). Not my first time here, I keep giving this place a chance but sad to say it s a disappointment! However serves are very nice and attentive!

I d say we were loyal customers to this location eating at least once per week. When going directly, we always had issues: our food was either overdone or underdone; wrong sides were always given. -For a few times we decided to let it go, ultimately working in this industry is tough. Then, we switched to ordering every other week and visiting every other week. It didn t take long to realize this location wasn t up to standard with the franchise. Our orders delivered through Uber eats would ALWAYS, and when I say always, I mean it, come either missing something or completely wrong. We decided to call the location to address it and we were given a coupon to eat there. If you can guess it when we went, they literally messed up our orders yet again. That s when we decided it was the last time there. We did not complain, we did not address it anymore. There s so much you can do with places like this one. We love this franchise, and their food in general is pretty good. That s why, even though we quit this location, we found that the Cambridge location offers a waaay better service, with great staff and amazing food.

Worst customer service ever. I went outside for a smoke after paying my bills while my laptop, wallet, external harddrive, wireless headset and my keys were left in the laptop bag. When i came back inside to pick my bag they told me the woman who was sitting next to me said she is family took it. When i told them i need to see their security cameras, they told me to wait and called Police on me to come and take me outside. Never seen anything like that before. It has been 2 days now and no call from anyone to update me on where my bag is.

My friend and I visited this location this evening for dinner. Service was a little slower than usual however it was a busy night on the patio so this was understandable. We both ordered the butter chicken. When the food arrived at our table, only one butter chicken meal arrived. I believe it was a Manager who brought the food and asked if we were expecting another entree. I explained that we both ordered the same meal. It was explained to us that only one was made and that they placed an order for the second which would be made high priority in the kitchen. It took approximately 10 minutes for the second entree to arrive at our table. By this time, my friend was already half done her meal. The butter chicken was great once it arrived. Once we were ready for our bills, we asked for separate bills. When mine arrived I noticed that nothing had been done to adjust the bill given the circumstance earlier. I politely and awkwardly asked our server if any sort of discount could be applied to my bill given what happened. She apologized multiple times and said she had thought her manager had already applied a discount. She went away to speak with a manager. Upon her return, she notes that she spoke with the Kitchen manager and that he stated the best he could do was a 20% staff discount and the reason for this is because I ate my meal. Our server apologized again and asked if this was ok. I said yes and thanked her. Being a loyal patron to this establishment I expected this to be handled way better than it was. I would like to note that this is not a reflection on our server and the poor rating for service is directly related to how the Kitchen manager handled this situation. Im not looking for any handouts but want to provide feedback so that similar situations might be handled better in the future.

But my biggest highlight was how amazing our server Tyler was, he was so friendly, helped out so well in working around my food restrictions and just overall made me feel so welcome there! Tyler s amazing service plus the kitchen s incredible cooking made State and Maine a 10/10 experience for me, I ll be back soon!

My family and I tried State and Main for the first time tonight. We had high hopes considering we have had multiple friends and colleagues praise it. We were seated at a long skinny table that was not only not conducive to conversation, it was also a constant shuffle with plates and drinks. The food was honestly so disappointing. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and the lettuce wraps. Pretzels were meh, the cheese sauce was gross. The lettuce wrapped were nothing to write home about. For meals my daughter got a chicken club she enjoyed it. My son got the kids burger and fries his was okay also. My husband ordered the blackened chicken. He said his meal was mediocre. I ordered a bowl that I could only eat a few bites of. My husband ended up eating my dinner reluctantly. Our server was nice but certainly not attentive. She did not see our empty glasses for drinks despite walking past our table several times. She also did not notice my husband eating my dinner or us waiting to place an order for a different meal. (I had every intention of paying for all the food we ordered) by the time she finally came around everyone else had finished eating and were waiting to leave so I didnt end up ordering anything else. I give 2 stars because the kids liked their meals, the wine we ordered was pleasant and the server was friendly when she was around.

Im a big fan of this restaurant. Our most recent experience wasnt as good as usual, but still great! We ordered the Empire steaks. My partner had mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side, and I had sweet potatoes and asparagus. The steaks were medium rare and a little over seasoned for my taste. The asparagus wasnt consistently cooked and the fries werent evenly seasoned. However, everything was fresh and had decent flavor. I still cleared my plate aside from some gristle and fat on the steak. My partner had a Stella and I had the Cucumber Colada. Both were delicious! Our waitress clearly had a lot of tables so someone else brought out our drinks, but she was quick with the bill when we wanted it! I do recommend this restaurant and the Empire!

I was so impressed with this restaurant. First when I made reservations I indicated that we had 2 guests that had hearing loss and therefore requested a quiet table. Although the restaurant is noisy (the only reason I gave it 4 stars for the atmosphere), our table was tucked back in a corner which was really helpful with background noise. Secondly, my mom ordered the lettuce wraps not knowing they were spicy and she could not eat them. The waiter and staff were so accommodating. She was brought a dish that she was able to enjoy and both the wraps and the new dish were taken off the bill. The waiter was so friendly, helpful and accomodating. The food was fabulous. The service was amazing. I will certainly be returning!! And if you like a bit of spice... The lettuce wraps, Bangkok bowl and the spicy honey margarita are all delish!
