My girlfriends and I recently visited State & Main for dinner and it was an amazing evening. The food was superb and the alcohol free cocktails were beyond yum. The dessert at the end of our meal put such a big smile on our face that we didn’t want to leave :) Beyond the food, was the exceptional service by our Server, Rylea who was the epitome of what customer care is like. Her warm, caring persona made us feel like home and is a perfect reason to head back to this restaurant location.
Amazing service. We were seated at the big booth for a birthday. The environment was nice and not to forget the food was delightful. We had the Calamari, Truffle & Shrimp Rigatoni, Bison Burger, The Empire State Steak, The Main burger and a poutine.
Food was fantastic! we only came for quick appetisers, and we shared the jalapeño mac and cheese and the pretzel bites. both are absolutely delicious. the atmosphere is very comfy and chill and i love the low lighting and the colour scheme of everything. i will say however that they seemed quite understaffed. it was extremely busy and there seemed to be only 3 waitresses, so the service was a bit slower than expected. they did a good job considering how crazy it was and how understaffed it seemed! i’d consider coming back and trying a main dish next time.
Service, food portion and taste were all 👍👍 Appetizers were all really good … good portion for it’s price ‘My son didn’t like the Mac & cheese Will definitely order Calamari and bang bang shrimp again for sure!
One of my favourite restaurants. Food is always great and staff are super friendly. This by far is one of the restaurants where I can finish and not take a to go box. The food has so much flavour and makes me want to keep on trying the rest of the menu! Highly recommended!
I had a great experience here! The server we had was named Laura and she was amazing and kind. First off we got the Margherita flatbread we asked for it well done. It was so good. We got garlic aioli sauce to dip it with the flatbread. Our server Laura recommend this non alcoholic drink it was delicious! I got the veggie burger well done with no cheese which tasted good and my partner got the chicken tenders with fries. They were really caution with my veggie diet and my partners fish and nut allergy. Thank you so much for your great service, will be back again soon!!
Came here for lunch and had a great time. The service was excellent, we were seated right away, and our server was quite attentive. I didn't get a picture of the brussel sprout appetizer however it was my favourite dish. The Jalapeños mac and cheese was on point just a little over cooked though. The pretzels and cheese dip were also very enjoyable, and the lettuce wraps were ok, not my favourite they had too much sauce and were lacking something. Overall, we will definitely be returning, it's a great place to got and enjoy some bar food with friends or for a date.
Venue & Service is A+. Food is really good too. But will definitely be returning. Fish Tacos were super yummy and fresh. Chicken, mashed potatoes and asparagus were super yummy!! Looking forward to trying other menu items:) UPDATE (JULY 2023): Returned for more! Drinks were made much better, I asked for extra sweetest and omg they delivered, so good. Fish tacos again, delicious. Everything so well done:) 100% recommend to all! RETURNED AGAIN (JULY 2024) Everything, so well done, yet again. Can’t go wrong here:)
great service,food was really awesome. I had the enchiladas my husband had. The truffle rangoo or something and we also had the pretzel bites. They were really good
Ordered Beef Dip and it was inundated with grizzle. Could not chew or swallow and had to spit out. Do not understand why a chef in a restaurant so highly regarded would have such a disregard for quality and serve food that was edible. Server told me I should have sent it back. Do not do that. Who knows what the chef might do to your food. Side Caesar was good. Portions are small. Manager should have come to the table and rectified the situation. Last time I eat at State and Main.
Had a steak but lots of grisle. Brean pudding was good.
Had an amazing experience. A great atmosphere that even when busy, is quiet and a wonderful place.to meet and catch up with friends, family or work colleagues. They truly care, so please if you are not in love with your experience let them know! Happy we gave the another chance!
Parking: Excellent service. Nice atmosphere. Parking space Plenty of parking
One of my favourite places for a drink at the bar or dinner on the patio. Great friendly service, good food, stocked bar and wonderful ambience. Make a visit soon
Ok so I ordered the Royal Bangkok Bowl, and presentation just looked very boring and plain, it did not look appetizing. Now let s get to the taste, it felt like something was missing, it tasted very bland and not a restaurant worthy meal. Moving on to the next meal that is a bit pricier and also not very tasty. This item is called Honey glazed Cajun Chicken. The chicken tasted very bland and not juicy and the glaze barely helped the god awful taste of the meat, the only good thing on the plate was the fries and the dipping sauce. Don t ever come here.
Sat at the bar for lunch today, and the food and service was fantastic. Bartender was personable, knowledgeable, and made sure I was looked after. Food was amazing as well. Will definitely be back.
Yummy food.
Waited 30 minutes after being seated at 6.15 pm on a Sunday. No staff, no service so left. Restaurant was not busy with many empty tables. Very disappointing and could not reccomend to anyone.
Amazing service!!
Great food. I wish portion sizes were bigger. Service was amazing too.
Waited over one hour for food to be brought to my table. The food itself was adequate.
terrible service
We were excited about trying a new restaurant, but unfortunately our experience was off from the start the moment we walked in. Despite standing there for well over 8 to 9 minutes not a single staff member acknowledged us, no greeting, no I will be with you in a moment we were left standing there, it just got really awkward and weird so we left.
I was a bit disappointed as they have a vegetarian menu but they didn t give it to the table when we were seated and I had to go through their regular menu to figure out what I could eat (I m vegan). It wasn t until ordering the veggie burger and finding out that they were out of the patties that I was then offered their vegetarian menu, which is their regular menu with chicken soy options instead of meat. This could ve just been listed on the general menu to be more inclusive. Or at least offer the vegetarian menu to all tables from the start. Don t assume everyone in your restaurant eats meat.
Had a great time here. Friendly staff, good drinks/food and nice ambience. Would definitely recommend this place for quick bite and drinks.
Food was okay. Chicken sandwich was dry and really over cooked. Tuna poke bowl was decent but too heavy on the sauce. Soy substitute for protein was good. Vegetarian options: They had a soy chicken substitute for protein. It was good and could be added to a lot of their dishes instead of meat.
The food was subpar steak was okay but my mashed potatoes were sour and soupy. There were flies in my drink as seen in the picture and whatever the white stuff floating around in there. Service was okay my husband said the bison burger was good. I probably won t be back.
I came in on Saturday evening with my daughter to enjoy a nice meal. And there was plastic in my daughter s burger while she was eating it !!! I don t recommend this location.
Really great place, especially love going here before going to a movie next door. Servers are always super friendly and helpful, food is great, and it has a very relaxed atmosphere. They also easily accommodated my last-minute request for a patio table. Also very clean! Highly recommend this restaurant.
Have to say that Ive never left a restaurant without ordering a drink. First time here and the place was less than half full. After 14 minutes no one had even taken our drink order, so we walked out. So much for an anniversary dinner! Wont be back here EVER!
Came here on a Thursday evening and there was only two people sitting at the Bartop including myself. I had just finished my first drink waiting for another. My glass must of been sitting empty for a good 15 minutes as the bartender kept pouring drinks for other tables and giving other tables their bills. I had to go grab her attention so i could get the bill. Bartender should be more attentive to people sitting at the bar.
This is our local haunt! We have been many times and with my wife being handicapped in a wheelchair, this is a truly accessible restaurant. The manager Mark has created a great atmosphere and this shows with the staff! Its always great to come through the door and see Shauna and be greeted with a friendly hello! They remember our names and our preferences. And Victoria as well, has been great to us all the time! Great food and great service! And good sized portions too. I love the Cobb Salad and the various items like burgers, fish tacos, and .... OMG ... the Bang Bang Shrimp! Yum! Highly recommended and especially if you are handicapped. They have a large, separate Family/Handicapped washroom which is easy to maneuver in. So ... great food, great staff, and great location! Go see! Recommended. Parking: Large parking lot on the south-west side of the Pickering Town Centre near the theatre. At least five or six handicap spots in front of the restaurant or nearby. Wheelchair accessibility: Flat accessibility from the sidewalk in front with automatic doors with push-button access. Inside the aisles are wide and the tables have posts that the chair can easily be pushed under. Patio is easily accessible too. Push-button access to a large family wasshroom, with grab-bars and a roll-under sink.
Got that chicken sandwich and it was just actually perfect.
Customer service was very fast, she was kind, helpful and most importantly she was happy. I appreciate your service her name was Victoria.
Victoria was amazing! Thank you for the wonderful experience! :)
Had an amazing experience at this specific state and main location thanks to Ang! Excellent customer service amazing food overall great place to come and watch any sport event. 10/10 will be returning soon!
I recently dined at State & Main and my experience was great. I really enjoyed the food, and the service we received was great! Angeli was our server and she was great, she went above and beyond to ensure our food was amazing. Would definitely come back again!!
I had the pleasure of being served by Angeli during my recent visit to State and Main. Throughout the meal, Angeli s attentiveness was remarkable. She ensured our glasses were never empty and checked in at the perfect moments to ensure everything met our satisfaction. Her friendly demeanor made us feel genuinely welcomed, adding a personal touch that elevated our dining experience. Would definitely recommend coming here!!
My experience was great, Angeli (our server) made our night more than memorable. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend the bang bang shrimp. Everyone should definitely go here!
Recently went to State and Main for a birthday dinner, and everything was fantastic! Angeli, our server, was incredible. She had great food and drink recommendations and always kept checking up on us. Definitely made my birthday a memorable day for me!! If you want to get amazing service and food, you should come here!!
Had a great experience dining here. The jalapeño mac and cheese with the Cajun chicken was amazing. Lisa was very attentive and took great care of us. Can t wait to return!
Lisa is the best
I came in on friday and had an amazing time! Our server daniella was super attentive despite the busy dinner rush. We got the bang bang shrimp based on her recommendation, it was so good! The drinks were amazing as well. Daniella made our experience feel like we were at a high class restaurant.Will definitely be coming back!
Stopped in last week for a quick bite before the movies. My friends and I shared a few apps, which were all a hit. The prickly pear margarita was really good. Kudos to Lisa our server for making our experience a great one.
Went for dinner with a couple friends. Our server was Lisa. Fantastic service, fast & friendly. We ordered bang bang shrimp & French dip with a couple drinks. Really good and recommend it! Were definitely going back if we can get a server that works hard like Lisa did.
We need more servers like Lisa. Lisa is doing good work. Thank you Lisa.
Hi. Our server was Lisa for the night and we ordered Honey Cajun Chicken i think it was with French dip and bang bang shrimp. Really good! Definitely going back. Also Lisa thank you for your hard work and quick service!
Went out for drinks with a few friends and had the most amazing time. Our server Isabella was extremely friendly and accommodating! Provided excellent recommendations and was very fun!
I had such a great experience here! Amazing vibe, and tasty food. Our server, Isabella, was awesome! Very kind, quick, and knowledgeable, really elevated the experience. I will definitely be back!
Lisa s fantastic service is what keeps me coming back. She provides genuine hospitality and really knows how to make an amazing cocktail!
Had a great time last night. We went for half price bottles of wine on Thursday and had some apps. We ordered the bang bang shrimp as recommended by Lisa, it was so good we had to order another one. Service was also amazing.
We love state & main. Lisa was a wonderful server!
Went to go celebrate my husbands birthday at state and main a few weeks ago and we had Cassandra greet us and provided excellent service throughout our time there.
I came in last weekend for some drinks and quick food with some girlfriends and was impressed by how welcoming everyone was especially our bartender Cass. She went above and beyond to make our experience so memorable and we will definitely be coming back!
I went to State and Main the other night and had an incredible experience. The highlight of my night was the fantastic drinks made by Cassandra.
Lisa was great!
Amazing service from Lisa!! Super friendly and the food was delicious!!
Lisa was my server and she was amazing! Always checking in and making sure we had everything we needed! Will definitely return
We went in for dinner last night. The food was great, but what really made our night special was the service by Lisa. She kept checking on us and making sure our drinks were never empty. We were very happy with the food as well!
Lisa was an amazing server and provided the best experience for our meal
I went to state and main and ordered the bang bang shrimp which was amazing. Our server Daniella was fantastic! Will be back
I went with my parents earlier this evening to celebrate their Wedding Anniversay. We had a great server named Daniela who took care of all our needs. Weve been to this location before and have had lovely meals there. On this occasion my Father ordered a medium cooked Sirloin and when it arrived it turned out to be rare. When we brought this up to Daniela she was very apologetic and said she will take care of us. Afterward a man whom we believe was the manager came out shortly with the steak further cooked with a side of fresh cut fries with his apologies and right there offered free desserts for the table. Needless to say we were very appreciative of their overwhelming gestures to right the situation. Thank you Daniela and the staff at the Pickering location for all you did. We will be back again soon!! BTW my Moms Sirloin was cooked to perfection and my Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl was scrumptious!!
New place very friendly. Food great.
Would like tp give a shout out to Arjun nice guy and was very welcoming and made the experience memorable...
I went for some drinks and apps with some friends and received top tier service from our server, Lisa
I m quite the regular at this establishment and the service is beyond exceptional. At the bar i am greeted and served expeditiously! My praise goes out to extraordinary work of the bartenders Lisa, Ang, and Kayla! I always feel welcomed by them. I also commend the swift work by the kitchen for their accuracy in completing my orders. Their kitchen manager is doing Gods work back there. By no means does this prevent me from recognizing the spectacular work and cordial efforts of the manager Noelle. I have never been to a restaurant with such an approachable manager. Lastly, as a retired dish washer/line cook, i provide my final acknowledgements to Genesis, thank you for your hard work. These people have made this location a regular spot for eats in Pickering.
Came with a group of friends. Food was great. Great service.
Me and my mom went here right before our movie and we had an amazing time. The restaurant s cozy ambiance instantly made us feel at home, and the food was absolutely amazing, with each dish crafted to perfection, The service was outstanding, with staff who were not only attentive and knowledgeable but also genuinely friendly and welcoming. Every moment spent there was truly enjoyable, making it a dining experience to remember, we also got the pleasure of meeting Noel the manger , and she was amazing with her positivity and warmth were infectious, making us feel incredibly welcome. Noel s genuine enthusiasm and dedication to ensuring we had a perfect evening made our visit exceptionally memorable. Her personal touch added a special charm to the already fantastic food and service, making the night truly unforgettable.#positive
Great Service and Yummy Food! Thanks Michelle!
Nice friendly atmosphere, staff were very welcoming. The lady running the bar, Lisa, was fantastic. Attentive and on the ball. Would recommend.
The food was incredible, as for the service, top notch by Cassandra, very attentive and super friendly. My favorite server hands down.
The blonde bartender named Cass was so amazing. She was very professional and had such a good vibe. Will definitely go back to this location just because of her. Someone give this girl a raise!!!
We love coming here for dinner, especially when Lisa serves us. I love the chicken tenders and my husband loves the bang bang shrimp. Food
Lisa was mine and my wife server, she bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable and looked after. Thanks again Lisa!
Wow! 5 stars. Best state and main I ve ever been to. And I live in Whitby! I drive further to go to this one because of the quality service by one of their staff Lisa. 10/10 fast, courteous, attentive, funny and always has a smile :) thanks so muchand have yourself a great day!!!!! :):)
Food was great, our server Lisa was fantastic. Very friendly and was on top of everything!
Always had Cassandra as a server or bartender always great service every time I come in.
10/10 experience at this state & main. I went for drinks with some girlfriends to celebrate my 50th and we had Cass at the bar who was not only fast with getting our drinks but provided us all unique recommendations based on our preferences. Her energy made our night extra special because she was both friendly and professional at the same time. I ve never had such a good cosmopolitan in my life, and all of my ladies said the same about their cocktails. I highly recommend Cass if you are looking to get quality cocktails, fast service, and an all around fun server to make your night special! Will absolutely be coming back on our next girls night celebration.
My family and I celebrated a graduation with a beautiful dinner. Lisa our server was extremely accommodating with our every need. Would return for future events. Thank you again for the great memories
Had a great experience, the service was fast and the staff were very welcoming. Cass is the best, this place is lucky to have her!!
Celebrated my brothers birthday couple weeks ago. Our party of 6 was seated quickly and never had to wait for our server to come around to check on us it was great. Prices and quality are top notch, I wish I came here more often. The only thing better than the food was our server Lisa she was great. Thanks
Went for dinner with some friends recently and had a 10/10 experience. The food was delicious and the drinks were served quickly. Our server Cass was so welcoming and did an amazing job taking care of all of our needs. Will definitely come again!!

We had an amazing dining experience, thanks to our incredible server, Lisa. From the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. Her attentive and friendly service truly enhanced our meal. We ordered the bang bang shrimp, which was absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Lisa s recommendations were spot-on, and she ensured our drinks were always full and our needs promptly met. The overall service and food quality were outstanding, and we can t wait to return. Thank you, Lisa, for making our visit memorable. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Cassie is the best.
Food is meh, place is decorated nice.
Went on a date with my husband and had an amazing night out ! It s hard for us to want to leave our little boy and have some time for ourselves but coming here was the best decision! Our server Lisa really made us feel comfortable and welcomed. She listened to all of our stories about our little guy , which really made us feel special. She gave us the BEST recommendations ( the pretzel bites are still on my mind ) & makes a DELICIOUS aperol spritz ! We will definitely be back for our next date night !
Place and service is fine but food is overrated. 6 people in the group, we all ordered a different thing and no one liked their food, don t get me wrong it was edible but overrated.
Came in yesterday and had Isabella as my server. She was very friendly and had great customer service skills, I felt very welcomed!
Was doing work in the mall and decided to have a sit down lunch with the extra time I had. Best choice I ever made, I was cheerfully greeted and served by Cass. The food is good for the price and the portions you get, the place has a classy yet casual vibe. Overall good experience but I will be returning just because of my server Cass!
My oh my! What a beautiful atmosphere with various food options. Our server Cass went out of her way to make our experience worth while. Thank you Cass for exceeding our expectations Would recommend to anyone who has yet to try!!
Wow, When my goldfish, Jeffery, passed away the other week, I knew I had to cheer myself up. I and a couple of my friends decided to have a dinner night out. Where did we choose? Obviously State & Main located in the lovely PTC area. We entered the establishment and instantly were greeted by the lovely Cass. Cass service was not just good, it was magnificent. Cass was able to make me forget about my goldfish perishing. In fact, during my visit I even briefly forgot about my goldfish. With her quick service and lovely attitude, I had an excellent evening with my friends. Thank you so much Cass, and rest in peace Jeffery.
Took my niece here for a lunch outing and was blown away from our experience! I was a bit nervous as my niece can be extremely picky with her eating habits, however our server Cass went above and beyond to accommodate and truly made our lunch so memorable. Cannot say enough good things about her - highly recommend, and will definitely be back
My friends and I recently got a drink and some appetizers at state and main before heading over to the movies. The service we received by Cass was excellent. She made some great drink suggestions and was frequently checking in to see if we wanted anything even when it got what seemed a little busy. Very pleased with our experience and will definitely be returning sometime soon.
I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here; the food was excellent, and Lisa, our server, was exceptional. She was friendly, attentive, and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout our meal. Her service truly enhanced our experience. I love the atmosphere of this location, would highly recommend!
Great food, chicken burger, Bangkok bowl, great service and drinks courtesy of bartender/ service of Lisa! The best! Thanks!!
Visited recently for the first time and we were served by Isabella! Fantastic service and experience.
Stopped in for dinner with our family recently - had a great experience with good food and excellent service from Isabella. We will be back!
Went for dinner here recently, and the food was excellent! Our server Lisa was the best, she provided amazing customer service. Will definitely dine here again.
Been to state and main a few times at a few locations. This one is our favourite, the food is elevated from your typical chain. Our server, Isabella, did an awesome job taking care of our family night dinner out (I think the table ordered a dozen diet cokes lol). Looking forward to going back!
This was my first time at any State & Main. Food was excellent but more than that was the server whose enthusiasm and smile were infectious. I believe her name was Isabella. I will ask to be seated at her table the next time I have a meal there.
Had an awesome time at State and Main. The brussels sprouts were so good ! I had the French dip, my friend had the fish tacos with the fries and the dip, both were top notch. Drinks hit the spot and our server Lisa was really friendly and attentive. Cant wait to go back !
I was in there last Friday. Megan was my server. The service and food was amazing! I had a couple drinks and Megan recommended the pretzel bites. The food was absolutely amazing! Certainly recommend her as a server and the food! Ill be going back again soon for more!
I came to state and main for lunch with a few friends, Meagan was our server on Saturday afternoon. Service was lovely and the food was excellent. Meagan recommended the sangria that was on special and it was delicious and we shared the bang bang shrimp, pretzel bites, and brussel sprouts. Everything was fantastic! Meagan too great care of us and her recommendations were awesome
I had a fantastic dining experience at State & Main. The food was exquisite, and the ambiance was perfect. Cassie, our server, was exceptional attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made our evening truly memorable. Highly recommend!

I freaking love this place. Lisa is the best bartender around. Shes on point. A rare gem in the service industry ! The food is amazing amd well priced. I live in midtown but I often find myself visiting this place in Pickering !
My son and I had lunch today, and we had the pleasure of having Victoria as our server. She was very attentive and accommodating, especially when my son changed his mind about his meal. He said he liked her jokes. We had the fish and chips, large fish portion with the delicious dill sauce for the fries. My son had the kids chicken tenders, which was also a large portion.
Amazing food, and even better service! The grilled chicken Caesar salad will be sure to make me come back again. Thanks Cassandra for your amazing service, Anyone would be lucky to have you a server!
My girlfriends and I had the absolute pleasure of dining here on the May long weekend. It was our first visit and, thanks to Arjun, we will definitely be back. Arjun is the type of sever who spends time with each table, provides feedback on foods, suggests food/drink combinations and gives you 100% of his attention. Based on his service, I will be visiting many times over and will always seek out his service. I hope management realizes the gem they have.
Laura is an amazing server! She was understanding with all of our order changes and was the best overall. always ask for her

I went here for an early Father s Day celebration with a large group. Our server, Isabella handled everything wonderfully and made sure our experience was excellent. Food was delivered in a timely manner, drinks were almost instantly being refilled when asked. Every time I thought about ordering it was as if Isabella read my mind and was right there for us! The bang bang shrimp was cooked to perfection, hats off to the fry cooks. Would definitely recommend this place!

Food was amazing, Lisa, behind the bar made me one of the best espresso martinis I ve ever had! Would go back in a second. Parking: Lots of spots
My hubby and I came here for dinner for the first time before our movie date and had a fabulous time! Lisa was our bartender who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for us. I m EXTREMELY picky about my dirty martinis however Lisa listened and made it perfectly. The food she recommended to us added to our urge of wanting to come back. We will be returning customers forsure! Thanks again Lisa!
My and some of my girlfriends went for lunch today, service was quick and prompt. I got the chicken club which was great, shrimp app was good aswell. Friends plate had hair pn it, was quickly fixed and compted on the bill
I had a great evening on Friday. Meagan was our server and she went above and beyond. She was fast, she was very friendly and made our overall night fantastic.
My husband and I dined here last Friday and we sat at the bar. Meagan and Lisa were our bartenders and they are fantastic, the service is always excellent! The food and drinks were great, we will be coming back!
Went there for dinner. Service was great. However the food was below average considering how pricy it was. The chicken was the most boring chicken I have ever had. The only highlight was the fries. My husband had the signature burger, he was not impressed with it as well.
It was a pleasure to stop in for 2 glasses of wine.
been to multiple locations, this one exceeded expectations as usual. our server was ethan, he was so kind and friendly! amazing server :) thank you for the great food and great experience. we had brought some friends to enjoy some good food and it s always so nice to have the servers make it an enjoyable experience.
Came in over the weekend for a family event and food was 10/10! Special thanks goes to our lovely server (Angel? Anjali - it was loud, could not catch) for making it such a special event for us. Will come back for the meals, service and atmosphere
Im a realtor and often take my clients out for a treat. Was here few weeks ago. Not much to choose for food on the menu. Under staffed. Long waits between service. Huge selection of cocktails. Overall, not worth the money. (No value for money). Better off dining at CHUUK Pickering than this place.
Had such a friendly server and the food was great! Honestly been to the restaurant twice in 1 week and was not disappointed. Food came on time and when my order came with regular fries instead of sweet potato fries, the turn around time to bring me my sweet potato fries was on point! Great experience and highly recommend for a great atmosphere and food!
Great place for lunch for dinner. Food was delicious and atmosphere was really good, for having a great conversation.
Cool vibe at this local restaurant and a great place to go to before the movies. Great service too, especially from Isabella.
Great service. Highly recommend.
Took my son for a treat this weekend and was really let down. Order our drinks and it took over 20 min to receive them. Had to ask the hostess where our drinks were because we hadnt even seen our server. Had about 3 different people serve us too. I had ordered a water with my drink and never received it the whole meal! The server even walked by and said oh yes, your water and still never bothered. Ive been here a few times and although the food is pretty good the service is always lacking. Especially compared to some of the nearby resturants.
Absolutely amazing!!! Great service Great food Chicken was so juicy Steak same .OHHHH AND THE MAC AN CHEESE to die for 10/10 (CHANGE OF REVIEW) WOW! Went back today (Feb 27, 2024) what a disappointing dinner.....Ordered Macn Cheese, and the Chicken...Chicken was terrible....Asparagus ummmm was NOT asparagus....mashed potatoes terrible....I am not sure if they changed chefs but will NEVER go back again....I was so sick when I came home...and FYI I sent back the Chicken dish only ate the Mac and boy my stomach ...
First time at Station and Main. Watch the opening ceremonies of the MLB All - Star game! Michaela was an awesome bartender host, very attentive. Upon recommendation from the bartender, we split an order of the Baja fish tacos and the tuna poke bowl! Outstanding! Seasonal beer on tap was Tank Waterloo IPA and Hop City North of 41. Always taste better from the keg! Went back again to catch the Maple Leafs. Shared the enchilada and had a 21ozer. It was more than enough food for two. Hayden the bartender was on top of everything! Back once again, and was able to sit at the bar and see the Toronto Blue Jays AND Game two of the World Curling Championships. Had the shrimp taco and the enchiladas! More than enough food for two people to share! Had the shrimp taco garlic aioli on the side along with the enchiladas lime crema on the side. Pretty tasty on the fries! Noelle the bartender was super nice and very attentive to our needs. There was no empty seats at the bar, and she manage to tend to everyone! Back again to watch the Maple Leafs and celebrate St. Patricks Day early! Had the Pacific Rim Noodle Bowl, definitely a share bowl. Nothing left, broth was very good! Had the enchiladas, but had to bring half home! Cheers to the Irish, here is my Guinness! Parking: Michaela did an amazing job, again! Super busy TONIGHT, not usually here on a Saturday night.
Came here for wing night and I have to say that I was really quite disappointed. The only highlight here was the pint of PINEAPPLE NINJA WHEAT which I had ordered. We had ordered a TITOS MULE which had no lime flavour, was weak, filled with ice so you couldnt even taste the ginger beer. The waitress did the absolute bare minimum and I am not sure why as it was not really that busy when we arrived. The food was deplorable (if you look at my reviews, you can gauge how fair I am to establishments). We tried the SOUP DUMPLINGS for a starter and they overcooked, dry and had very little liquid inside. Truthfully I wasnt expecting something fabulous had a main stream restaurant and ordering a very specific Asian appetizer but nonetheless you have to think that if its on the menu they should be doing mediocre decent job with it. This couldve been farther from the truth. Ordered 2 orders of wings - salt and pepper; this was actually worse. 8 wings the size of my thumb, over fried to the point where the meat was shrivelling off the bone and tough to chew - 1 carrot + celery stick. It was a bad experience and while I wanted desperately wanted wing night to be just good old fashioned wings and beer - it was far from it!
Nice place with friendly helpfull staff. Food quality was great. Of course a glass of wine at 16$ glass is challenging .
If I could give this place a zero I would. For the cost of what you are paying the food is not worth it anymore. I have been to this place a couple of times and it has gone downhill. Ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Nashville Hot. The chicken was burnt and the Nashville hot was more like Nashville NOT. The sandwich has absolutely no spice at all. The Brussel sprouts were not cooked through. We decided to skip dessert and just go home. I think the only good thing about this place was the server. He was really nice. Other than that I am sure that you can find a better place to go and spend your money.
Easily one of my favourite franchise restaurants in the area! The food was delicious, portions great, service was unforgettable! The ambiance was lovely and the Valentines Day special was well worth it. They were courteous and regularly checked on us, took our photo and even made us an extra pasta when we forgot our dish and came back 20 minutes later (we were in the area).
We had 8 for dinner. Our server was friendly and efficient. The first time for our group to have dinner here. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I highly recommend the salmon and everyones dietary requests were met. Thank you. My adult children say this is their go to restaurant now. Cheers Dietary restrictions: Restrictions were accommodated.
Food was good but potions were a little small
Went here for dinner with some friends. It was a summer evening so got to sit in the patio which was good! they had some specials going on. Food here is not very great, everything was the sweet side. Parm fries - only ting tat was amazing! and may be i will come back for more. Dragon boat lettuce wrap - average, it had sweet sauce Honey glazed cajun chicken - obviously its gonna be sweet but there was no cajun seasoning. felt like chicken was dipped in honey. teriyaki rice bowl - too sweet. Fish taco - only thing that wasn t sweet. it was okay. bang bang shrimp - was good. Service was good. Ambience was lovely.
The food was good. Service was good as well!
Not impressed. Portions were small for big price! Bison burger was tough and chewy. Too much batter on fish taco- very little fish. Will not be going back.
Love the Cajun chicken. Absolutely tasty. Only suggestion is to need a larger menu selection. It was tough finding what s good.
Great food nice staff ample free parking !
First time at this restaurant and was pleasantly suprised. Service food and decor all wonderful. I cant give it a 5 because the booth seats backboards are a little low and I found my back starting to get sore after about a hour. I will be going black
Good spot for lunch!
Overpriced combined with a limited menu, makes you further question the small portions.
Love the food here! The black bean veggie burger is amazingly good. We come here all of the time and are never disappointed! Great food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.
First time here ! Loved it . Server Lisa was full of smiles. Excellent service. Food was great ! 0 complaints . Restaurant is classy and clean. 5 stars all day .
The service was okay, the food was also okay. Im still not sure if I will be comming back here again or not. I have nothing bad to say at all! The pasta was okay, more on the bland side in my opinion, and I wish it were more saucey. The Honey Creole Chicken was good but I wish the portions were slightly bigger. The drinks on the other hand were awesome and tasted great! Their Jalapeno Mac&Cheese shareable was very nice and the hint of jalapeno definitely made the dish awesome and unique!
Lisa was a great server! Took excellent care of us!
That is a TERRIBLE picture of the restaurant. Change that picture! The staff deserves it!! Love the staff and food is great .but would like a rotation on a few items just to keep us customers on top of things .
The Pickering State & Main has become my go to restaurant. The food and service never disappoint! Today, I was serviced by Shauna who is top notch Shes friendly, prompt and her recommendations have never been wrong.
Small menu, noisy due to kids. Ambiance was nice.
I had an excellent time here with my wife and son. The food was cooked perfectly all around, it came hot and fresh, and the service was excellent. As an individual who enjoys dining out as a pastime, I find it incredibly difficult to find this level of service almost anywhere on a regular basis. Thank you for doing dinner right.
If you havent visit this restaurant ,your missing out ! Great food , great service , value for $ Social distancing at its best Food
This was my first visit to State & Main Pickering. I was very pleased with our server, she was fantastic. Food was good, maybe a tad overpriced for a restaurant located off a mall. Atmosphere was clean and modern. My only note would be to get big with Christmas decor. I barely noticed it was decorated for the season. Its a great place to go for happy hour with work colleagues but you might not even notice the place. I think Xmas is a great time to pump up the visual impact with abundant greenery. Get a commercial decorator!!
I ordered the dragon boat lettuce dish and when it arrived the lettuce was not washed and it had little Flys and bugs stuck to it. Disgusting and disappointing, purely lazy.
Hosted a surprise birthday for my mom there last night! The service was lovely and the staff were very attentive. They were also very accommodating on changes to my party and the management was so supportive
Really great service, really okay food.
Bad experience Overall on Saturday night. Servers not really attentive and respectful at all. Nobody even greet us when we entered the premises. They Took us granted even though we had reservation. Not recommended for larger group.
French dip excellent, good fries delicious,definitely will be back
Food was delicious but service was extremely slow.
Visited this location yesterday for dinner. Atmosphere was nice and the food was good. The service is what was lacking at this location. The servers were very nice however the service just took way too long. We placed an order for 2 appetizers and we saw a table in front of us be seated and receive their mains before we even received our appetizers which was frustrating. The same table also enjoyed their mains and settled their bill before we were even served our mains which again was frustrating. The food was good, appetizers were hot and fresh and mains were good, but the service is what really made the experience not so good. Not sure if we will visit this location again.
