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:)

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.

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

December 15, 2024

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.

terrible service

October 22, 2024

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.

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.

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!

August 22, 2024

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.
