This is a pretty decent restaraunt. Nearly identical to original joes. But then again it may be part of the same franchise. Great portions, well priced. Decent service. Wait time is a little laggy regardless of whether or not its busy. Over all ill give it 1 thumb up and a half. lol

Love State & Main! Obviously Wine Wednesday is an amazing day for most vino lovers, but the food is always top notch as well! The only complaint I’ve ever had is that sometimes the service isn’t the best; however, sometimes it is amazing so I will continue to go back!

A nice little restaurant. The food is good, but not spectacular, and I wish that they had a larger menu. The food tends towards«safe», which can mean«bland» if you hanker for more variety. So far the butter chicken has been my go-to dsh here, and there’s not much reason to change it up. On the other hand, if you like fancy cocktails, there are a lot to choose from! The service, on the other hand, is very lovely, and the waitress even dealt with my ridiculous and exacting mother-in-law with courtesy and grace.

I have heard a fair bit about this place. Eventually got a chance to go. Not disappointed not overwhelmed. State& Main is the type of place that works very hard to be a notch above some of the other restaurants in its niche. They offer a good selection and very generous portion sizes. The best way to sum up State & Main would be it is a better than safe bet. There will be something for everyone and the service strives to be as good as it can be. While I endorse State & Main, I was hoping something would stand out as amazing but nothing really did but that is exactly what this place is about. They offer up good food and drink but nothing so distracting that it takes away from visiting with friends or having a nice social experience. More than anything they seem to want a nice social atmosphere where you are comfortable, don’t have to worry about issues with your meal and make you feel good enough to come back. I certainly will, as it is a nice alternative to the many tired restaurants that have gotten lazy as of yet.

Came here for lunch for the first time with a couple of old friends before our spa date. We asked for the patio so we could enjoy the beautiful weather. My friends were still a little tipsy from the night before, so a little hair of the dog was in order. I decided to join them in a breakfast caeser, which was delicious. Mine(a single) had a long bean in it. My friend ordered a spicy double and got a pepperoni stick in it. The other two ordered… margaritas, I think? They were Slurpee textured and pink. Also delicious. I loved the menu – Great variety! It made deciding rather difficult. Lots of appetizers, entrees, salads, soups, burgers, snacks and brunch items, all on one page. I especially liked how there were traditional items such as steak and eggs and chicken wings alongside more exotic fare such as Bang Bang shrimp and fish tacos. Our appetizers were salt and pepper wings, lettuce wraps and tuna tar-tare. We had to rethink our main meals, because the appies were fantastic and we were already half-way full. I had the eggs benedict with tomato and bacon. THAT came with an option of five different ways to have it, and Jen ordered hers with spinach and cheese. Jody had a burger and Natalie had a caeser salad. I suppose the main dishes could have been a little bit better. The caeser had too much dressing, and the burger patty was of the frozen variety, not homemade. Jody didn’t like it at all, but said her fries, cucumber dip and coleslaw were great. Still they didn’t charge her for it. The hash browns that came with the bennies were also of the frozen variety, but the eggs had so much beautiful flowing yolk to dip the hashbrowns in, I didn’t really mind. Plus they were well seasoned. I suppose we could have asked our waitress about those things ahead of time. She obviously knew the menu well. In my opinion, the food was a little above average, and the prices were decent. I would try this restaurant again. Shout out to our waitress. I forgot her name, but she had a long blonde ponytail and freckles. She was a six out of five. Fantastic server. Our water never went dry, our drinks never went dry, and she was efficient without being intrusive. We were a boisterous group of women drinking before noon and we had a lot of catching up to do. She made our visit very pleasurable.

I came here for a work lunch and it was an enjoyable experience. Service was not super fast but acceptable. Atmosphere is quite nice and modern feeling although the tables are fairly close together, which might be more of an annoyance if particularly busy. I had the veggie burger which was pretty tasty and I especially like the hummus and brushchetta toppings. It also came with a choice of two sides. I chose green salad and yam fries but there were a number of choices. The menu appeared to have quite a variety of options which I really liked, and although there weren’t many vegetarian options, it looked like a lot of dishes could be made vegetarian if requested. Overall I left with a positive first impression of State and Main and would likely return again.

steak came out wrong the first time well done not medium rare like i ordered when it did come out, there was no seasoning on it, and it was very bland tasting… tried for a first time, and most likely never go back there
