    State & Main - bar interior
    Mike H.

    State & Main might be known for steak & mains but we went for some more affordable dishes ranging from Royal Bangkok Bowl to their Kids Meals. The variety here reminds me of the other East-West restaurants that offer some Asian inspired dishes. While the kids' brown rice bowls were quite tasty, their rendition of pad thai above wasn't as well-balanced. Similarly the apps were hit & miss as we enjoyed the Baja Brussel Sprouts with bacon but their $9 Wednesday Wings Night featured some disappointing wings that were on the smaller & drier side despite the blue cheese & ranch sauces. And although the food was relatively mediocre, their vibes and service were quite nice and I can see why the dining area was relative packed and the bar patrons were entertained. For birthdays, they were also kind enough to give a huge ice cream cake slice. We might have to try steak & sushi combo for a full experience next time.

    Fish tacos! So good!
    Nate G.

    Absolutely love this place. The food is super good for a chain restaurant and the staff are so friendly. The vibes are just warm and cozy. We go there at least once a week. The chicken enchiladas and butter chicken are so good for a chain restaurant doing ethnic-ish food My fav is the fish tacos, fish and chips, and the club sandwich Oh wait and Teriyaki bowl lol

    Main St. Mocha Pie...Sweet and filling.
    Johnny W.

    Not bad. Typical pub food. Calamari, bison burgers, chicken tenders, etc. Alright interior decor. Not bad service. Would recommend. Small parking area. But if you dine during peak hours or during the weekend, parking can extend throughout the rest of the plaza complex shared with Walmart, etc.

    i actually first visited the location out in kitchener-waterloo and had a really bad experience years ago...so i was a bit uneasy about checking out the vaughan location. however, im so glad i did! and i gotta say that the vaughan location is one of my favourite go to places! we visited over the summer so they had their full menu, but w.the new covid measures they reduced the menu and took off the calamari (nooooooooo!! pls bring it back! i dont even like calamari but i enjoyed it here oh so much!!!). service is always a solid 5/5. staff and management are super polite, friendly and wore their ppe properly. the restaurant has covid safety protocols in place. 6ft between tables and/or partitions in place. bathrooms are clean too! food 5/5. throughout all our visits we have tried the baja brussel sprouts, bang bang shrimp, dragon boat lettuce wraps, both their spanako flatbread and the margherita one, fish tacos, fish n chips, veggie burger, caesar salad and the westcoast chopped salad! everything was always made to order - hot, fresh and deeeeeeelicious! drinks/cocktails 5/5 decent listing of wine and cocktails. definitely not watered down and boozey! we love state & main!

    Two great desserts: Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding and Main St. Mocha Pie

    Our group was seated right away at a great table by a window with views of the TVs behind the bar (great for us to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics!). We were served by Emma - such a warm and welcoming person - who made recommendations for the Bang Bang Shrimp to start, and Shrimp & Truffle Rigatoni. A manager (Justin) came by and suggested we try the Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding in addition to our go-to Main St. Mocha Pie. So happy for the suggestion - you have to try the Cinnamon Bread Bun Pudding dessert! Meant to take a photo to show you the desserts, but they went fast!!!

    I stopped by for dinner with a friend and this location and it was definitely worth it! We ordered "The Main" burger, chicken enchiladas and the jalapeños Mac and cheese. The food was really good but the mac and cheese was easily the best dish. Our waiter was very nice and the atmosphere is great! Will definitely come back again!

    Chicken teriyaki bowl
    Celia P.

    Cute place to eat, the patio is really nice and not busy at all during lunch time. I got the chicken teriyaki bowl and my friend got the chicken avo wrap. Quite pricey for how much food you get but overall not bad.

    Kids Mac & Cheese. Best I've had!

We spoke to the manager weeks in advance and he had given us three options of a preset menu to pick from. When we arrived in a Thursday evening, the place was packed. We figured it's because the government has been wishy washy about clothing places down again because of the pandemic. So we didn't mind waiting. Except we had reservations at 7:30 and sat down at 8:15. It just kept getting messier from here Although we already discussed a present menu, we were offered regular menu and had to once again say we discussed a preset menu weeks in advance. Option of a salad, main and dessert. I won't speak for my colleagues but I wasn't impressed at all. I got the iceberg something salad. was literally an iceberg lettuce DRENCHED in blue cheese dressing. I didn't finish it. Then I ordered a steak and lobster. That was the only thing that worked for me. My steak was good through and my lobster was done right. For dessert, all I wanted was a cheesecake to which they didn't have so I literally didn't have a dessert. It was a pie/cobbler option or an ice cream cake option. But because it was a preset menu, each member of the party still was to pay the $70. Im glad my company paid for everything but still. I just wasn't impressed enough to say I enjoyed my experience. If it wasn't for my colleagues.

I have been to thier location in Mississauga and the experience there was exceptional in every way....But this Hwy 7 location close to 427 hwy was a nightmare and I will never be coming back to this location ever again !!!! FOOD 2/5  let's start with the food prep the middle aged afro-American man making my sandwich was dropping pieces of smoked meat on the counter on the scale then putting it back in my sandwich ..then he only put on one glove yet he was touching my sandwich with his hand that had no glove.  The food was thrown into container so carelessly that the coleslaw container lid was not closed and all the juices spilled out and soaked into my  sandwich bread all wet and soggy. The meat portion was decent but I did not enjoy the sandwich on soggy bread and the coleslaw itself was horrible in taste possibly not fresh . The stinginess at this place is off the charts!!! I asked for a pepper instead of a pickle and I got neither with my sandwich ...at the other locations you always get a pickle or hot cherry pepper with your sandwich ...then I ask for some mustard and she gives me a small plastic cup with less then a half of a packet of mustard in it as shown in my picture with a boat load of attitude on top of it. I got no napkins and no fork or spoon to eat the coleslaw with I had to return inside restaurant and ask for one that's how stingy this restaurant is with their customers. SERVICE...0/5 Horiuble service , attitude !attitude!!From the moment I walked in, the white middle aged lady does not know what the word smile means and greeting your customers in a friendly manner...she seemed to have an issue and attitude with everything i ordered . Extremely rude . Unfriendly and had no clue what customer service means .. This was a classic book example 101 of what not to do or how to treat your paying customers .for a sandwich and a drink with nothing else it cost me $22 plus tax so I would expect much better service and quality in their food prep ....the owner should fire these workers and hire new people cause I surely wood .  Stay away from this location not recomended at all!!!

But what can I say? I've never had pork that was as tender and juicy like this! It was so surprising cause the pork souvlaki from food courts are always on the drier side but not here! And the in-house tzatziki sauce? Mouthwatering! The portions (if you've not already heard) are huge and explain the higher price for a plate (around 23$+). If you're not too hungry, you can definitely split a plate. Despite the fast paced environment, the staff kept a good vibe and even offered to have me come back after eating to pick up my cheesecake slice so it can be kept cold until then. That to me shows they care about our experience dining at their restaurant. Can't wait to be back!

The place is a food court style seating arrangement so you'll have to find your own seat. Order and pay at the front as well, staff will clean your area once done. Each dish comes with a tray, prices for dinners are on the high side roughly $20-28 but portions are massive! The fries are pretty good, quite oily. Chicken souvlaki is not dry, flavourful as well. Got the fish & chips which showed two pieces on the photo but I only got one. Disappointing. Place is decent. Rating 4/5, would come here again and order something else.

The staff was genuinely warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. The food absolutely lived up to the ambiance. The chicken parm was outstanding, and the ricotta with wild honey is a must-order. Don't leave without trying the mushroom fettuccine either--it was phenomenal.

Upon entering I was really impressed by the view, I loved how the entire dining area is surrounded by windows, it feels like you're eating in the sky (you're on the 38th floor!). Note that it's around $20 for a window seat, which is a bit pricey in my opinion. Here's everything we ordered: Aera cornbread: This was the item I was most excited for! I love corn bread and this one was delicious. The inside was soft and pillowy, and the outside was crispy. The aged cheddar and honey butter were a nice touch that really elevated the dish! I could taste the pimento cheese inside as well, which I don't usually like because I don't like the taste of bell peppers, but I still really liked it. Maritime lobster spaghetti: This was rich and delicious! I could really taste the lobster bisque and lobster butter. It also had a decent amount of lobster in it and the portion was huge. I did ask for chilli flakes on the side because I love a kick. Rigatoncini: This one disappointed me a bit. I felt like it was missing something, the sauce tasted quite plain. We paid to add chicken but it was quite flavourless and bland. Amelia cocktail: Very refreshing and citrusy, would definitely get this again. Our waitress was so sweet and brought us free brownies because it was his birthday! You're definitely paying for the view and ambiance but I think it's perfect for a nice dinner. I'd want to come back to try their sushi/sashimi as well as their sticky toffee pudding.
