The grilled Cheeseburger is delicious and the have the best Ceasars in town, And great staff!!
Went on a date night here for the first time last night and I really really enjoyed the customer service and the food! The server was super awesome and professional and the good was really great too! Very happy! �
Awesome all around except one tiny issue. Apps took a bit to arrive, only 10 wings and a salad, when they finally did the main came like maybe 4 minutes later. We were maybe half done with the apps. I didn't mind all that much as I was starving but I can see some others frustrated with this. Other then fricking amazing service and food!!!! 4/5

I love the place. Always friendly people and very nice atmosphere and it's nice that they get to know you and remember. This is my all time favorite place to go
Was there last Friday. We are never disappointed and always get "our table" in the lounge. Even the waitress recognizes us. Good food and atmosphere.
We absolutely love the Veggie Burger!! I've heard that everything on the menu is spectacular... Might have to try something new one day!! Excellent quality and awesome service���
Good food, good drinks, and good service. What more can one ask for? Prices are very fair for what you get, and the food is always awesome. Dragon boats, fish and chips, etc all good choices. The Pacific Rim soup is really really good 😊
Basically Original Joe's East! Alot of the same menu options. The staff here is excellent. Cozy place for a date night. Happy hour 3-6 offers great prices on regular menu items. Will definitely be back.

We tried State & Main today. It's a nice, big space, handy to the mall.
At noon on a Saturday we were received with a friendly welcoming chat, and we were seated immediately.
Our server Sherie was delightful. She was genuinely personable and helpful. We enjoyed having her as part of our dining experience.
My friend had the Pacific Rim Noodle Bowl which she LOVED! The portion was generous and so delicious, with just the right level of spice. Nan bread provided a great accompanying side.
In attempting to discover the best Eggs Benedict that our fair city has to offer, I tried State & Main's. I liked that gluten-free buns were available. The eggs were nicely cooked. The Hollandaise sauce had a hint of a spice that made it taste a bit different from what I've had elsewhere. I wish there had been more of it to soak up the buns with.
The meal was accompanied by fruit on a skewer, and a good serving of "tots"; the potato variety--from the frozen food section. It was okay.
I would not necessarily order the Eggs Benedict again, but I would return to try the Veggie Burger or some of the delicious sounding sides and extras.
I always come here it’s the place to go if you don’t know where to go. The new happy hour they have is amazing and all the servers are good but one. They always take good care of me and my lady so I keep coming back. The food is always good and the breakfast is also nice.
Went here one night during December...staff were very polite.. and drinks were awesome...lots of items has jalapeños which was different. My partner had the steak sandwich with a salad and jalapeño mash potatoes. I had the mac and cheese with jalapeño. We both really enjoyed our meals and would go again. More pub style food, though they do have full meals as well
French onion soup
Spaniko flatbread
Yum! Yum! Yum! Good service. Great food. Would prefer to pack my own take home but other than that, it was a nice lunch.
When I had the burger here I thought it was one of the best burgers I ever had. The ambulance is very nice and relaxing. Will be back to try other menu items.
Nice place to grab lunch, dinner or even brunch when you're hungover Saturday morning! Very compatible to Original Joe's in almost every aspect. Service is great, food is great, patio doesn't get much sun but other than that no complaints
Nothing beats brunch at State and Main, French Toast with Bailey's. Absolutely to die for! Sad there's only one location in the city, but it's worth the drive over! Gorgeous patio as well!
The only thing better than poutine, is poutine with more toppings! The butter chicken poutine is my go to appetizer, it's almost a meal in itself. Wicked flavour, piled high! Always amazing service, highly recommend,
The food is always super good and so is the service. I love all the sides that you get. It's a little dark inside but still a great place.Servers are always friendly and the know the menu well.
OMG. Place was awesome! I had the pulled pork sammy, side of jalapeño mash potatoes and Caesar salad, that had real bacon and real parm. Everything tasted great. My new favorite.
Love it here!!! Great drinks! Great servers! Love going here for brunch, watching games, and sitting on the patio in summer! Great bunch of staff!!!
SwizzleStyx. I've been here several times now and have enjoyed my food each time. The lettuce wraps are tasty, the bang bang shrimp is excellent, the fish tacos were very good and they make a very mean Caesar! I've had hit and miss service which was great a couple of times and a bit slow a couple of times. The atmosphere is nice and fun and the restaurant is very clean. I would recommend trying it out!
Great food and nice ambiance. I order a burger with some sides and when all is said and done I had to take some of it to go. It was delicious but I could not eat any more of the delicious food. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
After my first visit I was impressed. After my second visit I was blown away with the service, food, atmosphere and it is now my go to place with my best friend for our girls night out! Fantastic!
Wine night tuesdays!. Great food and atmosphere. I love coming to see my favorite bartender Drew! He always makes sure that we're taken care of and having a great time! Definitely come on Tuesdays for half priced wine! The best!

Liked everything except the dark atmosphere.. I get that it's kinda trendy to have really dim interiors, but this was annoyingly dark. My friends and I came out blinking and squinting like we'd been dining in a cave, and it was overcast outside, not even sunny!
Anyway, what matters is the food and service and both were great. Within our group we ordered the Mac n cheese, the fish tacos, a Reuben, and a burger and everyone liked their food. I really liked the array of side dish choices. I had a cilantro slaw that was quite good, but needed something so I added in some salsa...it worked. I don't think they are particularly kid friendly, but I'm ok with that. Will go again.
***update...This place seems to be taking a turn for the worse. My husband and I went again in September 2014 and the experience was barely ok. The service was terrible and the restaurant was not anywhere near full. The wait for everything was far too long and the food was not as good as the first time and was unevenly plated (one taco had plenty of filling, one was a bit anemic and the third had barely anything in it). Also the portion of sweet potato fries was very tiny. Disappointing.
I like to go here with my friends for wings. My girlfriend doesn't really to come with us. I usually order the wings even though they're a little expensive, you don't get very many and they usually empty my intestines. They taste pretty good though. This is one of the best breastaurants around. I wonder if management realizes it's good likely wouldn't stand on its own therefore makes it's 19 year old waitresses expose as much flesh as the law allows.
Huge portions and delicious food. State and Main is similar to Earls and Moxies, but better. I had the beer can chicken and it was very tasty. I was impressed by the portions considering the chicken took up most of my plate. For the price, this is a better deal than similar restaurants. The servers were friendly, there were many options on the menu, and the drink specials were good too. One of the best things about State and Main though was the atmosphere. There are big-screen televisions everywhere, so if you want to watch a Jets game with a group of friends this is the place to go.
The food at this restaurant was pretty good for what it is, and the variety on the menu was extensive and somewhat unique for pub fare. the atmosphere was loud and noisy; even though we sat at the restaurant and it was kid friendly, it was a lot like a pub in there anyway with TVs all around the wall and the Jets game blaring.
Great food and experience. Great mainstream food and so many appealing menu options. The wait service and level of hospitality here are consistently excellent. Fair prices, late hours, and nice atmosphere. A more central location would be awesome.
Positive addition. Overall, my experience was excellent. The service was great, I liked the look of the place, and the food was tasty - exactly what you would expect from a place like this. Initially, I expected more from this place, the name sounds higher end, but regardless, the I would recommend the place..a great addition to KP.
Awesome, awesome and awesome.. This place is awesome. I'm very pleased it was added to Kildonan Place. The french fries are great and the sweet potato fries are GREATER (I usually don't like sweet potato fries because they're always soggy or just bleh). Most of the dishes come with a hefty amount of vegetables that taste fresh and make me feel like I'm not just eating carbs and meat (particularly in the noodle bowls/stir-fry like dishes, but the fish tacos and others too!). There are some fun drinks and staff are very friendly, love the service.
Great atmosphere and again, very happy with this addition to this mall.
Went to state and main about a month ago after being recomended by a friend and absolutely loved it. Me and my girlfriend really enjoy trying new restaurants but when we can't decide where to go, state and main is always an option. The service was very good. The wait times are always reasonable even when it's busy. The options are great and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We will be coming back many more times.

It took a bit of a wait to be seated. Once seated the server took our drink orders quickly. When she brought them out, we were ready to order but she put the drinks on the table and took off before we could utter a word. There was at least 15 more minutes before we could get her attention. Once we ordered, the food came quickly. My sister had the lettuce wraps. I sampled it and it was quite flavourful. I had the steak sandwich with fries & gravy and the ginger cilantro slaw. I also ordered the grilled onions and mushrooms. While I ordered the steak medium well, it came well done. Luckily it was still fairly tender. The onions and mushrooms were done to perfection. The fries looked pale but turned out to be nice and crispy. The gravy blew my mind as it was actually hot-which I don't think I've EVER had. But the slaw was TO DIE FOR! It was shredded nice and thin with a nice vinegary dressing and the cilantro made it taste so fresh! I didn't really detect the ginger though. I would go back despite the inattentive service.
Good place to go with friends, especially wine nights on Tuesday. The food is like any other typical Moxies, Earls, etc. The service is a very big hit and miss, too inconsistent for me to be happy about it. It's either really great or non-existent. So basically go there for drinks and apps, but I'd go somewhere nicer for a dinner date.

Like Original Joe's? If so, you'll like State and Main as they the same restaurant with a few differences in menu items. One big difference though is the service. The OJ's on Kenaston has always given superior service regardless of day or time. This results in our servers receiving a substantial tip. I went to State and Main on June 22nd. I didn't tip. We arrived at about 2:00 pm and from what we could see, the restaurant side didn't have more than 5 people at tables. So we waited about 5 mins for someone to seat us. Took at least 10 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered an Ice tea, a lemonade and a Little Scrapper. We requested "no avocado" on one of more meals. It showed up with avocado. We pointed it out to our server who apologized, took the meal, and came back 30 seconds later with the avocado scrapped off. That's just wrong. I asked for the chipotle dip for my sweet potato fries, I received dill. We asked for a refill on the ice tea but that didn't happen either. Overall, food was good but service was atrocious.
Went for my birthday and was pleasantly surprised with the staff, food and drinks. Everything was delish and service was ok!

Nice Addition to the Upscale Casual Restaurant Scene. I went here for dinner and I enjoyed my visit.
My best description of the place is that it is Original Joe's better dressed brother. The menu items are very similar to those at Original Joe's. I believe they may share the same owners. State and Main is a much nicer setting. It has a separate lounge and the decor is more..well...stately than Original Joe's.
The service was prompt the night I was there. My server was very friendly and was quick to get drink refills. The place was very crowded, but I didn't have to wait very long for my meal to arrive. I have read other reviews where people were served cold food. They have either improved or I was one of the lucky ones, my food arrived at an appropriate temperature...hot.
I had the beer can chicken and ribs combo. It was around $23-$24. I liked the bbq sauce on the ribs. The chicken was quite moist and flavourful. The chicken looked like it was overdone, but it was not. I guess it was just the way the rub caramalizes. Dinners come with a choice of two sides. I appreciate the variety and I didn't walk away hungry.
The menu has a large number of choices.
If you are looking for something a bit fancier than fast food in Transcona...this place is an excellent choice.
I love it. The food is great, the service was excellent. They did mix something up on my order but cleared it up right away. I reccomend trying.
Went in to watch the game Tuesday night, sat at the bar top and had an amazing night! It was 1/2 the price for a bottle of wine, the sound of the game was on, the bartender was friendly and provided great service. We started with the fish tacos (delicious), then had the braised beef short ribs (great fall of the bone) with sweet potato fries and cedar salad and the Cobb salad (semi-healthy and also delicious). I would go back for the service, price and atmosphere alone, but the food (and wine ;-) were both great. Definitely going back.
Fairly generic (think Moxie's, BP, Applebee's, etc)but decent food. Service was amazing both times I've been. Questions about food were answered well and everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there and to serve you. If you're expecting culinary greatness from a place in the mall maybe you should rethink how you view food. I will definitely return.
A nice addition to the Regent area.. The food was great. I definitely recommend the flatbread pizzas! The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is nice as well although the dining room is on the smaller side. Tuesdays are half price wine night!

Great Food, Great Prices, Great Service. My wife and I have been to State and Main twice in the last three weeks. I really don't think there are any better restaurants in the area; certainly not at the same price point.
With respect to the comparisons to Earls... There is no Earls in NK/EK/Transcona... and besides, Earls is hands down the noisiest, most pretentious (for a chain, anyway) restaurant in existence.
Back at State and Main, my wife and I have tried the baked pretzel sticks and meatball sliders (starters); the grilled cheeseburger, the main (burger), halibut & chips and butter chicken (mains); and the dirt pie (dessert.) Everything has been phenomenal.
The service has been pretty good too. Staff are always very friendly and so far, their recommendations have paid off. Our mains took a quite a while on our second visit, but they were pretty busy at the time. There is a manager constantly patrolling the restaurant and checking in on guests.
The atmosphere (in the restaurant; haven't been in the bar yet) is nice. It's a little dark at first, but the tables are well lit and the candlelight makes it feel quite intimate.
We will definitely be back.
Great service, great atmosphere, great food, great prices, generous portions. I don't see anything wrong with all of the above!

Good, Basic Fare. State & Main has added itself to the multitude of restaurants in the Regent area, located inside Kildonan Place mall. As someone already mentioned it is owned by the same company as Original Joe's, which is pretty evident by looking at their menu. The food is typical of a Moxies/Earls/Joeys, with salads, sandwiches, burgers, pastas, and entrees of ribs/chicken/steak. I enjoy that for side dishes you get to pick 2 from several choices as opposed to the normal "either fries or salad". I had the veggie burger which was packed with roasted red peppers, guacamole, and brushetta topping all on a whole wheat bun. For my sides I chose the ginger-cilantro coleslaw and the jalapeno cheddar mashed potatoes. The coleslaw was light and refreshing with a strong pronounced cilantro flavor, while the ginger wasn't as noticable. The potatoes were comforting as mashed potatoes should be, but a bit on the gloopy side and I could not taste any jalapenos or anything spicy for that matter. My dad had the thai chicken salad which he found filling and tasty,which also came served with a moist banana bread. Service was attentive throughout the evening and our food came out pretty fast. I was also satisfied with the cost of food based on the portions and quality. I most likely will return here because it reminds me of Original Joe's (which I really like) minus the long car ride from home. I also like knowing that they are open until 2am 7 days a week, making it a convenient spot for a late night snack.
I went to State & Main with my girlfriend tonight. It is a nice looking place. It is a sister restaurant to Original Joes so if you like that place you will like this place. The food is good, just like Original Joes. My girlfriend and I really enjoy the Sweet Chili Chicken. They have a lot of great drinks here and their drink specials are especially good. On Tuesdays it is half priced bottles of wine. Service is good, friendly, and efficient. We happened to know the server as she used to work with us at another restaurant. It is great to have a nice restaurant come to the Transcona area to try and liven the area up. We will be back for sure. It is a great place. I can't wait until this place gets fully established and builds their patio.
Haven't been here in years, but came here on the patio tonight with my girlfriend as she lives just down the road. WOW! Will definitely be back next week. Our server Alisa was amazing and has been one the best I've experienced in many years! She was at our table all the time, no problems at all with service. Kept upselling me on more shots 😂 (my rubber arm). The food was unreal. Had the spinach dip and and chips for starting, grilled cheese burger with fries and dill dipping sauce, split two ways. Awesome portions. 12/10 night!!
Went for dinner and drinks with a group 7 during a busy Friday evening. Our waitress appeared to be handling several tables in our area but was reasonably quick to refill our drinks and make sure we were doing okay.
This was my first experience at State & Main and I'm very happy to report that my order of pistachio crusted salmon was absolutely amazing. Everything on my plate was delicious and came together perfectly.
I would have given a full 5 star review but my wife had ordered a steak medium well and it came out rare, even after resting for 10 minutes before she cut into it. They staff did offer to remake but unfortunately we had to leave so they removed it from the bill.
I'm excited to return and try other items on the menu.
I’m giving my server, Daniella a five stars, I’m giving the restaurant and management a 2. Our server was basically tending to every table, busing the tables and was visibly overwhelmed. At one point we felt so bad for her that we offered to clear tables. You could tell she wanted the help but couldn’t accept. The food was delicious though.
Nice atmosphere and good food and drink selection. The service was not as good. Not sure if our server had too many tables, but restaurant wasn’t even 1/3 full and the wait time was long (to order, to get drinks, food and the bill).
Awesome food, service and most delicious steaks and bang bang shrimp as an appetizer! Their drinks are delicious and definitely will return! At times the wait staff was a bit busy but we enjoyed our food and atmosphere! We would definitely recommend this over the Keg! Their washrooms are very cool as well! Individual spacious stalls! Thank you for a great experience!
Very professional and friendly staff! The food was excellent and the happy hour prices are very reasonable. I recommend the state burger and the fish tacos, they were both delicious!
