Let me start by saying that the location has a nice ambience and design. Its a convenient location near the VIP cinemas. I ordered theburger main), it wasn't bad just nothing special, A&W, five guys and Wendys is better i think, The buns are really cold. frieswere also served cold : . Wife got the tuna poke bowl. She said it's pretty good. We got the bang bang shrimp for apps it wasalso good. Daughter got the chicken with broccoli kids meal, it also wasn't that bad. Wife got a 10$ cocktail drink that wethink doesn't contain any alcohol at all. I would know because my wife's will turn red on the littlest amount of alcohol. I gota beer. Service was bad. Our server tried her best but she was serving too many tables at once. I dont think it's fair thatmanagement assigns too many tables for 1 single server. We had to wait a few times to get service. Restaurant wasn't that fulleither. I think this place ain't that bad but not worth it for the price. We felt that it was too expensive. Our bill came outto 94$ plus tips for just 2 adults and a child for food that ain't special/amazing. The server to table ratio means you will bewaiting a few times for service, badly. The location is convenient and had a great design though.

The kids mac and cheese was a bit too creamy The Bang Bang Shrimp was great. The scallion and the crispy shrimp was seasoned just right The grilled Chicken Caesar was not too creamy and the chicken had a blackened finish The SpicyThai Salad didn't have that much flavor so try to order an extra side of sauce The Tuna Poke bowl was good and filling.

The soup was quite good, and I especially enjoyed the bread that came with it—I would definitely order it again. My niece liked the chicken fingers and fries. The meal included a dip for the fries and plum sauce for the fingers. Some parts of the chicken fingers were a little tough, so she didn’t eat those pieces. Overall, the meal looked much better than I expected for a kids' meal, and the fries were nicely seasoned.

Our meals were delicious—full of flavor, fresh, and reasonably priced. I would definitely come back and recommend it. We ordered the crispy chicken burger, fish and chips (twice), chicken tenders, buffalo wings, spanakopita flatbread, Baja Brussels sprouts, and fries with dill sauce—all excellent choices. However, there was one thing: we noticed another table order four of the same drink and thought it must be good, so we ordered one to share. The drink was a bizarre mix of whiskey, red wine, and egg whites—more like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre than a cocktail. The name "New York Sour" was very misleading.

I highly recommend the chicken fingers—they were incredibly crispy and juicy. My daughter loved the kids chicken and broccoli bowl, saying it was delicious. The meals my wife and I had were also quite good. The two virgin piña coladas were excellent as well. Overall, State Main is a great spot with reasonable prices.
