We visited State & Main in Kitchener for the first time on Family Day for a family dinner, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish.
To drink, we ordered the Tank Mill Street Haze Phaze, which was crisp, smooth, and very refreshing. The Passion Palmer Mocktail and Raspberry Dragon Fruit No-Jito were both beautifully presented and packed with flavor ..not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced and refreshing.
For our appetizer, we had the Chili Coconut Calamari, and it was excellent. The calamari was lightly battered and crispy without being greasy, and the chili coconut flavor added a unique sweet-and-spicy twist that really stood out. It was a great way to start the meal.
For mains, we ordered the Teriyaki Rice Bowl, Truffle & Shrimp Rigatoni, and the 8oz Sirloin. The Teriyaki Rice Bowl was flavorful and satisfying, with a nice balance of sauce and fresh ingredients. The Truffle & Shrimp Rigatoni was rich and creamy with perfectly cooked shrimp and a delicious truffle aroma that wasn’t overpowering. The 8oz Sirloin was cooked just right, tender, and well-seasoned.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a family celebration. Even though it was a holiday and quite busy, the service was excellent. A special thank you to Emily, who was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening.
Overall, we had a fantastic first visit and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend for a family dinner or special occasion!

We were looking for a restaurant who still offered their regular menu on Nee Year’s Eve, which State and Main does.
Their menu had something that pleased everyone. The pricing is reasonable and the service was awesome on this stormy night. Our waitress was fun, easy to joke and chat with, and attentive to all of us in her section.
We tried their Pistachio Crusted Salmon, Whiskey Peppercorn New York Steak, and the Grilled Chicken Club.
Every choice tasted wonderful and the plates were cleaned off, but we likely won’t redo the Whiskey Peppercorn sauce or the Pistachio crusted topping; neither hit the spot for us. I must add though that the salmon and the steak were cooked to perfection!

State & Main has a nice atmosphere and a comfortable, inviting space to enjoy a meal. I had the steak, which was good, and my friend had the salmon and really enjoyed it as well. We also shared the tuna tartare on pressed rice, but unfortunately it didn’t taste fresh and we weren’t able to finish it. The food overall had some hits and misses, and the service wasn’t very attentive, which made the experience a bit disappointing. The setting is still nice, and with improved service, it could be a much better experience.

Had my lunch here when it was past lunch time. All I wanted was soup and was disappointed because there was only one type of soup on the menu. So I decided to go with the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. Really like the combination of veggies and the presentation of the dish. The veggies and the chicken were cooked to just the right doneness! Unfortunately the sauce was a little bit too salty and too much of the sauce made the rice below all soggy.
But I enjoyed the ambiance and the excellent service I received from the servers there.
Worthwhile place to visit again to explore other dishes.

We stopped in at State & Main in Kitchener and were really happy with the overall experience. We ordered the Pretzel Bites, Baja Fish Tacos, The Main burger, and the Grilled Chicken Club.
The Pretzel Bites were a great start—soft, warm, and perfectly salted, paired with a delicious beer cheese dip that had just the right amount of tang. The Baja Fish Tacos were fresh and flavorful, with crispy battered fish, creamy avocado, and a crunchy slaw. They came with fries, which were tasty and paired well with the garlic aioli, though the portion of fries was on the smaller side.
The Main burger was a solid classic—two juicy patties, melty cheese, and a nice balance of toppings. The Grilled Chicken Club was another standout, especially with the addition of avocado and peppered bacon, which gave it a nice savory punch.
Service was friendly and attentive throughout, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We’d definitely come back—especially for that aioli!

Overall, our experience was fine. Our server was attentive and did quality checks throughout the meal. However, the biggest issue was the lack of communication around our reservation. I noted that we were celebrating a birthday when booking, but it was never acknowledged. The server didn’t ask if we were celebrating anything, which makes it awkward to bring up on your own. This also suggests that reservation notes aren’t being communicated from the host to the server.
Unfortunately, my nearly $40 steak had absolutely no seasoning, which was disappointing given the price point. When dessert was offered, again there was no mention of a birthday.
The bill came to nearly $200, and the tip options were automatically set to 18%, 20%, or 22%. For that cost and a $30+ tip, I expect better attention to detail—especially something as simple as acknowledging a celebration noted on the reservation. With better communication and more consistency in food quality, this could have been a much stronger experience.

I haven’t had a burger this good in a long time. My fiancé and I loved this place and it’s ambiance, we definitely plan to come back soon. Our server, Parker, deserves more than 5 stars. He was everything you want in a server – attentive, polite, fun, and gave great reccomendations when asked! Also worthy to note, the fries were amazing, Caesar salad was made just right, and even something about the burger buns was top-notch. We would highly reccomend!

This was a wonderful dining experience. The apps – shrimp and dumplings – were delicious and we really enjoyed the rice bowl. Topped off the lunch with the cinnamon bun bread puddings which was so delicious! However, the highlight of the meal was the service by Jenn – so attentive, pleasant and genuinely kind. What a gem this restaurant has in this person as a brand ambassador. We’ll be back for sure and sooner than later. Did I mention what a great menu they have. Original and eclectic!

a nice spot with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. We enjoyed our meal, especially the fish&chips and beer. The food was tasty and the service was generally good.
However, something strange happened during our visit. The staff asked us to pay the bill right when they brought the food to the table. It felt a bit weird because usually, you get the check after you finish eating!
