Ordered a Cobb Salad for delivery. Katsu chicken was beyond burnt and thus insanely dry. The bacon was overcooked to the point of being jerky. How do you mess up a salad this badly?
Also didn't realize that State & Main is owned by the same group who owns Harvey's/Swiss Chalet etc. Explains the quality of the food. You get a premium price and vibe but with fast food quality eats.

The place was easy to find and parking was good. We were shown to our table fairly quickly and attended to well. Drinks and food orders were taken good time. The food arrived in a reasonable time. For my food, butter chicken, I would rate the food quality as a 5, but the portion size of the butter chicken as a 2 or a 3. I am on the first diet of my life and have had a lot of practice in estimating food sizes. I estimated about a cup and a half of rice, which is good, but maybe only TWO ounces of chicken, and one HALF of a six inch naan!
At our usual place for butter chicken, I get about 5-6 ounces of chicken and a full 10 inch naan, which I take half home!
This criticism was for my meal only but I did think that the Main burger was a little on the small size.
This is a good place to go if you want to have a good quality meal, but not if you are hungry.
