Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration. But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

I was pleasantly surprised with State and Main. Nice atmosphere, good food. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Good location with loads of parking space. Recommendation: reduce number of high tables to give customers more space and room to feel comfortable.

My son and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Postmark Hotel today. We were pleasantly welcomed. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. My son's Homestead breakfast was hot and delicious. My pancakes we light, fluffy and delicious. Unfortunately they were cold! My waiter offered to have new pancakes made however with waste in mind, I asked him to just microwave them for 30 seconds... The pancakes were less cold. Oh well, our breakfast together wasn't ruined Well go back. I'll order avocado toast.
