Reviews of State & Main (Fish Shop)

Douglas Nikiforuk

Average tasting food. Special shows 5 dishes, but only one was available. Slightly expensive for what you get. Excellent server, though!

Diane Dix

Washrooms were clean. Food is better than the majority of restaurants. Service was excellent. We had Rebecca and she recommended getting the veggie burger and substituting the veggie patty for a chicken. Good call. My only recommendation is that should be on the menu. Call it the death of the veggie burger. Kids are allowed at the restaurant, so be prepared for noise and crying!

I get great service every time I go there and I'm very please with the food they serve.. manager was also very accommodating when I forgot my meal to go on the table. ????

David Yelligadu

Love the fish tacos. Nice atmosphere. Can get busy and loud at times, but overall a good place and food is priced well with nice portions.

Geoff Luehr

Food was good. Waitress was nice but the amount of confusion with our wings orders was very frustrating.

Ann Lafleur

Good food, good drinks, good service. Close a bit early on Saturdays.

Victoria Pastion

Great service this time around! Was definitely impressed. Food was good as well! Another local spot to grab a rock creek cider!!

Was a great night awesome service great food

4.5 stars for their happy hour fish tacos. They'd get a 5 if corn tortilla was used instead of flour and if their cabbage was lightly fermented and traditionally spiced. For $4 a piece as a happy hour special, they're one of the best tacos in town with a good enough price to buy a few along with a pint and really enjoy it.

Corey Leroux

Nice place,good service, best bar stools in gp

Matt Bigham

Great place to enjoy a meal. Prices are good, servers are great, ambiance is incredible. It has an upscale laid back industrial feel to the decor. The dragon boats are awesome as well as the calamari. They also serve a decent breakfast.

Gordon Smith

We had fairly good service while we were there ???? we had enough distance between our table and the next seated guests, which is always good. The food took quite a long time to arrive after we had placed our order. I had ordered the mini tacos and my partner had ordered a burger and poutine. My food was very cold, while my partner's was hot, but I was too hungry to mention the temperature. Despite being cold it was still delicious. Overall it was a good experience ????

Paige Clark

Rustic southern atmosphere! I like it! with glass drinking jars..slaw...corn bread...food is amazing! Waitress was on top of things! ????

Taylor Robinson

A go-to place at lunch or dinner. Great food and drink selection. Rarely ever busy. One of few south-facing patios in the city so gets good sun in the summer

STEVE FREEMAN

The staff was friendly and helpful with food allergies. Food was delicious. Try the Thai Salad!

Liquid Steele

I've had better beef dips (French dip)

Kathy Poz

Customer WiFi: yes Washrooms: yes Power outlets: no Pet friendly: no Parking: yes free parking Food: food was good and had some really good flavors. a good selection of dishes presented fairly well. Service: server didn't come by very often but did check up every so often. Atmosphere: fairly open with lots of different types of seating arrangements available.

I ordered the pretzel and dip, it was soggy. The shrimp was a big clump and looked slimy. Only thing that was good was the Pacific Rim bowl. Got it express and doubt I'll order again 80.00 was a full waste of money. ????

Alycia Holmes

The food was awesome, the service was great. The atmosphere is nice.

Kim Ford

Late night drinks with friends and the service was fantastic. Food was great especially the calamari!

Alvin Solano

Good place to dine and drink. Clean and cozy environment.

Donnie Shaw

Great food even better service!

Brandon Bedell

very slow, took 30 minutes to get wings, salt and pepper wings had no salt and pepper on them, the fish and chips were terrible, way over cooked and crazy greasy, the batter was at least 3/4" thick from sitting in the deep fryer to long and French fries were soggy from greasy fish sitting on top of them. was very disappointed. dinner cost us 140.00 and I will not be returning for a long time.

Jason Rajotte

Used to go here often, haven’t been much in the last year or so. Went for dinner on a Monday night recently with a group of 6. The place was dead for being dinner hours 5:45pm, now I know why. Food came out on a timely manner, however drink service was non-existent and the $18 Bison burger was not good at all. Patty was burnt and dry, the bun and toppings were what you’d find at any fast food joint. We had wings and other appies which were fine, hard to mess those up. Was not impressed with my meal or the lack of drink service. Highly doubt will be going back. Too bad, use to enjoy this place.

Teslin

Great place, good patio experience.

freindly staff and amazing food. atmosphere is very ambient perfect for date night and or a family outting

Mac Murdoch

Cool atmosphere with wicked tunes. Food was awesome, good price. Definetly making this place one of our regulars.

Leon McCallister

I was craving a steak after ice-fishing and felt I deserved it, and State and Main hit the spot! The dill sauce for the fries- delightful. The sautéed mushrooms, not overdone and too mushy, they were perfect, and the salad? That salad! With the apple walnut, goat cheese, and a cute sweet potato chip on top? Above and beyond. I was just expecting a generic mixed greens, but was pleasantly surprised with this culinary delight. Almost forgot I was eating in my dining room , until I saw my daughters homework left out on the table and the sound of the kids playing online Minecraft with cousins in the background (Thanks pandemic) guarantee I will be eating that again. Hopefully next time it’ll be dining in.

Brittany Wilson

My family and I went for supper last night. I had been thinking about the chicken enchiladas all day, I had had then on two other occassions, as had my sister in law. The service was good, the food was disappointing, to say the least. I order them with no jalapenos, I like to enjoy my food with only a little heat. My niece and sister in law also ordered the enchiladas. After waiting for our meal for around 45 minutes, because the priority orders in this city are skip the dishes, not the people who go out to the restaurant. The enchiladas were nearly inedible for the amount of spice, so not at all worth the wait, they were not temperature hot, either. The main reason to go to the same restaurant is to get the same dish. We were told that some of the dishes weren't consistent. Why not, you are a franchise? My brother, who likes spicy food tried it and it was too hot for him, too. My nephew's fries were cold, when I mentioned it, the waitress offered to bring him more. How about telling the kitchen to send hot food the first time? The manager offered us free dessert as a resolution to a poor meal. Thanks, but no, that isn't a solution. I get tired of spending my money and not feeling like it was worth it. For the most part it was a poor meal, at least the service was good, that was the only shining point of the evening.

Chris Thiessen

what can you say other than the most comfortable bar to sit at in this city!

Jackie W

I always love the food and the atmosphere here. Their decor is really well done, and I love their extremely flavorful bowls. To top it off, their customer service is always spot on.

Courtney Johnson

The service was great and soup was very good.

vonhollen70

Amazing food and friendly staff.

La Dawn Brule

Always great food. Awesome service from Michael and every time a good experience.

hannah fletcher

I used to love going here but now I'm afraid since I got food poisoning off one of their meals and had to send back a glass of water that had a hair it in. .the waitress was nice and brought me back a clean glass with fresh water

Casey McLean

Food was ok, spinach dip was cold, drinks were amazing

Nathan Stolz

Good atmosphere and the food was good

Alex Meadus

This place is really hit or miss. I ordered the same meal twice from here. Once during the week. It was awesome. The second time was yesterday, Friday. Chicken club was awful, just globbed with cold guacamole, poorly cooked chicken. The wings were pathetic. Cold and mushy. The next day I am in pain, will never go back.

Rich N.

My family loves State & Main. Not actually located anywhere near Main street. It is located on the corner of 84th ave and 100 st. In front of a trailer park and beside a Safeway gas bar. I believe this place used to be a Blockbuster Video in its previous life. Location aside, this little gem is a delicious place to take the family for dinner. The service is friendly and fast. Definitely worth it. It might even be worth dining here after it gets dark. I wouldn't know, I'm not that brave.

Bradford Garron

I like the food, but ground fish meat on a 15$ street taco is bizarre and no pickled cabbage to break up the taste if there was any.... Just water?.... and fyi if the staff could stay off there phone and do there job, but other than that. Your getting there.

Kristina Zacharias

First night open, June 10, 2021! Meals were, honestly, as delicious as they were before. So happy to dine out. A lot of new faces as not everything as it used to be, but top notch effort by all. Congratulations on surviving!

John

State and Main serves your typical American food. It was busy on a Friday night and played lively music. The restaurant is rustic but modern and I would say lively. Wooden decor, booths, Mason jar cups. Similar to Rogue or Browns Social House. Its very clean. The food was decent, the prices about what you would expect. I had a French Dip with French onion soup. It was okay. 16 to 20 bucks for an entree. $40/person if you get an appy, entree, drink and tip. Staff was friendly. Food took 30 minutes. They also serve burgers, sandwiches, fish n chips, salads, wings etc. Gluten sensitive and vegetarian options available. Serves alcohol.

Deanna Kallal

Great food and friendly staffs!

Cory M

Good Ambiance, Nice Decor for a Wide Open Style. Service was Decent but I was only the 4th table in there, so there is no excuse to not have good service. I had the cheeseburger, yam fries and caesar salad, they were all tasty except for the burger was between 2 greasy pieces of garlic bread... Which they called French Bread.... Garlic Bread is Not French bread and they should have made the distinction on their menu, as I did not like the burger buns at all....

Ryan Hart

Food is ok mostly like Original Joe's style menu. Staff is nice. Typical chain style restaurant. I would go back just because the location.

jayfer 72

Steak was cooked to perfection. Waiter Michael was very attentive as were others. Physical distancing protocol was great as was obvious cleaning regimen . Never disappointed when we dine here!

Dominique Osmon

I would only recommend that people go here on slow times. Apparently Friday evening is not a good time to experience this restaurant for the first time as the tables are about 12-18 inches apart, and if fellow patrons are not respectful your evening can quickly become soured and not at all the romantic date you were aiming for. I strongly recommend Original Joe's layout over State and Main (and I do believe they are owned by the same parent company) as it feels as though State and Main is over stuffing the restaurant in order to maximize their profits at the expense of the patrons personal space. I did find the food was quite tasty and the drinks were well crafted. Unfortunately it feels like an expensive food fair.

The food is decent. The fries are pretty good. However, the service isn’t that great. It’s slow and the servers forgot what I wanted and then mixed it up. It was alright in the way that we were a group of 8 people, but i wouldn’t go again.

Mitch M

We’ve ordered off skip twice recently and the food that we received was excellent both times. The first and chips are fantastic! The problem was the food that we didn’t receive... first time we didn’t get any dressing for a Caesar salad which kind of sucked but we just used ranch that we had in our fridge so it wasn’t that big of a deal. The second time was today, we wanted cheesecake as dessert for our Valentine’s Day dinner and it was the biggest reason we chose this restaurant to order from. We were billed for the cheesecake but unfortunately never received it. We’ve requested a refund from skip and will return to the restaurant in person but it’s probably off of our order-in list now.

Dirk Schotz

We have been ordering takeout online through the state and main website directly and have had nothing but positive experiences we have ordered dozens of times during this covid time, and they have not made one mistake. The food is always great, our family especially likes the kid’s menu that is very well priced and has a great selection with something that all our kids like so there is no more fighting over where to eat. The staff has always been friendly and professional. I’m not usually a review guy but have been repeatedly impressed with State and Main and felt compelled to share.

Drew Seward

Great server. I love the Cobb salad. When nothing else will do?

M Charbo

While away for work visited on a busy Good Friday dinner rush with the only drawback to my experience being a little slow in getting our main courses out. Great service, nice atmosphere and everyone in my party were happy with their food choices (pretzel bites, peri peri chicken, bison burger & butter chicken). Waitress was very friendly and attentive but as we were paying the bill she reminded us accidentally that we were away from our family and friends during this holiday weekend and made us feel a little sad and sorry for ourselves.

Sam Supernault

Great food but slow. A couple who sat down after us got their food before us and we ordered a salad to start which came out with the rest of the meal.

Lawrence Vanin

Fantastic experience everytime I go.

turbodiesel 69

Great service . The waitreas and waiter attended to us fast and efficient I had already paid the bill and was getting ready to leave. This is when my daughter noticed a hair in my take out box. Needless to say I left it behind.

Raiven Swallows

Nice place! I like the patio in summer and the winter menu was really good

Jordan Hinman

Was one of my favorite place to eat until the recent change in their menu. They removed my favorite appetizer and my Reuben sandwich. Ended up having a $15 ramen noodle soup bowl

CEO

The food was great. We were in the room which is on the small side and they didn't quite have the staff to cater to the room and the restaurant being full. It took an hour and a half to two hours until everyone had their food. Two of the kids got their meal at the very end. I definitely like state and main I just think they need more staff. They had three hostesses chilling at the front with nothing to do. Great place but still has some improvements to make it awesome.

jason handfield

Service was terrible. There were 14 other people in the restaurant besides my family of 4. Waitress was more concerned serving the 3 guys at another table. I believe they were her friends. I ordered a steak sandwich with a mixed green salad. The salad doesn’t list that it comes with nuts or dressing and naturally I ordered it with ranch dressing but it came dress as normal. I returned the salad hoping just for greens. It never came… At that same time I ordered a second beer. That never came either. The kids menu says that a there is a small salad on the side at no charge. They brought my 3 year old a full sized salad and then tried to charge for it along with the second beer I never received. Waitress excused this as her being new. Maybe her new job is a place to hang out with her friends. Either way, she won’t last long. So I paid $22 for a steak slightly larger than a golf ball which was 6 bites. Never coming back and I’m disappointed because pre-COVID, this was the place we liked frequenting.

chantillylace132

The staff was extremely friendly and we all had great service...will definitely return

Kyler Lucas

Excellent service and food was up to par for Grande Prairie. Had the French Dip and yam fries was pretty good! The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was cozy, the temperature was a little cold and because it was Valentine's day it was a little busy but wasn't too distracting.

Lannie Nuckols

We were here on a busy Saturday with a big group (15 of us) and considering how busy it was our service was excellent. Food was good and prices are reasonable

trish smith

Great customer service and friendly staff

Mark Willsey

Amazing food. I am particularly fond of the Pacific Rim Noodle Bowl and Sirloin Salad. Amazing atmosphere and it's kid friendly. Will definetly continue to go back, especially for the great Service ????

Jenn Bales

Terrible service, went to eat and they were closed for a staff function lasting 2 whole days and their website said open. Wasted a whole drive.

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Grande Prairie. Great food, great service. Always glad I went????

Cj

Minimum wage doubles and we are still expected to tip!? With the food quality dropping and menu prises rising! I don't think so Got a grilled cheese for son and that even had kraft slices! A freaking restaurant, you would think for the price would at least use real cheese This place sucks

jason marley

Great place for a bite to eat. Has all your staples you'd find elsewhere but great staff and atmosphere.

Arlene Logan

My brother and I enjoyed dinner there last night. Our server, Melanie, was friendly and good at her job. The menu had lots of interesting choices. We finally settled on 4 appies and no main courses. We particularly loved the Brussel Sprouts, and Bang Bang shrimp, but also enjoyed the lettuce wraps.

Cathie Oliwa

A bit of a long wait for food but amazing atmosphere great service and a delicious menu

Donna Wiznura

The food was okay and certainly not worth taking the public health risk. All the staff were not wearing masks. We asked for a normal table (not high seating) so we were seated beside a door that was constantly opening up to the patio. The flooring was also super sticky. There were also smokers outside near the patio which also added to the “ambiance”. Our meals and service were mediocre at best. In my opinion, there are better dining options in Grande Prairie.

Sarah Shaw

Super friendly waitress, food was good, drinks were even better !

Curtis Alstead

Very slow kitchen today (May 27th). Just over an hour from being seated to receiving food. Drinks were comped by way of apology but I would rather have faster service.

Jordan Osterhold

Great food, great service! Our server was very busy with a few larger tables but she always checked on us to ensure a pleasant dining experience!! Great job!

Ryan Smith

Server was excellent. Butter chicken excellent. Beer battered fish and chips tasted so bad my husband couldn't eat it. Everything else was fine.

karen wollstein

If you like waiting at the hospital for a doctor then you will like this place. Over an hour for some wings and sweet potato fries.

Amanda Holloway

Love the service great specials

Greg Remple

We were so impressed with our steak, potatoes, garlic shrimp, and a very yummy salad. Our meal was delivered exactly on time. Your staff were very pleasant to assist us in choosing our meal. Thanks for making this a delicious experience. A gift card well appreciated. Kudos

Leah McKenzie

Super great food as always. Waitresses did a great job and were quick to remove plates and refill waters. Easy 5/5 from me

Casey Harbour

This place is joke very rude waitress’s that can’t take a simple order don’t waste your money here

kiana giroux

We just had our Christmas Party at State and Main. There was about 35 of us and their serving team never missed a beat. From the drinks to the appetizers and finally to the many options on the special menu, everything was Great! I personally had the Pistachio Salmon and it was delicious! Thanks to the ownership team and all the staff for making this such a memorable night!

kathy morton
