| - I wasn't expecting much from the food at State & Main because, generally speaking, chain restaurants in Canada are terrible. (I'm looking directly at you, Kelsey's, Montana's, etc, etc.)
Anyway, I figured I should keep an open mind and I'm so glad I did, because the food was surprisingly (and shockingly) tasty.
I decided to go with the Main Burger ("two patties, each w/ melted american cheese make up this classic. topped w/ lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle & our own state sauce") and ordered Ginger Cilantro Slaw and Corn Bread on the side.
(Being able to choose from a list of side orders is actually a pretty great idea, and one that's quite common in eateries south of the border.)
It's a damn good burger. The meat, though a little on the dry side, contains absolutely no fillers and boasts an irresistible crust, while the various toppings uniformly work quite well. The bread was definitely too dense, but that's a minor complaint for what's otherwise a pretty fantastic hamburger.
The sides were also a pleasant surprise, with the Slaw quite flavorful and the Corn Bread unexpectedly tasty.
