Salisbury House: Known for their Nips (burgers) and Wafer Pie
We have a place in New Jersey, called Chicken Holiday, that makes pressure cooked fried chicken. Which is now the only way i will eat fried chicken. It's amazing.
So sad! Any state West of the Rockies is NOT going to have unique state food, except maybe avocado toast and bulgogi tacos in California. (Bulgogi is Korean, avocados a Mexican staple--definitely not unique to California). And rocky mountain oysters, if you actually want to gross out yourself.
I lived in Michigan for a long time. A couple of favorites are pasties (pronounced "pass-tees"), which is a handheld meat pie, and a special kind of ginger ale called Vernor's. You may think you've had ginger ale, but probably not as spicy as Vernor's!
Up here in Vermont we have these trees that grow all over the place. You stick a spigot in the side, sap comes out, and if you boil it long enough it turns into this really sweet, tasty syrup. I think they may make it other places, too, but it's mostly from here. Then, while it's still hot, people pour the syrup over snow and eat it with dill pickles. It's called sugar on snow.
I grew up eating pasties in Pennsylvania. The Welsh churches sold them a few times a year. There's nothing better than church lady food. At least there wasn't in the 1960s and early '70s.

Pasties are meat pies which Cornish miners used to take with to the mines for lunch. My great grandmother was from Cornwall, and my mom learned to make them from her. She only made them a few times though. I wish I had learned how to make them. I imagine the Welsh versions are much the same.
