I was under the impression taxes would be levied only if you ate inside the restaurant.

The only time there won't be a tax on food sales is if you're a business purchasing food to resell or create items for resale.
Other than that, any item sold anywhere in any state in a retail store is subject to a retail sales tax. Your state government doesn't care where you eat it, and there would be no possible way to police the separation of off-premise and on-premise sales. Whoever fed you that piece of information was seriously misinformed.
