We've been here a few times for brunches and dinners, and the food is consistently great. Steak to fish to apps to salad, everything is spot-on. I always get Fig & Wasp cocktail. I see that they increased their prices recently but that's ok as long as food is THAT GOOD. My only complaint is that it gets pretty loud.

We were a part of a family party of 6. An hour and a half drive, in summer storms. Enjoyed every bite, every minute of the dining experience. Our server Dana, did an excellent job of taking care of us all. Five o' clock reservation, thanks to my sister. Packed by the time we left.

The Waverly Local is always worth the trip! I love the vibe, and the food never disappoints! Favorite appetizer for us is the pimento cheese and fry bread (the BREAD!!!). Husband always wants the ribeye! I love the seasonal pasta or the fried rice specials. And don't sleep on the roast pork dish! And for dessert, you must try the chocolate pudding (like a mousse) and the coconut cake. We have recommended this place to so many and it always gets rave reviews from our friends. Hope you get to go and enjoy The Waverly Local soon!
Reservations at 7 … at 8:30 , still had no appetizers we ordered at 7::30. No idea who our waiter was bc we had 4 different people eventually come by. Finally left at 8:30 with still no appetizers or dinner being served . Only got drinks bc we went to bar and ordered them .

Excellent place service and food. Cute town to visit off the grid; also went to the cemetery nearby and it’s a great historic place for the history buffs.

I can’t wait to go back. Was perfect for a date! From the atmosphere, to the service and food. It was all amazing! You won’t regret your trip!
Ate here for the second time last night. We were seated at a table right by the bar entrance, very busy. When asked to change were told only banquette tables were available despite an abundance of empty 4 tops. Our server was Conner who was fine. Ordered the bacon wrapped okra app and it was delicious as usual. I ordered the feed chicken special and my partner ordered the shrimp and grits. My fried chicken was tasty but neither crispy or crunchy. The mashed potatoes were very good as were the collards. But really, no pepper/hot sauce for the collards? Th shrimp and grits dish was completely overpowered by the sauce served. Very strong with both sweet and savory notes that made the dish unappetizing. My partner tried to eat around the sauce with some success. Overall an ok to good experience. If you are in the area I would check it out. Will I drive 45 minutes from my home at Lake Martin to eat here in the near future, no.

Steak was cooked perfectly but just like the bread appetizer and the sides, it lacked in flavor. For the price I would have hoped at least for a hint of salt or butter on it but I could detect neither.

Food was great and server was incredible by Conner. Should place his banana pudding on the menu.

Wonderful experience at the Waverly Local. 4.5 stars overall. We ordered the ribeye, shrimp and grits, chii, and La's smoked chicken. All of these were very good; however, the star of the show was the ribeye. Yep, it's expensive, but we thought it was worth the price. Why four stars for the food? The garlic broccolini was a bit disappointing (couldn't taste any garlic) as were the mashed potatoes. As has been noted in previous reviews, it is noisy there - at least on a Friday night. Service was great and we loved the atmosphere. Highly recommend...
