The staff was super helpful, nice and quick. If I were to go back it would be because of the people who work there. The food, not great. It was ok, nothing spectacular. I got a pretzel, it was bland and greasy and came in a bag, it seemed like I should take it to go. I also got the crispy chicken sandwich. It was ok. Two of the draft beers I ordered had run out already. Like 12 draft beers and two were out?

Service was unusually inattentive and slow, especially for not being crowded. Server seemed more interested in talking to coworkers than taking care of customers.

Great food! Great company! Great atmosphere! Did I mention that the music was on point as well? Great little place with vegan options. Loved the ambience. Just loved this place! Will visit again if I'm in the area.

Great, creative food and cocktails menu. Friendly staff. Very welcoming for our first time visit from out of town. The Smashburger and Fried Chicken Sandwich were great for entries, but piece de resistance certainly were the onion rings. We'll be back.

The online brunch menu DOES NOT match the brunch menu they give you at the restaurant.
Our waitress was super rude about it so we just left without eating.

Just found my new local spot. Drinks 10/10. Cane for the Steak Frites, did not disappoint. Fries were crunchy yet airy and not greasy. Chimichurri, fire. Then, the lemon pepper wings; Herby, fresh, zesty & delicious. Don't sleep on this spot. Oh and the pretzel came so hot from the oven it was in a bag and I could've bathed in the truffle butter but I decided to eat it instead and let me tell ya.... 🤤. Ok now stop reading this review and go eat here.

Great pub
I've been wanting to try The Local Peasant for a while cause of my proximity but just kept pushing it off. I finally went in the other day and honestly, I'd prefer if I kept pushing it off.
Off the bat it is just any other generic Restobar. Minimal decor means you can easily forget what restaurant. Even the exterior of the place offers no hint that it is even a restaurant thanks to lack of signage. The waiter we had was polite, attentive, and probably the only highlight of the visit.
The food, while tasty, was lacking. We started with the Truffle Macaroni and cheese with bacon, which turned out to be Penne Pasta in a runny alfredo. I have no clue why anyone would call this Macaroni and Cheese when the cheese is simply a runny sauce that was more truffle than cheese and the Macaroni is a completely different pasta. Also, to pay extra for Bacon on it and there be maybe a quarter of an ounce of bacon is insulting. Overall the Macaroni and cheese is a collosal failure. Just call it Penne in an alfredo sauce and you're off to a better start, however, even then the sauce was too runny and you still have the insult of paying extra for bacon and having no bacon in it.
I had the Fish n Chips for my main. The chips were larger than I'd normally prefer. I feel all of them could have been cut in half and still been large chips. As they are, while the outside was crisp the chips are too large to get that really good pillowy inside. The fish were also good. Good breading, Good crisp, good flavor, but they delivered it on a metal tray which was considerably cooler than the fish, therefore condensation quickly formed so the entire underside of each fish because soggy and they fell apart. Not only did they fall apart because of the failure of the breading to stay crisp, it felt like these were hunks of fish that were slapped together. Each chunk quickly came apart from the whole as you eat and without a truly crisp breading to keep them intact, they just fall to the plate creating a mess.
Overall this place seems to exist purely for the sports crowds. Come in, get drunk, watch the sports ball, and enjoy overpriced almost there food.
If you're looking for a place to actually eat though, there are better options around.
Really fun place and great food. Will be back next time in town.
Fantastic local pub
