Amazing food! The pasta tasted absolutely delicious and would definitely it let have it again! The service was pretty good and the atmosphere isn’t bad at all. They do have live music certain days and overall the food was good!
Must try

You don't want to be in a hurry if you are eating here. This is the 2nd time eating here and both visits the service was beyond slow. The food is fine but not worth the hype and certainly not worth waiting 45 minutes (they were not that busy).

Impossible to even eat here because their parking lot is insanely too small.

While visiting Jax on a mini-vacay with my hubby, we came straight here for lunch when we got into town. It was past the normal lunch rush, so we immediately sat down at a table. I didn't want a full, heavy meal, so I ordered the burrata with pistachio -spinach pesto, onion balsamic jam, crushed red chili flakes, Parmesan, with rosemary focaccia. And MY WORD that was one of the best things I ever put in my mouth. I ordered a second plate of bread so I could make sure not to leave even one drop behind. I've been thinking about it for dayssss! Oh and my husband enjoyed his fried chicken sandwich too. But that DIP!!!

Super cozy, festive, boutique-style atmosphere!! 🍂 🎃 Amazing staff and service, always so welcoming, even to those who come to work on their laptops or handle business stuff! 💻☕️

🍽️ The food never fails, and prices have stayed fair through the years. Love the hot chicken n’ waffle 🍗 🧇

They’re always coming up with new specialty menu items while keeping the classics. Coffee, craft cocktails, beer on tap, and of course mimosas 🍊🧡

🍸 Bartender Spencer is a wonderful guy, super kind and attentive. Definitely ask to sit at the bar (if there’s room!)

🎶 Weekday happy hour, live music on Wednesdays (with 50% off bottles!), and an amazing outdoor patio space 🌿🌅

Stopped by The Local on San Jose Blvd, and we tried the short rib collard melt and the fried chicken sandwich — and they were both outstanding. The short rib was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the fried chicken sandwich had the perfect crunch with great seasoning. (Ask for the Sriracha Aioli)

The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, and the service was excellent. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food. Definitely one of the best local spots in San Marco — I’ll be back for sure!

We’re from out of town and truly enjoyed our entire experience at The Local! The chefs did an amazing job with the food — you can tell they really take their time and care with every dish they serve. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. A special thank-you to Flip, our server, for making the morning such a great one. From his food suggestions to his friendly personality, he went above and beyond. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!
