We gave LoKal a second try while searching a great burger in town. After a long wait, our burgers came out overcooked. The manager was nice and offered to redo them, but after such a long wait l, it didn’t feel like a legitimate gesture of attention. Hopefully the experience improves next time.

I invited my brother to LoKal for his birthday, and he loved the experience! Cassandra, the manager, ensured that we felt extremely welcomed. The burgers were delicious, and my brother was very happy with his birthday song and tasty key lime pie!

Food was amazing! I had the Frita Burger by Kush and I didn't want it to end. We also had fried pickles which the sauce has just the right kick. Overall highly recommend trying this place out.

If you’re a true burger enthusiast, LoKal is an absolute must-visit. Their burgers — made with the famous Kush-style touch — are juicy, flavorful, and crafted to perfection. Each one brings something unique to the table, whether it’s a bold twist on a classic or a totally unexpected flavor combo that just works.
You can really tell these are competition-level burgers — not your average patty-and-bun. They’re stacked with fresh ingredients, cooked exactly right, and bursting with taste in every bite. Every burger I’ve tried has had its own personality, and honestly, I’d come back just to keep exploring the menu.
Pro tip: Come hungry. You’ll want to try more than one.

Food is excellent, try the alligator strips. It's a unique experience that everyone coming to coconut grove should go through in order to be inducted as a real grove afficionado. The restaurant has quirky vibes and they use mason jars and old dvd cases as their receipt folders. The food is great for mid-range fare including burgers and sandwiches, the fries are also pretty good. They have a decent beer selection and some outdoor seating. It's also a great price point compared to other restaurants around the grove that feel more like a tourist trap.
The parking in the grove is atrocious in general and that is not the fault of this establishment, also the traffic is very hard entering into and out of the grove to get here but once you're in Lokal you feel like you're really settling into what the vibes of coconut grove are actually supposed to feel like. This is one of the kush hospitality restaurants and the owner/restauranteur is well known for his creative flair while maintaining balance. Just try not to overdo it here, this isn't a fine dining restaurant but rather a place to grab something nice to eat and a cold beer on a hot day.

After patronizing Lokal for years, a fountain drink soda now costs $6 including the mandatory, not discretionary, gratuity and taxes, for sugar water. Minimum wage today in Florida is $13 an hour. Half an hour of work for sugar water at Lokal.
If I can give more than 5 star I would!! I have burger and alligators bite both fantastic my dog have brown rice and chicken since they have dogs menu too! The place is nice and good vibe I will be back with friends for sure! Bravissimi!

The OG fancy burger spot has been a staple in coconut grove for many years now. If ever I’m craving a burger, LoKal is the move.

As a Grove local we have been coming here since Lokal opened when Pricilla worked behind the bar.
In the past there was always a wait but you did not mind waiting since you knew the food and service were going to be spot on. As the years have passed we have noticed the slow decline in Lokal. They changed their menu and got rid of a lot of the staples. You no long have a wait and I can see why.
After not going for around 2 years, since we had a bad experience last time we went, we went back today to give them another try, and we regretted it
The service was absolutely HORRIBLE. Most of the time there was not a swingle server on the floor. They kept on hiding out in the kitchen. Thankfully, we were seated by the hostess so we were able to get her to help us since our server was MIA.
The fries used to be my favorite but today they were overcooked and bad. The wedge salad had no dressing and overloaded with onion.
It is sad to see on of the long time Grove restaurants just give up and not care anymore.

Great vibe and great food. The Frita by Kush burger was super flavorful and the fries were perfect. Our server was super attentive and helpful and recommended us to the Titi Marie vermouth and Tripping Animals No Mames beer. Loved our drinks and will definitely be back to try out more of the menu!

Four of us had dinner at LoKal recently. Two of our party were offered beer tasting to pick their beer of choice. We started with their guacamole appetizer which we all enjoyed. We each had the Classic burger individualized for our tastes. The burgers were fantastic. For dessert we shared a very generous slice of Key Lime pie which was the best we ever had and we eat Key Lime pie all the time. Our server Kati was friendly, informative and anticipated our needs. Other staff came by to make sure everything was OK. Even the manager Humberto came by to check in with us. We highly recommend LoKal. We will return !
