The Local 706 is an interesting mixture of the old and the new, combining the tried and true with the experimental. The menu offers a good selection of apps, burgers, sandwiches, salads, bowls, and wings. The inside is nothing special, but there are plenty of TVs to watch sports or events. The serving staff is friendly and welcoming, though they can sometimes be a little understaffed.
Customers have had mixed experiences with the food. The Classico Tacos were a letdown, lacking flavor even after adding salsa, while the Asian Tacos were flavorful but very greasy. Many visitors enjoyed the Mediterranean bowl, which received high praise, and the de diablo burger was noted for being delicious. Portion sizes are decent for the price, and the service is generally good, with quick food delivery and attentive waitstaff.
Parking can be tricky, with limited space out front but more options available in the back. Overall, The Local 706 has potential, and with some adjustments to the dishes, it could become a great spot. Recent visitors appreciated the fried pickles and the mushroom burger with fries, along with the Athena salad that features grilled chicken. Some guests reported concerns with flies when seated outside, but the atmosphere was described as nice and local, with a clean venue. Many customers plan to return.
