Recent visits have highlighted friendly and helpful staff, especially at the bar. While many guests find the food enjoyable, some have noted that it can be mid at best for the price, and portions may not always meet expectations. The atmosphere can vary, with some areas being poorly lit, though sitting at the bar or near a high top can enhance the experience. A recent customer mentioned the power salad as a meal-sized portion that is hearty and filling, while others enjoyed dishes like the fried pickles, chicken caprese sandwich, and smash burger. Overall, The LOCAL remains a cozy spot known for tasty drinks, making it a great choice for business meetings or a delightful evening out.
